{Felix' POV}"Yes father." He answered. His voice breaking the silence in the hall. He had just answered the king, bowing slightly with all due respect before he walked out of the morning court room. He was slacked and stressed out. How could it have been possible that the morning court had sneaked it's way through into the afternoon. He sighed helplessly. He was tired and it was so obvious to himself that he didn't need signs or anyone to tell him. Him himself knew how stressed out he was. He was brooding over his thoughts until he stopped for a nano second. Something had struck his mind. Poor boy, he had been robbed off all his time that he couldn't even have made a possible means to have spent time with his lovely Lucrecia. He suddenly felt so worried that his face settled in a scowl that was obviously caused by an internal battle. She must have felt so lonely and bored without him. He brooded over this before turning to his brother- Williams."Williams" he called out after him cau
{Lu's POV}"Oh yeah, Patricia, palace maid? Works in the Royal kitchen? Remember?" He asked while internally rolling his eyes at his short memory."You know I spend a lot of time doing so many things, I forgot. Who is she again?" Felix asked her and she just moved on, not taking offence, she know there are super important things that he keeps in mind all the time, she couldn't fault him for forgetting this one little thing, could she. Of course not, she knew how hard it could be having to handle so many things of all things it's expected for him not to remember Tricia. She was just a maid afterall. No one important." Tricia is the palace maid I'm currently friends with, she keeps my company when you're away, she works in the kitchen and more often than not, she's usually trying to teach me lessons on becoming a member of the Royal family, today the lesson was patience after one funny story, I had a really good time with her in the Royal garden with her, I even met Princess Sam even t
{Felix' POV}Immediately she leaves, I can already feel her absence. I mutter prayers to all the kind gods out there in Lu's favour, I honestly have no idea how tomorrow will go, as I know for a fact that my parents, The King and Queen, expect an English girl with Royal upbringing or at least decent upbringing with parents placed in high places of government or in His administration. I don't want to disappoint my father the king but Lu is the one for me, so how am I supposed to do this? I hope my prayers work, I mutter to myself before proceeding to sleep. A new day will bring better things, I assure myselfImmediately, she left he could already feel her absence.he mutterprayers to all the kind gods out there in Lu's favour, he honestly have no idea how tomorrow will go, as he know for a fact that my parents, The King and Queen, expect an English girl with Royal upbringing or at least decent upbringing with parents placed in high places of government or in His administration.

{ Felix POV}I am awake as early as possible, even before the sun is out. It is a big day for Lu and I, I immediately set out my clothes for the morning court session and once I walk out of my chambers, I can hear the clamouring and clambers of Royal servants already awake, I wonder if they ever sleep at all. I spot a servant close to my chambers, so I call out to her."Your Highness, Prince Felix, auspicious morning today!""Good morning, do you know any Patricia of the Royal Kitchen, a cook?" I ask the royal servant quite straight forwardly without mincing words. She appears to ponder a little before she answers."Yes, your highness, I know a Patricia of the Royal kitchen, she returned to the capital in the evening of the previous day, a message came for her, one of her family members is sick and her presence was requested. After permission was taken from the Chief Royal Servant, she was granted leave till further notice. Her return is not definite, my Lord"The maid answered q
{Lu's POV}Smiling gently at the crowd of people as a million thoughts run through my head at the same time, how will the crowd truly respond to my presence, I question myself, so it is a pleasure to see the people curtsying, and bowing to Felix and I.Suddenly I see a vehicle pull up, reporters with their various tags get out of the vehicle and swiftly begin to assemble their camera equipment, at this sight, my eyes go cold at the thoughts of the many million things can go wrong with this new development. Felix did not tell me there would be reporters! He probably didn't know there would be cause we had repeatedly talked about Sir John and the others and what could happen if they ever found me. He couldn't possibly have known.Once we walk into the court and I notice the reporters inside dressed plainly while using high technological cam corder's to record the event and occasion. At this point I am helpless..The court proceedings go on smoothly with Felix and Williams pi
Lu's POV}Within seconds the reporters are up and moving they're in our faces pointing mics at us, asking questions that we cannot get wind of due the number of people speaking at the same time.Felix and I try to maneuver them and it seems that it is not working, even the royal servants are helpless, the guards try to create a way of escape for both of us but it is seeming an herculean task for them.It is in the chaos that I catch wind of some of the questions, " How does it feel to be disapproved of? Miss Peters? Can you spare the national tv some seconds? Is it true that you have no parents Miss Peters? How did you meet Prince Felix, Miss Peters? Spare us some moments, Madam? Where are you from? Were you born out of wedlock, Miss Peters? Prince Felix, how does it feel to have your girlfriend disapproved of? What is the plan now? What is the way forward? Prince Felix, spare us some time?"These are the questions that breeze past my ears as the guards form a pathway for us. I can f
2 days later.{Somewhere in America}A man wearing black is standing at a round table with a couple other guys, he's short, looks to be in his fifties and his shiny bald head reflects on the nearby window pane. There's a serious look on his face and a couple of printed newspapers are on the table in front of him. He's dressed in black from head to toe and most of the other people in the room are too.He begins by reading out the headlines of the newspapers while staring at pictures of Lucrecia, in some of the pictures, she is seen with the England Prince Felix Alexander George Harrington and in others she is seen walking on the streets of New York, shaking hands with someone wealthy and in a faded picture, she is seen with a look alike of the man reading out the headlines, the picture is quite old and in black and white."CON ARTIST, LUCRECIA PETERS MUST HAVE CONNED PRINCE FELIX""WHO REALLY IS LUCRECIA PETERS?""KELLY MILLER OR LUCRECIA PETERS?""LUCRECIA PETERS IS NOT BEFITTING FOR
“This is the night," Lu whispered to herself again reassuringly, for the umpteenth time, breathing in and out heavily again. Yes, heaven and earth knew she would never want to leave, even in a million years. Especially the thought of leaving Felix’s side again almost throws her into depression. “Why is it so hard to love in peace?” she thought to herself as she sighed and starred at the rope which she had intended to use and climb down for the palace castle that stood so tall above all other petty houses in the whole kingdom.She briefly recalled the first time she stepped her foot intoCunningham.She gasped at the height of the palace walls and the beautification of it. The marbles used in decorating the firm walls shone so bright and glittered that she for a moment thought she had been some how changed into a Disney princess’s character and magically teleported into their world. From her view below the mighty castle, reminded her of specifically Rapunzel and she couldn’t help bu
