Aria povAidan and Nadia tried to stop me but I force my way into King Kaida's office, leaving Erika to keep them busy. "Lady Aria?" Prince Zane asks. He was sitting down on King Kaida's desk, he must have been waiting for me to come in after hearing the unpleasant noises I was making outside, as always Prince Zane was a sharp man. "If you are here because you are still obsessively looking for my father, as you can see the room is empty." Was he ever going to tell me where his father is?"I'm not here because of King Kaida, I came in here because of you." Okay, that sounded like I have been missing him, not how I wanted it to sound. I walked closer to him and took a chair that was close to his side. Erika was still making noise outside by trying to convince Aidan and Nadia to let her in with me. Erika and I already knew that they weren't going to let her in but still, the plan was to keep Aidan and Nadia busy until I was done talking to Prince Zane. "After you are done settling
Aria povI was standing as I listen to Prince Zane. There was still blood on his finger, I didn't have the gut to sit down, sitting down close to him was easier when I knew that he didn't get his hands bloody over someone's death."So? Aren't you happy lady Aria?" Prince Zane ask, not caring if I was happy or not. I fake a smile and then remember that with him there was no reason to. He couldn't see anyway. I thought that I was out of here until Prince Zane called me back to finally tell me the truth about his father. Why did he hide it from me for so long and why was he telling me now? Possibly he was telling me now because he felt like it."I'm glad that King Kaida is going to be coming back really soon." I tried to fake the enthusiasm in my voice but it didn't work. Knowing that King Kaida is coming back to the kingdom was good but now that Prince Zane knew the truth, I was no longer eager to see King Kaida anymore. If anything I would have liked it if he prolonged his stay in t
Aria pov"My lady, Brian wants me to follow him back to his pack. He's serious about this. our relationship. I think he wants to marry me even though I feel it's too soon." Erika complain to me in the room why I tried playing a boring mind game with Prince Zane's bed sheets. Being locked up was starting to make me miss Lady Brunhilda's lessons. I haven't seen her since Alpha Bryant and Brian came into the palace. Now I'm starting to believe that she's heartless and didn't care much about me. Couldn't she try her best to visit me even though we didn't have any lessons planned for the day? But even if Lady Brunhilda was to visit me what would we talk about? She might want to influence me with her habits and her obsessive good mannerism. I guess the only thing I missed about Lady Brunhilda was her face. I almost laugh to myself as I thought of it. But only a smile came to my lips."Lady Aria, I'm seriously facing self-conflict right now. I don't know what to do and you look like you a
Aria pov"Lady Aria, what took you so long, I was about to send Nadia to fetch you." Prince Zane said. He was sitting down on his throne-like chair with Nadia by his side. I should have known that Prince Zane was in the room the moment I saw Aidan standing outside. "Your Highness." I gave an awkward bow. What was he doing here? I know it was his room but why would he be looking for me?"I see your maid isn't with you." I almost laugh in his face at his words. But I maintain myself when I noticed the frown on Nadia's face she wanted to punch me because I was looking down on her beloved prince. Well, it wasn't my fault. Prince Zane use the words, 'I see' when he was blind. How am I to be blamed for that? "Erika had other matters to attend to." "Matters more Important than you?" I remain silent at his questions. How am I to tell him that Erika was with Brian somewhere in the palace, probably having the time of her life? Erika haven't been with me all day, because I got bored of st
Aria povErika is here. "Erika, where have you been?" I had been out looking for Erika. Didn't see her all through yesterday but I didn't bother much because I knew that she was with Brian, I wouldn't have been bothered about Erika today if the time I had to save her from Prince Zane wasn't running fast."I have been out with Brian," Erika reply with a grumpy voice and a frown on her face.I knew she was with Brian, that was why I was careful with my search to make sure that I didn't end up seeing alpha Bryant, instead of Erika.But wait why was Erika speaking to me like that?"Did you just snap at me?" I asked Erika out of shock and less out of curiosity."I'm sorry my lady, it's all because of that man. I don't even want to say his name." Erika sounded angry. She turned her eyes away from me.Was she talking about Brian? No, it can't be Brian, Erika always called his name with affection. I don't know who Erika was talking about but it didn't matter much now. All that matters was th
Aria povI haven't seen Erika since yesterday when she walked out of the room in anger. Genevieve was the one who dressed me up and helped me to prepare for another boring day in Esterial. Prince Zane was avoiding me which I was grateful for, but now Erika was avoiding me like Prince Zane. Maybe this sort of behavior where normal for Esterial citizens. They had the habit of making a girl feel alone. I was in the garden inside the palace, remembering the time I made Princess Thaisa's life hell. Those scheming days were one of my fun days in Esterial, Maybe I should tell Prince Zane to bring in more of his childhood lovers into the palace so that I could toy around with them for my entertainment. Now that I thought of it, maybe Prince Zane might just agree.I walked back to Prince Zane's room. I shouldn't have forced myself to drink hot tea, but cold tea is disgusting. The hot tea kept on burning my lips, and now I was tired. It was time for my afternoon nap. Being in the garden alone
Aria pov"Is there anything else you need Lady Aria?" Erika asked after she was done cleaning the room.I shake my head at her without a word. She came to me today. I have wanted to see her because I didn't have anyone to talk to, but now that she was here. I felt angry at her for being here. I wanted to ask her why she was here wasting her time with me when she could easily send Genevieve."My lady, are you sure?" Erika asks sounding sweet. I could see that she didn't like the awkward air that I had created between us. But it wasn't my fault, Erika was the one who started giving me the silent treatment first. I wanted her to have a taste of her own medicine, and let her understand what she was doing to the people around her, including Brian."You can leave Erika," I said coldly with no affection. I was sitting down on Prince Zane's favorite throne-like chair. I used the side of my eyes to watch Erika, making sure that didn't know that my eyes were on her. From the looks on her fac
Aria povEver since I saw Alpha Bryant and Beta Brian in Esterial I had been dreaming of this moment. The moment when I could easily come to King Kaida for help so that I could continue living. I can still remember some of the words I had wanted to tell him before. Words that were now stuck deep down within me. Unable to come out because there was no need for them anymore. King Kaida gave me a questioning gaze as my eyes went through everything in his office except for his face.Was this the worst moment of my life? No, I think I had suffered other days. "Lady Aria, I heard from one of my men that you had been looking for me since I left." King Kaida said.I'm surprised Prince Zane wasn't the one who told King Kaida that I wanted to see him. He loves putting me in situations like this."There was a day I_" I was about to tell him that there was a day I snuck out of the palace, but I don't think that was a good idea. Saying that was like putting an end to the conversation before I co
