Novel & Cerita Behind Her Highness's Smile Chapter 8

I remained silent, absorbing her wisdom. After a series of twists and turns, we arrived at a room filled with the hum of conversation. Eva turned to appraise me, assessing how well I'd absorbed her teachings. I stood tall, just as she had instructed earlier during the dressing session. My hands were clasped in front of me, a picture of the quintessential noblewoman. She smiled at me, and I was momentarily taken aback. Could she really smile? I wondered in disbelief. "You're ready," Eva declared, that enigmatic smile still gracing her features. I nodded, comprehending her unspoken encouragement. With a subtle signal, she directed the maids behind me and they, understanding her unspoken words,

Emily tittered with a smile spread across her face that made unease fill my belly. How could she sit there and smile after what the Alphas had done to me? And how could I have let myself fall for Anthony back then? Images of our passionate kiss filled my head and I felt my cheeks redden with embarrassment. How could I have offered myself up to him like some cheap whore?! “Well you can tell them I won't be joining,” I replied sharply, watching the smile fall from the girl’s face before I crossed my hands over my chest stubbornly. “Miss, I'd beg you to reconsider…no one has ever flaunted direct orders from their Highnesses…ever!” She rasped breathlessly and I felt my heart slam into my ribs wh

The glance at it makes him shiver. "I thought..it's not time for your Grandfather to die. it's not too late she hasn't bequeathed his treasures to you yet," Mommy replied to him. She lit a cigarette and blew it somewhere. Those who were looking at me blinked. Leaning back on the sofa she sat down and crossed her legs like a queen in her seat. "What do you mean?" I asked confused not to read the expression on its face. "You're the only heir aren't you?" She told me. While that seal she.

My uncle’s voice rose above the chaos: “She’s lying! She’s—” But no one listened. I turned slightly, letting him see the steady smile on my lips. “You can’t silence truth,” I murmured. Then I walked out into the night. The cool air hit me like freedom. The city glittered under the skyline, restless and alive — just like me. Mia caught up, breathless. “You actually did it,” she whispered. “You walked right into his kingdom and set it on fire.”

I tried to latch on to mother’s placating tone and her sweet words of reassurance; I remembered father’s firm conviction and my sister’s worried hovering. I shook my head. “You are lying.” The High Queen moved back, but not entirely from my personal space, her gown shuffling, and the sound hadn’t felt louder before. She caught my hand before I could retract them, her grip icy and firm. “Then why don’t you take a little trip down the memory lane.” ~~~~

“That too.” She walked past me then, silver hair brushing my arm. For a heartbeat, her fingers grazed mine. A spark. Familiar. Forgotten. Then she whispered, almost teasing— “Try smiling, Majesty.” And the world began again.

I inhaled greedily for more. “Please, Goddess!” My soul yearned for that scent to envelop me in its strong embrace, relieving my suffering. I mustered up some courage to open my eyes and tried to locate the source of that perfume. However, the sharp glowing bulbs right above my head forced me to close my eyes. I was blinking rapidly to adjust with the brightness when I heard a happy sigh. “She is back! Congratulations, Your Majesty. Her Highness is fine now.” What? Where exactly was I?

Smirking, she slithered up her long manicured finger on his chest. " Of course your highness." " Whatever you like to be called." " I am willing to do whatever you say. If only you ask me once....your highness " He looks down into her lust-filled eyes with his cold emotionless ones. His hands resting inside his pockets. " Where is it?" The smile drops from her lips as she rolls her eyes. Letting out an annoyed sigh, which may work as a tempting moan for other men. " Oh, come on your highness. Why in a hurry? "

Like he’d always been inside me. “I’m back,” he said in my head. My breath hitched, heart racing - not from fear. From fire. "Sorry for not giving you a heads-up." he apologized. "it's fine.” I mindlinked him back. She walked in, her golden dress trailing behind her like sunlight twisted into silk. Princess Lazhara, in all her entitled, glittering glory. Her maids flanked behind her like obedient ducklings, but she waved them off with a flick of her jeweled hand. They obeyed without a word, bowing before retreating.
