THE RETURN
Caroline’s POV:
“So, I’ve heard you have some news for me?” I asked/affirmed to Liam when he arrived the next day to his new position.
“How did you know that I have news for you?” He asked me a little worried. Probably because if someone finds out what he is doing for me he would probably face a death sentence.
“You’ve mentioned to Lucille, so your secret is safe for now,” I told him dismissively, and he let out a relieved sigh. “So, what is the news?” I asked him expectantly once again.
“He has a codename among the Revolutionaries. He is in the group. I expect to receive some kind of contact from him soon,” Liam told me.
I got excited with the news and asked him: “What kind of contact?”
Liam shrugged and told me: “Honestly, I don’t know. I never know how the group works. I did not have that much time within the group. I just received a code

Caroline’s POV:“Excuse me, Your Highness, I will leave you with your… friend,” Liam murmured close to my ear. I wasn’t even sure if Stephen was able to hear him, and I am pretty sure that I was the only one in the room that could hear that he was hurt because of it.Since we were not alone, I could not reassure him or clarify anything, so I nodded and murmured: “You are dismissed, Private Caldwell.” I tried to look into Liam’s eyes to understand the turmoil that was taking his soul and try to promise him that everything would be fine, and I wasn’t happy to see Stephan here either, but I couldn’t do that much. Liam turned his back and got out through the same door that brought us here.I tried to disguise my sadness so that Stephan wouldn't see my disappointment, so I plastered a smile upon my face and turned to face my future husband, at least, in my father's opinion."Stephan! Good to see you
The Princess' Golden Cage THE THREAT
Vanessa’s POV:I knew that this was stupid of me, but I couldn’t leave Liam alone. I liked him. He was kind, brave, and insanely handsome. Well, obviously the first thing that got my attention was the fact that he was handsome, but when I heard that he was the one that saved the princess, I went crazy about him. I loved a good hero, and I always had. From books to movies. The hero was definitely my favorite character in any story. And now I met one in the flash. That couldn’t be better!When he got to the hospital wing, I could see that he was stable, but was weak. He took a shot on his tight protecting the princess, and this fact was brave enough for him to make it into my heroes list. Having him at the hospital and talking to him every day made him go up to the top one on my list.It was the best part of my day, attending to him at the clinic. I wasn’t in his surgery, because I’m not qualified yet to assist doctors in complicated
The Princess' Golden Cage THE FUTURE PRINCE CONSORT
Caroline’s POV:“So, Stephan, it is so good to see you back!” My father exclaimed at dinner. Sometimes, I could manage to avoid those meals with my parents, on the excuse of being busy or feeling unwell, but I knew that I would never manage to do that tonight. My “beloved fiancé” was back in town and since all the kingdom thought that I was madly in love with him, I had to pretend that I missed him badly.“It is good to be back too, Your Majesty,” Stephan answered my father.The king waved at him dismissing all the formalities: “Nonsense, Call me Maximus. You are practically family! I’ve been friends with your parents for decades and now our families will be as one because of your marriage to my beloved daughter!” I felt a little disturbed by my dad’s comments. That was not normal. He was always so formal towards everyone! Who was he trying to trick here?I must have made a really we
The Princess' Golden Cage THE TEAROOM DISCUSSION
Caroline’s POV:Talking to Stephan gave me the opportunity to understand that he is not 100% comfortable with our parents’ agreement. It also gave me the perspective that I was lacking here: there were too many people in this “relationship”. Stephan, me, my parents, his parents... Even Liam was in this relationship. Nobody knows about it, but he was probably one of the reasons why I wasn’t such a huge fan of Stephan’s. It was good, though, to know that I wasn’t alone with my discomfort. I bet that even Stephan doesn’t want to be tied to me, although I doubt that he would go against his parents either.I wasn't planning on leaving my room anymore that night, but I wanted to talk to Liam. He showed up an hour or so later, apparently from the force of my thought, but it was actually because he was on call for tonight.Liam knocked on my door and Lucill
The Princess' Golden Cage THE NURSE MISSION
Liam’s POV:I knew that this was wrong, and I knew that I should find another way to discover if Vanessa had any kind of proof against us, but that was the best plan that we came up with so far. Actually, Lucille gave the best idea, and here we were, following her plan.There were three types of dorms in the castle: one wing for the single men, which normally would share their rooms, one wing for the single ladies, which was a mix of single rooms and shared ones, and finally, one for the couples and even their kids. The last ones were the largest. I walked through the corridors on my way to the ladies’ wing, I passed through those rooms, and a little heartache came to me. I was planning on bringing my beloved Olivia to live in one of these rooms with me as soon as I give her my name.I didn’t go too far as to imagine our kids living in the capital, but still, I visualized a future with her right next to me, and every day it seemed as if this futu
The Princess' Golden Cage THE INCURSION REPORT
Caroline’s POV:“So…? Did you guys find anything?” I asked Lucille and Liam at the moment they got into my room and closed the doors. Curiosity was eating me alive, and I was extra anxious because my conversation with Vanessa didn’t go the way I planned.Lucille sighed a little frustrated and told me: “Well, not really. She got nothing about you guys, at least, not in her room. Any threats that she could launch couldn’t be sustained by proof.” Damn it. The worst part was to know that all the tension on the tearoom was for nothing.“Well, thank you, guys,” I murmured to them, and then I continued: “I guess that we are back to square one, after all.”“Don’t say that too soon,” Liam told me, and a small light of hope emerged on the horizon. I looke
The Princess' Golden Cage THE NIGHT MEETING
Liam’s POV:I left the princess’ room thinking about how I would contact Steppenwolf this time. Of course, I had the excuse that we were looking for Guttenberg, but I also had the responsibility to find out more about who was Morgan and what was that "nurse mission" mentioned in Vanessa’s letter. I just had no idea how I would connect both subjects in my next conversation with them, and if I would be allowed to know such a thing.Well, at least I didn’t have to wait a lot for another meeting. In one of my breaks on the next day, I went to my room as I always do, and tucked into my pillowcase there was a small note that simply said:Tonight, 11 o’clock. Same square.Sure, you don’t have to be a genius to understand where this note came from. In the next opportunity I had, I let the princess know that I was going to m
The Princess' Golden Cage THE MASTER PLAN
Vanessa looked at me with a wide smile spread on her face. Steppenwolf noticed immediately that we knew each other, but he didn't look as surprised as the others."Hey, looks like you two know each other!" Jack said pointing at Vanessa and me."Of course, they know each other, Jack. Our boy was shot, and our sweet nurse Vanessa took care of him," Steppenwolf said with a smile on his lips."Wait… was everything planned, including the shooting?" I asked in disbelief.Steppenwolf grimaced and said to me, "Of course not, kid. We didn't want to lose one of our own, but the aftermath of it all resulted in you being close to the princess and that positively surprised us, that's all. The fact that Vanessa took care of you is just a plus."I let out a breath I didn't even know I was holding. At least they weren't that morbid."He knows me, Dad, but he didn't know I was part of the group," Vanessa said turning to Steppenwolf.Dad? Did I
