A maidservant ran out of the house into the garden where she knew she'd find the king. "THE PRINCESS IS MISSING!!!" The girl yelled, earning everyone's attention.
The king looked away from the man he was talking to and at the maidservant running toward him. She stopped in front of the king, breathing heavily. "Alpha, um...""Speak out!!" The king yelled at her.The girl swallowed, trying to catch her breath. "It's...it's the princess. The princess. She's nowhere in her room. I've searched but I can't find her."The Alpha's eyes widened and he looked around in fear, mentally hitting himself for not expecting it. It's as if he knew nothing about his daughter anymore. "Everyone, go find her right now! Find her and bring her back here! How did she escape?!" The king yelled, not liking the news.Catherine came out of the back of the mansion upon hearing the turmoil. She looked at Davina who was carrying her tray of fruits. "What's happening?""The princess is missing," Davina told her, annoyed at the fact that she was asking like she didn't hear it.Catherine chuckled, shaking her head. "Wow. So my sister can be that sneaky. How did she even pull it off?"Davina kept quiet.Catherine nodded as a smirk rose on her face. Though she wondered why Kara would run away but she hoped she runs very far away from the kingdom.A guard walked toward the king amid the chaos. "Your highness, he's here. King Vermont is here."Catherine gasped and blinked wondering what to do. Her eyes darted left and right because the reason why she told the king to be here was for condolences and the decision to marry her instead.Alpha George's eyes widened. "Is he...is he in right now?"The guard nodded. "We let him in. He'll be led here soon enough."Alpha George sighed, face palming his head since he was getting migraine from the stress. 'Why did this have to happen now?' He voiced out in his head.He looked up and saw the visitors he's been preparing to expect. They had to arrive in the middle of chaos.He sighed and walked toward the young king of Vermont who was looking around the garden and at everyone acknowledging his entrance.Arthur looked at the disturbed king. "King Mey, I'm sure you're expecting my visit."George nodded. "Yeah. We got the information, King Vermont. It was out of nowhere.""Out of nowhere? I heard your daughter died so I had to come to give my condolences." Author stated.George furrowed his brows in confusion. "You heard? It was only just yesterday we found her dead...no one out of the palace knew about it.""Well, your eldest daughter came to me at dusk and gave the information," Arthur informed.George frowned in shock. "My daughter traveled alone at dusk to meet you? I didn't...I didn't know that."Catherine sighed in frustration knowing her plan was a definite failure.Arthur nodded. "Obviously. Although, I don't get the news 'cause I met someone looking like your daughter.""What?" George blurted out. "You...you saw her?""Is she dead or not?" Arthur questioned.George shook his head. "She's not. She was dead for like thirty minutes, then she suddenly woke up. It was shocking but she turned out okay, although...""She escaped." Authur completed, nodding his head, and looked behind him giving the guard he came with a head gesture."She's with you, isn't she?" George asked hopefullyArthur nodded. "Found her...escaping."George let out a breath of relief. "Glad to hear that.""Why did she try to end her life? I wasn't told she was against it." Arthur asked.George shook his head. "I don't honestly know. She wasn't against it...""Let me go!" They heard Kara struggling. "Just leave me alone. Leave me the hell ALONE!! How dare you SHITTY people!!" She yelled out and released herself out of their hold as she arrived in front of her father, standing beside the king Vermont.George's eyes were on her in absolute wonder while Catherine just sighed knowing she miserably lost. She was still finding it hard to believe that Kara survived."Why did you escape, Kara? Why are you behaving this way? First the suicide, now this. What's wrong with you?" George questioned in a scolding manner.Kira just scoffed but she kept shtum since she couldn't counter his words. After all, she doesn't have the answer to it herself.And telling him she wasn't his real daughter, won't help with anything. Instead, it'll only make matters worse."When I told you about the marriage, you were not against it, Kira. You didn't tell me your objection toward it."Kira kept looking at him, also realizing she doesn't know her supposed father's name.'George Mey.'Kira blinked and looked at the long-haired guy in confusion and back at...George. She noticed her head was talking to her.Or is the princess mentally unstable? That will be so bad."Kara, hear me. Focus on me." George ordered. "This is serious cause I won't condone you trying to kill yourself or escaping."George sighed seeing how quiet his daughter is, he looked at Arthur. "Apologies, but I think her almost dying affected her. She seem weird since she woke up. Hardly talk and act like things are new to her."Arthur looked at her. "Well, then, let's get a move on with the marriage. There's no need to wait too long. I'll take her and keep her intact."Kira's eyes widened, her gaze meeting him. "What? You'll keep me intact..."'Shush...' The voice in her head shushed her. 'Believe me when I say this is what's best for you, Kira.''The voice even knows my name?' Kira thought with lowered gaze, looking like the confused person she is.'I do know your name, Kira. I know you're not Kara, though I'm glad you're here.'"Hmm." Kira breathed out, finding it odd but then she could use it to her advantage. A voice in her head talking to her like a totally different person..."'I am different from you, Kira. Kinda. My name is Cara, with a C.'Kira gaped. She has a name and she can spell.'Look at Arthur Vermont, Kira...'Kira looked at the man whose indigo eyes peered at her.'...isn't he the most handsome?'And the voice in her head is horny."Let's go in so we can properly welcome you..." George said to Arthur and looked at some guards and her personal maid. "Get her to her room, and get her dressed up. Keep your eyes on her." George commanded, giving her a stern look.They all nodded and walked toward her, giving her her respect and hoping she walk willingly.She was just glaring at him in a feisty manner.'You don't walk, you'll get dragged, Kira. Choose one. Except you're not tired of getting dragged.'Kira ran her hand through her hair, knowing the voice in her head was right.'Cara.' The voice corrected.Kira just scoffed and walked away toward the main building.Just because she lost this time doesn't mean she won't succeed.Kira gasped in shock as her corset was tightened further. Her face was contorted and her breathing seized as they dragged it once again. "God, damn it!" She snapped, causing the maidservant to pause."Uh?" The maidservant voiced out in confusion.Kira was finding it hard to breathe freely and she was feeling hot everywhere. "Geez. Is this…is this necessary?"The maidservant was confused. "My lady, you know that it's necessary. Besides, you need to look beautiful for your husband-to-be." She said and Kira could feel the smile in her voice.Kira scoffed and turned to look at her. "And who the hell are you? What's your name?" She asked, seeing as the girl seemed free toward her, especially for an ordinary maid.'She's your personal maid, Aryann. Also a good friend to Kara.' Cara disclosed.Aryann was shocked at the question and her eyes watery. "Are you…are you saying you don't remember me?"Kira blinked at her sudden transition and she answered since she hated anything awkward. "Don't m
Kira smirked as she found a new will to perform. If she arrived in the nineteenth century by falling into a big river, then she could go back by falling into the lake just like the princess.Why the hell did she even try to commit suicide? What sort of stupidity is that? So unbelievable. If she hadn't committed suicide then she wouldn't have been here.'I think there could be a valid reason, Kira. Nothing happens without one.'Kira laughed. "Oh, look at the voice in my head. Feeling so smart. I guess you were probably the one who advised her to kill herself.''Don't get me wrong, Kira. Just think about it. You being here is abnormal enough except there has to be a purpose behind it.'"What stupid purpose, voice? Please stop acting so smart and let me think. I can't think with you disturbing my head..."The door to her room opened and her personal maid, Aryann entered with a big bowl of hot water. She looked around in confusion. "Uh, my lady, where you speaking to someone?"Kira looked
Kira sat still as she let the maids take care of her hair and face. Her stomach churned and her heartbeat increased with each passing second. She kept trying hard not to give in to the panic and anxiety threatening to hit her but it seems inevitable.She wasn't even scared of death but look at her shaking at the thought of getting married. 'No, it's not me.''It's you.' Cara countered.'It's not me.' Kira retorted.'It's you.' Cara argued.'No, it's not! I don't get scared this way. This is probably one of the perks of being in a body as fragile as this.' Kira countered.'Just admit it, Kira. You're scared.'Kira gritted her teeth in annoyance and saw that her makeup was fully done and her hair beautifully packed and endowed with hair pins. The princess is truly a beaut.Soon, the maid left and Aryann with a middle-aged woman dressed in royalty came into the room with her wedding dress and jewelry. She frowned at the crinoline Aryann was holding and she blinked after realizing once ag
Coming to the conclusion that it was now or never, Kara took in a deep breath and slowly began walking into the hall. Every step she took was followed by a painful heartbeat. She feared that her heart might burst out of her chest at the rate at which it was beating.She tried not to look at anyone even though she could feel all eyes on her. It was all weird. Being among strangers. It made her feel like she was all alone in the world.It's probably her punishment for every sin she committed in the past.George smiled at her as she got to him and then she was led to a seat. She was beginning to wish Aryann was beside her. She hated how she felt vulnerable. Everyone expected something from her and she hated it. She could only bow her head and keep thinking about her life. About how she could survive this marriage and plan her way out of the place.She was so lost in thoughts that everything around her went blank. A tap on her shoulder made her look up and distractedly utter, “Huh?“It wa
'Well, I'm sorry to disappoint you.'Seeing his hand wrapped around hers, Kara raised her head up to look up at him. The height difference almost caused her tiara to fall off her head, so she quickly broke free of his hold to fix it.“What are you doing?“ She heard a question. It was from a female voice who looked young.“Fixing… this thi…thing on my…head.“ She replied, getting annoyed at the fact that it refused to stay.“You were supposed to talk about your virtue.“ Kars heard again causing her to look at the girl talking. She looked at the teenage girl sitting on the chair besides where King Vermont was sitting.She almost did a double-take as she saw how stunning the girl was. She was dressed like a princess and had some resemblance to King Vermont.Then she remembered what the girl said, annoyed that all the confused faces around her were still waiting for her to recite her virtues.What the hell does virtuous recitation mean?God, the middle ages were damn weird!So, she stutter
“Now the princess will entertain the guests and her husband with a special performance!“ She heard Madame Sharon announce.WHAT THE WHA?!!!What did she just hear?Entertain her husband and the guests?! Special performance? She turned to look at Aryann who was giving her a worried look and then she blinked as she wondered what to do.She was going to ask what entertainment meant but she figured out that it should be the same everywhere. And since the was the one performing, she can do whatever she wants to do.Her mouth curled up in a smirk and she began tapping her feet. She looked at Arthur with a pleased expression and announced, “Give me a beat.“ Then she looked away, while everyone looked at her in confusion as they pondered on why she was asking for a beat all of a sudden.“Why do you need a beat?“ The king asked in a quiet voice while shifting uncomfortably in his seat. Was his daughter deliberately trying to ruin the wedding so King Vermont wouldn't have to marry her? Why is th
“WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?!!“'Thank Goddess, someone can finally see that.“ Uther said.'Shut up.' Arthur dismissed him.A middle-aged man hit a table in front of him and stood up in anger. The man looked at some guards and ordered in anger, “Get that girl out of here now!!“Guards immediately dragged Mona out of the hall.Then the man toward his angry gaze back to Kira. “And you? What nonsense have you been doing in front of us? What stupidity was all that?!“Kira frowned at the insult and she scoffed with her hands placed on her waist and her hips jutted out as if she was striking a pose. “Stupidity? I'm entertaining everyone as required but you dare call it stupidity?“She was furious that the man dare insult her effort.'Did that girl just question your uncle?' Uther asked, not sure he heard right.Arthur just kept quiet.The man huffed and replied, “Entertaining? You're calling your rubbish singing entertaining?“Kira gave him a blank look that tells that she was getting f
Kira collapsed on her bed with her arms and legs spread like an eagle. She didn't know weddings could be so exhausting. She was so tired and everywhere was hurting. She needed to rest but first, she's gonna have to take off everything she was wearing. The uncomfortable crinoline and the corset that was making it hard for her to breathe.She wanted to get up but she felt too lazy to do so. She groaned and muttered to herself, “This wedding should be called the wedding of the century.“Then she sat up at the thought, her eyes darting left and right. 'Maybe when I go back, I could really see it in history.'She chuckled like a crazy person. “Whoa! Unbelievable! Then I should start doing iconic things, ah?“Then her door suddenly opened and she saw Madame Sharon enter with Aryann.“Oh, my lady, are you okay?“ Aryann worriedly asked, almost in tears. You could tell how much she cared about the princess.Kira gave her a dull look as she kept going on and on about how she was scared when the
