Chapter 20 - A Competition of Two Women?

Lianne stood at the edge of the railing on a balcony outside the grand hall. Her right hand gripped the railing tightly feeling vexed by something she thought was inferior. Why was she feeling annoyed with the woman’s presence? Much more, why did it cause a strong emotion seeing the prince talk to another woman other than herself? Surely, she must have gone mad. Continuing to cool herself down, it was then that she realized she had inadvertently stomped her foot when she caught a glimpse of the two walking towards the center of the dance floor. “That lewd woman!” Lianne turned her back quickly away from them and began to take deep breaths. “And what was he claiming about? Thinking about me the whole time when he was in Versailles?! Huh! Go fool others!” she shouted, unaware that Lord Cain had just arrived in the balcony. “W

Chapter 21 - A Dance Would Be Enough

It didn’t take long for Ruen to reach the music room of the east wing. He was relieved that such an ordeal with Lady Kathrine was over. Lord Jared would have found something worthwhile for her to dispose of her time while she was at the mansion, so he didn’t have to worry anymore. Now that he was free, the only thing in his mind was to go back to the grand hall and see to it that Princess Lianne and the general was still in public view. He was anxious about the fact that even just a simple blink of an eye, Cain could easily manage her out of the dance floor and into a secluded place where... He shook his thoughts away and cringed. Before anything could happen, he was damn going to make it sure he was there to stop it. The music room was very spacious amidst the various types of instruments placed on it. There was no one in sight. No merchant or a

Chapter 22 - An Absurd Marriage

Lianne was at a loss for words by the sight on her front. Noticing that nearby guests were observing them, she realized she couldn’t refuse his offer at all. With this, her expression calmed from being disappointed a moment ago, and stared at the awaiting prince with mistrust in her eyes. “What about that woman?” she inquired. Ruen raised his brow in confusion, but instead of answering her, he straightened and proceeded to guide her at the center of the dance floor. He was pleased Lianne didn’t retreat but protest she did by inconspicuously tugging back her hand and throwing angry glares at him. “Act like you are enjoying it, princess. People would know that you’re hostile towards me by the look on your face,” he whispered when they reached the dance floor. “And also, move closer to me.” He pulled her towards him, resting his hand on the small of

Chapter 23 - An Intruder in the Midst

It seemed that Lianne’s words deeply affected the prince as he had not said another word to her as the evening got older. They both only sat on their seats silently and just observing the party throughout the night. When it was an hour past midnight, the guests one by one said their goodbyes and left the mansion along with Lord Cain and the other generals. King Garlow had also left too leaving Ruen and the princess alone at the royal table. The Duke was nowhere in sight and was thought to exit the mansion earlier. Considering that fact, Lianne began to doubt the prince’s words. She therefore concluded that it was really one of Ruen’s games of keeping her for his pleasure. There had been no advances during the ball from the Duke and that she had not received any summons from him to dance either. “Let me escort you to your room,” t

Chapter 24 - A Calming Embrace

“I had been waiting for you for quite some time now, my Princess,” Duke Conrad stated as he sat comfortably in a single sofa chair near the dressing mirror. His arms were both resting on its arm handle, his legs crossed, and his cane perfectly placed at the right side of the chair. He was snickering. His expression obviously that of an old man planning to harass a young maiden. His jaw was grossly unshaved that Lianne immediately noticed it more than she had seen him earlier. The Grand Duke’s eyes were coldly blue; a visible window of his tumultuous soul capable of wrath and terror similar to that of King Garlow. He was in his late fifties, definitely not proper to ask a hand in marriage to a woman half his age. Surely enough, the sight of the man in Lianne’s front gave her considerable unease. She clenched her hands into a fist, tryin

Chapter 25 - The Sickness of the Almighty

Lianne wasn’t comfortable staying in her new room. Half an hour after Prince Ruen left, she hastily went back to her own servant quarter only to her disappointment. She had found that it was already occupied by three male servants of the palace. It would seem that Garlow had made it sure she will not be able to go back to her old room, and because of it, she didn’t have any choice but to stay at the new chamber that night. Surely, on the morrow, she will be able to persuade Erza or the other servants to let them share their own rooms for her. Her first night inside the chamber however wasn’t as bad as she had thought to be, but it was a definite change of her comfort. The gown she had worn at the ball was hung at a nearby sofa chair. Truly, it was a beautiful dress. If not only for the man who gave it, she would have wanted to keep such a masterpiece. Now, she w

Chapter 26 - The Flight of a Princess

“Princess Lianne!” Erza exclaimed as she placed a hand on the princess’ shoulder. It was already late afternoon when she and the princess headed back to the mansion from the greenhouse. The sky was gloomy and it looked like it was about to rain. “Erza? Why are you looking so anxious?” Lianne replied, perplexed by the maid’s unusual behavior. “Uhm, princess, the Duke of Olga is here,” she voiced out as she stared with worry directly to the exit of the east garden’s rose bush. “What?” Lianne quickly exclaimed. Her senses began to numb as she saw the old man standing right at the exit of the garden a few meters away from them. She wanted to avoid him stat, but the fact that the Duke had already blocked the exit made it difficult. She hastily looked for oth

Chapter 27 - Come Back With Me

The earth was moist and foggy after a heavy rain that afternoon. Amidst hearing the servants’ precaution regarding the traps laid out by the King around the mansion, Princess Lianne didn’t give it much weight as she was too determined to escape. She knew that as long as she was inside the mansion, though she vehemently refused to be controlled all these years, she would never receive her rightful freedom. To flee was the only option. The track was downhill and rocky. The loosened soil in addition was threatening her pace of escape. There were large trees everywhere in sight and the moon’s radiance could only touch half of the forest floor. ‘Traps could be anywhere!’ she thought to herself, but the fear of it was naught compared to the terror she might face if she will be married to the old duke. Due to the haste of her flight out of the mansion, the only possession she h

Chapter 28 - A Feverish State

After Lianne expressed her feelings, she walked away, wanting to be as far away from the prince as possible, but with only just a few steps, the unthinkable happened. Ruen stretched his arms and speedily pushed her out of path. She hit the ground with a heavy crash, lying flat on the moist soil with her face almost kissing the ground. Though astonished as to his actions, Lianne quickly jumped to her feet and hissed in anger. She turned to face the prince, ready to start a battle of words. He must have been crazy to push her like that, but even so, he certainly deserved a good bashing from her. It was only a split of a second before she could react, however. When she realized what had happened, it was already too late. Ruen plummeted down from her very front as she stood shocked. His left hand looked numb and unusually flexed, while his other hand clutched a l

Chapter 29 - A Kiss To Heal

The prince woke up early morning on the fourth day with the defervescence of his fever. Present in the room was Sir Culdran, his doctor, and his assistant, Lady Faye, and two other maidservants taking out the used linens from his room. The exhausted doctor immediately approached the prince and checked on his status, then Lady Faye followed, bearing a welcoming smile upon seeing the prince awake at last. “Your Highness, good morning,” Lady Faye greeted softly. She bowed her head and waited for His Highness’ answer. “Lady Faye...good to see you,” Ruen replied, voice weak but with depth, “you look so tired.” Lady Faye smiled in response as he stated the obvious. “Your Highness, I am truly relieved that you are healing well with your injury. It has been days when you were unconscious.” &ld
