ILLUSION

Chapter 8

The only thing that matters now is to break the curse but how can that curse be broken on them?

How can we break the curse?

“Amber,” I called to her again

He looked up, “Yes, your highness?”

“Do you want to go back to my world? To the real world? Where you can see and feel the warmth of the sun. The birds flying freely in the sky. The flowers and trees. Especially the blue water. Do you want to come come ? ” I asked in a soft voice

Her eyes sparks in excitement and delight. If she tell me how can break it. I will do everything to break the curse and see how beautiful this place is. I wanna see the Alvanticus beauty before it died.

“Yes my Queen! I want to go back there! I want to experience being alive. I’ve been asking for that for a long time. I promised to be good just to see the world,”

I smiled before telling her the last part of my intentions. I noticed her pause.

“Then tell me how to break it,”

Ameerah’s POV

There was doubt in his eyes again because of my question. I sighed then took his hand.

“I can’t help you break the curse if I don’t know how to remove it. Why do you seem hesitant to tell me the truth?” I wonder question

He bowed then replied. “Because you won’t like it. Probably,” he answered weakly

I sighed again before sitting in the bed. “Does this curse have anything to do with me? Is that why you’re hesitant? Because you might say something that will offend or hurt me?” I asked a series of questions

I know those are the only reasons why he is so afraid to tell me the truth. If the reason is not there. I no longer knew him. She bit her lip before nodding.

“Just tell me. Whatever it is,” I said seriously

“Y-Your high���”

“I command you Amber. I want to know the truth. I commanding you to tell me the truth. Whatever the hell it is!” I said in a hard voice

He was about to speak when the door suddenly opened. I froze in my spot when I saw Valdus looking like he was about to kill someone. I was swallowed.

“Your highness,” Amber bowed

“What are you doing two still doing here? Did you already eat?” Valdus asked angrily

I couldn’t answer right away because I was feeling him first. Did he hear what Amber and I were talking about? I swallowed again when he approached me.

I shook then took his hand. He looks stunned by my actions but I didn’t budge.

“I’m waiting for you hehe,” I answered hesitantly

I widened my eyes at Amber. He understood me and quickly disappeared. We eat in total silence when we get there. I couldn”t help but glance at Valdus. He looks annoyed in something. Could that have something to do with Ephraim?

We remained silent. I can’t speak because he seems very serious.

“Ameerah,”

I stopped eating then he turned around. He has this serious aura in his face.

“Why?” I will ask

Did he really hear what Amber and I were talking about earlier? Is he going to ask me now?

“There’s a party taking in here. Prepare for the night with the help of Amber. Everything that you needed was on our room. I’ll see you later,” he explained before standing up.

I was left gaping there. He’s telling me to get ready and he’ll see me later? Where is he going? He just came back ah ?!

“Where are you going? You just came back?” I will ask

He stopped walking and paused for a moment before facing me. I can’t explain the emotions in his red eyes. For something was holding him back. She looks confused.

“Somewhere,” was his short reply

I stared behind him as I walked away. Something was bothering him that he can’t even look directly in my eyes. What’s wrong with that one?

-

I swam from the other side then climbed up. It’s going to be night again and I know that the party that Valdus says will start in a few hours. I’m not really fond of attending royal parties. I’d rather stay in my balcony playing instruments or reading books than mingle with other rulers of the kingdom who have nothing else to do but squeeze their child into me. I put on the robe that was there and then entered the room.

“Valdus! Why is that just suddenly popping up!” I stared at him

He raised his brow so I stumbled. Such a gay! “So I don’t have the right to sit in my bed now?”

I glared at him. I’m just taking a bath but my body is getting hot. The head is heating up! Can I just choke him to death?

“Can you atleast … turn around? I’ll get dressed,” I tried to calm my voice

But looks like he don’t have any plan to budge, “Why would I? Adjust yourself not me,”

I gritted my teeth in annoyance. I’m about to explode! What is this man’s problem? He’s being arrogant again!

“If you’re not a gentleman. Can you atleast fake yourself? Even just now?” My tongue trembles

Instead of looking or turning away. He was lying there in front of me and was still staring at my appearance. I gritted my teeth and clenched my fist in annoyance.

“What the hell are you doing !? Are you annoying me ?!” I kept shouting

One more Valdus! One more! I’ll strangle you to death !!

“No. Just enjoying the view,”

That’s it.

I took the pillow by his side and slapped him. All my annoyance and giggles I poured in there but to my annoyance he didn’t budge even an inch.

“Is that all?” He seemed to be teasing the question

Urgh !!! Can I choke him now ?! How can I behave properly if he is here? No way I would change in front of him. I threw the pillow I had passed on the floor before I picked up what I was going to wear on the vanity table. This man was getting into my nerves and I don’t want to end up being unrespectful in front of the visitors because of this man!

I was about to go into the bathroom when he spoke again. “Giving up already?”

I looked over him before rolling my eyes. “No. I just don’t entertaining assh-le like you!”

He smirked as if he was challenged by my attitude. He returned to his seat and bit his lip. That instantly heated my insides. Gosh! Ameerah! Calm yourself. You should be annoyed.

“Okay. This assh-le can still see you inside that comfort room. Just saying,” He said nochanlant

“What do you want ?! It used to be quiet and now you’re annoying! Are you bipolar ?!” I scream in disgust

I don’t really understand this guy. Earlier I was wondering why he was so quietly done now. He will act like a crazy annoying assh-le!

He shrugged his shoulder, “I don’t know. I liked you seeing this annoyed. It’s funny,”

Funny? If he is happy. Not me! I throw the gown on the floor with her forehead furrowed. I smirked inwardly. Time to give you blue balls my majesty.

“What are you ��� holy hell,” He muttered

I seductively untied my robe then slowly take it off from body. He stared and his eyes widened. Looks like the King fell into the trap.

“Funny? I am not funny your highness,” I said seductively

I walk like a cat in front of him. I climbed on the bed and crawled over to him. I’m dying inside! I’m already laughing at the way he looks. He looks like a hormonal teenager. He forgot when I sat on his lap.

Trying hard to ignore his growing friend down there, I pressed my forehead to his forehead with my eyes looking at him, unblinking. He gasp and his breath become rugged when I touched his sides feeling his hard body. Your majesty had a well-built body. Hmm.

“You think I’m funny?” I whispered seductively

His adam’s apple move sign that he was gulping enumerably times. I smiled. Blue balls here I come. I went down to his neck and then you kissed him softly. I heard him groaned in anticipation. As my lips went down.

I bit him hard in his collarbone

She shouted at what I did while I quickly left her and put on the gown. I heard him cursing repeatedly and probably throwing daggers at me now. When I fix the gown. I turned to her and smiled sweetly. He stood up and intended to push me when I called Amber outside.

“Amber! Please come in! I’m done getting dressed,” I shouted

She was relieved when Amber entered with two other waiters. One point my majesty. I would laugh when he looked down on me.

“Laugh for now my brat Queen. I’ll punish you hard later,”

I faced the mirror while examining the red gown I was wearing. It was off-shoulder revealing some of my flesh like my collarbone. Rubies were elegantly embedded in the lower body giving a royal look. I can also see the curve of my body because of the belt attached to my waistline. But overall, it was beautiful.

I let Amber and the other maids who help her to put some jewelries. An earrings, bracelet, and clips in my hair that were all made of rubies. Looks like they hate red, eh? And the last and the crown. The wind blew me away.

To be continued…

Chapter 8

The crown was way too heavy like the responsibilities that attached to it. I’m fully aware of having one of this someday but I never imagined having it this early. Yes, I’m a princess and a princess need a prince who will take her to the altar to marry and be a Queen. But, no, I’m not just a simple princess. I want more of my life. I want independence. I want liberty from all the decisions I’ll take.

“You’re ready to go your majesty,” Amber said smiling

I nodded then sighed, “I hate parties,” I murmured before walking out of the room where the queens were actually arranged.

King’s men were scattered all around. When they saw me walking. They are automatically grateful. Since I didn’t know the whole palace. Amber guide me the way to the ballroom. Where is that man?

I remember his threat. I mentally laughed trying to sink in my head that he couldn”t retaliate against me. He’s the rabbit and I’m the turtle. I let him sleep first before walking.

I”m not even bothered when we reach a big door but Amber seems nervous or excited. The two men opened the door and so many people greeted us in their royalty attires. They plastered their smiles and compliments but I just shrugged it off. Some of them were fake but some were genuine.

From a distance, I see Valdus sitting front to his throne. It was located in the higher part giving it a supreme look. His eyes darted at me and he instanly smirked. I was still annoyed with his love earlier so I stared at him.

“The gown suits you well,” His eyes examined my appearance

Although I’m a little lost. I didn”t make it obvious to him. I keep my face stoic while looking at me. I slumped down on the throne next to him with his forehead furrowed.

“Can you atleast act like a Queen sometimes?” There is a streak of disgust in the voice

I glared at him. “Sorry but I am no delicate,” I firmly said

He frowned at me, “What are you saying?”

“I had the beauty of a princess but I have the blood of a warrior. I am no delicate so stop telling me to act like one,” asik ko
