Scarlett's point of view...I was led ahead towards the royal court by the soldiers as if I were some criminal. Tied behind the carriage. I wondered if miracles could happen and as of moon goddess had heard my pleas, the carriage stopped right before I was losing myself.As I stood there, apprehension gripping me tightly as the royal guards closed in, the young man got down from the carriage with a child I had rescued. The little boy spoke up with a trembling voice.With tears welling up in his eyes, the kid said, "Mammaa..." Ugh...! That way of calling, again...!"She rescued me, Father!" "Mamma protected me from the big fat wolves!" the kid finally spoke in a cute voice. Even though the words were a little clunky, they were understandable.The young man who was holding the kid was actually the crown prince of Youvoka kingdom. I stared at them blankly. But his expression softening with realization, approached me swiftly. He put his son down and knelt down beside him, his eyes no
Scarlett's point of view..."This pill consists of a rare herb ingredient which we can trace out" Rona stated immediately. It was like a hope in the darkness. "Which rare herb?""Red crust bloomer flower!" he was excited as if he had decoded the entire web, "It is the rarest flower that is rumoured to be found only in the peeks of Seven sisters mountain and it blooms only on the full moon day" My eyes lit up. "Seven sisters mountains...! Isn't it the mountains chain in the outskirts of Youvoka?" He nodded, "Yes, and we can find him from there and through him we can definitely get something about the eldest goddess" A rush of relief poured over me. I can finally find Catherine...!I was so happy at that moment. All we need to do is to wait for the full moon day to come.The next few days we continued with our routine, practising the martial arts and helping those in need until one day when we were startled by an uninvited visitor.I was so surprised when I saw a young girl standin
Scarlett's point of view...Lost in thoughts, I turned around only to see Rona standing just behind me, gazing at me bewildered. Truly speaking, I was trying to see through his mood and he gave off the impression that, should I fail to clear up his uncertainty, he would definitely seek down Edward and face him. Considering that it wasn't a good idea, I spoke out right away to stop that from happening. "Don't worry, Rona," I hurried to him, "I am going to decline his proposal no matter what." I reasoned, "I will talk to Alina about it as soon as possible, and I am sure she will help me with this," I clearly assumed that he would be supportive. However, what he did next took me by surprise.He walked over to me and grabbed my shoulders,"Do you have feelings for that Prince, Goddess?" he asked in a serious tone then immediately pulled himself back."I mean, goddess, if you do have some feelings for him, it is a good thing. I would be relieved to see you getting married to a better pe
Author's point of view..."It's not easy to be a Princess" Alina's low voice caught Scarlett's attention at once. She couldn't help but pour out her mind,"What did you say? What makes you, a princess, talk in such a manner? Alina, did something happen?" Scarlett's thoughts were full of worries. Alina had not visited her in a few days, and Scarlett could tell she was upset. Alina sighed as her eyes welled up with tears before turning to face her and answering."Royal children lack authority over their own life." "Especially princesses." Alina chuckled bitterly while replying down-heartedly, "Isn't it pathetic...?" "Why would you say that?" Scarlett said, narrowing her brows as she took Alina's hand. An elaborate explanation was provided by Alina.She was forced into a political marriage when Alina's father, the king of Youvoka, promised her hand in marriage to the prince of a neighbouring state. Though political marriages are not something prohibited, usually princesses were not ask
Author's point of view..."What...Are you not going to give it a try? So will you marry that monster instead?" Sandy's provoked Alina and it did work. Alina instantly smacked herself back out of the trance and said,"Then, will you help me do that? And what condition or favour were you talking about?" Sandy smirked ironically before looking at Scarlett. "Why should I? Isn't giving you this thing already a great favour?"Alina frowned, the girl before her was just blabbering, she wasn't here to help her."If you are just for talks, then don't bother coming here again" Alina was pissed off by the rude behaviour Sandy but Sandy immediately gave in."No...listen to me, I didn't mean that I won't help you, but you know clearly that the security in the palace has increased dramatically these days. If we go there, they will easily recognize us, and there is a chance of getting caught" Sandy paused and Alina stared at nothingness nodding her head in agreement, in deep thought. Sandy smiled
Adrian's point of view...We eventually arrived at the Youvoka Kingdom's outskirts after four days of journey. I only had a straightforward visit planned, but Dad went to great lengths to set up the ministers and royal escort to follow me. It was all exaggerated as if I was here for a wedding.If I had just gone off by myself without telling anyone, it would have been less problematic. I regret accepting the invitation formally.After reaching the outskirts I was more excited than tired. I informed Aiden via mind link to meet me at the resting place and awaited his arrival, though I didn't share any of my plans with him.Because if I did, he wouldn't show up for sure.It took him a few hours to reach us on the outskirts of Youvoka kingdom. I can see his panic. Aiden ran here swiftly, his expression a mix of concern and curiosity. "What's going on, Adrian?" Aiden asked as he shifted back to his human form, glancing around the secluded area where we had arranged to meet.I quickly ex
Adrian's point of view...Based on Rock's behaviour, a strange feeling engulfed my heart.Is she here?If she is here, then this banquet might be the solution to all my unsolved puzzles. But still, I feel slightly hesitant to see that little girl again.Just what kind of connection is this?How could I be connected to a little girl? Why would I be so restless to see her?Just why?As I was struggling with my own turmoil, I didn't even notice when I rode towards the palace already.These small kingdoms were situated in the middle of forests and had nothing like the city. I couldn't use my phone either to inform Aiden. Only mind links will do. But surprisingly, my mind couldn't link up with him right now. Every time I try to send him a message, I find it difficult as if I wasn't concentrated enough. Each time I end up sensing the presence of that girl instead. Why!!Riding swiftly towards the palace, I navigated through a silent forest, my mind racing with questions and uncertainties.
Author's point of view..."Sandy, just get in here with that thing and go to the third Chamber and serve the crown prince well" Williams's mind linked Sandy once he had arranged everything."Remember the thing I told you, don't you dare mess up or you and I, along with our whole family will be chopped up by that crown prince" Sandy clenched her fist on her dress and her whole body trembled, turning crimson. It was not fear or humiliation that made Sandy flush, it was rage. She has been crushing on the Prince of Youvoka kingdom, Edward for quite a few years yet her brother schemed her to sleep with a stranger just to bag some political benefits.Outrageous...! It was unbelievable to her.Being a lady from the prime minister's mansion, Sandy never lacked anything but as the saying goes, the more you get the more you pay, she was now forced to do something against her will."What kind of brother would ask his sister to sleep with a stranger without a marriage...he is insane..." Sandy
