Behind Her Highness's Smile Chapter 8 Novels & Stories

I stagger a step back but the loud cheers bring me back to my senses. “ His Highness has arrived. ” A girl screams in excitement, her voice shrill and disturbing. My breath hitches, and I find myself becoming a stone statue as my head turns in the direction of the stairs. He is not here yet. But he is coming. Now the mission [Changing Fate for the Alpha King] is on. I open the bottle and down the liquid, as others stare in the direction of the stairs, like me. The lights in the Grand Hall suddenly become brighter as the bitter liquid burns down my throat.

I decided to eat later in day, if I want to meet His Majesty again, I atleast need to survive so I ate to my satisfaction. I set to go see Her Highness, so I dressed up and used makeup to cover my pale face. I went into her courtyard and noticed a few noble ladies with her, Agatha especially was sitting beside,blabbering and cracking jokes, probably trying to make her laugh, but she was quiet and numb to everything, she looked lifeless and as white as sheet. Everyone turned to me when I entered. I moved towards Her Highness and bowed,I sat down looking at her but her eyes were listless.

"I am so excited; we are at the last phase of Highschool. Yaaaayyy!" Athena squeals, dancing on the hallway. Ares and I burst into short laughs, rolling our eyes "Drama Queen." It has been a moon since grandmother's death and countless news of Glinda and Helios as mates in the kingdom. I heard also, that she had been crowned a princess and will be joining us in Showek's college despite her abrupt stop to schooling. Royal privileges. Duh.

well, let's see what game this organizer is trying to play here. What can I say, I love playing dangerous games! Yay!! "Your highness?" she called again. "I'll go with the milk" I said and reached for the glass of milk. She smiled at me. I was expecting she'd leave immediately I choose the milk but she didn't, rather she nodded at the milk, urging me to drink up. "You want to watch me finish it?" I asked. "Yes, it's a great honor to see the queen of all supernatural creatures and I wanted to do something special for you that you'd never forget.. "

A delicate golden crown was nestled into her thick black hair, which cascaded down her back and shoulders in loose, shiny waves. She looked up at us and smiled. I followed Nolan’s lead and walked behind him over to the queen. He offered her a small bow and greeted her curtly. He stepped aside and gave me a nod. I bowed. “Your Highness,” I said in as polite a tone as possible. “It’s an honor.” She paused for an uncomfortably long time. I wasn’t sure if I was supposed to stay bowed with my eyes on the floor. I decided to risk it and just step back.

Though I don't want to be evil, I won't condone anyone bullying me because of my kindness again. "Thank you, Your Highness. I look forward to serving you!" she said, finally smiling. My brother was amazed at her sudden change of reaction. "I'm a bit offended. You acted like I was going to chew you up when I brought you in earlier, but now you are smiling at my sister? Why won't you smile at me?" "What? Your Highness, that's not what I meant..." She was already speaking out of fear, so I intervened. I turned to him. "Are you actually jealous right now?"

Her emerald eyes were fixed entirely on me—no longer cold and patronizing, but sharp, calculating, and filled with a dark, sudden unease. ​I slowly turned my back on her, on her cruel court, and on the whispers of the crowd. ​I lifted the heavy skirts of my mother's midnight-blue dress into my hands, setting my feet onto the first marble step and following the Captain of the Guard up the grand staircase. ​Behind me, as I reached the top of the landing, I heard the faint, bewildered whisper of a noblewoman echo across the quiet courtyard: ​"Why on earth is the High Alpha's personal imperial guard personally escorting her?"

I just nodded, clueless of what she’s talking about. “Well, then that goddess is here in front of you.” Then a huge amount of water covered her. Wait, what?! End of Chapter 3

I slept here so she won't fall and bumped her head here in case I won't wake up in time. _______ KircheLeaf Arc 1: Enchantrix Race! _______ ~END of CHAPTER EIGHT~

It wasn't enough to light up the entire room but I could see what I needed to see. I scanned the room once more before deciding that it wasn't occupied at the moment. I rushed in and at the speed of light, cleaned the table and ran out. Completely unaware of the watchful eyes that was set on me the entire time. ############################ And that was chapter 8!!! Do u like the Princess Esmeralda?
