Stepping out of the tower, the first thing that greeted me was the sight of my garden full of lush greenery and numerous beautiful flowers—the only place in the entire kingdom where flowers bloomed because this witch's daughter looked after them. The entire tower where I lived and the garden in front of it was meant for me, as per King Armen's royal decree. Tall walls made of grey stone surrounded the garden so no one could peek in and disturb my privacy. "Please, allow us. We are only obeying the…

"My lady, it's time to wake up." My nanny's nagging voice pulled me out of my sleep. "Can't I sleep for a while?" I questioned her in annoyance. Martha came closer to my bed. "Princesses must follow royal rules and etiquette…." I pulled the quilt over my head, completely covering my face to delay starting this dreaded day, and spoke, "Etiquette is for those who will marry for the kingdom's sake and make the King and Queen proud. Not like I'll marry anyone ever." Despite my answer, Martha…

Clank! Shliing! "Swords?" I thought the moment I heard those sounds, and the next moment, realization hit me. "War?" Two groups of soldiers arrayed against each other, one side clad in red while the other group was in blue. I felt like my soul had been teleported in the middle of a cruel slaughter. The soldiers were charging at each other, fighting mercilessly with their swords. The bright moonlight allowed me to see everything clearly, but before I could get the gist of the situation, a…

She sighs as she took another sip of the rose tea prepared by the crown prince earlier. It has gone cold but she sipped it ever so slowly, trying to make the tea-filled cup last until his return. She looked outside the window and wondered how she could be so at peace in her situation. She has just been kidnapped by his royal highness, she tried to remind herself. It must be partially attributed to the fact that her abductor, the crown prince himself, has been on his best behavior during this time.…

As the carriage came to a halt, she hurriedly fixed her hair, the crown prince pressing a finger on her lips and uttering a mischievous "Shhh..." She had to gulp down her own saliva as she felt her throat scorch dry. Damn the crown prince and his kisses! She hurriedly returned to her seat before blushing profusely as he winked. She couldn't even utter a word of protest before the carriage door was opened and she had to cling to his arm as he gentlemanly escorted her out of the carriage. It was…

205 vi. Breathless “Are you uncomfortable in your seat?” the mad man would look at her with overwhelming desire in his eyes. It is so unfortunate how she is now trapped here in the carriage with this towering man who seemed to have occupied every breathing space. They were seated parallel to each other, but his large build made it impossible for their legs not to brush against each other no matter how hard she tries to stay in one corner. The dazzling handsome prince with eyes the color of…

204 vi. Only End for Us Both “What is it that you want?” he asked her, his voice laced with such solemnity she for a second thought she could ask for anything at this point and he would grant it. It was wishful thinking, she reminded herself. A trick that the crown prince seems to do so easily nowadays. “Choose me as your week’s favorite,” she said, her voice barely inaudible as she blushed. “Only that?” he was expecting more. He was about to choose her as his favorite after all,…

203 vi. Her Request (Dominus’s POV) She looks stunning. That was all that came to my mind as she approached me. From the moment she stepped into the hall and our eyes met, all of my thoughts disappeared except for her. Or has it been that she was the only one who truly occupied my mind? Completely and obsessively so, I was hooked on her like a drug. Has she been the only one who truly mattered? Such that she was the only thought that remained for me. Now and always. She was the only one…

202 vi. Choose for me, Princess The end of the first week of the selection is much anticipated because at the end of every week of the month, the number of women who will be eligible to compete will dramatically decline. The crown prince will be announcing the women he wishes to remain and say his goodbye to the unchosen ones. Of course, the selection this time will happen by the crown prince choosing a portrait of the darlings he wishes to stay. It is not of course compulsory to cut the number in…

201 vi. You Only Have to Teach She would wake up and find the prince by her bedside. The lamp’s light is just enough to illuminate his brusque figure as his shoulders rise and fall softly. A gentle smile escaped her lips as she watched him, his golden hair hiding a bit of his face from the side. She reached out and nearly touched his cheek, if not for him suddenly waking up before her touch can finally be in contact with his skin. “How are you feeling? Do you want me to call the physician?”…
