Chapter 18: Chapter 18

Vy's POV

I burst into tears because of what I had discovered. Is it possible? Me? Is Samara Venice? The missing princess of Ihmapuleya? Am I the next queen? Heir? So are the words that mama and papa utter when they are serious always meaningful? So did I hear them talking about sitting on the princess’s throne? Is it because I'm not their parent? Because my parents are the dead king and queen?

It was as if my heart was broken at the thought of my parents being dead. I never even saw them in person, hugged or met them. I do not understand? Why is this happening? Why did I only find out now ?! I sobbed steadily as I hugged the book.

"P-they're dead? This can't happen? What will happen to me? Do they know I'm alive?"

I wiped away the tears but they just kept flowing. I need to be firm. That's what Dad told me. Yes, he is not my real father but he raised me. It's better no one will know until I've confirmed if it's true. There is only one way for me to know if I am the princess. When mama and papa come back but for now. I will first hide this book and my identity from anyone.

Even with Lily

I was startled in my seat when suddenly my phone rang. I took it and read the message. That was from Lily who said she couldn't go. I replied ‘okay just’ and went back to leaning back in the chair.

It would have been better if Ly hadn't come today. He might wonder why my eyes are puffy. I don't want to tell him why. I will find out the truth first before I tell him. So far. My brain was still digesting the information I saw.

Because of what I found out. I lost my appetite and chose to just lie in bed and rest myself. I was just staring at the ceiling when suddenly our doorbell rang. I was suddenly nervous. They thought it was papa. I hurried down to the living room and opened the door but they did not open it for me.

I smiled at him, "Luhence? What are you doing here?" Somehow I felt relieved

"I'm here to see you. Can I come in?" He smiled at me

I nodded quickly. I forgot what I saw earlier because of his sudden presence which is good. We went inside. I locked the door. I turned to him. I was surprised when he pulled out a red rose stem behind him. I stared there. Here is my fast heartbeat again that can't be stopped every time he's there.

"I'm sorry if I can only give you one flower. I went through the flowershop but they are closed. Forgive me lady blue. I will make it up to you next time," Luhence

"You don't have to apologize Luhence," I said while staring at the flower padin "I don't need a lot of flowers. The important thing is you made an effort to give me even hard. One flower is enough luhence,"

I smiled broadly at her and took a rose petal in her hand. Enthusiasm returned to her smile and eyes. I brought the rose to my nose and smelled it. I smiled as I smelled the natural scent of roses.

I was stopped by the smell of Luhence parting a few strands of hair that blocked my face and placing it behind my ear. I stared into his blue eyes.

"You're so beautiful lady blue. I wish I was him,"

There was the crease and bitterness in his eyes again that I couldn't understand why. A man like him is perfect for me so I wonder why he even compares himself to another man.

I saw him stop when I held his hand. I looked into his eyes and smiled.

"You don't have to compare yourself to others Luhence. You alone was perfect enough. I guess I'm the lucky one because you like someone like me," I laughed slightly.

He also laughed but immediately stopped and his face was serious, "No one can resist a beauty like you Lady blue even me. With just one look in your blue eyes. I feel like I'm going to be lost in it. You are my favorite lady and I only had one, "

I smiled at him. He stiffened in his position when I brought my face close and kissed the side of his lips then brought my lips close to his ear.

"I forgot to say I like you too luhence. I love it,"

Her lips parted as I moved away a little. I laughed at his reaction.

"Did I hear you right lady blue?" Luhence

"Yes. You heard me right,"

The smile returned to her lips and it widened even more. I did not protest as he held my arm and hugged me very tightly. This time, he kissed me, to which I responded with all my heart.

"I can now finally call you my lady blue,"

***

That night went well despite what I learned about my true identity because of Luhence. It is true that after grief there is a regrettable reward. I can’t believe the day will come when I will meet someone like Luhence.

We talked to the offender as I leaned on his shoulder. I have nothing more to ask for because of the warmth and security he showed me that night. Then we cooked and ate. I felt that he respected me because when I asked him to sleep there because it was too late, he refused.

He kissed me on the forehead and lips then said goodbye. He also told me that he would pick up Ly and me to go home later but in secret because I didn't want anyone to see him. He might even get involved in my trouble.

As for the book. I hid it in the drawer at the bottom so no one could see. Although I was shocked by what I found out, I tried to act correctly and forgot about it. I'll deal with that later when mama and papa are here. Somehow the excitement in my mind was reduced.

All they had to do was tell me the truth.

Whether I am really Princess Samara Venice I or not.

"You look in a good mood right now? What happened?" Ly

I smiled sweetly at him, "Long story Ly. Just eat that,"
