Aurora's life became a mess, a total mess. Her life was perfect at first. A loving family, a happy home. Her life was simple and perfect. But the arrival of a letter was what caused her whole world to crumble, but in a way, started a new beginning for her. **** Her heart was beating loudly in her ears. Her breath coming out as small sighs. They were so close, noses slightly rubbing. She couldn't believe what was happening. She had tried to run away from him but she kept falling into his arms. His hazel coloured eyes watched her every move, a charming yet devilish grin plastered on his face. He had his arm over her head. "Your.." "Why do you try to run? Have you forgotten that you live under my roof?" He asked. She shivered when he ran his thumb on her cheek. "Please let me go" She pleaded. She felt light-headed because of his proximity. "How can I when I'm not even holding you." He asked with a smirk. Her expression pleased him. He leaned towards her ear and whispered; "You can hide all you want, but you'll always come back to me, both as a king and as a man."
View MoreI walked through the hallways of the castle. The place had little illumination because of the torches that had been lit. I had just informed princess Ella that dinner has been served. But instead of heading back to the kitchen, I walked along the hallways which was where the royal quarters resided.
I found myself staring at the paintings as I walked. I got to a particular painting which was that of the late king. He was known to be very ruthless and cruel. Like all kings I suppose. He had very handsome features and he definitely passed them unto his children.
"What are you doing here?" A cold voice sounded from behind me. My heart started to beat very fast. I turned around slowly and my eyes widened when I saw who it was. It was the King! I immediately dropped my eyes to avoid his sight.
" I said what are you doing here?" His voice sounded much calmer but I could feel his eyes piercing through my soul.
"I'm sorry your majesty. I just got lost." I said. It wasn't a lie, I got sidetracked because I was busy admiring the paintings.
The king stared at her. "When did you get here?" He asked.
"I got here today your majesty." I said while not raising my head up. The king looked at her from top to bottom.
"You shouldn't be here, no one is allowed in the kings quarter at this time." His voice came out as a whisper which sent shivers down her spine.
'Why was the king making me feel so nervous?' I wondered. I didn't know that I was in the king's quarters. Martha had told me something about it but I didn't pay too much attention. He came closer to her.
"A fragile being like you should be cautious. Don't think that the four walls of the castle is totally safe, because it's not entirely safe." He said. I saw a small peak of his perfect teeth when I raised my head up and I gulped.
"Yes your highness." I felt him leave my presence but he stopped after taking a couple of steps.
"Leave this place now!" I heard him order. I didn't wait to be told twice and I walked hastily away from there. When the girl left, a smile came unto his lips.
"Oh princess, this is horrible! I fear this will be the end of us.“ Said Vicky. Isabelle groaned and threw the covers off her body.“Exactly! Grandma and Grandpa are so mad. If they could, they would kick father out of here."“But that's not possible. Another war is upon us.““Vicky! Don't be so pessimistic. We will get out of this situation, even though I don't know how.““You just can't see the seriousness of this matter. The last war between these two sides was horrible. So many casualties occured on both sides. It was a war to be remembered.““I know, my brothers have told me. But I believe that this king Owen won't wage a war against his own daughter. That would be madness!""He is mad. I have people who live there. The kingdom is a hell hole. He rules them with an iron fist. He even cut ties with some kingdoms who helped with some productions. He's suffering the kingdom. But somehow, they've been surviving.“ "He sounds like he's mentally unstable. Maybe Gabriel was right.l, we
Isabelle glanced from her brothers to her father. He had an unreadable expression. Lauren hadn't said a word, she just stayed rooted on her seat, face still in her hands.“What happened?“ Darien asked. It was at that moment that the adults acknowledged their presence. Karla just let out a huff.“There's no point hiding it from them.“ Said Charles. He then loosened his tie. "Tell them what you did and the war you've plunged their home Into." He exclaimed.Isabelle wanted to say something but she decided against it. What could she even say? And she believed that her brothers could handle it. "What do we need to know?" Asked Gabriel with a curious look. Isabelle stared at him, slightly shocked. Were they going to pretend that they didn't already know?"Yes father, what do you want to tell us?" Added Darien. Darien's statement answered her question. "He won't talk, because he knows what he's done is wrong." Karla said. She was extremely angry and it bothered Isabelle. She immediately ra
After their reunion, they all headed back to the palace. Darien and Gabriel had caught three Stags. Isabelle knew that at one point her brothers got competitive. Habriel always wanted to prove that he was a better hunter than Darken, and Darien being the eldest wouldn't allow his younger brother to surpass him. But she just didn't know who got two Stags, to become the winner.When they finally arrived at the palace, Lauren alighted from her horse and immediately went inside without sparing the siblings a look. Darien then pulled his sister and brother inside.“So what happened?“ Darien asked his sister.“Nothing. We talked for a while and I went off to get the Antelope. She followed later on.““So in conclusion it didn't go as planned.“ Said Gabriel.“It was slightly alright. But I asked her about her family and she said that her parents were dead.““Lies, how long do they think they can keep this from us?“ Questioned Darien. He knew his father well, and he knew that he would do anyth
A stablesman Prepared four horses like Isabelle commanded, she rushed over to persuade her eldest brother.“Darien, why do you always have to be a sadist? Queen Lauren has already agreed, why can't you do the same?"“I would follow if you hadn't invited her. We only hunt with our family. She is not our mother Belle."“But she's father's wife and he would like for us to treat her as our mother.““She can never replace mother. Father has literally brought doom to our kingdom by marrying her."“I know, but I just want us to put aside our differences. And maybe Father will even…““What? That he'll become the caring father that he was before? That will never happen Belle. That all perished when mother died. And now that he has another wife, it's impossible." He said bitterly. Isabelle stared at her brother in shock.“It's not impossible! Father will realise that we are giving her a chance and that we respect him. He will change towards us.“ Isabelle stated with teary eyes. Ever since their
Rupert decided to go to Valeria with his men of three, to caress his curiosity. Princess Lauren was in this Kingdom and he was going to dig every sort of information about her presence here.Right now, he had just found out something very shocking. The king of Valeria and his princess had gotten married a few days ago! He almost had a heart attack when he heard. He wondered what sort of game the princess, and now Queen of Valeria, was playing. Hooking up with the King of Valeria was bad enough, but getting married to him was even worse. He wondered if his King knew already.There was little information. Apparently the wedding was done low-key and only a few people were invited. That means they didn't want it to get out, knowing that King Owen might find out about it. But how long was she planning on hiding it? It was definitely a secret that would come out in a matter of time.He reported back to King Owen, telling him about when they got married, where when, and even the dress she w
In the kingdom of Gasha;King Owen was pacing frantically in his throne room, waiting for some news from his right hand man, Falley. He needed to know if his daughter was really at Valeria, and with their miserable king. It's been two days, and he was getting restless.Fakkey assured that he would get news today.He finally decided to have a seat. All of this prancing won't help him. What will he do if it turns out to be true? Will he storm the kingdom until he gets his daughter back? Or will he send an attack to kill every one of the palace inhabitants, including his daughter.Yes, he was mad. In fact, he was furious at the thought that his daughter could be with that man, the son of his arch enemy. He will never be able to forgive her, no matter how hard he tries.“Your highness.“ He heard Falley say. He was so lost in thought that he didn't realise that Falley had arrived."Do you have news?"“Yes your highness, I just got word from one of our spies.“ He said, while holding up the
