The Princess And Her Peasant Ballroom Dance
|Princess Zoey’s Point Of View| We look out of the window together. The view from my room of the palace grounds is outstanding as it is on the first floor. The workers are running here and there down on the grounds, carrying trays, flowers and whatnot. Everyone seems to be busy with the ballroom preparations. I feel Micah's hands on my waist slowly caressing circles as if to soothe me. "You are stressed out." he kisses my cheek. I hum, "How can I not? We are talking about the noblemen here. They hold a shitload of power. And sometimes even a king can waver." "But you shouldn't waver, you know. Never show it. Because if you do, it'll be for them, not for you." "Absolutely." I lean against his chest, feeling his heartbeat against my nape. "If it's about the ball today. Knight James appointed a few of my fellow folks to guard the hall. And some to be by the entrance to check whether the swords (in masquerade ball attire, a fake sword comes with it) are all fake. And the faces of ev
The Princess And Her Peasant Make Love(mature)
|Princess Zoey’s Point Of View| After the masquerade ball, I walk out of the ballroom, tired as ever. Micah joins me, looking a bit preoccupied in his mind. So I ask why. "During the Queen's speech, three people left the ballroom when there's no reason to do so. They came only after the ball was over," he explains. "You should've gone after them," I say. "I can't risk your safety. Not even once." he sternly says. "Yeah…and. It's fine. The event is over, and my father's not in danger. I will go to my room. Can you make your way to Knight James or Henry and inform one of them about the occurrence?" I ask. "Yes, your Highness. I will be on that." Micah leaves as we are near my room. So I walk inside and ask Pamela to check the surroundings for anything suspicious. I also send a few extra guards to guard the chambers of the guests who are spending the night in the palace. I change into my night attire, and Micah comes in after a while, changed into his soldier attire. "Why are you
The Princess And Her Peasant The Murder
|Micah’s Point Of View| Princess's hand clutches at my sleeve as she stares at the blood pool and the dead body in horror. Her eyes jump from the blood to the slit-opened throat of the lady. "You can't cry," I whisper to Princess, gently holding her upper arm. I don't hug her because people have already gathered around us. And I want Princess to look strong, unshaken by this incident. The crowd parts when Knight James and Knight Henry come in. Knight James looks at the dead body with a raised eyebrow while the other gets down and examines the body, confirming the death and looking for clues. "Micah she- she's dead," Princess whispers to me in disbelief. "I know. But- you can't cry now. Hold on there. Act strong for now." I whisper back. She nods, understanding what I mean. She clutches my sleeve harder and looks at James, who's already looking at us. "I-" Princess clears her shaky voice. "-I want all the witnesses of the body to remain where they are. Knight James will take care
The Princess And Her Peasant Micah's Fault
|Princess Zoey’s Point Of View| The eerie silence of the palace gives me chills. Even past 6 am, we worked on finding the culprit from the guests of the masquerade ball. But it was impossible because, according to the workers, no one had worn the sea blue colour as the night's colours were dark colours. It made us wonder what the whole mix-up was. Finally, James concluded maybe the murderer appeared to wear blue at that moment, or maybe it was a whole other person from the outside of the palace. Things gave me a headache, so I threw things across the room and asked everyone to leave. As expected, Micah didn't leave and convinced me to take some rest. So at 6 am, I finally went to sleep with him watching over me. In my dreams, it is only the Viscountess whispering to me that I am the reason why she got killed... that all the chaos is happening because of me. I wake up gasping for air and feel fear creeping through my body. But Micah soothes me down, and I realise he hasn't got a wi
The Princess And Her Peasant Preparations
|Princess Zoey’s Point Of View| I look down at Micah with wide eyes. He drops his sword and keeps his palms on the ground. "I know I have... ruined all the plans and put many lives at stake. I admit I am at fault, and I will take all responsibility. I believe there's still a chance- a chance we can get help and mend this. I will- gladly leave if it means Princess's life won't be in danger." he says. "What the hell are you saying?!" I ask Micah who's a shithead! I get down in front of him and shake him by his shoulders. I want to bring him back to his senses and say that he won't leave me, no matter what. "Come back to your damn senses, idiot!" Father leaves amid all that, and tears stream down Micah's eyes. "I just- realised I've a-always been the reason for all this, y-your highness." he pulls me into a hug and cries out. I've never seen him this way that I feel my heart aching at the sight, and I embrace him. "Are you giving up on me?" I ask. I feel him shake his head. "Then
The Princess And Her Peasant The Enemy Army
|Princess Zoey’s Point Of View| (ps. I've used a Historical K-drama palace structure in the story) Nothing happens during the meeting, and the tension seems to get lighter with time. The meeting gets over, and I walk past all the officers(noblemen) to leave the hall. I look at each of them... wondering how many are expecting to kill me, how many are rooting for the revealed treason. For a fact, I know I can't trust any of them. And if a Queen can't trust his fellow officials, it's a damn failure right there. I really wish I could know their thoughts. But I am no mind reader. I walk out of the hall and meet the rest of the guards, including Micah. I give him a short smile, and we walk to the right in the corridor. Suddenly, just after a few seconds, I hear whizzing sounds in the air, and when I turn back, I find the three soldiers that followed me lying dead on the ground with arrows in their chests and stomachs. Another arrow has hit the wall next to the corridor, inches away fro
The Princess And Her Peasant The Betrayal
|Princess Zoey’s Point Of View| Winter! What is she doing with my enemies? She walks toward us, and under my watchful eyes, she joins the enemy group. My sword freezes in mid-air as I stare at her in disbelief. Duke Tyler sees my expression and laughs aloud. "Isn't it surprising little Princess? I told you already you are so naive. Winter has been on my side since the beginning. And she worked to lure you-" "He's lying!" Winter yells. "I- I did everything because of my f-father," she says. I clench my sword's grip and continue staring at her. As her eyes meet mine, I remember how she entered my chambers to talk with me today as if she cared. What is this? I don't understand. I want an explanation. If she was always on my enemies' side, why did she bother to help me? Why did she go through all that for me? And she's wearing that colour as well- "Did you kill the Viscountess?" I ask the question that struck my mind the moment I saw her hat. She looks down and doesn't answer. Ins
The Princess And Her Peasant The Killing
|Princess Zoey’s Point Of View| Just then, I hear a whizzing sound in the air. I assume it's Micah, but it comes from a balcony. Baron sky gets hit on his neck and falls to the ground dead. We look at the balcony, only to find my maid, Pamela holding a bow and smiling at her victory. "Aarh!" Duke Tyler yells in anger. "Winter, kill that wench for the better!" he orders Duchess Winter. Trust me when I say it's the most painful thing to witness. My best friend looks at me in guilt. Then she bows her head to my enemy and takes his order. She sprints toward the stairway, and my eyes widen as I look back at Pamela. She looks frightened. "Pam! Run! Run!! Fast! Go!" I yell while blocking another sword slash. I see that Pamela’s shaken by fear and frozen right where she is. And I see my best friend running toward her with her sword. That sight makes my anger take the best out of me. "Winter you betraying piece of shit!!" I scream till my throat hurts. Then I grab my hidden knife from my
