“I ruined the life of the only man I had ever truly loved” Lu said as a tear escaped the jail of her eyes and others followed in quick succession. She couldn’t just forget the look on Felix’s face as the cops came for her. She had never seen him like that. He looked utterly broken like a sad child. He couldn’t bring his self to look at her, not even a glance. She knew that, that image will forever not only hunt her but Judge her. You know when someone offends, it’s easier to blame that person but when it’s all your fault….the pain comes in one billion folds. And that was how she had been feeling since she got into this cell but what hurt her so deep when ever she remembered the look on Felix’s face was that…she was responsible. I did that to him she told her self as she sobbed hard. She found out that she has truly loved him and this was not because of his royalty, fame or money….but because he was amidst all that royalty was a man who had the most beautiful heart she had ever known
“Your highness, you are more suitable for becoming King in my opinion, you shouldn't give up just because—”“—Enough,” Felix interupted his buckler. “Don't interfere in royal matters.”The middle aged man bowed his head, “Forgive me, your highness.”Felix waved at the buckler, “Whatever, leave my room and take the snacks with you, I'm not hungry.”“Yes.” The buckler grabbed the tray containing the delicious gooseberry pies and started to head towards the door. He would have to eat the gooseberry pies himself, he wouldn't let it go to waste.As the buckler headed out, Felix let out a sigh and just laid on his bed, unwilling to do anything else.He remembered that woman's face and the good times they had together. He thought he finally found the one he could build a peaceful family with. Turns out she was also a fraud.He tried to convince himself that she was a fraud but.. somewhere deep in his heart. He knew that was not true or he refused to believe it.As much as he hated her.. He c
Felix kept his nose in the book, wondering what would happen next to the peasant girl.As Kara lingered around her home, she still wasn't forgiven. Kara's mother took pity on her and begged her father to take her back in but he refused. He said she was no longer needed in the house as she was of marriageable age, it was best for her to meet her lover, live with him and produce children.Felix lifted his head from the book in rage.What sort of beast was this? From what he knew, Kara was untouched and she didn't have a boyfriend either. She did every single chore in the house and instead of appreciating her, her father was berating her.It disgusted his nerves. If only he could enter the novel and give Kara's father a good beating.He continued reading the book.One day, when Kara was sleeping outside. She didn't see the snake creeping around in the vicinity and she got bit.She screamed out for help. Even though her family in the house heard, her father forbade anyone from attending t
Felix headed straight to his room. The mirror had been fixed and he was left to take a rest on the awfully big bed.As he laid on his back, he noticed it felt a bit uncomfortable. He had hunched over while reading that novel without noticing.He sighed and stayed in the position for a bit while reminiscing the story he just heard. It was indeed a tragic novel.He closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.By morning, he awoke and suddenly wanted to do something fun.He had the helps get him painting materials and he painted in the luxury of his backyard. He admired the morning beauty and could paint with more precision. He was a novice at painting but the sort of beauty he was drawing looked like a masterpiece and the maids around made sure he was aware of that.He just brushed it off and assumed they were all fawning over him.However, his good mood was immediately ruined by the dark clouds hovering over the sky. It looked like it was going to rain.As soon as he thought that, th
He stood up from where he was sitting and headed to the library. He was surprised to see that the maid Sasha was still there, indulging in a different book.Felix was surprised to see that. He thought she left after him and it was unbearable to imagine that she'd been in the library throughout the burst of rain and thunderstorms.How could a lady stay alone at that time? Wasn't she scared of the rain? And thunder too.. thunders made a lot of noise, how could she not be frightened by that.“Your highness,” Sasha gasped and stood from the table she was sitting in and bowed her head in apology.“Your highness!” She cried in a loud tone, “I'm sorry for being here!”Felix sighed, “I guess the time I gave you to read was very short.”The maid went down on her knees and it triggered Felix. That was the nonsense Lu did outside which contributed to her passing out.He sighed and looked at the maid's face. It looked puffy like a bunny's and he chuckled silently and gestured for her to stand but
“Sasha?” Felix asked, looking at the maid who looked up to him with hopeful eyes.“Yes, your highness?”“You've told me a lot which I'll definitely ruminate on. Both the novel, half a yellow sun and ideal romance. The love between your elder sister and her boyfriend is worth learning from.”Sasha bowed her head, “Thank you for listening to my story, your highness. My dream is to become a story teller in future. However, these days, it's rare to see story tellers get as much attention as writers.”Felix raised an eyebrow, “Storyteller. Writer. What's the difference?”“Oh! there's a ton your highness. Storytellers read books and adequately portray the message the writer intends to convey while writers write down the piece of information they intend to share. They show emotions through their well put symbols and words however storytellers use their words and body language to convey the message.”Felix understood what she was saying.“It is not impossible to be a storyteller. These days,
Felix waited patiently until day break. Even though the urge to sleep passed his eyes many times, he became awake when he heard a knock on the door.“Come in.”The door opened and the guard from the previous day walked in with a distant look in his eyes.“Your highness,” He said, “The imperial doctor sent the miss to one of his junior's hospital in the city. I think she has the chill.”Felix jumped from his table immediately, “Where is it?” He asked.“Nivile hospital down crescent road.”Felix wanted to rush out immediately but he decided to freshen up a bit. What he was wore in front of her the previous night was bad enough. He did not dare to show himself in front of her whilst looking tattered.He headed to the bathroom, took a quick shower and changed into nice t-shirt and jeans in order to get less attention. He brushed his hair and used some mint mouth wash.Then he grabbed his wallet and proceeded to walk out the door. Outside the palace, he felt like his heart was racing. It'd
“Now, now,” The king patted the Queen's wrist. “Let us go and say hi to our daughter.”“Alright.”The two couple strolled to Samantha's yard and weren't suprised to see that it wasn't packed as many maids as before. Samantha probably didn't want gossips flying around and that was quite understandable.“Where is the princess?” The queen asked the maids as they bowed in curtsey.“Resting in her room.”The queen looked at her husband and together, they walked down the hallway to her room. Only as they approached it, they heard loud music coming from Samantha's room.The king and queen were quite shocked.Making noise was prohibited in the palace, did Samantha forget about that?The queen eagerly knocked on Samantha's door and when she did not respond, she opened the door and the sight she and her husband were faced with was horrid.Samantha was sitting on the floor with bags of chips by her side and depressing music was blasting in the background.Samantha looked at her parents who looke
