And at that moment May was about to fall into the river, Liam reached down and grabbed her at the waist, pulling her up into the saddle with him. May who was just pulled into the saddle was stunned by the Third prince's sudden action and she stared at him with wide eyes. And as their eyes met, she momentarily forgot how to breathe as she kept staring into those mesmerising eyes of his that she found it really hard to avert her gaze from him. It was as if she was trapped in his gaze and there was no way out. Looking at him up close, she realised just how beautiful this man was, he was just too gorgeous, too beautiful to be true that she found it really unfair how this one man could look this perfect. She subconsciously clung tightly as he continue riding for a bit before halting the horse. She was transfixed as she looked intently at his face, giving him a questioning look on why he halted when he suddenly dumped her on the ground. Heh, such a heartless prince! "Ouch!" May immedia
[ Seventeen Years Ago ] In the King's large resting area, the royal families and the Princes' teacher, headteacher Ralph were gathered there. The young Princes and the Princess sat on the left hand side, headteacher Ralph sat at the right while the King and his wives sat at the center. The King's second concubine cuddled the little prince, Asher on her lap. Headteacher Ralph was here to give reports about the princes' study to the King. It was more like an annual report whereby the headteacher would give reports on the princes performance for that year whether they did well in their studies or not. On a norms, this annual report was only meant to be heard by the King but today, the King had instructed his children and his wives to be gathered to hear the report. Headteacher Ralph got up from his seat and stood at the center, he bowed at them and began to give report on their performance, he started with the First prince. "The First prince is a really good listener and he always
"Lady Audree, wake up. You do not want to be late on your second day as the Third prince's maidservant." Arin gently tapped May as she tried to wake her up. May opened her eyes and yawned but she frantically got up from the bed the moment she realised she had slept for long that she had totally forgotten about her plan to escape from the house at midnight. Now she would have to work as a maidservant again today. "Why did you sleep for so long?" She questioned herself. "There is no need to blame yourself, just go and take your bath." Arin said as she held May's hand to lead her to the bath pool but May pushed her back and said. "I am not going to that grand castle, let that heartless prince do his worse." She folded her arms as she had decided not to go to the grand castle. She was not going to suffer for a crime she did not commit. "Those people made me wash dirty dishes all day, only heaven knows what they are going to make me do today. No, I will not go to that place, let th
Liam looked at May a.k.a Audree who was trying her best not to raise her head to look at his face. She had just called him a heartless prick and yet she could not even look at his face. He moved even more closer to her but she quickly stepped back to avoid his gaze causing him to let out a loud sigh as he arched his brows in great displeasure. "Are you scared of me?" His deep voice made her raise her head to look at him but she quickly averted her gaze from him. "No." May simply replied then she walked away from where she was as she could not stand his piercing gaze on her. Why was he even staring at her making her uncomfortable? She did not see Liam's lips curved into a smirk the moment she walked away. "You have the nerve to walk away from your Master." Liam spoke as he slowly moved away from his spot. May sighed as she rolled her eyes, this Third prince was really a pain in the neck. "No, i wouldn't dare." May said as she forced a smile. "My boots over there." He pointed
Arin and Lennon watched as May slouched out from the grand castle looking extremely tired. Arin clicked her tongue as she shook her head, they must have really exhausted her Lady. May just waved at them as she entered into the carriage, the two also joined her and their journey back home began. "What did they make you do today? You look really exhausted." Arin asked as she looked at her Lady who had not said a word since she came out from the grand castle. "That heartless. . ." May pressed her lips together to stop herself from cussing at the prince. "The Third prince made me wash his clothes. I have never even washed my own clothes but he made me wash those stupid clothes of his and do you know the worst part of it all? He told me to rewash all the clothes saying that i did not wash them well and those maidservants could not even assist me. They are all wicked, i hate them all!" She whined as she explained everything that the Third prince made her do. She still did not understa
The day had finally gotten darker, night had come for May to execute her grand plan. She carefully put down the blanket she was tucked in and slowly climbed down from the bed creeping out of her chamber so as not to awake Arin who had fallen asleep while watching over her. As she came out from her chamber, she tiptoed to the living chamber walking quietly like a ghost so as not to alert anyone that she was about to run away. And when she successfully came out from the house, she heaved a sigh of relief but quickly went to hide the moment she saw her stepbrother and some guards smoking. Were they not supposed to be asleep by now? She asked herself as she watched them turn their back at her, their backs were now facing her, this was the time for her to run. Slowly and quietly, she crept out from her hiding place making sure that none of them noticed her presence and as she was sure she had gone far away from them, she took to her heels, running as fast as she could to get to Love brid
May let out a loud sigh as she stood at the gate of the grand castle. She was unable to go back to her world last night and now she had no other choice but to continue living as Audree. Why did her life become this way? She turned back and looked at Arin and Lennon who were waving at her and waiting for her to enter into the grand castle. She forced a smile as she waved back at them, she had nowhere to run to so they do not need to keep watching her but she was so sure if she told that to Arin, she would not believe her. Until she finds another way to go back to her world, she would keep acting her role as Audree and that also include withstanding the Third prince's punishments. She let out a low grunt as she thought of the Third prince then she shook her head and entered into the grand castle. As usual, Lauretta was standing in the same spot waiting for her. "Late again." She said when she saw May. "Follow me." She added and started walking. "You don't need to wait for me." May sa
Standing in front of a big building named as the big library, May finally heaved a sigh of relief. Thanks to that young man, she was finally able to get here. She entered the library and she was totally amazed at how large and elegant the library was. No wonder, it was called the big library because it really was big. She glanced at the myriads of books neatly and perfectly arranged on numerous ancient shelves and she could not help but wonder what all those books on the shelves were all about. She moved to a shelf and dropped the heavy load of books on the floor. Geez, her hands were already reddened all thanks to the Third prince. She began to place the books on the shelf even though she was not sure if she was putting them in their rightful places. She still could not stop thinking on why the Third prince had this much books in his resting area, he didn't look like a studious person. She shook her head as she could never understand that man. "The Third prince is just being the jer
