Alan's POV...

It was quarter to seven, I remember the appointment with Mr. Brendon. I woke up and looked around, Amber was hidden in the bathroom, so I went near and called her out with a knock.

"I need to use the bathroom Princess" I blurted as she had been in there for more than an hour now,

I was sure that she was there because she was embraced.

Just in a minute, she came out with a towel draped around her head covering her face,

I can't help but laugh,

but I need to hurry up, I don't have time to pull her leg anyway,

I went to the bathroom to wash up,

as I got out she was long gone, I got ready and went down, all the way I was preparing myself on how I have to explain everything to Louis but my plans shuddered as I saw, Charles and his other brothers, Colter and Cillia standing on either side of Louis,

She smacked those rumors out of her mind pretending to be not affected by them at all but somewhere deep inside her, there was a qualm hidden. Now that she saw it with her own eyes, her suspicion was elucidated.The moment she entered the main hall, Alan was no less than a demon with the same scary red eyes and a black smoky demonic air around him, gritting on her brother, Charles, and lifting him in the air.

Could it be...!With a confusion that dazed her mind, she reached for his mask with her trembling hands slowly.The moment she pulled out it, eliminating the barrier between them, her heart skipped a couple of beats. "Lu...Louis...!" stammered Amber in shock. He bend his head at her and attached his forehead to that of hers."Alan...! Call my name...!" his husky voice brushed her cheeks as he breathed out and his hands never left her face."B. .but...Y...you...! How...?" she stuttered in confusion, that was unbelievable for her. Nearly one of the impossible things that she could imagine."Call my name, Princess...!" he repeated. "But...! How could you...?" she was still confused, his hands slipped down, grabbing her waist in his arms, and pushed her in, further close, she flicked at his sudden clasp."Call my name...!" his whispers sent chills down h

    Author's point of view..."No please...!" the fake bride who was standing still before Alan, waiting for her chance fell on his feet pleading for mercy, she couldn't face his demonic self but other than pleading with him there was nothing she could do to save her family.With that horrifying anger and his world-domineering power, it was sure that the two men who offended him are going to pay for their deeds."Please... My lord, I am willing to be your maid for my entire life...!" That princess cried on his feet, patting her forehead on the ground.He halted himself from doing anything further and pulled his demonic air back. The hall was at a deadly silence, no one dared to talk, in fact even the noise of taking in a breath was stilled. All those present in the hall considered Alan to be a dangerous and cruel man, though all know that this Prince was known to be the most powerful one among all the surrounding countries, At least did they know that his power was so influential and life

    Chapter 137 Fake Bride..

    Author's point of view...The wedding preparation was completed as everyone in the palace was busy doing the allotted work from dawn. Louis Brendan was restless because Alan was missing the whole night and he was not even taking his phone calls. It wasn't a concern though. Prince Alan was more than enough to conquer a whole country independently let alone some stupid people trying to get on his nerves. It was decided that the wedding will be held in the afternoon, so Louis still managed to send back every visitor that had been trying to meet the Prince. Amber's grandfather, King Pasture came thrice to meet Alan, he had to pouch this opportunity and replace the bride but Louis was aware of his intention and so he never let him show his pangs.It was afternoon and the guests started arriving one after the other to witness the great wedding of the legendary Prince of Verona. The wedding hall was filled with guests and the host, King Charles was nowhere to be seen. Charles was still

    Chapter 136 The secret rescue...

    Alan's point of view...Sometimes we have instincts that tell us about the dangers lurking but sometimes people's behavior is more clear enough than that of instincts.Charles panicked and rushed out of the palace the moment he heard something from his servant, his every action was weird and I can easily deduce that something was wrong with him, and the only matter that can make him so much worry must be related to Amber. That wild cat never lets me sit idle. It's just a day and we would have gotten married again. I just wanted to give her the greatest surprise but it looks like she loves adventures. I asked Louis to gather information about what happened in the inner palace. Meanwhile, I had to bear with the hospitality those people were showing toward me.He came after a while, his creased forehead was the answer, which made me worried. "Your Highness, Princess Amber is missing" he whispered into my ears, it wasn't something unexpected, I know that could be the reason why Charles

    Amber's point of view..."Princess Amber they are here...!" a knock at the door almost jerked me up from my sleep. I couldn't sleep all night from the moment I heard that the people from Verona will be here tomorrow, just the thought of getting married to someone else gave me shivers.Does that make any sense?Why was he here so soon?I thought he will take at least a week so that I can plan something to escape.I got here yesterday it was like after an eternity that I got back to my place. I haven't rested yet. Though it's my room, I had been living in this place for more than eighteen years. Still, I felt this place haunting me.Each and every corner of this room reminds me of him. That couch, where he used to lie down, almost made my eyes wet. The more I try to get out of him the more I get drowned into his thoughts.I was sure that the Prince will not be interested in a divorced princess like me but that scumbag, out of all those beauties in the college, why the hell he selected

    Chapter 134 The Journey to Hamdon...

    Alan's point of view..."After getting the last crystal, you can get many supernatural powers, you have to be strong enough to control it," he revealed with great difficulty. I have many things that I had to ask him but unfortunately, his condition was getting worse every second."Where is the fifth crystal?" I asked him the first question, the way he spoke about the crystal, it was very clear that he knew where that was, but he chuckled looking at me, "Have patience, my boy, You will get it soon!" his answer was odd, different than what I expected, what does that mean?Didn't he already know that?Am I being impatient?"Do you know the way to destroy these crystals?" I inquired him straight my second question and soon his expression changed, his forehead creased upon hearing it. As if I just asked some unreasonable question."Why do you want to destroy it?" he asked immediately in disbelief, I know everyone is going to be shocked by this question. This crystal power has a lot of m

    Chapter 133 The fifth crystal...

    Alan's point of view...The traditional way of bringing a bride.Interesting...!It was decided that we have to follow the customs, according to which, Amber will be sent to Hamdon and I have to go there and bring her back here after giving her a proper wedding. The Great Royal Reception will be held here in Verona along with my throne ascending ceremony, in the presence of all the ministers, and all the relatives a few days later.Well, if this is what they call the custom, then I would love to go back to Hamdon, I want to see their faces when they meet the real Prince Alan.It will be fun. I agreed to that arrangement but on one condition there that must be strong guarding around Amber, I don't want that silly girl to run away from here.Hmm...!Indeed, I don't want to reveal myself before her either as I yearn for the look on her face when she sees me as her forced husband again.As I was about to leave I saw Sebastian moving in, "Hey, legendary Prince...! So you are already out
