Lian's POVI saw the small doctor the moment she entered the Grand Hall. She looked shabby for the event and I blamed my forgetfulness. I Should have sent a dress over to her.She must have felt out of place as she hauled herself to a corner.Despite her shabbiness, she still looked beautiful. It was obvious that she put in her best to look good for the occasion. Knowing that, made me smile.Her look turned sour the moment Logan began to kiss Jennifer. I saw it all and I knew I was right all the while. My brother felt something for her and with her reaction, it's safe to say that she felt the same way.What will I do with these two? I thought as a guard approached her, leading her into the gathering. Logan must have sent him.I did not miss the sore glances that Jennifer threw her way and because of that, I decided to introduce the small doctor to the crowd.I almost sank to the ground when the small doctor returned as a maid to serve tables. Logan's brows knitted too, but he said not
Renae's POVI dragged my sore body down to my hideout. It was the only place that came to mind whenever I was in misery.My body hurt badly and I felt worn out. Walking such a distance was too much for me, but I did it. At this point, I needed to be alone, I needed the comfort that the spot afforded.Walking through the field of wild lilacs, I closed my eyes savoring its scent. It was like a medicine to my body and soul. I felt relieved instantly and I went ahead cupping some of the petals in my hand.With a handful of them, I walked slowly around, viewing the surrounding hills. I think the scenery and the scent of wild lilacs are the explanation for the kind of comfort I feel here.I was carried away by the scenery and when I came around, I was standing in front of the cave where I had treated the Prince.It was a place I wanted to avoid. I wanted to blot out the memory of that night from my head. My anxiety returned and I stood there staring dreadfully at the entrance of the cave.M
Logan's POVLooking at the Princess leaving, I chuckled and drew Jennifer closer to my chest."So cute," I muttered."Really? Do you like how wild she is?" Jennifer asked, jealousy evident in her voice. I tore my gaze away from the Princess and looked closely into her eyes."I wasn't talking about the Princess. I meant you. You suddenly look so cute and irresistible. Your scent is driving me crazy." Although I said that as a cover-up, I meant all that I said.I snoozed her closer, plastering a kiss on her lips. My heart swelled and couldn't have enough of her.I still couldn't understand the reason for the sudden change but the only prominent change was her scent. It reminded me of our night together and the small doctor. She smelled the same way. Which made me feel uneasy. Anything that involved Jennifer and I always linked us to the small doctor. Like the three of us were intertwined in some ways. I didn't know why that was.I remembered all that happened with the small doctor in t
Logan's POV"A skilled healer saved the Princess?" I couldn't help but think aloud as the royal physician's words sank in.I grunted as the picture of the small doctor came to my mind. There she was again, I was just trying to get her out of my life. Why did she always come to mind anytime something spectacular happened? The Princess was poisoned and she was in the picture again. This was too much of a coincidence."Go on without me. I must be somewhere, I need to confirm something, take care of Lian," I said to my father and galloped out of the woods.I rode my horse like a maniac, tearing down the uneven terrain.In no time, I was at the hospital. I dismounted from my horse and marched through the wards. I made my way to the traditional department, shouting the small doctor's name all the way.It was late in the night but I didn't give a damn. I burst into the potion room and I was surprised to see most of the students were still at work, they were mixing some stuff."Renae!" I yel
Logan's POVI heaved a sigh as I walked out of the hospital. Nova; my horse was there waiting for me. As soon as I walked closer, he reared up his muzzle and stared at me."I must look pathetic to you too…," I said brokenly as I patted his mane."Do not worry, I will come for you," I said to him and refastened his reins before embracing the cold night.Shoving my hands into my pockets, I halted and took a long look at the hospital. Although I had turned away from the small doctor, my heart was troubled. I wondered why she returned bloody and unconscious."If you are troubled, let's go see her… it takes you nothing," Leon said, but I shut him up. I might be concerned about the small doctor, but she was none of my business.Slowly, I turned away from the hospital and took a long stroll back to the palace.The first place I went was Lian's chambers. The royal physician was just leaving."She is going to be fine. She is asleep already," the physician answered the worried look in my eyes.
Logan's POV "Lian?" I asked, I called out, unsure of what I just saw. It was the beginning of a new day, the sun was just starting to rise. I had checked on Lian alongside my mother earlier, but she was asleep and I wasn't allowed into her bedroom. But now, I was in my room staring through the window. I caught sight of someone standing on my patio, it was Lian. "I must be seeing things," I said to myself and rushed out. "I miss you, Logan… I didn't want to miss our morning squabble, I came to say hi as usual," Lian said in a whisper as I stared at her blinking my eyes in utter shock. "What the heck! You're driving me crazy!" I snapped and helped her in. I pushed her into one of the seats in anger. "What the heck!? You should have sent for me or mind-linked me. You know I will definitely come to check on you. You should have waited. You ain't up for this!" Lian smiled sheepishly and I shut my eyes in dismay. I ordered one of the maids to get her a glass of water which she ex
Renae's POV"Thank you June," I whispered as June set up my breakfast."Common, I am doing this so that you can get well soon. It's tiring," June pouted with a sarcastic smile planted on her face."I know… I promised to get well soon," I said, playing along."Nevertheless, thanks for the care," I added meaningfully and she patted my back.While I ate, she handpicked some hand tools into her bag as she prepared to leave. She slung her backpack on her back and I looked at her curiously."It's quite early, don't tell me you are going…" I said but she interrupted."Yes, it is what you think. Eden and I are going to gather some herbs. Our team was assigned for today… We have to set out earlier so that we can get your cut done too. We still return in time…You know, we are trying to appease the principal," June responded."Oh! I see… thank you June," I whispered."Eden…." I stuttered, "...he hasn't shown up since yesterday…""He hasn't forgiven you…he also mentioned that you needed privacy.
Renae's POVWhile the nurses helped me prepare to meet the prince, my mind was filled with different possibilities as to why he visited It was quite early and he did not look like he came to have fun. I was filled with dread. Is something wrong with the Princess? Is she still unwell? Has Logan figured out that I was the one who saved the Princess? Did he find out that I was the one who mind-linked him? "We are done," one of the nursemaids said, breaking into my thoughts."Thank you," I said as they supported me on both sides, I could barely walk on my own. Despite their help, I felt dizzy as my feet hit the ground. As we took each steps I groaned in pain"Sorry dear," one of the nursemaids said as we took baby steps out of the dorm.Leaving the dorm when I could barely walk was a bad idea. I made an open disgrace of myself as students cast auspicious glances at me. They called me names and cussed out loud."Where were you after you were thrown out of the party!?" Logan's voice boo
