I was sitting crossed-legged on the ground and dragging the stick along the dirt in boredom. “Any luck?” I wondered out loud without even looking at them.
“Umm…” I heard Ren tailing off that I had to look up to see him glancing at Ace hesitantly.
“Can useless people shut up? I can’t concentrate enough to find them.” Ace snapped at us before going back to placing his hands on a tree to concentrate.
I let out a tired sighed as I continued to doodle on the ground. We were finally back on the surface, but we could not go home yet because our horses are missing.
Well, not really missing. More like...okay fine! They’re missing! And Ace is trying to locate them.

I hear birds chirping outside as rays of the sun seeped through my window. I yawned and got out of my bed. Custard and Viex were still sleeping on my pillow and were covering their ears. I smiled and covered them with my blanket.The birds still continued to chirp as I headed for my balcony. I opened my balcony door and welcomed the cold breeze of the morning air. I took in a deep breath and exhaled as I lean onto the railing.Still, the birds continued to chirp. I smiled and blinked slowly as if I was in a trance.The bright and cheery songs of the birds were forcing a song out of me. And that’s what I did. I started singing. “Do Re Me Fa SO….FUCKING SHUT UP YOU DAMN BIRDS! TWEET TWEET MY ASS! GO TAKE YOUR STUPID TWEET TWEET ELSEWHERE!” I screamed bloody murder as I took
“Rose, come on. Do you or do you not want to go to his coronation?” Nate asked me while I was squatting on the ground and pouting. I was back in my track uniform while having my morning run with the Vampire prince.“I want to.” I grumbled.“See? Now, less sulking and more running. Come on. I’ll run with you.” Nate offered me his hands and I lazily took it. I let out a dying groan as I got up to my feet. “Don’t give me that attitude. Remember the condition that the queen gave you so that she would allow you to attend?”I rolled my eyes. I do remember. “I have to at least convince her that I am capable of protecting myself.”“And what else?”
“Sir Terrence, I am sorry. I was reckless.” I said as I followed closely behind him while walking through the hallway of the castle. I dusted my arms and shirt already, but there were still remnants of when I literally mopped the ground.“Rose, wipe your face.” Nate chided me. He took a damp cloth from the following maid and started whipping at the dirt on my face gently.“No, princess. I was at fault here so you do not have to apologize.” Terrence says.“Great.” I moved my face slightly to the side so that I could see Terrence amidst Nate wiping at my face. “Can I have the weapon back?” I pleaded as we continued to follow him. I even plastered on my most convincing look.Terrence immediately stopp
The day, training began and I was dead nervous. Emphasis on the dead part. I mean, who wouldn’t be nervous? I was going to go up against a genius assassin!What bothered me is the fact that he was already practicing his swings even though Terrence isn’t here yet.“You know, you should follow his example and do some practice swings yourself.” Nate commented.I nodded. “You know, I have thought about it.” I agreed.“And?”“That’s it. I just thought about it and I suddenly feel tired so I didn’t do it.” I looked at Nate and smiled proudly.“I agree. I mean, Sir Terrence isn’t here yet so
It hurts when I move my arm. It hurts even more as I opened them up and the tailors were taking my measurements. My aunt, the queen was finally convinced by my progress in training that she immediately had me fitted for a new dress.“Please. Don’t make the dress heavy and puffy.” I told the tailors.“As you wish, Princess.” The head designer, Gary nodded.“We’re done.” One of his assistants said and they helped me put on my shirt. My sore muscles screamed in pain with every movement that I have to gasp in relief when it was over.“Thanks, everyone.” I told them as I headed for the door. “Custard, Viex, let’s go.” I called as I opened the door for them. Immediately, they ran for th
It has been a week now and we have been constantly practicing with both my magic and physical training. Terrence is an excellent teacher, obviously. And I could see a lot of improvements from all of us.The princes mostly since I still find the time to sleep somewhere when Terrence isn’t looking.Ace is surprisingly a good teacher in magic as well. He would occasionally threaten me whenever I make a mistake, but he doesn’t really follow it through.“One more lap, Viex.” I commanded as I tried to maintain the flow of magic onto Viex while practicing my whip. It’s very hard to multi-task especially when I just got distracted by a pretty butterfly.“FOCUS!” Ace snapped beside me that I immediately looked to
“Out with it, Dan. Where’s Ren?” I asked.Dan moved away from the bouquet and was smiling at me like an idiot. “You’re looking for him? Is that progress I hear?” He chuckled and was suddenly pulled back by the collar of his shirt by his twin.Ren and I met gazes. “Hey, princess.” He greeted me. Ren was wearing the same coat as Dan, but minus all the fancy chains and details. While Ren was dressed to be presentable, Dan was dressed to impress.“‘Sup, Ren.” I greeted back.Dan moved his head back and forth between the two of us. And the more that he did, the deeper his frown has become. “That’s it!?” He asked in disbelief. “That’s all?!” He dema
It has been a long time since I came to visit the market here in Hazel. Nostalgia hit me differently because there were good and bad memories that I had here. One of them is where I had my first fight with Fred, and the other one is where I finally realized that Custard was indeed following me at that time.“Nora, stop removing your cloak. People will see that you’re a royal.” I chided her as I fixed her cloak. Before leaving, I asked the servants to bring us some cloaks just to hide our dresses. We didn’t have much time to change since Nora seemed like she was in a hurry.“I’m hungry.” She pouted.“Me too.” I agreed. “Let’s go look for something to eat.” I was a bit surprised when Nora smiled and started pulling on my hand a
