Aria pov"Leave us!" Prince Zane orders in an angry tone. How did he get here? How did he even know that I was in here? I watched Erika as she hurriedly scramble out of the room at prince Zane's orders. Could it be her? No, I don't think Erika would betray me even though I knew that she likes prince Zane more than me. It can't be her.Prince Zane's personality was always sunnier with everyone except for me. When it came to me, he became more deceitful, dark, and cold. Does he hate me that much? The thought of him hating me that much made my heart hurt. There was a loud bang as prince Zane close the doors to the garden chamber. "It was you wasn't it." Ever since I started my plans for princess Thaisa. I and prince Zane have been having this conversation more often. And it might probably not end here because I still wasn't done with her yet. Sleeping beauty needed to wake up eventually. "She won't die from the poison, only fall into a deep sleep. I'm sure she passes out from the pai
Aria povThe doors to lady Brunhilda's chamber opened, I look at it in expectation, hoping that the one coming in was lady Brunhilda. But it was just Erika. We were both nervous, but I needed to calm myself for Erika's sake. Don't want her getting scared, even though there was something to be scared about. The whole palace was on fire, king Edward found out about his daughter and he was furious. Never had such a thing happened in Esterial before. A member of the Athelstan family got attacked, it was unheard of. A meeting had been called between kings and nobles. Prince Zane send Nadia to instruct me to stay in my room, I wasn't allowed to go out. But I was too curious and impatient to know what was happening, so I didn't listen to him. I left my room and went to lady Brunhilda's chamber in hope that she might have an idea of what was going on. But lady Brunhilda still hasn't returned from the meeting with the nobles. If a meeting called by king Edward was being held, that meant prin
Aria povSo far from lady Brunhilda's words, there was good news and bad news. The bad news is that a lot of humans are about to die, the good news is that king Edward isn't wasting any time in putting his plan into action, he was ready to find out which human was involved so that he could kill them. I know that doesn't sound like good news. King Edward's men were already at the palace gate restricting the soldiers in the palace. He had secretly planted his men in Esterial, in case of a moment like this. I saw his actions as an act of betrayal to King Kaida. After all King Kaida had done for him, he turns out to be ungrateful, him and his wife. His secret men were useless, Thaisa went outside the palace and still got attacked. I had a feeling that for them to hide how incompetent they are, a lot of random humans were going to be paying for crimes they never committed. Okay, things were looking really bad, I know it is hard to see any go news from any of it. But I like to be positive
Aria pov"My lady! Have you been to town?" Erika asked.That was a dumb question. She of all people should know about how I was encaged in the palace, I'm either allowed to escape with her or if prince Zane invited me out. I can't remember the last time he did that. Probably he might never take me out again because of the recent events and my crimes. "Everyone in town loves you. News got out of how prince Zane's fiance fought for the humans of Esterial. Everyone in town wants to meet you. I heard that even the human delegate wants to meet you, my lady." Erika was all excitedI didn't know if I should be happy or scared. If it was just the humans of Esterial that wanted to meet me then it wouldn't be so bad but if it was the delegate then things were looking pretty bad for me. I'm sure he kept documents to know which humans came from which country, having an investigation being done on me was going to be a problem. Because there was I high possibility of me being found. And that might
Aria povBlood spurted out of my mouth as I cough continuously. I knew that this was a trap but I didn't know that princess Thaisa was awake. I thought she was too dumb to do anything by herself, but then again I wasn't entirely wrong. She wasn't doing this by herself, Luthera was with her. I chuckled at princess Thaisa as she glared hard at me. I wince at the pain I felt from the hit I got to my jaw from Luthera. Even though princess Thaisa was trying hard to be vicious she was still looking dumb in front of me. I knew that she was a vampire and I could die but it hard taking princess Thaisa as an actual threat. "How dare you laugh in my face after everything you have done lady Aria." Princess Thaisa was angry."I hate her. She is too full of herself, all because she is prince Zane's fiance." Luthera gave me another hit to my stomach. I was just happy that they weren't sucking the blood out of me. Maybe it was the magic necklace Elqenna gave to me that made them not to have known t
Aria pov"My lady?" I heard a familiar voice as my body stir up and I opened my eyes "Lady Aria. You are finally awake!" She said excitedly. I looked around the room. Genevieve was the only one around, I remember her from last time. She was the one Erika had sent to me the time she was busy turning herself into a slave for Luthera."How are you feeling?" I wasn't feeling any pain in my body. The only thing I felt was a painful headache, along with a rage I couldn't get rid of."Are you still feeling any pain?" Genevieve ask. "Excuse me, my lady, I need to tell prince Zane that you are finally awake." "No there will be no need for that." Hearing his name made me angry. Was he the source of my rage? I still remember all he said when I was unconscious. He wasn't going to punish princess Thaisa for this. Why?"Prince Zane had given strict orders that I should inform him about your recovery. Immediately, after you wake up." "I said don't tell him anything!" I shouted at Genevieve Sh
Aria pov I have been snooping around the palace, trying to trace my steps back to the same place Erika and I went to the time I got my hand on the poison sir Nuriel had tried to use for king Kaida. Collecting that poison again isn't going to be as easy as the first time.If prince Zane knew who I was, he would have thought ahead and seen that I was going to try something like this. That was the only way he can stop me before I get too ahead of myself. Deceiving vampires who were only trying to do their job was hard mostly when they are cautious of you because they know you are human. Lying was part of human nature.Found it. I thought. It took long hours for me to have hidden in the shadows like a rat just like Nadia for the first time so that I could lay my hands on this. I didn't need to use the whole thing just a little on my dagger was okay. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Princess Thaisa was not in her room when I came in.
Aria pov"Lady Aria tried to kill me!" Thaisa said in front of everyone. This reminds me of the first day I came to Esterial, when I met prince Zane at the ball they were having to announce the human who had been lucky to be chosen as prince Zane's future bride. On that day, two thrones were set, one for king Kaida and the other for prince Zane. He was resting his chin on his hands as he listens to Thaisa's allegation with all calmness in the world. For a man who had been saving me more times than I could count. He didn't look like he was interested in saving me from this situation. Still, why do I have faith in my heart that he would save me?Right now I could almost hear prince Zane saying to me that he warned me but I didn't listen. I was an idiot for not listening to him. All the nobles gathered around the throne room along with the Athelstan royal family. While many puzzles in Thaisa's words, king Edward and queen Malika, wanted me dead as much as their rotten daughter did. Di
