“Eliza?”  Eliza turned around and quickly went to Maddie’s side. She immediately noticed the hesitation in her face so she tried to stay more focused to tend her needs.  “Is there any way that I can communicate with Arthur?” Eliza was surprised with Maddie’s request that she wasn’t able to respond immediately. She stuttered as she was trying to come up with an answer but there was none.  Maddie sighed before smiling at Eliza. She was disappointed at herself for not being able to give Maddie an answer. Eliza quickly kneeled and bowed to the floor which surprised Maddie. She tried to help Eliza to stand but she remained bowing to her.  “I am a futile

Theo stopped talking when he heard an indistinct singing voice. Jonah and the other high-ranking soldiers stopped as well as they saw the confusion on their leader’s face. He hushed them although they were already silent. He stood while still trying to listen to the voice but it already stopped.    “The celebration is tomorrow.” Troubled, Theo faced Jonah and he quickly went in front of him. “But are there any guests who have arrived already?”    “No guests have passed the gates but I will have my men to check the whole place.” Jonah nodded at Philip and he quickly went out but it didn’t assure Theo.    “Something is not right.” Theo hissed before going out of the room with Jonah tailing him.   

“I somehow miss being treated like a princess.” Maddie mutters while Eliza is combing her hair. It made the little girl chuckle which caused Maddie to blush. “It’s really you who I missed, Eliza.” She glanced at her but Eliza just kept brushing Maddie’s hair.  “I’m telling the truth.” Maddie faced her totally so Eliza chuckled again.  “Is it really me who you missed or is it the great Theo?” Eliza has a playful smile on her lips which causes Maddie to blush hard.  Her heart pounded hard against her chest and all she could do was avert her eyes. She suddenly stood to avoid getting teased by Eliza and the latter just decided to stop already. Maddie went to the balcony and the sight of the lake mad

Flora couldn’t hide her smile while treating Maddie’s wrist. She couldn’t believe that she had finally met the woman who owns the heart of the great Theo. The other gods and goddesses are waiting for their turn as they silently stand around her and it only makes Maddie more conscious.  “Although we only meet when I heal you, it is still an honor.” Flora nervously chuckled  which caused Maddie to smile shyly. Arthur is just standing beside her as if he is her loyal guard.  “Thank you.” Flora’s smile widened but it quickly disappeared when Arthur pulled Maddie away from her.  He held her shoulders and guided her towards the tables. Maddie just let Arthur as she feels exhausted already. She’s not certain

Maddie finished her milk bath then wore the clothes Eliza prepared. After that, she started drying Maddie’s hair. She feels extra special today because Theo said that they will go somewhere special. Maddie’s first thought was that he will introduce her to his parents but Eliza mentioned that the former rulers were far gone. That left Maddie anxious yet excited. She keeps on thinking of the possible places they can go to and given the majestic place, everything is special.  Given what happened the other night, Maddie felt differently about Theo. She knows it’s still far from love but he is making her little heart pound. She unconsciously smiled when she remembered how they danced in the most comfortable silence she had ever experienced. Maddie felt so warm, so safe after a long time that she almost forgot everything cruel she’d been through. &nb
