Aria pov. "You are awake my lady," Erika said. "Good morning Erika." "It's Afternoon my lady, once again, you overslept." I have been taking things easy ever since my encounter with prince Zane, well I have actually been waiting for him to actually do something to me, maybe invite me for another embarrassing dinner or something. So far, he hasn't do anything, he haven't called for me. There have been nothing, absolutely nothing. It could be that prince Zane was truly a kind man like everyone said, all this while I have been the one who misunderstood him. I have been all over his business, while he gave me enough time to myself, inoder to live my life peacefully in Esterial. No pressure on my engagement with him, maybe he knew that i was force."Have you heard anything from prince Zane?" I asked Erika. She gave me a weird knowing smiled. What was that about?"My lady are you that worried about him?" Her elbow rested on my clothes that have already been folded neatly in front of
Aria pov.Ever since lady Brunhilda got hold of the news that I was now staying in prince Zane room, she brought out some old historical books about the kingdom and made me read them. Her reasons for not giving me those books ever since, was because she thought that prince Zane was still going to reject me someday, but now with the way things were going, prince Zane wasn't going to reject me. I wish they all knew that their beloved prince makes me sleep on the floor every night, with nothing but one comfortable pillow that actually helps in putting me to sleep. It was really annoying, I wish the pillow was uncomfortable, whenever I use it I become possessed with some kind of sleep spell. In the morning when Erika would come into the room to get me ready for the day I would find myself on the bed with prince Zane gone. How could I make anyone believe that I was actually suffering when it looks like I was living the life. I wish prince Zane would just reject me, at least then king Kaid
Aria pov"I'm waiting, explain yourself." Prince Zane was sitting on a large couch in the room, the way the couch has been created, it look like a throne, perfect for intimating girls like me for information. Had this couch been here the first time I sneak into prince Zane room, or did he create it recently just so that he could make me feel intimated. His blind gaze was staring at nowhere in particular, he looks like he didn't care about what just happened but his voice, words where all different from his action and the way he present himself. Somehow even though prince Zane couldn't see he could still get those silvers eyes to be directed straight at me. How does he even know how to do that? I peered up at Aidan, he was standing behind me, guarding the door, making sure there was no escape for me. Nadia was standing by the prince side, her hand folded around her chest, waiting for any order the prince wishes to give to her. Incase i was going to disobeyed him again. "It wasn't my
Aria povI was at the upper floor of the palace, only the prince and the king could give anyone special permission to be up here. The only reason I came here, was because king Kaida summoned me. I have finally been summoned by that old man after he had brought me here and practically dump me afterwards. Because of him I almost died just the other day, okay maybe that was because of me and my mouth. Still I wouldn't be in any of this situation if it wasn't for king Kaida. Immediately the king special guards saw me approaching the door, they made an announcement by calling out my name, identifying that the prince fiance was here, afterwards the door was opened for me to come in."King Kaida." I paid my respect. King Kaida was lazily laying down on a long couch, the weight of his Kingdom was heavily upon him. His eyes were close with one of his arm over it. With his other arm he suggested that I sat down. I took my time to examine king Kaida special room. Erika, who had given me the di
Aria pov"Are you done reading those books I gave to you?" Lady Brunhilda asked. Right now I didn't know if I should be grateful that my dance lessons, together with my lessons on proper manners as the prince fiance, was exchange for this. Reading books about what I didn't care about, was something I did back in my school days. Highschool was torture, but it was a bit tolerable because back then my favorite people were always with me. College wasn't fun either. School system are mess up, lady Brunhilda was starting to make me feel like we should go back to dance lessons, atleast that doesn't make my brain hurt. "I'm not done, yet." If only I could lie that I was done and move on with my life, the last time I did that, lady Brunhilda asked questions from the book. And yeah, I couldn't even answer one. She said that she was ashamed of me, I was getting married to the prince Zane when I knew nothing their history and traditions. Lady Brunhilda was determined to make sure I don't end up
Aria povSo here i was sitting with prince Zane. Honestly, still don't know how I ended up here. All I knew was that I got an invitation through my maid Erika, who had told me the news excitedly. Instead of my usual boring routine with lady Brunhilda, i ended up learning how to properly behaved in a royal court filled with nobles from the outer court. And somehow I ended here. There wasn't enough time for lady Brunhilda to teach me what was needed of me, instead she gave me one advice, it was an advice I could say Brunhilda was sincere about, even though she could easily put horrible dust on my face, it turns out she sincerely cared for me. Her advice were simple, say nothing, follow prince Zane lead. If I wasn't careful enough, I would be used by the nobles. They could manipulate me into saying yes to a scheme they are trying to force on prince Zane. I was already been use by king Kaida. I had no interest in becoming everybody rag doll."My prince we are grateful that you agreed to
Aria povI was still angry with all that had happened with the nobles from the outer court. Didn't fully know who I was angry at. Was it the prince? The nobles? Or the damn king for locking himself up, refusing to attend to his people. A king wasn't supposed to be this reckless, prince Zane was taking each blow of his father recklessness without complains. I guess he really is a good son, I could give him credit for that. Prince Zane didn't come to back to his room for the rest of the day. It was as he knew that i was waiting for him. I wanted to question him on why he let all that happened to him at the court, was he really that pathetic. I was ready to mock him regardless of any answers he would give me.Right now, I can't understand my emotions, I should have joined the rest of the nobles that despise prince Zane to go against him. I should have laughed among them when they laughed at him, even if I was trying to protect myself from king Kaida by acting like a good fiances. At the
Aria povWaking up to a nice soft bed wasn't a surprise for me. Prince Zane always made sure I got move from the floor early, before Erika comes into the room to dress me up. If only the bed was the problem, the problem here, was that prince Zane who was sleeping half naked had his arms wrapped around me.A scream came out of my mouth the moment I woke up. Prince Zane wasn't move by my scream, all he did was smiled at me with those silver eyes. If only i wasn't so surprised right now. It somehow seems like prince Zane was expecting more reactions from me, worst ones, like the scream I gave wasn't fun enough for him. There was this disappointment hiding in his smile. Before I could question him on what the hell he was doing, Erika opened the door to the room like she did every morning without knocking, because she was sure that prince Zane wasn't around."Oh... I.. I'm sorry to disturb, I should have knocked." Erika said in a small voice, feeling embarrassed, her back turned so she co
