Marianne pov contd. The dinner did not last long when I was lost in the worry of my father. Killian, realising the change in my mood did not ask me much. He was just elated that his parents were not taking divorce. "Mother, are you sure you are okay?" asked Killian, looking at me and I nodded. "Yes, I am fine. I am just worried about my father a bit. But tell me, do you still have any doubt about being loved or your parents getting divorced?" I asked him as we both laid on bed. Instead of him being in…-

"What do you mean?" look at the audacity of this man! On one side he profess his love for me and on the other side, he just did not stop calling me dumb. There was a limit to everything. "Instead of explaining it to him you are trying to console him. He needs to learn or this case will continue to repeat." so now he was blaming me too! "You are completely being unreasonable here. He needed your assurance. In the end, he is just a kid." I replied matching his tone and attitude. "He is going to be 12…

Marianne pov contd. When I walked towards Killian's chamber, Cassius was standing on the door with a confused look. He was once again with his dark skin and moustache and golden colour hair. He looked towards me when he heard my footsteps. But before he could speak, his eyes fell on the maids who were following me and he closed his opened mouth again. He bowed his head, like any other knight, "your highness" "Come in" I said briefly, as I walked in. his brows furrowed but he could only nod and follow…

Marianne pov I looked at the door every five seconds. Why was she taking so much time? Or have I been too impatient? Who would have thought that I would get such great news after so many bad days. What felt like an eternity, I finally heard the footsteps coming closer. "What took you so much time?" i asked but the girl did not listen. She was looking in a daze. "Roselia. Roselia?" i stood up and moved towards her and snapped my finger only then did she blinked and looked at me. "You.. Why were you…

Roselia pov contd "See i knew it. I just knew it. So when are you bringing your parents to talk about it? No wait, when are you going out with her" she was looking so excited and i was looking so lost. "Look, the man even likes you in this condition. I am sure even your fellow knights would not be able to recognise you this way. Yet he not only recognised you but also escorted you back safely." she told me wriggling her brows and for the first time in my life i wanted to beat her. "Hey.. what are you…

Roselia pov. Why and how on the earth did he recognise me! His words rang in my ears like an alarm bell. My hands instinctively moved towards my face and then my wig. No, everything was perfect. I was still an ugly maid not the knight. Or he had gone there with someone else and there was some misunderstanding. "Sir, i think there is some misunderstanding.'' I replied politely this time but the man just chuckled. "That is the reason I changed my destination, I also want to know about the misunderstanding…

Roselia pov contd. I did not need to turn to know whose voice was that. I was sure she had gone to her room when I started moving. What made her come to this direction!? I slowly turned back, bowing my head, afraid that this would take more time than I had expected and the carriage would leave me here. "Who sent you to my father?" she asked me as she came close. "Don't tell me you are just another jealous case, who wants the attention of Philip?" she asked as she moved closer to me. She moved her hands…

Roselia pov contd I have met this man hundreds of times in the past. But this was the first time he was looking like a devil reincarnate to me. It might be due to the darker room or my fear of being caught. But a layer of sweat formed on my face and I was afraid the dark colour I had used on my face would fade if I wiped it. The time was ticking like an explosion was nearby. "So, she is flying high because of that dumb wit. I must say I have been given a lot of freedom. And what the hell he is doing here…

Roselia pov. I held the letter tightly in my hands and walked towards the carriage taking a deep breath. "Her highness gave me the letter. Shall we go now?" I asked, bowing my head, yet afraid that my wig would fall down. "Sure, go and sit in the servant carriage.'' I nodded and walked towards the carriage. There was a single girl in it who looked at me with narrowed eyes. Even her maids were like her. Once the carriage started I felt a bit relaxed. I wonder how my boring life suddenly turned this…

Marianne pov contd I have always felt that he was a strong boy, but this was the first time Killian was looking vulnerable. My stomach twisted, and my hands trembled with anger and hurt. I would have rather preferred him to throw things and take out his anger than sitting in a fetal position there. I slowly walked towards him and sat beside him, but he did not even notice I was there. Slowly I caressed his back and ran a hand in his hair. Finally, feeling my presence, he looked at me. There were no…
