Chapter 15: MysteriousVishiea’s POVI pretended as if I was shocked and looked at him. “Your majesty, I believe we have resolved that issue. I am not Vishiea, but Anastasia. It’s quite disheartening that you have mistaken me for someone else.”This is funny. I’m starting to love his confused look. I’m aware that they will eventually discover the truth, but for now, I can’t resist toying with their emotions.He tightly sealed his lips and exhaled. “If that’s what you want. However, you can’t prevent me from thinking it’s truly you, Vishiea. I won’t give up until you eventually admit your identity,” he said while looking at me seriously.He seems to find this situation quite exciting, doesn’t he? But what if I’ll tell him the truth? Would everything change? Would he admit that he was wrong and feel remorse for betraying me? I highly doubt it. A man like him only knew how to value himself.“There’s nothing I need to admit, your majesty. If you’re questioning my identity. You can gather
Chapter 16: Treat Her WellVishiea's POVUpon our arrival at the palace, I noticed Rachelle standing at the front door. She was wearing a displeased expression and casting a stern gaze in my direction.Merely by observing her demeanour, I could sense her intense anger. She was clearly furious with me for being seen with her supposed 'fiancé.' I can't blame her for her reaction. I would react the same way if I were in her shoes.A mischievous smile played on my lips as I eagerly anticipated her response. Her gaze locked onto me, and she swiftly moved in our direction."Where have you been? And why are you with this woman?" she hissed, shooting me a harsh glare.“Relax," I responded while chuckling, "It's not my idea to go out with him." In the corner of my eye, I noticed him glance in my direction. I had no other option but to agree when he insisted on joining me for breakfast."I'm not speaking to you, so you know what," she yelled angrily. "Just shut up and walk away before I decide
Chapter 17: ThreatenedVishiea’s POV“Lady Anastasia, I’m leaving now. Are you all right here?” I stopped reading when I heard Cassie’s voice. She’s standing in front of me now. I smiled a little and nodded, “Yes, I’ll be fine. I’ll leave also after I read this,” I replied while showing the book in my hand.She nodded her head, “Great. I’ll see you around then,” I nodded once again. I watched her leave, and when she was gone, I continued reading. A smile formed on my lips when I finished reading the book. The ending is kind of interesting. I think there’s a book two or three.I carefully dropped the book on the table and yawned. I’ve been here for almost two hours now, and I’m starving. I stood up and decided to have my lunch. I guess I missed the luncheon time. So, I’ll be having my lunch meal alone.While walking in the hallway, I unexpectedly met Rachelle halfway. She’s glaring at me as if she wanted to kill me now. That’s scary, I joked. I remained silent and maintained composure.
Chapter 18: Sir Nathan Vishiea’s POV“Are you ready for the first night of the Blue Moon Festival?” I heard Yana say while we were walking in the hallway. I invited her to join me for breakfast outside earlier. She was a little hesitant, but I managed to convince her.“The first gathering will happen tonight, right?” she continued. Yes, she’s right. I almost forgot about that. I let out a sigh before talking.“Do I need to be ready?” She laughed at my answer. “Of course, my lady. Isn’t it the first time you’re attending the kingdom’s gathering?” She asked me. I chuckled, yes, She’s right.Although I have attended gatherings before, this one will be different because it will happen inside the main city of the kingdom. “I’m always ready, Yana,” she nodded. “I’m sure you are, my lady. Anyway, I heard that you and King went out for breakfast yesterday. And lad
Chapter 19: GatheringVishiea's POV“Your gown is ready, your grace,” I heard Yana informed me from behind. I looked around and nodded. Observing her with a black backless dress in hand, I couldn't help but ponder a daring plan. That gown is bound to pique his interest, and I'm eager to witness his reaction. I instructed Yana to place the dress atop my bed, and she nodded in agreement, promptly following my instructions."You may go and get some rest, Yana," I calmly relieved her of her duties. "I believe I can handle things from here. Thank you for your help tonight." She nodded, bowed, and bid farewell. A sigh escaped my lips as I heard the door close. Glancing at the wall clock, it was eight in the evening. I still had a few minutes to prepare before attending the inaugural Festival gathering.After applying my makeup and donning my dress, I cast one last contented look in the mirror, a satisfied smile gracing my lips. I was all set to leave. Upon exiting, I ensured my room's do
Chapter 20: Christian , Darius' CousinVishiea's POV“All rise!”I wanted to avert my gaze away from him, but I didn’t. Instead, I smiled sweetly. He was a little shocked at what I did, but he smiled back. I wonder what's going on inside his head now. Is he still thinking that I’m Vishiea?I saw Rachelle whisper something in his ear, obviously saying something to him, but he was clearly not listening because of me. I chuckled mentally. This is getting funnier. When she noticed his silence, her brow furrowed. Irritation is visible on her face. “The fuck are you looking at?” even if I’m far, I know that's what she said. Her face is screaming danger as she follows where he is looking at.And she became grumpier when she saw him actually looking at me. If looks can kill now, I’m probably dead.“Seriously, Darius?” she asked him angrily. That was the moment Darius stopped looking at me and faced her. “Seriously, what?” he asked innocently. I wanted to laugh, but I stopped myself. That'
Chapter 21: Mark My WordVishiea's POVBefore I could even get away, he pulled me back, causing my head to hit his chest. I gave him a sharp look. But he remained serious-looking.I tried to pull my hand away, but he only tightened his grip. "Let me go, your Majesty," he shook his head.What does he really need from me? I should be the one annoying him right now, but why is the opposite happening?Earlier, I planned to ruin their night. But, my night is the one that will be ruined. It's frustrating. But wait, I still have a choice. It's either I let him ruin my night, or I ruin their night.I reached for my hand once more, and I succeeded. He let me go. I heard him sigh, so I looked up. He looked so lost and confused. I had an idea why he was puzzled now. He probably still feels our bond, just as I do right now.Later on, his expression changed. Confusion was replaced by amusement. He smirked and moved even closer to me."Tell me, Lady Anastasia, what are your thoughts about my crazy
Chapter 22: Do you like him?Vishiea’s POV“Really? She’s the king’s former mate. I see. May I know what happened back then? Why she’s banned here?” I asked even if I already knew the answer.She shrugged and resumed eating her food, “I don’t know what exactly the reason is. But I think it is because she’s the rebel’s only child. And to hide what his son did,” she answered.She’s right; the king banned me because he wanted to cover his son’s betrayal. And also, I’m starting to think if the king had something to do with my parent’s death.I will investigate as soon as possible. But wait, rebel’s only child? My father is not a rebel; they framed him. I wanted to correct her, but I chose silence.“To hide the king’s betrayal,” I repeated as I nodded. That makes sense, but I think even if they didn’t ban me a couple of years before. I can’t do anything against him.I mean, my father and mother died, and I was left alone, powerless and broken. I closed my eyes and nodded again. I don’t wan
