After what happened with Darius, I made sure that I did not go anywhere without a companion. Philip has been glued by my side ever since then. There were times that we coincidentally bump into Darius in hall ways but so far he didn’t do anything like the last time. ’Oh my! I would have never thought he would do such a thing to you.’ My mother said telepathically. Since Darius arrived in the palace, my mother and I were playing it safe just in case. She maintained her act even when I was in her quarters visiting her. ’I am not sure why he is so obsessed with me.’ I told her. ’It is because of our family’s act of intermarriage. They believe that our magic powers will lessen if our blood were to be mixed with people of not royalty.’ Mother sighed. ’Has he been coming here to visit you?’ I asked. ’Yes. Since he came back, he at least visits me once a day.’ Mother replied. ’Don’t worry, he didn’t do anything to me. He has been very respectful with every visit.’ I felt relieved
I was riding a carriage with Elsa and Camila to town. Looking outside, we have more knights guarding us as usual. These were the knights Prince Darius had ordered to guard and assist us on our trip to town.From the beginning of the trip, the inside of the carriage was silent. Being in an enclosed space with both Elsa and I was normal. But now we have Camila with us that made the atmosphere inside a little bit suffocating and awkward. "This will be the first time big sis Isabella and Camila will visit the town where the famous garment and jewelry shops are in the country." Elsa broke the silence midway of our trip. I smiled knowing that Elsa’s personality isn’t very used to being silent. "Yes, it is my first time." I smiled at Elsa. "I heard that the jewels in Geneva are more dazzling and exquisite, compared to the other countries."As I have known in my history lessons, Geneva is rich with minerals and valuable stones used for jewelry. It is because the mountain ranges of Geneva ar
"It is a pleasure for the princesses of the kingdom to visit my humble shop. My name is Maya, I am happy to be of service." Maya curtsied. "This is Kate my receptionist and Leila my assistant." Both of the girls who looked like sisters curtsied after Maya’s introduction. "How may I help you, your highnesses?" Maya asked. "I heard that this shop is the one that designs and makes my mother’s dresses." Elsa said. "Yes, I am the one that design and make the queen’s regular and formal attires." Maya said. "Then we would like to see your catalogs. I am planning to have my dress for my coming of age ceremony." Elsa said. "Can it be done in haste?" She asked politely. Lady Maya was in thought. "As I have heard your coming of age ceremony is just a few days away. This will be very hard." Maya said and Elsa looked sad with her words. "But I can make an exemption for your highness. But I am afraid I cannot make you a customized dress in such short time. If it is okay, you can select a dr
I followed the staircase down. It was not that far when I reached the end of the staircase and saw a door. I knocked on the door with respect. *knock knock knock*"Please come in." The voice of Duke Monroe was heard inside. I opened the door and saw a small room lighted up by a lamp. At the center of the room, were table and three chairs. Duke Monroe was seating on one when I saw him and on the other chair was Katherine, Duke Monroe’s daughter."Greetings your highness." Duke Monroe and Katherine said in unison as they stood up and bowed upon seeing me."Greetings to you too Duke Monroe." I curtsied in return."Please take a seat." Duke Monroe offered me one of the chairs and I took a seat. "I am sorry that we have to meet like this princess. With the crown prince return, he has his eyes glued on you and meeting you with many eyes watching would be difficult.""Yes, I understand duke." I said. "Then what would you like to tell me?" I asked curiously."The preparations of your escape
The male subordinate came closer to the duke and whispered to his ear. I see Duke Monroe nodding and then looked surprise. He waves to his subordinate to go and the subordinate left courteously.The duke looked at me with a serious face. "I have word from his majesty King Ragnar for you Princess Isabella."My face brightened up upon hearing Ragnar’s name. "Tell me, what did he say?" I said enthusiastically."His majesty King Ragnar is on his way here as we speak." Duke Monroe said. "With his group’s current pace, he will be here the day after Elsa’s coming of age ceremony."My eyes brightened with this information. ’My love is just a few days away from me. I will be able to see him once again.’ I thought to myself."I have sent word to his majesty. You can wait for him at a meeting place that is in a safe distance from here. Once you have successfully escaped, you and your group will hide there to wait for his majesty’s arrival." Duke Monroe said.I can feel great joy just knowing tha
After the whole ordeal in the Luis Vuitton Clothing Store was over, the two knights were quickly detained and sent back to the palace. We, on the other hand continued our shopping here in town."Big sis, are you really all right?" Elsa asked with a worried tone."Do not worry Sasa, I am fine. Nothing bad happened and those offenders have been quickly detained." I assured her with a smile. "I am sure your brother will give them the right punishment for offending a princess like me.""Hmph..." Camila scoffed. Both Sasa and I looked at her but she didn’t say anything after."I have already got all of your measurements. Rest assured that the dresses for the princess’ coming of age ceremony will be done and delivered as scheduled." Lady Maya said with a smile. "Is there anything else you need?" She asked."Oh, we are also here to look at jewels and accessories." Elsa said."There are many good jewelry and accessory stores in the plaza. Feel free to look over there. I am sure you would find
The dinner was eaten in peace, much to my relief. I heard from Darius that the knights from earlier that offended me were punished with fifty lashes of the whip each. It was said that Darius wanted to punish them with death but the high priest Haden opposed to it. Being that the knights were under the queen’s command, she is the only one to give a death penalty. So for now Darius gave them other harsh punishment.I was lying on bed but wasn’t able to sleep. I was thinking of the coming of age ceremony that will be held just a few days from now. We will be executing our escape plan at the same day as the ceremony is being held.I was also thinking about the information that Ragnar was coming to get me. I was excited to know that in just a few days time I will be seeing him once again.I heaved a sigh and sat up in my bed. Sleep won’t be coming anytime soon and so I stood up and got my robe and put it on. I walked towards the door and opened it.“Is something matter Isabella?" It was P
The day of Elsa’s coming of age ceremony had finally arrived. These past few days have passed without anything major happening.Camila and I had a long talk after the event that evening in the garden outside. I cannot say that we have been close but at least her antagonistic feeling towards me has been dissipated.Darius on the other has been pampering me since he came back. He didn’t kiss me again like the first time we met and I was thankful for that but his closeness towards me is quite uncomfortable. ’Nevertheless, I only have to endure this last day.’ I thought to myself.Yes this is the day that I can escape my captivity here in Geneva. Our plans will start tonight at the masquerade ball. I was still in my room lying on the bed and just woke up. The sun has just risen and it was still early in the morning."Good morning your highness." Mary came in my room. "You have woken up early." She said with a smile."Yes, good morning Mary." I replied with a smile. "Today is an importan
