Melting his frozen heart

chapter 9

I follow Mason without any hesitation, he takes me to one of the halls ''lookup'' I did just that, it was a huge picture of the queen, she was so pretty, he had blonde hair just like me, she looked a lot like me actually

''wow'' he places his hand on my shoulder 

''you see, you look just like her, if that isn't as evidenced enough I don't know what is'' I just smiled looking at the picture, my real mum

_______ '' Thank you so much,Mason,i really appreciate''

''anytime sis, if you need anything you can just call me okay? my room is just opposite yours and next to Madison''

''sure thing'' I wave him bye, and enter my mums' room ''mum are you okay?'' my mum was sitting up on her bed and watching T.V 

''yes I am, this place is just great, I never imagined''

''I know right, I mean our whole house is your room alone'' we both laugh

'' victoria you know I can't stay here right?''

''what, mum why?'' Not this again

''it's your life, not mine''

''but you're my mum, please just stay with me'' she gives me a hug

                                         KINGDOM OF GRENDILE

''my queen, she lives, the princess of Othekios'' said an old blind wrinkled lady 

''you sure, are you certain, I thought she died 20years ago'' the beautiful brown long-haired queen said 

'' word is that king Robert has found his lost daughter, the ice queen men failed to execute her''

''well that's good news then, we shall meet with the king and explain things to him, the late queen my dearest friend has already agreed to it, he cannot decline''

''yes your highness, hopefully, Hopefully, she's the one who can finally free our Poor prince''

''I know, I don't think I can keep it from everyone anymore'' The old lady bows and leaves, The queen turns to the Prince ''how are you holding up son''  The platinum blonde-haired prince with ice blue eyes replies

'' I'm okay mother, who is the girl you speak of''

''shes the on!y one remaining to break the curse'' he chuckles

''And how would she do that?''

''easy honey, she just has to fall in love with you and you have to the same'' he laughs

''you're a really funny mother, you know I can't feel  emotions and if she learns of my curse and sees the monster in me, she'll definitely run away, they all do''

'' just leave it to mother okay?''

__________ I was back to my room, I can't believe mum still thinks of leaving, just great. I fall on my bed

''princess'' laurel says as she enters the room

''yes?''

''you have a visitor, they are downstairs I was asked to escort you''

''uhmm okay'' I follow her

I see the Madison and Mason sited in the meeting room, I see a Man and Woman, they look like they're in their late 40s or early 50s, they both smile brightly at me when they see me

'' Victoria, I'll like you to meet your aunt and uncle, these are your mum's siblings'' The king says referring to them, they both stand up and take my hand

''uhmm nice to meet you'' they look deep in my eyes, the lady touches my face

''wow you look just like your mother'' I look at Madison, she just glares at me and looks away, I let out a sigh, I guess she would never like me

we all talked, mostly about me, it's really strange I mean it still feels like a dream, am the lost princess, a girl who never even dreamed about anything near being a princess. days past and it was just the same thing over and over, I woke up ate talked to Anna on the phone and showed her around through video call, tried to convenience my mum not to leave, and also tried to talk to Madison but it didn't go well. that was how my days went, well except today, today is the day I get ready for tomorrow.

I was being measured, is my first time having 6 ladies measure me

''what's your favourite colour'' one of the seamstresses asked

'' gold'' they all look at me '' or pink?'' they all look at each other shrug and continued what they were doing

''try going on a diet so you won't look so fat on your dress princess'' one of them said, okay that's kind of offensive, sure am not skinny but am not fat either, I worked in a bakery what did a expect, a model?

''all done princess'' phew am tired, I've been at this for a while now, laurel walks in

''princess, we must go to the crown designer''

''a what?''

______ a flashlight shines on one of my eyeballs, and if you're guessing, yes is the crown designer 

''hmmm, bright green eyes'' she writes it down, I don't even know why a crown designer is necessary, can't I just get like an already made crown '' okay princess, you'll get it by tomorrow in time '' 

''uhmm alright'' i turn to Laurel ''are we done now''

''not quite yet princess, your hair'' arrrg kill me, am so tired

_______ ''you have nice thick hair princess'' the hairdresser said

'' thank you''

''do you like curls?''

''uhmm not too curly''

''okay I have a nice princess hairstyle for you''

''uhmm okay, as long as you don't cut my hair though'' she laughs and whispers to one the girls 'get the scissors' she continues to laugh.

*okay, I had to admit it was really pretty ''wow I love it, but how can I keep it till tomorrow?''

''oh no your highness, this is just to know what we'll do tomorrow, we would redo it'' so in other words they just wasted my time. my hair looked like Belles from beauty and the beast

I didn't hesitate to go to my room immediately I was so exhausted. I hear a knock on the door, please I can't bear another one '' whose there?''

''it's mum''

''come in'' I bury my face in my pillow, I hear the door shut

''tough day huh?'' I nod '' tomorrow is the big day, you'll be with your real family'' I raise my head to look at my mum who was next to me 

''you're also my real family mum''

'' you know what I mean victoria'' she pats my back '' you know I've always prepared for this day, just thought that you'd be madder at me cause I hid the truth from you''

''mum come on, sure I was angry but am over that''

''I know, am happy I got to be your mum victoria, I just wished I gave you a better life''

''mum come on don't say that'' I give her a hug, she hugs me back, we separate from the hug she cleans her tears and stands up 

''I should leave now for you to rest, you have a big day tomorrow'' I nod and smile at her

''okay good night mum'' 

''good night dear''

**** '' VIC, can you hear me?'' a deep masculine voice whispers in my ear

I slowly opened my eyes '' I was on the floor, there was blood all over his body and face''

''huh?, are you-whats happening'' there was a sword on his chest, the way he was on top of me looked as if he saved me from it, I couldn't see anything everywhere was pitch dark

''Victoria, don't forget me'' he collapses on me, I hold him, his body was so cold 

''no please don't die'' I cried,'' I don't even know your name'' I cried out for help but who was I kidding am dreaming, and this kind of dream I can never change it, never could
