She flew to his side within seconds and knelt beside him. Everyone was extra quiet. You could hear the breathing of the hundreds of people present. The healers that were hiding earlier, slowly came out of their hiding spots to see why it was so quiet all of a sudden. When they saw Myles, they immediately rushed to his aid with their tools. They heard the quiet sobs of someone and as they went closer to Myles, the sobbing grew louder. They saw Gabriella sobbing. Her tears were...somehow gold in color and they stained the area of Myles's shirt where his heart was. The healers stepped back and watched in awe. ---- ( This part of the chapter is from Myles's POV) A ray of sunlight attacked my eyes as soon as I opened them and I immediately closed them and turned to my right and then opened them again. I saw a human sleeping on a chair while resting her face on my bed. It was Gabriella. Her flaming red hair was scattered across the bed. It covered parts of her face too. I swept her hai
" Oh..."" I will be leaving now. Goodbye, I will see you soon!", said Gabriella as she walked out of the room.Myles felt a hint of disappointment.' She left so quickly...'---Gabriella walked out of the room in long and fast strides. Her heart was beating faster than usual. She thought that it was because she was basically jogging so she stopped for a moment and leaned against a wall.She placed her hand over her heart and took deep breaths.Gabriella saw Helena walking towards her carrying a basket of fruits and other various snacks. Helena was eating strawberries and grinning." Where did you get that?"" Someone sent it to me. I think it's a secret admirer. "" A secret admirer?"" Yeah, the lady who brought it to me said that it was from a secret admirer."" And you don't know who it is yet you are eating it?"" Yes. I checked for curses and poison. There is none of that in this basket. "Gabriella spotted a little clear box filled with muffins and held her hand out." I'm not
Gabriella and Helena were in Gabriella's room. Both of them were sitting on Gabriella's bed with the basket in between the two of them. No one said anything. They were still shocked by what they saw. They were speechless. They were disappointed and mad." So she has been cheating on him the whole time?", Gabriella broke the silence as she asked." Seems like it"" After all that he had done for her...how could she be so cruel towards him? How could she still face him with a smile, hug him, and talk to him as if she had never done anything? "" I told you. She was born an actress. What are we going to do now? He will be broken if he knew the truth. "" He deserves to know the truth. "" So we are taking her down?"" Of course. No one and I mean no one is allowed to deceive him. "" So what's the plan?"" I will tell you later. Right now, we need to pay Riley a visit. "" Let's get going then. We need to change our clothes. "---At the Dwyer manor.Riley ran to hug Helena and Gabriella
The sound of the jade tea set hitting the marble floor echoed the quiet hallway. There was a scream of a woman. The sound attracted the attention of the palace maids and servants. They ran into the second princess, Gabriella's room, and fear filled their hearts.The second princess's body was hanging from the ceiling. Her body was limp and her pale face was completely covered by her long wet red hair.The servants wasted no time and carried the second princess's body to the hospital wing.Upon hearing the news of the second princess attempting suicide, the Empress fainted and the whole palace fell into chaos.During the late hours of the night, the sound of the doctors pleading for mercy could be heard from the hospital wing. They went as far as to kneel before the Crown Prince in hopes that he will let them off.The Crown Prince sat on his throne, looking distressed. He massaged his temples. His red hair was messy and his face showed signs of fatigue." Is there any hope that she wil
Servants were lined up to welcome the second princess." Ella was supposed to arrive an hour ago. What if something happened to her?"The Empress felt nervous. She kept on pacing back and forth in the living room. The Empress was wearing a maroon gown with a silver crown and silver and diamond earrings.The Crown Prince, Max, and his father, the Emperor seem relaxed as they enjoy playing chess with each other." Nicholas! Your daughter is missing but you still look calm"" Our daughter is a grown lady who knows what's right and what's wrong. Wherever she is right now, she is probably doing fine", The Emperor said.The Empress sat down beside the Emperor and asked." Do you think that Ella will be upset with the arranged marriage?"" I don't think that she will be upset. She grew up knowing that she had certain duties towards the people of Etroana. Besides, the second prince is most likely to be the Crown Prince and the Emperor later on. By then Ella would be the Empress of Gwacary",
Gabriella was internally screaming as she curtsied. The man bowed and then went on to sit beside Gabriella." So, Prince Myles, how was the flight", asked the Emperor with a smile on his face." It was fine"Soon the food was served. Everyone began to eat. Gabriella kept on glancing at the man. This did not escape the eyes of the Emperor. He smirked and ate his food happily.----After dinner." Where did this prince come from?", asked Riley." I don't know. Maybe Queen Camilla decided to adopt a child", Gabriella said as she took off her black high heels and put on a pair of pink slippers." But why would she adopt a boy? He will eventually compete with Prince Gaylen for the title of Crown Prince. She already has enough to worry about with Lady Daisy and her daughter, Princess Annie, living in the palace", said Beatrice." Maybe Prince Myles is one of the other consort's son", Helena stated." But giving a consort's son the status of a prince is forbidden. The King fought a lot with
Gabriella woke up early in the morning and got dressed. She wore a white dress with puffed sleeves under a black strapless knee-length dress. Her neck was adorned with a diamond choker and two silver rings on her fingers. She also wore black platform mary jane heels.She smiled in satisfaction as she looked at herself in the mirror before going to knock on the door of the room Prince Myles was staying in. When the door opened, Gabriella was greeted by the sight of Myles leaning against the door, looking at Gabriella.He was wearing a simple black turtle neck and black pants with a silver necklace hanging from his neck. He was looking at Gabriella with confusion written all over his face." Princess Gabriella, why are you here?", He asked." Um...I...This must be your first time in Etroana, right? Well, I volunteered to show you around. We can have breakfast at Lilac and Lavender's. That place is famous for their-"Prince Myles shut the door in Gabriella's face.' You little-'The door
Loralye looked awkward as she tried to find the proper words to explain herself. Her eyes wandered everywhere as she avoided looking into Gabriella's eyes." I just decided to come here and check the view from the-"" -The view of the construction site next door?", Gabriella asked." You know what? I just realized that my ring is missing. It's probably downstairs. Bye!", said Loralye before she left.Gabriella went back and sat down." What are we doing after this?", asked Myles." I thought that we can go look around Azgul Castle", said Gabriella." I always wanted to go there"" I thought that you wouldn't want to go there", said Gabriella." Why would you think that?"When Gabriella was about to reply, the waitress came with the food. After the waitress left, the two began eating.----In front of them stood Azgul Castle. It was a perfect example of Etroanian architecture. Each of the bricks used to build the castle was carved to be part of a huge mural. The mural told the tragic s
