Chapter 18.1

Vy's POV

My lips quivered at what he said, "W-what?"

My chest began to tighten and my hands holding the doorknob were sweating. I feel mixed and I know where it's going.

"I am his fiancè! Of course he won't tell you about me because it's obvious that he don't like the idea of ​​marrying me!"

I could not speak and remained staring into his eyes. When he noticed that, he adjusted his posture and looked at me seriously.

"Dwight or you known as Luhence and I was arranged in a marriage. It was supposed to be another girl but his father decided to choose me instead of that. Dwight knew this day will come so he already accepted his destiny but lately, he's acting so weird and as his future bride. I decided to investigate. I found you, "

My brain could not digest what he was saying but I only understood one thing. Luhence lied to me. She has a fiancé! How did he manage to woo me now that someone is going to marry someone else? My tears flowed and I did not wipe them away.

Is it like this? Is this how it hurts?

"I don't come here to beg but to warn you. He's off-limits and he belongs only to me. If you still push yourself after this you're going to destroy Dwight !! You need to understand it! Once his father knew about you! You're going to be dead because you are a humiliation to them! "

"Humiliation? W-what are you saying?"

"It's rude but Dwight was too pricey for you. He deserved a woman with ----,"

My jaws tightened at what he wanted to say. Because of the anger and pain I felt, I didn't let him finish what he was going to say and stopped him. I stared wickedly at him.

"You don't have to look like I'm a poor person and don't fit in with someone like Luhence so you can leave! You can leave!" I shout

He looked surprised at my shout but also left quickly. I closed the door and slid there with my face covered. My tears just kept flowing because of the lines that kept coming into my brain.

"Luhence? B-why? I trust you!"

I thought he was different but he wasn't! He's even worse than Luke! He lied to me! What is he up to? What do I do fittings? Does he look down on me? Because I'm just poor?

"I'm so stupid! Why did I trust the person whose name I only know?"

I stared at the ceiling and wiped away my tears. By the time he came back and that woman was right.

We're done

Luhence's POV

Nash opened the door for me and I immediately get off. I rushed to the main door straight to my father's office room. There, I found him staring at me when I opened the door.

"Dad?"

He sighed and I felt anxious because I know what's going to happen next. And I am right.

"The wedding was 3 weeks from now. We adjusted it because the wedding wasn't official yet. I wanted you to focus more in your upcoming responsibilities since when you and princess christine were already married. Im going to pass my throne to you. I can't wait to happen that, "

I instantly felt a pang of guilt when I saw the happiness in his eyes. Three weeks? Damn! I couldnt believe I was about to lose the woman I just had for a very short time. I feel the bitterness in my mouth and my heart crushing already.

I can't marry her.

I need to do something!

"And by the way. You are not allowed to go somewhere except here in the palace. You had a lot of things to ---,"

Before he can finish his sentence. I cut him off with my serious voice and eyes. I won't let him overpower me. No! I can't just lose my lady blue that easy!

"Dad ...,"

"What is it?" He narrowed his eyes

"I don't want to marry her,"

I can see the disbelief in his eyes but I need to do this. I want to have more time with my lady.

"What are you saying my son ?!"

"Since I'm going to be the next king. I wanted to voice out my opinion and it was declining to marry Princess Christine, majesty," I said cold but firm voice

"And who the hell do you want to marry huh? Some random woman who will just ----,"

My jaw clenched, "I want to marry the lost princess of Ihmapuleya pàpa because we don't break promises,"

His eyes were so curious and frustration was visible, "My son! We are not sur ---,"

"I don't care !! Wether you or the officials disapproved. I will only considered the Ihmapuleya's princess ... as my fiancè and future bride,"

Vy's POV

I did nothing but wait for the parents I grew up with on Saturday but I didn't even see a shadow of them that week. I’m already confused as to what I should prioritize. The truth in my whole being or what I found out about Luhe ---- Dwight?

I closed my eyes tightly and leaned my back in the chair. I am here now in the room and waiting for the professor to teach us. I still feel the bitterness and pain every time I remember that. Fiancé? Dwight? I still don't know him much. Why does it have to be like this now that I admit I love her?

I can not accept. Too painful and insane. Especially to think later if he will come. The confrontation will happen that I wanted to do on Saturday but I forced myself not to. We better talk in person and when I confirm I am right.

I will release him

Other people look down on me because I'm poor. I don't want to hear more hurtful words in case I am the one who caused their marriage to end. My mind is confused now but I try to be firm and wise in the decisions I make because I don't want to regret anything later. I will not rush them and I will not force myself to find out because I know they themselves will come to me and when that happens. There I will confront them.

I was able to sit up when our professor came in on this subject. My classmates quickly returned to their assigned seats and moved their seats to chat.

"We will have an early dismissal today due to an explosion nearby. We still don't know when the class will continue because the king has not announced anything about it. So students, go home and be safe," said our professor.

I blink several times. Explosion? Is that why there was a power outage earlier and last night? I thought there was just a blown power cord. The students quickly disappeared from the room as I approached our prof.

"Sir? Who is the cause of the explosion?" I will ask

I don’t know why I’m so curious. Maybe because I am concerned about our country.

"I don't know and actually, no one knows except the king and officials. They kept it private for a reason but the news is almost thirty died in the explosion,"

My lips parted at what he said. Thirty people? I stared at him with a serious look on his face.

"I don't know if it's right for me to say this but I have a suspicion that King Magnus I's best enemy is the mastermind. If only the dear king hadn't died of depression and lost his son. I wish he was strong. the security of our country, "

My whole body went numb at the name he mentioned. Should I call father what he is referring to? The book clearly states my name that Mama mentioned but is that enough evidence to say I'm the princess?

If I am? Am I eligible?

I sneezed and said goodbye to him. I was about to stop at the words he said.

"Too many lives have been lost. One must find the princess and sit on the throne because otherwise. Surely many more will die and suffer Elvyra,"

I was nervous at the tone of his speech so I couldn't look back and hurried out of the classroom. When I was sure I was far from there. I leaned against the wall and slid.

"I-may ... Does Sir know about me?"

I tugged at my hair and looked at the floor. I have to think hard because otherwise! I'm going crazy right here in my seat. For some unknown reason I felt a heavy responsibility to my country. That I must have done. I can't bear to see innocent people dying and starving just like the explosion that happened.

"If I were the princess. I need to act! You need to act Elvyra!"
