Surviving the World to Escape Him CHAPTER 76 – WHY THE REGENT STILL LIVES
QUEEN DOWAGER“Nanny Wang.” She stepped forward and bowed. “I am here, Your Majesty.” With the lid of the cup, I slowly moved the tea leaves away before taking a sip. “Remind me why I left the regent live, when others were taken care of?” with his recent actions, Julian was making me wonder why I let him live in the first place when I took care of all the other useless princes this kingdom had.“He was obedient, filial, never questioned you and followed the rules. He was the only one who had potential to be a good king.” I hummed, all of that had changed in a short period of time. “Remind me again why I sent him to the village back then.” It was the damned village that changed him. meeting that orphan girl.“He was not sleeping, Your Majesty, he suffered from nightmares about the fire. You thought sending him to the village was going to calm him and put his mind at ease.” I pushed him to go when he refused. I pushed him right into that girl’s hands and she didn’t miss the opportunity
Surviving the World to Escape Him CHAPTER 75 – YOU BROKE MY TRUST
HELENAI didn’t go to the shop that morning. Julian had told me to wait for him and despite everything inside me screaming that I should leave, I stayed. Part of me wanted to see him. I wanted to make sure he was alright. General Tom had secretly told me that he slept outside my door last night. He pleaded for me to forgive him, to let him explain and to try and understand where he was coming from. To understand that some of the work he did couldn’t be shared. His words made me think that I had been too impulsive but then part of me refused to believe I was wrong. This time, his work involved meeting another woman behind my back. It brought trouble to my door. The Queen Dowager. Someone he knew every well I wanted nothing to do with. If he had told me, I would have been prepared, but I was blindsided. Terrified when she called me to the palace. thinking my life was over. Did he think of that when he hid the truth from me? I didn’t think he did. I sat outside under the peach tree th
Surviving the World to Escape Him CHAPTER 74 – THE FALL OF A GENERAL
JULIAN “After court, I will come right back. please, wait for me.” I waited for her to say something, but nothing came. She just calmed walked over to the table where her maid, Rose had just placed her breakfast. I felt defeated, I wanted to stay and explain more. Get her to take to me, but I knew staying wasn’t an option. I had to get to court and finish what I started.I walked out; general Tom was standing outside. “I am leaving the lady to you, keep her safe and if anything happens. Send for me.” I didn’t wait for him to respond or looked back. I knew if I did. I wouldn’t leave. Not with her ignoring me as if all my explanations didn’t matter.I mounted my horse and rose fast through the bustling streets of the capital toward the palace. morning breeze hit me hard turning my cheeks a little red from the cold. But I couldn’t be bothered, I had to get there, deal with the case and go back fast. When I got to the palace, the outside of the throne room was empty. Which meant only one
Surviving the World to Escape Him CHAPTER 73 – NOT AGAIN
JULIAN After I spoke, I watched as the light in her eyes slowly return. I let out a sigh of relief but the next second, that spark faded as if it were never there. I watched her resolute back as he tuned and went back inside leaving me with a heavy heart. I was not hurt because of her reaction to what I did. I was hurt because I had failed to do what I had promised her. Protecting her, I had been so focused on what I was doing that I forgot what it would look like if she were to find out. How she would feel. I was too short sighted. My mind went back to the carriage.The look on her face, how she called me Your Highness, so distant as if we were strangers. How she spoke of me marrying someone else. She wasn’t just hurt or acting distant. My chest burned, tension gathered on my shoulders. Knowing Helena the way I did. She… oh dear gods not again. I stared at the locked door forgetting how to breathe for a moment. Helena was not only acting distant, she was taking herself out of the
Surviving the World to Escape Him CHAPTER 72 -DOUBT
HELENA I never said a word until we left the palace. I might have not said anything, but my mind was a mess. So, all the time when he said he was busy, the time when he left me in the middle of the night. When he would be gone for days on end. He was meeting the general’s daughter, Nadia. What a fool I had been. I wanted to be angry, lash out, but at what and for what? That lady was nice and cheerful. Has a warm welcoming smile. I met her once; she came to my shop and ordered some of my goods. Back then I had been in awe of her beauty, not only that, she was a calm soul and easy to get along with. I had even thought if I were a person who could make friends easily, she would have been the first person I would befriend. “Don’t take what she said to heart.” I could hear Julian talking beside me but none of it registered. I suddenly chuckled feeling so foolish. Why didn’t I ever question him before, what made me trust him unconditionally after everything I had been through, what made
Surviving the World to Escape Him CHAPTER 71 – FEAR
JULIANAfter leaving Helena, I rode my horse hard to the palace. I wanted to find out what my grandmother wanted from her. I wasn’t about to let her enter the palace blindly. My grandmother was not someone we could underestimate. I would rather be safe and prepared than sorry.When I got to the palace the guards tried to stop me, I pushed him away and walked right into father’s study. He was with the minister of works. They both turned when I walked in. the minister quickly stood and bow. “Prince Regent.” I ignored him and looked straight at father. “What did you tell the Queen Dowager about her?”Father frowned. “Julian, I am in a meeting, you can’t just barge in here and say what you want. you didn’t even greet me.” I turned to the minister and threw him a glare. He smiled awkwardly. “Prince Regent, the king and I were just discussing the weap
Surviving the World to Escape Him CHAPTER 3 – SAVED, I THOUGHT
HELENAPain surged through my body as I tried to sit up and get myself off the ground. The pain was sharp and sudden. Chasing away the last traces of weakness I had. Along with it, the hope of survival. In my condition, it didn’t matter what I did. I couldn’t fight my way through what was coming. I
Surviving the World to Escape Him CHAPTER 2– DANGER
HELENA I thought I could go on after that. But I didn’t even take five steps before my body refused to cooperate. I looked back, I was already far from the palace, it wouldn’t hurt to rest. I spotted bushes not far from the road. I slowly walked there, dragging my throbbing foot. When I got to the
Surviving the World to Escape Him CHAPTER 1-The Escape
HELENA “Fire, everyone out! there is a fire.” Smoke choked me before I was fully awake. I coughed rushing out of the servants’ quarters. When I got outside it was chaos, maids and guards running around like headless chickens with buckets of water trying to put out the fire. I stood there in daze w
Surviving the World to Escape Him CHAPTER 7– SAFE HAVEN, ALMOST
HELENA The forest felt different when I was alone in it. not emptier. Just honest. Every sound mattered now. every snap of a branch. Every shift in the wind. Every breath I tried to keep steady. There was no one left to decide what I was worth. No one left to watch. Only the path. Only me.I follo
