Aethelfrith's POV"Who is she?" Crimson asked, her voice barely a whisper.Tyramon walked towards me smiling, "it was Bella on the phone." she locked my hands in hers."What is going on here? What is the meaning of this?" Crimson asked, her expression and voice filled with anger. I kept quiet contemplating the answer to give."Aethelfrith" she shouted, "I am talking to you." I could see and hear the hurt in her voice, I needed to say something before father interferes.I separated my hand from Tyramon's hand. "Crimson, this is Tyramon, my friend" the smile on Tyramon's face instantly turned to confusion, my heart broke at the sight."A friend?" Crimson asked, not believing what I had just said.As I watched Crimson's tear-filled eyes and listened to the pain in her voice, my heart shattered into a million pieces. I had never wanted to hurt her, and yet here I stood.I looked into Crimson's eyes, "Yes,she is just my Friend." I answered unwaveringly."Okay" Crimson walked towards Tryamo
Aethelfrith's POVFear, panic and confusion ran through my veins as I didn't see Tryamon in her room and blood stains on the floor.Where could she have gone?Why is there blood on the floor?Is she hurt?I brought out my phone to dial her number but her phone rang in the room. I searched for her phone and found it on her bed.My mind calmed down when I saw Tyramon come out from the bathroom. I rushed to hug her but she pulled away.I tried to reach out to Tyramon, my voice filled with concern. "Tyramon, what happened? Why is there blood on the floor?"Tyramon's eyes avoided mine as she muttered, "It's nothing. Just a small accident."My worry only intensified as I noticed her flinching slightly, as if in pain. "Tyramon, please don't lie to me. Let me help you. What really happened?""You really want to know what happened?" Tyramon shouted, making me realize I have hurt her deeply."You, happened" she spat, her expression laced with a mix of anger and disgust."Tyramon, I am sorry, I
Tyramon's POVMy heart shattered into a million different pieces at the welcome party when I saw that other woman hug Aethelfrith with so much love, passion, respect and admiration in her eyes for him but those million pieces shattered into billion pieces the moment Aethelfrith introduce me as his friend and not his girlfriend to her.I couldn't understand anything, I held back the tears threatened to fall from my tears filled eyes as Leon walked me to my room as I couldn't bear the pain of seeing the two of them together at the welcome party."Who is she?" I asked Leon, my voice barely audible."Who?" Leon asked pretending not to understand what I was trying to say."The lady who hugged Aethelfrith at the Threshold," I said."She is the would-be-Crown princess Crimson," Leon said, making me speechless for a moment."What do you mean Crown princess? There is already a Crown prince and that is Aethelfrith, there cannot be a crown prince and crown princess expect," I paused when the rea
Crimson's POVYesterday's welcome party for Aethelfrith was a success but he had barely stayed till the end of the party. I was a bit scared when I saw Aethelfrith came in with another girl for a second I taught maybe, just maybe but I was wrong.I sat naked in the bathtub in the bathing room, the pool filled with warm water,honey, milk and petals. My most trusted and loyal maids use almond oil to massage my flawless skin gently and coconut oil to wash and massage my hair. The whole bathroom filled with the scent of lavender."You could have filled the water with roses instead of lavender," I complained to the maids."My lady, we have always used lavender," Katrina said,still massaging my hair."I know but let's try roses next time" I instructed, everyone nodded their heads."The Lady that came in yesterday smelled like roses, did you know that my Lady?" Rose asked, looking at the mirror to see my every reaction."No I didn't, how would I know that? Do you know what?" I paused, "am th
Crimson's POVI walked into the dinning room wearing jeans and a top, despite having my training. It was something I have never done. I always wore a gown before my training to the dining table, then later changed to trousers after breakfast for my training. As I entered the dining room the palace maids and guards looked up at me, their eyes judging but their mouths dare not make any sounds or utter any word. I took my seat on the dining table awaiting everyone's arrival.Everyone began walking into the dining table one by one. I was smiling seeing everyone walk in but that smile was wiped out from my face when I saw Aethelfrith and that other woman Tryamon walking in giggling at each other like children. I tried my best to keep my anger within myself.Everybody took their position on the dining table, I had purposely left a space for Aethelfrith to sit but he and Tryamon said opposite me."Aethelfrith, are you supposed to sit with your betrothed?" The king asked, looking at Aethelfr
Aethelfrith's POV As the morning sunlight streams in, I take notice of the sunlight reflecting on Tyramon's face and want to protect her from being woken up by the bright rays. With a gentle gesture, I used my hands as a shield, blocking the sunlight from disturbing her sleep. I stared at her smiling and admiring her, she looked so beautiful and peaceful while sleeping. I watched as her eyelids fluttered slightly, sensing the approaching Dawn."Good morning," Tyramon said, her voice calm and gentle."Good morning, did you sleep well?" I asked, I pecked her lips making her blush."Of course, I did because you slept by my side," Tyramon said, shyly. I smirked the moment I remembered our make-out session last night, "did you enjoy Last night?" I teased, making Tyramon blush harder."I think it's time you go to your room, my prince," Tyramon said playfully, getting up from the bed.I held her wrist, "I can't leave, I will have my bath here then from here we shall proceed to the dining
Tyramon's POV"Can you tell me about Crimson?" I asked the maid Rose as we walked towards the library to meet the king."Do you mean to say Crown Princess Crimson?" Rose asked, correcting me in the process."Yes Crown Princess Crimson," I answered, trying to hide my irritation.What would be so bad if I called her Crimson?."It is wrong to call the Crown princess by her name and certain punishments are to be faced," Rose said,as if reading my mind."Okay, so are you going to tell me about her? And yes Zella too?" I said curiously."Crown princess Crimson is the soon-to-be wife and queen to Aethelfrith and of this Realm. Princess or Lady Zella is Aethelfrith's immediate elder sister and Crown Princess Crimson Best friend." Rose answered as if she was trained to say Just that."Is that all?" I asked dryly."Yes my lady, that is all I believe you need to know," Rose said to me, she turned to the guard, "announce the arrival of Lady Tyramon to the king," Rose ordered, and the guards obeye
Aethelfrith's POV"Father asked to see you after Crimson's Training session" Leon said looking down at his phone. Leon is addicted to his phone. I seriously don't get why."Me? Why?" I asked."I would know, I am not father, I am Leon," Leon said, I nodded my head."What was Lilah on about?" I asked Leon the moment Tyramon left the dining room."Who is Lilah?" Leon asked, making me look at him in shock. I snatched his phone From his hands , Leon's phone was becoming an obstacle."What? What did she say?" Leon asked, raising his eyebrows at me."About me being blind," I chuckled."Of course, you were blind throughout the whole dinner," Leon laughed."What's funny?" I asked, sounding unsure."Crimson purposely wore a jean to the dining room to gain your attention but you being a fool didn't," Leon smacked me on the Head."But she did gain Father's attention," I tried controlling my laughter."Father supported her, guess who got on father's wrong side?" Leon said in a mocking tone, the sm
