~ Mia ~The following day a knock woke me up from my well-deserved sleep. So, I covered my head and turned around until the door creaked. "Good morning, my lady. It is time to get up as you need to get ready for the ball.” He said with a smile. Hamon came in right after him. They both were excited today.As for me, I wasn't. This day needs to skip forward where I become queen. I didn't want to meet my future partner. I know my mom will pick the worst possible noble, like Felix. Hamon walked toward my bed and snatched the covers.“Today is not the day to be laying around, your majesty. We need to get things ready before the ball. Like your gown, for example. I heard it is beautiful, just like you.”“Do you really need me to get it? I want to sleep more so I can have energy for the ball. Where I give up my freedom.” I pulled my covers back. They know everything will change at this moment. I don’t want to do this. Suddenly, another knock came at the door.“Don’t think about it that way,”

~ Anisel ~Throughout the morning, I was fearing for my life. Hazel stood there as I paced up and down the room. Joshua was in bed minding his own business. “The day has come. What if I don’t get picked?? Then what!!! We would be so fucked!!” I shouted.“First of all, chill before you break something. Second, if you don’t get picked, then we will have to steal the crown. But can you do that to your Laura…” Joshua sarcastically said.Since yesterday, Joshua and I have been at each other’s throats, mainly when I talked about my feelings for Mia. That day went so badly. “Don’t start with me, Joshua. Today is not the day for your childish acts.” I told him. He needs to get out of his feelings and be happy for me.Something wiggled out of his mouth before he put the cover over his head. I knew Hazel was uncomfortable because she hurriedly left the room to get my evening clothes. I sat down at the window to clear my mind, and Joshua popped back up to tell me don’t mess up. How? We got one s

Yes!!! I am so happy they were chosen, but does it have to be them? How am I supposed to choose?? Two handsome guys standing in front of me with two different souls. They stood back up and looked at me with loving eyes. I couldn’t breathe; I needed to compose myself quickly. So, I stood up from the throne.“You guys will show me your strength and loyalty as I evaluate your overall personality. In the next couple of weeks, we will see who will become victorious to be king.”Everyone cheered as they raised their glasses up high. The list got small enough that I didn't want to choose this time. The night went perfectly. We all had a good time.The following day I got woken up by sunlight in my eyes. Why did I pick this room again? I yawned while opening my eyes to see Hamon fixing the curtains.“Good morning, my lady. How did you sleep?” He walks over to the bed, pulling off the covers with ease. Come on; I can't rest for a second. I don't have a chance as my schedule has been filled up f

I collected myself after that mishap. We took our things and headed back into town. “Are you sure that you are okay, my lady?” Mikhal asked in a worried tone. I was fine, I think. This situation shows you; you can’t trust anyone— not even friends. As we walked along, a crowd of people surrounded a particular area. I quickly ran to see what was the problem. Squeezing my way through, I ordered Hamon to move people aside. I couldn't believe my eyes as one of my royal guards was on the ground– bleeding. Mikhal and Hamon went to get help. “What happened?” I asked around. “A suspicious person was walking around here. When I tried to ask questions, they attacked out of nowhere.” They? Mikhal and Hamon returned with some guards, and they attended to the injured. It seemed like we had an outsider in the kingdom, which is highly unacceptable. “HAMON! Get the best guards and find whoever is responsible for this incident. I want them to be brought to me.” I ordered in an aggressive tone. The

~ Mia ~ I followed Hamon and Mikhal to the dining hall and noticed the boys were right behind me. I thought I was eating alone since Jabrel wanted to rest. But I didn't mind the company. The boys joined me on the other side of the table face to face. “Do I smell or something?? Why are you so far away, my lords?” I asked them. They looked at each other and then switched seats. Anisel was on my left, while Matthew was on the right. “So, my lady. Is there any reason why you are in Hazel’s humble abode?” He asked. “Something happened at the central market. Due to that, Jabrel and I will be here until that person is captured. Hope that is okay with you?” Anisel explained this wasn’t his house, so he didn’t care if I was there. He turned to Matthew to ask the same question. “I was helping Mia with something and stayed with her for comfort.” Anisel mumbled under his breath and gave him a stare. While that was happening, the servants finally passed out the plates, and within four minutes,

~ Anisel ~ The following day I felt an arm wrapped around my body. Did Joshua have a nightmare or something?? I slowly sat up to notice Mia clinging to me like a Koala. Holy shit, what the hell happened last night? We were on the bench and somehow ended up in the bed. I checked under the covers to see if we had clothes on. Yes, we are cleared. How did we fall asleep over there?? I carefully moved her arm over and slid out of bed. Suddenly, Mia grabbed me again. “Your highness, I need to go before I get caught,” I said worriedly. She took her head and wanted me to stay to cuddle. I wish, but I must leave before suffering consequences. I kissed her on the cheek and went on my way. Heading towards the window of my room, I peeked in to see if anything was unusual. The coast was clear, so I hopped in the room. I found Joshua and Hazel snuggled up. “There you are. Where were you last night?” My little brother said. Hazel followed his movements and clung to him. “With the princess,” I sta

~ Mia ~ Hazel, Jabrel, Anisel, Matthew, and I were playing board games in the living area. “You are cheating!” Hazel said as she punched him gently. “No, I am not. I swear you owe me money for landing on my square.” He grinned. “How? When did you own it?” Those two began to fuss about the stupid square. As for me, I was counting money until something covered it. Anisel’s hand pressed against mine and revealed a note. I knew Matthew had seen it because his expression said it all. He got up from his chair and accused Anisel of being sneaky, which he was right. Anisel rolled his eyes and said he didn't know what it said. It could be about his zipper that keeps falling. Matthew’s face turned red with embarrassment, and he quickly zips it back up. He crossed his arms and pouted. These past few days have been insane as they became more competitive. But I know who I want; I hope my parents pick right. The game was nearly over, and I had run out of money. So, I waited for the others to f

A voice came to my ear, so when I opened my eyes, a body appeared. Who is that?? When searching around, I noticed Joshua, Hazel, and Matthew didn’t move a muscle. So, who could this be?? The head turned back towards me. My mind couldn’t believe it— it was Prince Jabrel. Holy shit?!?! Where did he come from?? How did he even know?? Not a second later, the royal guards were right behind him. They apprehended Chris and put him in cuffs. Jabrel collapsed to his knees and began to gasp. Sweat dripped down his neck as he regained himself. “Are you alright?” He said.“Are YOU alright, my lord?? How did you know?”“Lucky guess. But Mia was the one who wanted me to look for you.”Mia— she was that worried about me? That she risked her own brother’s life?? Wow. Once Chris was taken, everything began to calm down. The people who were bombing the place surrendered and turned themselves in. Good.As we were talking, Mia scared the shit out of me when she appeared out of a wall. How many rooms are
