Aria povThere was an annoying pounding on the door. I tried using my pillow to block off the noise by wrapping it around my ears but it wasn't working. Who on earth was that? Was the palace on fire? Even if that was the case, couldn't it find another time to set itself ablaze? I was really tired, I needed to sleep."Go away!" I scream out loud at whoever decided that disturbing my sleep was a good idea. My eyes were finally shutting without me feeling tormented by any thoughts of prince Zane. This was the first time someone had been so daring to knock at prince Zane's door like this. It could be that this person was desperately in need of help, or was in some sort of danger. I don't care about whoever it was that was behind that door. Their life and mine was different. Whatsoever mess anyone had tangled themselves with. They should leave me out of it."Go away!" I scream again. Louder than the first time. My voice only encourages this person to continue knocking. The noise was so
Aria povThe looks on Thaisa face show that no one had ever been kind enough to tell her that she wasn't needed. I don't know if she had lived her whole life feeling like the whole world love her because I hated her in every way. Yes, this was prince Zane's room but I slept in here, so it was also my room. "Leave!" I said again. "Now!" "Why should I listen to you? I know that you feel nothing for him. You act as though my request is unreasonable. If you leave prince Zane, you will be compensated awesomely by my father. Other than that I can get prince Zane to talk to his father so that you wouldn't be punished in any way. Her words made sense, but I didn't have a say in my relationship with prince Zane. Thaisa was giving me the perfect chance to escape from this relationship. The chance to say that I don't want to be prince Zane's fiance anymore. I should take it. "How much is your father willing to pay?" My words were empty. It wasn't coming from my heart. "How much do you want?"
Aria povI lay down on the bed with my eyes shut. Pretending to be asleep. I could hear water running as prince Zane took his shower. The light in the room was off. Everywhere was covered in thick darkness, I could barely see if I opened my eyes so I left them shut. If I could use my werewolf vision I would have been able to see clearly. Prince Zane move around the darkness as though it was filled with light and he could see without any issue. Either prince Zane knew every single inch of his room without Aidan and Nadia help or there was something prince Zane was hiding. He lay down on the bed, after putting on his night ware. The moment I felt him adjusting himself to a comfortable position. My eyes were shut tight, I was waiting for him to drive me away. A few minutes pass and there was still not a single word from him. Was he asleep? Perhaps I should turn around to check. But what if he was still awake? Does it matter? It was not like he could see me anyway. If I could make myse
Aria pov"Stay outside. They are still sleeping." I could hear Erika's voice from outside the room. What was going on? It sounded like Erika was arguing with someone outside."I have an early appointment with prince Zane." Princess Thaisa argue."I don't how you do things in survnial. But here in Esterial, the servant doesn't disturb the master when he's busy. As you can see my prince is still sleeping with his fiance inside. No one is allowed to disturb them, not even you princess Thaisa." "I will like to see you stop me." Princess Thaisa snarled at Erika. "My princess, Erika is right. As you can see we are all waiting outside until we are allowed to go in." Aidan said. Those that mean Aidan and Nadia were outside too? The thought of them being outside made me feel relieved that Erika wasn't fighting Thaisa by herself. Thaisa could easily force her way through Erika if she wanted to. Because she was human. I turned to the other side of the bed and faced prince Zane. He was still
Aria povLady Brunhilda's chamber was quiet. I silently pretended to be reading the book she gave to me. My mind was too distracted with the thought of prince Zane, just when I thought I could stop thinking about him. After that night I was falling miserably at my attempt to not think of him. He didn't answer the question I asked him about if he was in love with princess Thaisa or not. It shouldn't bother me so much that he didn't answer the question I had asked him but I couldn't stop myself from letting it bother me.Which was it? Did he love her or not? Most importantly, I didn't want to care, I never answered his question about my true identity. Still, my lack of answers shouldn't correspond with his. Our questions were completely different. Why was he treating me like this? Leaving me in so much doubt.Perhaps the problem wasn't prince Zane but me. I have been asking myself why I cared so much about princess Thaisa ever since she came to Esterial. Prince Zane was not my friend.
Aria povI have never been the kind of girl who hangs out with other girls. Before I left dreamstake pack, my best friends were all guys. Our friendship lasted for a few years until two thought that killing me was a great idea. I won't deny the fact that I did deserve it, but just because I deserve it means that I wanted to die. I was the first one who got betrayed by them anyway. So I feel nothing about what I did. I was in a different garden at the palace with princess Thaisa. I know what anyone might what to ask, what was I doing in a garden, peacefully sipping tea with princess Thaisa? Even though we weren't even friends. Well to cool anyone's mind. I wasn't the one who made the first approach, I wasn't even a tea person but princess Thaisa didn't need to know that. Right now she was right where I want her. Unlike every other garden in the palace. This one was different, I don't know how the flowers were grown because it was in the palace, flourishing as though they were planted
Aria pov"My lady, your planned work. A lot of opinions about princess Thaisa have changed. Those that were in support of her love towards prince Zane are no longer in her favor." "I know Erika. It was a nice plan wasn't it?" I play around with one of my makeup that had been neatly arranged on the dressing table. "I was warned by prince Zane to stop messing with his beloved guest." "Oh, is that the reason why you are looking so gloom?" "No. Not really, I can't tell why I feel like this." Maybe the idea of leaving princess Thaisa alone was already making me feel bored. "What does this mean my lady? Are we going to continue with the plan to get rid of princess Thaisa and her family or are we going to stop here?"Erika." "Yes, my lady." "I will let you decide. Should we stop or not?" "I would love to say no but if prince Zane is against it, then I guess the best option for us right now is to stop." Just because he was against it doesn't mean that I had to listen to him. "Where i
Aria pov"Are they gone?" I asked Erika as I slowly took a little sip of my tea. I don't know if it was because of what was going to happen today. My tea was tasting sweet. I was in the garden Thaisa had brought me to, the day I push her off the balcony. I smiled as I thought back to that day. "Yes, my lady. Princess Thaisa was putting on the gown you bought for her." The stage has been set, the characters are ready. I took another sip of my tea and nodded at Erika's words. "Can I sit with you?" Erika ask. "Of course." Erika sat down and poured herself tea. Princess Thaisa wasn't going to last one hour on her outing with prince Zane. She might not even last thirty minutes."My lady..." Erika hesitated on her words. "Perhaps... I think... Maybe we went a little bit too far this time." I remove my gaze from the flowers that haven't fully bloomed yet and look at Erika. Was she starting to feel guilty? Or was she afraid that Thaisa was going to die? "We can't create a sleeping b
