~ Mia ~As the night rose, my time with Mark was– terrible. Why was he picked?? He was friendly at times but a complete dick at others. I was happy when we had to say goodbye. He tried to pull Matthew’s move as he leaned in for a kiss. Not a chance, I closed the door on him. When will this torture end?Hamom helped me to my feet, and we returned to my room. When walking down the hall, Jabrel’s door was cracked open. Being a curious sister, I peeked in to check on him. “Sir Mark was a total jackass. My mother was wrong about that one.” He said with a serious tone.“People can be deceiving, my lord. You can’t trust his words.” Lily said. Things went quiet for a minute until you heard moving. Jabrel talked about the law I have to follow. He agreed that it was idiotic and that he would marry Lily if he had to marry.Lily?? Out of people, Lily?? Why marry a servant? Lily leads my brother’s maids and his first servant. Why marry her?? I listened closely to see if I was not crazy. “Your high

Anisel dragged me to a place that felt familiar but unfamiliar at the same time. “Where are we?” I was puzzled. I really drew a blank when I glanced around. We stopped at a trailer that was rusted down. I side-eyed him as he smiled.“When I want peace away from responsibilities, I come here. I know it is far from my kingdom but it's far enough for me to relax. This is like my second home.”How did he find this place?? Why would a noble like him be in a place like this?? I would be scared. Anisel parted his lips but got interrupted by lights in the sky. He took my hand and yanked me inside. He locked the door, squatted down, and covered my mouth. The light shine through the bar windows and voices were heard. I couldn't recognize their voices, so I listened closely. Anisel released his grip and so did I.“He has to be right. I saw two people walking around here before. It has to be them.” The stranger said. I wanted to ask questions until I studied Anisel’s face as he focused on the con

~ Mia ~“WHAT?!?” Anisel yelled. My hands covering his mouth shut him up. We are too out in the open for this damn it.“What is wrong with you? Trying to get us in trouble or something?” I said.“Sorry, I didn’t mean to do that. It’s a pretty name. It should have been your name.” He mentioned. My face began to flush as we walked back. He was acting weird as well since I told him that. We made it back without difficulties. We stood by the fountain before going to our rooms. “Thanks for taking me out, Anisel, I appreciate it.” I looked away.“Sure. Hope we can do this again before the ball.” He stated as he scratched the back of his head, nervously. I giggled as the last day is tomorrow. If we do it then I picked the location. We both smiled until we saw lights in the sky.“Dang, it’s the royal guards. They are probably doing their nightly patrol. We need to hide.” I panicked.We both searched around but nothing was decent. Without realizing it, my foot lost balance— my first instinct w

Once I was done with Hazel, we returned to Felix, who awaited my return. “Sorry to keep you waiting, my lord. I had to make sure I was presentable for you.” I said as I bowed. He chuckled and stated he was a patient guy. Good because I like to take my time. We headed for the garden for some peace.This is the last stop for my date with Felix. As we strolled along, my servants were watching closely, especially Hamon. Why are they always getting suspicious of everyone? We always stopped by an old apple tree with a swing.“Are you strong, my lord? If so, can you give me a push?” I demanded. He didn’t hesitate for a second as he gently pushed me.“What are you planning to do when queen, your highness?” I couldn’t see his face, but the tone sounded severe.Just like I told Matthew, I plan to change for the better. “I want to expand the kingdom to different parts of Africa. But I have to start small, so I am already in the process of combining with Pervia. Yuli and I are making arrangements

Hazel was impressed by what I said. Mikhal came out of nowhere, scaring us. We nervously looked at each other, thinking he may have heard the conversation. Hamon came rushing in with the first aid kit, with my brother behind him.“What happened?? Hamon is freaking the heck out. He almost destroyed the kitchen for the med kit.” Jabrel said as he plopped down on the bed.Hamon took some ointment and rubbed it on my burn. That tea was hotter than hell and burned a hole through my favorite skirt. Once changed, I stood up and checked it in the mirror. I can tell people it is a battle scar. I headed to the throne room to pass the time as I waited for Anisel.I can’t believe I will be picking my mate tomorrow. If I stick to Yuli’s plan, I will rule by myself. Jabrel followed me to the room for company. “You look good up here, sis. I will be a very proud brother once they crown you. I am now pronouncing the next ruler of Satia, Queen Mia Robertson! That sounds nice, doesn’t it?” he said as he

Everyone had a fun dinner. Anisel made my parents smile for a long time. After the delicious meal, I wanted to walk before my date with Anisel was over. I have to take every advantage I can. The more alone time with him, the more I get to know him.My parents initially hesitated because it was getting dark, but they agreed as long as my servants were with me. I took Anisel's hand as we dashed out of the back door. When we got outside, his face was completely red. "Umm, princess... your hand. You can let go now." He said nervously.I quickly snatched my hand away when I realized it. I covered my face and walked ahead; Anisel joined my side with red on his cheeks. "Are you nervous?" I asked him as I swiped my face.“About what? The ball?? Not at all.”“What if you don't get picked??” I said. He stopped me in my tracks and glanced my way. The look gave me chills as he asked if I wanted him to get picked. Was he teasing me?? Out of nowhere, he steps closer to where our noses touch. He ask

~ Anisel ~She knew we were innocent from the start. Then why go through the trouble of killing us?? I lifted my arm to wrap it around her shoulders. To feel her energy and how genuine she was made me blush. Deep within my heart, I wanted to protect her at all costs. But I have a mission, and I need to stick to it.These feelings make me feel strange. My mind is telling me to stop what I am doing and confess. Mia is making me want to tell the truth. To tell her the real me– am I falling for her?? When I looked into her eyes, they sparkled like stars. We leaned in; however, she tilted her head as something caught her attention.“Excuse me?” she said with an irritated voice.I turned to where she looked, and my jaw dropped. What the hell are they doing here?? Why are they coming towards us?? “GUARDS!” I yelled out. They came rushing immediately in. Hamon and Hazel drew out their swords.“I mean no harm to the princess, I swear. I didn’t mean to ruin your moment as well. I want to ask if

~ 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,”
