    ¡°Just because I''ll sleep with you, doesn''t mean I''ll fall in love with you. That won''t happen no matter


    what you do. So if you have any delusional dreams like that, then please put it aside"


    I couldn''t help but scoff and re at the alpha in front of me. "Wow... You''re so full of yourself, aren''t


    you? I''m not in love with you and I''ll never be stupid enough to do that. It''s just going to be a sexual


    rtionship and nothing more. So don''t worry so much" I rolled my eyes.

 Chapter 1: Ending It All

    Chapter 1: Ending It All


    Irene was an orphan.She grew up in a little orphanage out of town.Even though her life was


    lonely and cold, the girl never stopped dreaming and working hard.She studied day and night to


    be the topper in her ss.In the end, her hard work paid off and she got a schrship in


    one of the prestigious colleges in the world.The one where only the elites went to.


    That''s when she met Maya.Maya was friendly and caring even though they were total


    strangers.The girl invited her to eat lunch with her and before they knew it, they were already


    best friends.


    Irene felt happy.She finally made a good friend who didn''t care about her background.She felt


    like she was getting closer and closer to her dream.


    Jason came along after a few months.He was always flirting with Irene but the girl tried her best


    to stay away from him.But she couldn''t do it for so long.Jason was everything a girl would want


    in an ideal boyfriend.Handsome.Popr.Enthusiasm.She eventually fell for him.


    Irene loved them.She gave them all the love she couldn''t get.She put them first.


    But everything came crashing down in her final year in college when she decided to surprise


    her boyfriend but found him on the bed with her best friend Maya.


    Irene was heartbroken and she didn''t know what to do.She heard them talking.Talking about


    her.She was nothing to them.Nothing but a joke.


    The world was so unfair that she just wanted to give up.So she decided to end it all but she


    didn''t want to go just like that.Not before she takes her revenge.Irene took out her phone and


    recorded her boyfriend and best friend.She captured everything on camera.


    Jason and Maya came from prestigious families.They were both heirs to their family business


    but Irene knew a perfect way to destroy that.Who would want to hand over a business to


    someone the whole world hates?


    Irene was going to make the world hate them.She recorded a suicide note as she walked to the


    bridge.Now she had no will to live.


    But before she went, she wanted to see Jason one more time.She wanted to see his panicked


    face.She wanted to see his fear when he found out that his future was over.


    She sent him a text and the video before she got on the bridge.She waited for him patiently.This


    was her time to y him.


    Jason came to her like his tail was on fire.


    Irene POV


    "So you finally came" I said bitterly, looking at my boyfriend. Or should I say, ex-boyfriend?


    "Maya isn''t with you?" I looked around.


    "Such a shame...I wanted to talk to her too before I leave, "


    "Irene, did you fucking lose your mind? What the hell are you doing!?" Jason panted out.


    "Yes, I fucking lost my mind, Jason! How else did you expect me to react to what you did to


    me?!"


    "Get down from the edge! Don''t be so childish! ¡°


    "Childish?! Do you think I''m fucking childish?! Fuck you, Jason! Fuck you and that bitch!


    You''re all monsters! "


    "It was just a joke, Irene"


    "Don''t say my name, you monster! Don''t say my name with your disgusting mouth!" I cried and


    furiously wiped my tears.


    "It was just a bet.Don''t blow this out of proportion¡±


    Just a bet? How dare this bitch "Is my life a joke to you?"


    I took in a shaky breath.


    "How could you say that with a straight face? Don''t you feel any shame? "


    "Irene..."


    "I was just a student, Jason.I just wanted to g-graduate and get a good j-job...I just wanted to be


    happy...


    "I dug my nails into the palm of my hands.I could feel them cut into the skin and blood pouring out of it.


    "W-Why did you do that? I trusted you...I gave you m-myself...but you betrayed me, "


    "I''m sorry...I didn¡¯t n that to happen...I didn''t know you''re that traditional and it''d be a big deal..."


    Jason sighed.


    My face scrunched up in disgust.


    How did I fall in love with this person? He still doesn''t see anything wrong with what he did.


    "The whole college knew, Jason! All of them knew that I was your ything except me! All of those


    moments I spent with you and her were all fake! I was just a puppet to you! Was making fun of me that


    amusing to you?! Just how sick is your mind?!


    "You should have known, Irene! It was obvious! How can I seriously consider a future with an orphan! "


    I flinched.


    "You don''t even have ast name! Do you think my family would agree? Did you really think I was that


    stupid?! "


    "FUCK YOU, JASON! "


    I screamed at the top of my lungs.I couldn''t take it anymore.


    "It''s not my fault that I''m an orphan, you sicko! Not everyone is born in a mansion like you are but that


    doesn''t make us any less human.You''re not above us! Heck, you''re a disgusting wormpared to us!


    Your mind is that sick!" I panted out.


    "You''ll regret what you did to me, Jason.I''ll destroy everything you have before I go! " I took out my


    phone.


    "The video is in this, " I waved it around.


    "The video of you and Maya talking andughing about what you did to me.I''ll make that family of yours


    that you''re so proud of, hate you to the guts.I''ll take everything away from you before I go, "


    "Irene, please listen to me¡ª"


    "I did, Jason.I listened to you like a fool all this time.I worked hard to earn a name so your family would


    ept me.I worked day and night.I even skipped meals and you were watching me do all that and


    laughing behind my back, "


    "I didn''t tell you to do all that! " He defended.


    I seriously want to drag him down with me when I jump but I won''t do that because I don''t want this


    fucker toe with me to the afterlife.


    "You disgust me, Jason.All the filth in this world is nothingpared to what''s in your mind,"


    I clenched my fists.


    How did I believe this person? Is it because I had no one who loved me that I just believed him so


    easily? Is this all my fault? Maybe I was too careless.


    Maybe I was too greedy.


    Maybe I''m a joke to all of them...


    I have no hope left...


    Did I deserve all these struggles? "Irene, give me the phone and get off the edge, "


    "N-No, "


    "Irene...We can talk about this like adults¡ª"


    "I don''t want to talk to you! "


    I screamed, my vision blurring from the tears and I blinked continuously so I could see his face.


    I wanted to see the dread in his eyes.

    I wanted to see him destroyed like he destroyed me.


    "Give me the phone, Irene.That video will ruin my life ¡° Achuckle slipped past my lips.


    "Well, that''s kind of what I''m aiming for.You destroyed mine and now I''ll make it even ¡°


    "Irene...please,"


    "It feels so good to see you begging," I smiled.


    "I believed you, Jason.I gave you everything but you treated me like a j-joke...You made me feel


    worthless...Now you and your bitch have to pay for it, " I clicked on the upload button.


    The video was on social media in a second.


    "Give me the phone, Irene!"


    "There''s nothing to do now¡¯¡¯ I dropped the phone.


    "It''s already on the inte.Say goodbye to your reputation, Jason¡±


    "You bitch!"


    My eyes widened.


    I felt the earth pull me down.Did I jump? Or slip? Or did he push me? I don''t know.I don''t care.I felt so


    calm.


    The air against my skin felt so cool.I felt like flying.I didn''t say goodbye to anyone.


    Oh, I don''t have anyone to say goodbye to....I gasped when the water hit me.


    It was painful but it wasn''t anythingpared to the pain inside my heart.I was exhausted.


    Everything was getting dark.


    The faint reflection of city lights on the top was disappearing as I sunk further and further into the dark.


    I felt the air leave my lungs and water fill in.I felt my head spin.I was losing consciousness.I


    guess this is how my life ends.


    So lonely.


    I hope I won''t be lonely after this.


    "I told you to shut up!"


    I flinched at his voice.


    "I''ll shut up if you tell me the truth or I''ll keep assuming whatever I want, "


    "I don''t care what you think about her, "


    "Really? Then why are you so worked up over it? " I raised a brow.


    "You act so rough for some who doesn''t care, "


    "Think whatever the hell you want, "


    "Alright, then I''m going to assume she''s someone who used to sleep with you.You know, taking


    care of your rut like what we''re doing.And then you caught feelings? "


    "Shut up.You sound stupid, "


    "Were your feelings not returned? Or was she your lover?"


    Rhysand''s grip on my hand tightened.


    "Oh...so I''m right...She was your lover...Did she cheat on you? Or betray you¡ª"


    A growl slipped past Rhysand''s lips.


    "Shut your mouth, "


    He said, his voice so deep and dominant.


    I couldn''t help but obey him.


    It felt like a huge powerful beast was hovering on top of me.


    So dominant it made my head spin.I bared my neck instinctively.


    It just came to me like a survival skill.I had this overwhelming urge to submit to him.I couldn''t


    even look at Rhysand.


    It didn''t feel like him.


    His grip on my hands was too tight.


    His aura was different.


    It felt like my mouth was sealed shut.


    I whimpered.


    My body couldn''t take his dominance.


    I was out of breath.


    I couldn''t breathe.


    What''s going on?

 Chapter 2: A New World

    Chapter 2: A New World


    "Aria! Open your eyes, dear" I heard someone say.It was a faint sound.


    Who''s Aria?


    "Oh my god!"


    God? Am I in heaven? So he really exists?


    "Aria!"


    Argh, my head hurts! My chest feels heavy...


    "My dear, please look at your father..."


    Father? My father? Where? I felt someone gently tap my cheeks.


    It was gentle but my head was hurting so bad so each tap felt like a stab.


    I tried to open my eyes but the light was too much.


    After a moment of trying, I finally managed to open my eyes only to see two people staring down at me.


    They were beautiful and dressed in an old-fashioned way.


    I couldn''t say anything.


    I felt my eyes be droopy and before I knew they were shut and I fell asleep.


    *


    *


    *


    "Princess! You''re awake!"


    I gripped my head.


    The loud noises were making my head hurt.


    "Aria? Are you awake, dear? Please, open your eyes and look at your mother" Mother? I don''t have a


    mother...


    "We can cancel the wedding if you hate it so much.Please don''t try to harm yourself,"


    Wedding? What the hell is happening? I opened my eyes to see a sobbingdy.


    She was dressed in a gown.


    Very traditional.


    Who is she? "Are you alright, honey?"


    "Y-Yes..." I croaked out.


    Shit, my throat is dry.


    "Here, Princess.Drink this"


    A girl said beside me before offering me a ss of water.Princess? Am I dead? Is this heaven?


    "Where is God?" I looked up.


    "W-What?"


    The girl looked at me confused.


    "I think Princess is still shaken up by the experience,"


    I frowned.


    "So is he real or not?"


    "Oh goodness" Thedy said worriedly.


    "You can rest a little more, dear.You are still not recovered," She sighed.


    "I will talk to your father about the marriage.We can refuse it if you want"


    "Marriage with who?"


    Thedy stopped and raised a brow.


    "With the Lycan king,"


    She said, a frown taking over her features.


    What king?


    "I think the fall affected your memories a little bit.You need to rest.We will leave you alone for some


    time,"


    She leaned down to ce a kiss on my forehead before walking out of the room.


    What the heck is happening? Who the hell are these people and who the hell is Lycan king?


    "Hey! You! Come here,"


    I called the girl who was walking towards the door.


    "Yes, Princess,"


    N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights.


    She rushed towards me and then bowed while greeting me."Do you need anything?"


    "Uhh...Well...who is the Lycan king?"


    "He is the king of shifters, Princess.You were promised to him" I was what?"


    "You were going to be mated to him," Mated? What shit is this?


    "When?"


    "In ten days,"


    Wow...Is this a dream? This makes no sense.I was about to get married...To a king?


    "What''s his name?"


    "Rhysand Arawn" What aplicated name.


    "Oh...Is he umm...How is he?"


    The girl paused for a moment before she looked around.


    "You hated him, Princess.He''s said to be ruthless and to have a heart that''s colder than ice and harder


    than stone.He''s a monster,"


    A monster?


    "Oh wow...I think I''m screwed."


    * * *


    I paced around the big room.


    It was designed in an old-fashioned way with a lot of elegant designs.


    There was so much detail in everything.


    I tried hard to understand the situation.


    I''m sure I didn''t die.


    I can still feel pain and difort.


    You can''t feel pain if you die, right? Because that would make no sense.


    I looked at my hands.


    They were milky white.


    I wasn''t this pale.I remember my color.I had golden skin.I don''t know how I got so pale.


    Did I be a vampire? Is that why I''m still alive? I felt around my mouth to see if I had any fangs.


    I didn''t.


    I looked around the room.


    I need to find a mirror.


    I saw one on a table.


    A little mirror with a handle.


    I ran towards it and picked it up to look at myself.


    I almost screamed and dropped it when I saw my face.


    That wasn''t me! What the fuck?! Who the heck is she? Am I hallucinating? I picked the mirror again to


    look at my face.


    An unfamiliar girl stared back at me.


    Her skin is fair and has a pink hue on the cheeks.


    Her eyes are big and bright green.


    Her hair is long curly bright ginger.


    She is beautiful.


    Is she the princess? Is she the one they''re calling Aria? Did I transfer into her body identally? Then


    where did she go? A knock made me jump out of my thoughts.


    "Dear...Can Ie in?"


    A man''s voice sounded from outside.


    "Y-Yes..." I squeaked out.


    It wasn''t wise to let them in but it wasn''t good to say no to whoever was outside.


    I saw the door slowly creak open and a man, who looked the same age as thedy before, was


    standing there.


    He looked defeated and tired.


    He slowly walked up to me and made me sit on the bed before kneeling in front of me.


    He took my hands in his.


    His hands were rough and big but they were warm.


    It was a kind of warmth that I have never felt before.


    He looked up at me apologetically.


    "I don''t know how to apologize...I should have listened to you...I didn''t know that you hate it so much


    that you would try to take your own life...Forgive your father for failing to understand you..."


    Father? He''s Aria''s father?


    "Our Kingdom is in a big crisis...There are a lot of others that are plotting to attack us...I didn''t say this


    before because I...I didn''t want to worry you...If we don''t have a stronger ally, then we will lose the


    war..."


    He was silent for a moment.


    "King Rhysand offered to help us...but in return he wanted you...I didn''t agree at first but it was for our


    Kingdom''s sake...Our people''s lives are in danger and as the king, I had no other choice..."


    He is the king? He is the king and he''s kneeling in front of me and apologizing? Just how much does


    this man love his daughter?


    "I will refuse him...I know I might have to hear a lot of criticism but your life is more important to me.I


    won''t force you into anything that you don''t want to do," He smiled.


    I was speechless.


    Aria was a lucky girl.


    She had a family that was ready to give up everything and do anything for her.


    She had a father who put her first rather than his kingdom.


    Now I don''t know what to do.


    The man stood up.


    He was so tall and he was towering over me.


    He leaned down to ce a kiss on my forehead before smiling.


    "Take a little more rest.Your hands are still cold,"


    I nodded unknowingly and watched as he walked away.


    A guilty feeling started to form in my mind.


    This man and the whole kingdom were going to suffer because I wasn''t going to marry that Lycan king.


    What a twisted fate is this? How can I make a decision in this situation...? This is Aria¡¯s life and I just


    wound up here identally.


    If I decided to marry the Lycan king, the kingdom would be saved...but Aria''s life would be ruined.


    But if I don''t marry him then, I''ll have to watch the Kingdom perish.


    This is hard.


    What the hell is happening? Why am I in a hell hole of problems even after I died? God really isn''t


    fair¡­

 Chapter 3: The Decision

    Chapter 3: The Decision


    I don''t know how many times I''ve paced around the room but I couldn''t make a decision.


    I talked to the girl I met before.


    Her name is Meryl and apparently, she''s my maid.


    Meryl was patient enough to answer all my questions because she thinks I have a slight memory loss


    from the traumatic experience.


    This world isn''t like earth.


    This is the world of mythical creatures.


    A ce where werewolves, vampires, and magical things exist.


    Aria''s father is the king of forest creatures.


    He rules the fairies, nymphs, and every creature that depends on the forest.


    I had a hard time believing everything she told me.


    Maybe this is all a dream....I''ve heard about people having long dreams when they''re in aa.


    Maybe I''m in a.


    This can''t be real, right? How can it be? But the pain feels so real....I tried pinching myself and it hurts


    like a bitch.


    Well, even if it''s real or not, I really have to make a decision.


    If I don''t, I''ll bebeled selfish by the whole kingdom.


    I think Aria didn''t want that.


    Maybe that''s why she tried to end her life.


    But is the Lycan king that bad that someone would choose to end their life rather than be with him?


    Just what kind of fucked up thing did I get myself into? I groaned and sat down on the bed.


    Uhh....what a fluffy bed...It''d be nice to take a big nap cuddling these fluffy pillows.


    A knock on the door made me sit up straight.


    "Come in" I said in a soft voice.


    I didn''t want to yell.


    That didn''t feel very princessy.


    Meryl peeked inside before she smiled.

    "Princess, it''s time for dinner,"


    She chirped as she walked inside.


    "You should go to the dining hall.Everyone is waiting,"


    "Oh...Did you have dinner ?" Meryl tilted her head.


    "No, Princess.We always eat after the royal dinner"


    "Oh yes...I forgot"


    "You really forgot a lot, didn''t you?" Meryl pouted.


    "We had a lot of fun growing up but now Princess seems so distant because you forgot it all" Iughed


    awkwardly while scratching my neck.


    "I didn''t mean to make you sad, Meryl.My mind still can''t take in a lot of things...I apologize¡ª"


    "Oh no! Princess doesn''t have to apologize! I was just saying..."  I smiled before standing up.


    "I''ll go to the dining hall then.Do you want to tag along?"


    "Okay!"


    * * *


    The dining hall was filled with unfamiliar faces.


    Some of them looked at me with sympathy while the others had their nose scrunched up.


    I quietly walked towards the king where an empty chair was.


    Aria''s father smiled at me before he cleared his throat.


    "Everyone" He spoke up to get everyone''s attention.


    "I have something to tell you,"


    He said and gently patted my hands.


    "We''ve decided to refuse the marriage proposal from King Rhysand" And then hell broke loose.


    Everyone at the table started gasping and yelling at the king.


    "How could you decide that?!"


    "He is our only ally!"


    "Are you going to sacrifice us for your daughter?!"


    "That is very thoughtless!"


    "We are going to die because of your deeds, King Lucas!"


    "You put your family over the kingdom! That is not fair!" The king sighed.


    "Listen, everyone,"


    He spoke and the table slowly fell silent.


    "I do not want to force her.This is her life.I can''t forcefully make her do anything.I''m trying to find other


    ways to protect our kingdom..."


    "We know there is no other way!" Someone spoke up.


    "Your majesty, this is not a wise decision.I love the Princess like my daughter but you are sacrificing our


    kingdom for her....That is millions of lives..." An old man said.


    I couldn''t stay silent any longer.


    It wasn''t right.


    I cleared my throat, catching everyone''s attention.


    "I would like to say something..."


    The table fell silent.


    It was astounding how they were respectful even though they all probably hate me.


    "I...I changed my decision,"


    The table erupted into murmurs.


    I saw the king and queen look at me worriedly.I could see their confusion.


    It must be surprising to them.


    After all, this ising from their daughter who tried to kill herself because she didn''t want to do


    this.But I am not Aria.


    She''s gone now.


    "Dear..."


    The queen started.


    "Did you think it through? You do not have to feel pressured..."


    "No, mother...I''ve made my final decision.I''m going to wed King Rhysand,"


    I could hear relieved signs and prayers uttered around me.


    They were all happy that I finally caved in.


    The king squeezed my hand gently.


    "Aria, this is an important decision...You cannot rush it like this,"


    "I am fine, father..."


    I gave him a small smile.I should be considerate.


    The people of our kingdom are my people too.


    Their protectiones first


    "Aria...I still cannot "


    "Your majesty, why are you opposing it if the princess is fine with it?" The king sighed.


    "I am not opposing...I was simply making sure that she made this decision after thinking it through..."


    "Don''t worry, father.I thought about this a lot," I reassured him.


    The dinner table was slowly bing silent and in a few minutes, everyone started to mind their own


    business and eat their food.


    It relieved me.


    These people are crazy intimidating.


    They weren''t like normal people.


    I could feel power oozing out of them.


    I slowly ate my food and waited for the king to finish before standing up.


    The dinner was over.


    I couldn''t help but heave a sigh.


    I finally made a decision.


    It was the right one.


    Aria ended it.


    It was me now.


    I''m the princess.


    I''m the daughter of the king.


    The fate of this kingdom depends on me.


    I didn''t want to let them down.


    I''m not that cruel.


    "Aria..."


    I heard a voice behind me.It was the queen.


    "You are doing a lot for this country..." She said while gently caressing my face.


    Her hands were warm.Is this how it feels to have a mother?


    "My daughter grew up so fast...She''s ady now" I chuckled.


    "Are you proud of me, mother?"


    "I''ve always been" She smiled.


    "Go take some rest.You have to look beautiful tomorrow,"


    "Is something special happening tomorrow?"


    "Oh, you must have forgotten.King Rhysand will be here to see you..." She trailed off.


    I couldn''t help but gulp.


    I agreed to marry him but I wasn''t sure if I was ready to face him yet because ording to what I


    heard, he''s the cruelest guy on this.


    "Tomorrow is the day where your marriage is going to be royally announced...We were going to refuse


    but now that you''ve agreed..."


    "I understand," I smiled.


    "I''ll get some rest as you said,"


    "Sleep well, dear," She said and pulled me into a hug.


    I closed my eyes and enjoyed the warmth for a moment before letting go.


    "I''ll meet you tomorrow" I smiled.


    The queen nodded before cing a kiss on my forehead.


    I just wanted to cry then and there.


    I couldn''t help but feel so emotional.


    I felt like a baby.


    A mother''s warmth was something I never got to experience.


    I walked to my room in a daze.


    He wasing here tomorrow.


    My future husband.


    I still couldn''t believe I agreed to marry a dude I''ve never seen in my life.


    What if he''s going to be an old geezer? Oh my god...


    I''m screwed if that''s going to happen.


    "Princess, you''re back,"


    Meryl smiled as I entered the room.


    "How was dinner? I knew you''d be tired so I made your bed"


    "Hey, Meryl,"


    Meryl looked at me "How old is King Rhysand?"


    "Huh?"


    "King Rhysand...How old is he? Is he an old man?"


    Meryl broke out into a fit of giggles.


    "Oh my goodness!"


    She was trying hard to notugh.


    I pouted.


    I just asked a serious question.


    What is there tough about?


    "King Rhysand is not an old man, Princess.He''s very young and very healthy.He''s the most handsome


    man I''ve ever seen.If it weren''t for his dangerous reputation, all the girls would be at his feet,"


    Meryl said after calming herself down.


    "Not saying he doesn''t have girls after him.


    He does have a lot of girls swooning over him but as per what I heard, he doesn''t even look at any of


    them" She shrugged.


    "Oh, I should go now.Princess needs to sleep.Tomorrow is a big day" Meryl giggled before running out


    of the room.


    I just stood there not knowing what to do.


    "At least, he isn''t an old geezer,"


    I said as I flopped down on the bed.I would lose my shit if he was one.


    Ahh...the fluffy bed feels so good.


    And before I knew it, I fell into dreand.

    "Princess, your bath is ready," Meryl said as she walked towards me.


    She helped to untie my dress before leading me to the bathroom.


    There were a lot of maids in my bathroom and they were all staring at me as I walked inside.


    I squirmed on my spot awkwardly before smiling.


    "All of you can go now...I''m going to take a bath..."


    I watched as the maids looked at each other before they giggled.


    One of them stood up with an amused smile.


    "Princess, we''re here to help you bathe,"


    My cheeks turned red instantly as I heard them.


    "Oh no, that''s not necessary¡ª"


    "Don''t worry, Princess.It''s our duty to make sure you''re beautiful for today''s event" "Oh...umm...Thank


    you," I smiled awkwardly.


    "Come here, Princess,"


    Some of the maids said as they walked towards me.


    They stripped me out of my undergarments all the while I died from embarrassment.


    I watched two maids put rose petals and pour what seemed like perfume into my bathtub.


    "Sit down, princess, " A blonde girl said.


    I nodded and decided to get into the bath.


    A maid sat behind the bathtub to lift my hair.


    Two maids sat on each side of me and I watched Meryl prepare something in a bowl.


    The smell told me it was turmeric.


    "What are you mixing? " I asked, causing Meryl to look up at me.


    "Oh, I''m mixing turmeric with milk and honey, " She showed me the paste she made.


    "What is it for?" I tilted my head.


    I could see the maids look at each other confused and whisper.


    They must''ve done this with Aria many times before.


    I guess they were confused why I''m suddenly acting clueless.


    "Don''t worry,dies, " Meryl smiled as she stepped forward.


    "Our princess is suffering from a slight memory loss because of the fall.She''ll be alright in a few days, "


    She assured them before turning towards me.


    "Turmeric paste will help your skin glow more, Princess.You''re going to look beautiful and smell


    heavenly, " She giggled.


    I couldn''t help but giggle with her.


    At least I''m getting good treatment in this world.


    On earth, I would have to spend a fortune to rx like this.


    I leaned back with a sigh as the maids started to apply the paste to my skin.


    Two girls started washing my hair.


    I have long hair now and it''s thicker than what I had before.


    It would''ve been hard to look after it alone.


    Good thing I have these maids to help.


    After they bathed me, they helped me dry my hair and put on makeup.


    They didn''t have many makeup products but they had all the necessities.


    They had mascara and eyeshadow.


    I have no idea how they made it.


    Meryl said it''s by burning some herbs and mixing them with oil.


    Apparently, it''s good for the eyes.


    They also had a red paste they used on me as lipstick.


    I liked it.It made my lips look supple and moisturized.


    Needless to say, I was impressed.


    I wasn''t a fan of putting on a lot of makeup and they just put the right amount.


    They asked me to select a dress for the event.


    There were all kinds of dresses.


    Most of them reminded me of the Greek goddess inspired dresses I used to see on earth.


    They were flowy and elegant.


    They showed skin but not too much.


    I chose a white dress with a golden belt.


    It looked sofortable.


    "Good selection, Princess, " Meryl chirped before taking the dress.


    The maids helped to wear it and it was asfortable as I thought it would be.


    The fabric was so soft and flowy that it made me feel like I was a goddess.


    "It would be better to let down your hair rather than braid it.You''ll look more beautiful that way¡± One of


    the maids said.


    I just chuckled in reply.


    "Do as you all wish, "


    "Sure, princess!"


    They said before starting to brush and style my hair.


    They took small amounts of my hair and braided it to keep some hair from falling onto my face.


    They also had some kind of jewelry to put on my head along with a ne, rings, and hand


    chains.Damn, I looked beautiful with all this.


    I felt like I was in a movie.


    "You''re ready, princess! " Meryl said excitedly.


    I smiled as I nervously stood up.

    "Is it time for me to go?"


    I asked and the girl looked around.


    "Wait, I''ll go check!"


    She said before hurrying out of the room.


    I squirmed on my spot and nervously bit my lips.


    My heartbeat was speeding up.


    I was getting more and more nervous as time passed.


    "Princess, "


    Meryl came back after what felt like three minutes.


    "It''s time "


    * * *


    I quietly walked towards the big hall where the king was sitting.


    That''s where King Rhysand wille to.


    That''s where the marriage is going to be royally announced.


    Aria''s father smiled as he saw me.


    "You look beautiful, dear,"


    Heplimented as he helped me walk up.


    "Thank you, father" I gave him a small smile.


    The queen came forward to kiss my forehead before leading me towards a chair beside her.


    I patiently waited.


    I knew that person was going to be here soon and my heart was beating as it could explode at any


    minute.


    There were a lot of people in the hall.


    I don''t know any of them.


    They were all drinking something and chatting to each other.


    A guard suddenly came into the hall.


    "King Rhysand has arrived! "


    He announced loudly before walking away.


    The hall erupted into whispers.


    We all stood up and I felt my heart skip a beat.


    This was it.


    He was here.


    All the murmurs and whispers around me faded out into the background.


    I couldn''t hear anything other than my heartbeat as I saw him step into the hall.


    He walked in proudly and elegantly.


    He was tall and had a sturdy, muscr physique.


    His steps were loud and his raven hair flew in the light wind as he walked.


    I could feel his dominance all the way up to where I was standing even if he was at least sixty feet


    away from me.


    I could see his face as he got closer.


    His eyes were golden and intense.


    He had thick eyebrows and luscious lips.


    He looked like his face was sculpted by God himself with great thought and effort.


    I couldn''t believe they were calling such a gorgeous creature a monster.


    He looked heavenly and beautiful.


    I gulped as he got closer and closer to us.


    His face was expressionless, not even a trace of emotion was present.


    I couldn''t read what he was thinking.


    He looked cold.


    His face gave nothing away.


    He walked straight, ignoring all the greetings from everyone.


    His eyes were set on my father.


    Atst, he walked up towards the throne and greeted my father.


    Even though he didn''t even look at me, his presence left me breathless.


    I watched my father wee him as I just stood there in awe.


    I couldn''t take my eyes off him.


    I saw his eyes shift to me when my father talked about me.


    I inhaled deeply, unable to even breathe properly as I saw his eyes pinned on me.


    His deep, golden, emotionless eyes traced all over my body, making me squirm like I was naked in


    front of him.


    I bit my lips and stared at the gorgeous yet dangerous-looking man in front of me.I saw the side of his


    lips curl upward.


    It wasn''t much.


    You would have missed it if you weren''t paying attention.


    It was barely noticeable.


    Just a slight smirk.


    But I knew it the moment I saw it....I was in deep trouble....
