I'm so excited! Jeez. I'm sure you must have laughed or gotten annoyed or even started to like Rosaline... I almost want to like her too but what do you think though? Should I feel sorry for Rosaline and make her have the prince or...? Also is it just me or is Ariel really just dumb or does she just have a really good heart? At this point, I can't even tell. It's all confusing but I know who my favorite character is though... Anyway share your thoughts and thank you hunny bunny for the comments. Till next time. Yours faithfully

I rocked back and forth on my chair. As much as I tried to guess why, I couldn't come up with any sensible reason why the princess needed another dress for the ball. The Queen would never let such a thing happen. Something was suspicious and it killed me that I couldn't place my fingers on what. There was a knock on my door and then, it opened a crack. Sean stuck his head in. "My Prince, it's time." He said. I got on my feet and straightened out my clothes one last time. T was time to go do what I was best at– meeting people– only that today, I would be doing it together with the despicable princess. I looked at my reflection in the mirror and when I had confirmed as always that I was the finest man within many kilometers of the palace, I stepped out of my room. As this was an official duty, they were a small envoy standing outside my door. They bent low when they saw me and greeted me. "Let's go," I said firmly. I felt like a warrior marching on the battlefield. Our first

Asher whispered a joke to me and I laughed. I felt grateful for this moment. Standing here with Asher, hands on his shoulders, breathing the same air that he did, dancing with him, looking at him, sharing a drink, and sharing the fear of being caught. This was a dream come true for me. Even if it lasted only a moment, at least right now I was happy. "Do you want to go outside and watch the stars?" He asked. A slow waltz was now playing softly and he did not need to shout over the music to be heard. I contemplated his suggestion. It was indeed tempting. We could go to the garden or we could go up to the astronomy tower and peer out of the windows. But it was too dangerous. Being here with him was already too much of a risk. What if somebody ran into us? Even if we decided not to take off our masks, how would we explain that random strangers were strolling around the palace without permission? "I think it's best we stay here," I said. I knew I ought to be heading back to

I stared at Asher as he paced the room impatiently. "How on Earth did he find out, Roseline? It was a very simple plan." He said stopping in front of me. From how strained his voice was, I guessed he had been screaming his lungs out since the night before. I scowled. "A simple plan? Asher, I came up with that plan. Alone. You don't get to act like an investigator right now." I snapped. I was not in the best of moods today and the last thing I wanted to do was lose my temper. But I was so close to doing that now. If Asher needed to blame someone, then he could go in search of Xavier. "I simply what to know what happened. Ariel has refused to let me see her since last night and you're the only person I can ask." He said. Some of the anger in his voice had disappeared but the deep frown on his face told me that he was still boiling with rage inside. "I don't know, Asher. The last time I saw Ariel was yesterday night. Just before she went to see Prince Xavier." I said. As I ex

I looked out my window onto the surrounding palace grounds. I hated to be so bothered but I could not stop wondering if this was a terrible mistake. I desperately wanted to save my people, I wanted everyone to live without the fear of attack from rogue wolves, and I wanted a kingdom where there was no war and senseless killings. But at what cost? My happiness? I was not going to change my mind about the marriage, far from it. I was only imagining how I would live the rest of my life with a spiteful woman like Ariel. After the wedding, our parents would expect a child from us. But how was that supposed to happen? I could not imagine touching Ariel. We would probably end up fighting every night anyway. "You look like you saw a ghost," July said. She was seated in front of my mirror while Julius helped her brush her hair. Juliet on the other hand, lay on her belly reading a book on my bed. She had not uttered a word since she heard the news from our father. She liked Ariel for some
