Arin drew the curtain opened as the sun shone around the chamber revealing daylight. She turned and looked at her Lady who was still sleeping, she ought to have woken up by now especially when the third prince had punished her to work as his maidservant for seven days. She could not even protest because it was much better than being flogged hundred strokes of cane. That princess Ingrid was really mean, she knew that she had never liked Lady Audree but still, how could she suggest that her Lady should be flogged? Thank goodness, the third prince stepped in and showed her mercy which was unlike him. She had always known him to be the King of no mercy, that was what he was known for in the entire kingdom. Well, he did not exactly show her Lady mercy but at least he still prevented her from being flogged. "Lady Audree, it is time for you to wake up." Arin gently tapped May as she tried to wake her up. May yawned and stretched at the same time, she could not remember the last time she
"Hallelujah!" She didn't even know when she exclaimed loudly causing Arin and her new bodyguard to be startled. She could finally leave this kingdom, she could finally leave this strange land! 'Oh, ye Love bridge, here i come.' She thought as her lips curved into a smirk and as she was about to climb down from the carriage, Arin stopped her. "Where are you going?" She asked then she looked outside and realised they had gotten to the grand castle. "We are already in front of the grand castle, let's come down." May felt like she had just been pulled down from the clouds of excitement. Why now? Why did they reach the grand castle when she had finally found a way to go back? She climbed down from the carriage as she turned back to see her Love bridge. "It's time for you to enter the grand castle, my lady." Arin informed her. May furrowed her brows as she noticed these two were not coming with her into the grand castle. "Are you two not coming with me to the grand castle?" "I doubt
Gavin, Hadriel and Asher came out from their study chamber as they heaved a sigh of relief that they finally got to leave the boring class. They really did not like studying but they just have to because it was one of the duties of a prince. A prince must be knowledgeable and perfect in everything he does, that was the standard created for them and they were seriously finding it difficult to keep up with that standard. "Do we always have to attend lessons?" Asher whined as he especially did not like attending those boring classes when he always end up sleeping in class as he didn't understand what the teachers teach. "Let's skip class next time." Gavin suggested. "I'm sure the old man is already tired of seeing our faces since we keep repeating his class." He nonchalantly added causing Asher and Hadriel to laugh at what he had just said. And as they kept walking, they saw May a.k.a Audree heading towards their direction and they did not know why they momentarily halted when they
It was evening already. Arin and Lennon climbed down from the carriage as they waited for May a.k.a Audree to come out from the grand castle. May came out from the grand castle looking so exhausted. The head maidservant had made sure she washed dirty dishes all day without resting. Her legs were weak and her neck felt stiff from standing while washing those dirty dishes. How dare her treat a top star that way? She held her neck as she whimpered in pain. "Lady Audree!" Arin called but immediately frowned when she saw her Lady holding her neck as though she was in pain, she ran to her. "What is it? Why is your ear so red?" Arin asked in a worried manner as she touched May's ear. "Is it not that mean head maidservant, she dragged my ear." May whined like a baby as she reported the head maidservant to Arin. "That mean head maidservant, how dare her drag my Lady's ear? Don't worry, when we get home, I'll massage your body for you. Come, let's go home." Arin held her waist as she le
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
