I woke up in the middle of the night. It was our second night sleeping out in the woods ever since we left the kingdom of Vertez and I'm still not getting used to the loud snoring of the twins. Like seriously, can't they sleep peacefully?It's bad enough that they are loud when they are awake and now I can't get any proper sleep!!I sat up and glared at the twins through the fire before looking bitterly at Nate, who doesn't seem to mind the noise and was sleeping peacefully. Well if you count sleeping like a model who was pursing his lips and smiling creepily. I'd say he was having a good dream.I was getting tired from being deprived of my entry to dreamland that I picked up a stick and was thinking of hurling it at the twins when I heard someone cough. I looked to my other side and saw PRINCE Ace sitting on the gr

I reached out and steadied him. "Nate? Nate! What happened?!" I asked worried as I held him close. I placed my ear to his chest and tried to listen to his pulse. It was still steady and strong."I-I-" He broke off."What is it, Nate?" I urged him to continue as I feared for his life. He reeks of blood and I kept thinking where his wounds could be. Nate started to mumble something that I could hear. "What?" I asked. My voice almost broke.I heard him taking in a deep breath. "I said you smell so good. Can't we stay like this forever?"It took me a while to process things, but finally I got to my senses. I kicked him at the groin making him lose his grip on me before I slammed the door to his face and glared at it.That bastard

"I'm sorry, Princess Rose.""Sorry, Rose."The king and Dan apologized to me the next day. We were outside of the castle and ready to leave when Ren decided to burst out and scolded both his father and brother for locking us up in a room.It turns out no one knew about it until now. The queen and Nate were shocked while Ace seemed expressionless as always.The queen seemed furious at her husband and son that she asked them to apologize to us - she even pinched their ears when they refused."What about me?" Asked Ren when he realized that the king and Dan were only apologizing to me. The king and Dan only looked at Ren with a blanked face."Oh,

His voice....his voice sounded so foreign in my ears. It was hard and threatening and I could not understand the feeling that I am having right now; fear or relief?When the man didn't make a move in releasing me, Fred's face hardened and, using his other hand, placed it on top of the man's wrist. I heard him mumble a few words and a second later, the man was screaming in pain and I was freed from his grip.I saw smoke coming from the area where Fred had touched him. My eyes widened when I saw the burned mark on his wrist. The skin on his wrist was red and I could see a few areas spotted in black. It was a sickening sight.Fred must have seen the look of horror on my face because he immediately drew me towards him and shielding me from the sight. He started rubbing my back to calm me down as I gripped on his shirt t

Once the maid was gone did I head to bed, but not before I changed out of my robe and into my nightgown. I sighed and placed the robe on the side table only for it to vanish. I blink in surprise.I know I am a place filled with magic, but a vanishing robe is still hard to take in.I climbed onto my bed and rested my head on the pillow even though I wasn't that tired. Once I did, the lights seemed to grow dimmer in the room that I am guessing in also one of the works of magic. Is it me or is time room alive? It must have thought that it was bedtime for me as soon as I lay down on the bed – that or it wants me to go to sleep.Either way, I don't mind. Sleep sounds pretty good for me. Only problem is, I can't. Millions of thoughts swirled inside my head that it was impossible for me to sleep.
