Aria"I said that this was the real reason why I brought Princess Thaisa into the palace." Aria frowns at the mention of Princess Thaisa's name. "I thought the reason you brought her in was to torment me?" Prince Zane smiled at Aria's words, "That was part of it, but not everything is about you Lady Aria. I was also trying to look for the one who wanted my father dead. I know of King Edward's ambition for the throne, I thought that if I could give him a chance to get closer to my father, he was going to make a mistake and try something stupid.""Well, he did make a stupid mistake," Aria said, remembering when she almost shot the man with a poisoned arrow."That was because a certain Lady pushed him too far by attacking his only daughter."Aria shrugs at Prince Zane. "so the mistake he made wasn't the one you were expecting."Prince Zane nodded. "What did that witch tell you about the pendant she gave to you? I know that you have told me before, but I also know you left some part of
Aria"why does she look like she is going to rip my book?" lady Brunhilda asked Erika as she eyed the book Aria was holding with a strong grip.Erika gave Lady Brunhilda a carefree shrug. "My Lady woke up on the wrong side of the bed today, she had been grumpy all morning." even though Aria could hear Erika and Brunhilda's conversation, she couldn't care less. Aria felt like there was a bigger issue or rather an annoying person she couldn't get rid of."It's sad that Lady Aria is having a bad day. but to hold a book that contains the history of Esterial kingdom like that feels disrespectful." Erika gave out an exhausted sigh as though she was tired of her Lady. She understood what Lady Brunhilda met by her words. "if only Lady Aria would listen to you if you tell her that, although I'm sure that she can hear us.""Did she fight with the man she been leaving me for?" Lady Brunhilda asks. "no, she didn't. things between the both of them are still good." Erika said. "still good eh?"
Aria"you didn't wait outside like last time," Prince Zane said to Aria who sat down in the same spot she sat on the other day. Aria was already regretting her decision. After she had given herself, so much scolding, somehow her legs still found their way to the front of Prince Zane's office once again. at this point, Aria didn't know if she was possessed. "I can leave if you want. I understand it if you are busy." Aria said, nonchalantly. a part of her wanted him to say that he was busy. that way she has the opportunity to right her wrong and run away. but another part of her wanted to leave with him. "no. I'm done." Prince Zane stood up. Aidan arranges his things, without stating any complaints like last time. "Good night your Highness." Aidan and Nadia said in unison, as Prince Zane exited his office with Aria. "you know for the first time I was wrong about something." Prince Zane said."What?" Aria asked as she walked by his side, it felt good to hear his voice again. even t
Aria"you shouldn't let yourself get too close to me." Prince Zane said, his voice sounding like a warning. his words were the same words Aria had been trying to tell herself all day but her heart wouldn't listen. 'does he know that I like him.' Aria thought to herself. she tried to catch a glimpse of Prince Zane but she couldn't see him properly while lying down on the floor. perhaps things were better this way, Aria wasn't sure if she wanted to know what he was thinking. his words were already sounding like a rejection even though She hadn't made her feelings open to him. She was probably never going to tell him. "Are you saying this because I escorted you to the room today?" Aria asked, hearing herself she felt embarrassed by her own words. "Remember you said that you would let me hang around you." Aria tried to use what he had said the other night about them being friends as a cover-up. "I remembered what I said, but now I think it was a mistake." Aria turned her head, which
AriaAria couldn't care one bit about what Lady Brunhilda was trying to explain to her. she kept thinking about Prince Zane and the harsh words he said to her. he met it when he told her to stay away from him. Was Aria going to force herself on someone who didn't want her? what was the need to try hard to get close to him when all he wanted was to push her away? again and again. Aria was frustrated with all the questions inside of her. it was not like she wanted to be with a man like Prince Zane. if only she could feel her wolf, her wolf would have encouraged her and probably called her stupid for falling for a man who killed their mate. "any questions lady Aria," lady Brunhilda asks, "anything at all you don't understand." "yes." Aria said, not entirely sure of what she was about to say. "although the question I have is not relating to what you just taught." lady Brunhilda nodded in understanding. Aria could see the slight annoyance she was trying to hide as she said, "Go ahead
Aria'I am not supposed to be here.' Aria thought as she got closer to Prince Zane's office. 'but I can't listen to him, I don't want to listen to him.' "I'm sorry Lady Aria but I can't let you in," Nadia said. she stood in front of the doors, her hands crossed around her. a stern look on her face. even though she apologized for her words, Aria could see that she wasn't sorry at all. "get out of my way," Aria said stubbornly, even though she knew that it was Prince Zane's orders. He was determined to push her away from him no matter what. If it meant using brute force, Nadia was the sort of person who would enjoy beating Aria up. "you have no right to stop me." Aria tried pushing her way in. but her way human strength was no match for Nadia who easily pushed her away as though she was pushing a little child. "Prince Zane gave specific orders that he didn't want to be disturbed by anyone tonight, no one is allowed, not even you lady Aria," Nadia said.Aria felt angry with the happi
AriaAlthough Aria was able to make Prince Zane follow her back to the room by being persistent. Prince Zane still ignored her and kept his distance from her. while they walked together to the room, he made sure that his walking pace was faster than hers to the point where Aria couldn't keep up with his movement.Unlike before when he slept close to the side of the bed where she was, this time around, he kept his distance from Aria by sleeping far away from her. Aria wanted to move her makeshift bed to the other side of the bed where he was, just so that she could show him that she wasn't going to take any of his attitude. but she didn't. to her, there was no point in it.he was already angry with her because she refused to leave him alone. if she continued to push too hard, she might push him away forever. and Aria knows that he is capable of hiding himself from her in a place where she could never find him. 'what do I say.' Aria thought. She wanted to try and make a little conver
AriaAria was afraid to open her eyes. She woke up in Prince Zane's arms. it felt like the sort of dream she always stopped herself from having because she wanted to be able to control her feelings for Prince Zane.Prince Zane was awake. Aria could feel his soft breath close to her face. his thumb softly rubbing her skin, as though it was a natural habit. "I know you are awake." Prince Zane said softly. Aria didn't know what to say as she looked into his blind gaze. things felt different between them, but Aria couldn't risk her heart to guess how different things had become. "Can you see me?" Aria asked, wondering if her question was okay. what if he wanted to forget about last night and pretend like nothing happened? Prince Zane moves his blind gaze toward the light that is already fighting its way through the curtain. Aria didn't realize how long she had been asleep until her eyes followed him. how was it that he was still with her? The prince Zane she knew, would have rushed of
