CHAPTER 12
NEXT DAY
FREYA POV
I pushed the door of Neville’s room and enter silently. I search the room to see if he is here. Then I froze in the wall when I saw him picking in the shelves for books.
Hehehe, I got caught again.
“Oh, you have to sneak like a thief in your own home.” he said not looking at me.
I was so embarrassed that I covered my face in my palm.
“Hahaha, she looks so weird and funny.” I heard Ferxu said.
How dare he said that?
“I’m not meant to walk this way! But my Father and Amber insisted that the bride and groom shouldn’t meet each other before the wedding. They don’t allow me to see you.” I said sadly.
I can’t bear not to see him in a day huhu.
“Your Father is right.” he replied
Whatever I just came here for something. I took off my coat and my white wedding dress revealed.
“The wedding dress is delivered here. How’s it? Do I look good on it?” I ask him excitedly
He looks at me in complete surprise. Then he take a step closer to me without saying anything.
“Say something! I come to see you right after I try it on. I tried so hard to sneak out without being caught by my father and Amber. Tell me. Do I look goo?” I said to him looking at his handsome face.
The he suddenly covered my face in his hands.
“Ahh, take your hands off, I can’t see.” I complain
PRINCE NEVILLE POV
“Ahh take your hands off, I can’t see.” she said pushing my hands away from her cute face.
What’s going on? Why do I feel excited seeing her in this dress? It’s strange that my heart is beating so fast.
“Tell me about your feeling.” she said
I clench my fist and hold myself.
“We are not married out of love after all. Miss Freya, don’t take the wedding seriously. Don’t cause unnecessary misunderstanding. I’m taking my leave” I said and left.
FREYA POV
“My Lord, this is your room! Where else are you going?” Ferxu said running over Neville who’s leaving.
Right. We just get married in the agreement. Freya Methildis why do you take it so seriously?
I left his room feeling hurt and depressed.
ELIZA POV
Damn Freya will hold her wedding tomorrow. Why could she got what she wanted but I couldn’t?
“Did you hear about that? Miss Eliza seduced the crown prince but failed to earn his favor.”
“That’s rather humiliating.”
“If I were her, I would kill myself out of shame.”
Yeah. It is so shameful for her to walk around.”
I heard the maid said. I walk closer to them angrily.
“How dare you defame your mistress behind her back?” I angrily shouted at them.
They looked at me startled and nervous.
“Miss Eliza, we’re sorry! Please forgive us!” they said.
How dare the say that? This bitches!
“Get out! Out of here!” I scream in anger.
Damn it! Ungrateful bitches! I’ll ask Father to kick them out of the mansion.
PRINCE NEVILLE POV
I watched the pond as the water flows in it.
“Your Royal Highness, are you in love with Miss Freya?” Nillan ask
I was stunned in his question for a moment. Then I looked at him.
“No, no need to worry.” I replied
He look at me suspiciously.
“But you looked flustered just now. Not as calm as before, I’m worried that…” he didn’t finished his words when I cut him in.
I smiled. “Freya is unafraid and expresses her likes and dislikes early. Not many girls can be as free and open minded as her. She saved me many times from the harassment. I’m not fed up with her, so just let her do whatever she likes.” I said. “ But I won’t fall in love with her. After the wedding, I will make new plans.”
Right, I need to calm down. How could I have a crush on her? I must get it wrong!
Father and Mother have high expectations for me. I should now let them down
“If so, your royal highness, I will try my best to help you with your plans. Make sure that everything goes smoothly” Nillan said
ELIZA POV
Those bitches is so ungrateful how dare they talk behind my back? I will kick them out later.
I walk into the hallway and then I noticed Prince Neville and his guards near the lake.
I sneak out and eavesdrop in them.
“Don’t worry too much. The place is rarely known and it’s the center of the forest. Only Miss Freya managed to break when she was kidnapped.” his guard said
Freya was kidnapped? Are they talking about the night when I hired someone to kidnap her in the forest?
Why are they talking about thus? Have they kept any secret thre? I have to tell the Crown Princess about this.
I run into the hallway and went to the Crown Princess room.
“Your Grace, your highness!” I called when I am in front of their room.
I opened the door and I saw the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess siting while drinking a tea.
“I have something to report.” I said
The Crown Prince looked at me coldly. “What?” he ask
I take a deep breathe and report what I heard. “I eavesdrop on Prince Neville and his guards. They must have planned something important in the middle of the forest. I know that’s place it’s located in the west mountain of the city.” I said
The Crown Princess didn’t react and wait for the Crown Prince word.
“Leo, keep close on Neville’s two guard 24 hours. And carefully search the area she mentioned.” the crown prince instructed his guard.
The guard left to do his task.
WEDDING DAY.
XANDER POV
A lot of people that is invited into my daughter’s wedding is in the hall already.
“Mr. Methildis congratulations, what a perfect match your daughter and her husband.” said the guest.
I am glad to find a good husband for Freya, now I won’t worry anymore if I died, she has someone to protect her.
“Thank you, please come in.
NILLAN POV
Ferxu and I were walking into the forest heading to our secret base. I feel uneasy like something is happening today. Today is his highness wedding day, everything should goes well.
WOSHH…WOSHHH
“Who’s there?” I hurriedly turn my head when I heard an arrow.
“Dude, don’t be over sensitive..” Ferxu didn’t finished his words when I push him.
“Ferxu, how did you become qualified for his royal highness guard?” I told him
“You…” he said while his body is falling in the grass
Then the black man came out from hiding and there’s a lot of them. Luckily we managed to take them down.
“The Crown Prince men?” I gasped
“They found our secret base, send the message to his highness right now!” Ferxu said while running into me.
Then I saw someone behind the tree escaping.
“That man runs away, I’ll chase after him.” Ferxu stated
“Okay be careful Ferxu.” I replied
FREYA POV
I stepped out of the carriage when we arrived at the hall where my groom is waiting for me.
Finally….
I walked down the aisle and I saw him at the end of the aisle waiting for me. Then I looked at my Father who’s happily looking for me, then the mistress that has a usual ugly face.
“Who’s that person standing next to the crown prince?” I turn around when I heard the guest speak.
“He is bleeding.”
The Crown Prince stand up wanted to leave.
“Your highness you…” Father didn’t finished his words.
“Mr. Methildis I have something important to do, please excuse me me, congratulations again.” he said and leave the hall with his guards
PRINCE NEVILLE POV
Why is he hurried to leave?
Then suddenly the door in the right side flew opena and Ferxu entered panicking.
“Your highness, something bad happened! The Crown Prince men managed to found our secret base.” he reported.
FREYA POV
When the Crown Prince left, ferxu entered the room next and whispered something to Neville. Is something happened? Damn it! Today is my wedding day!
I looked at Neville. Why he doesn’t look very good?
“What’s wrong?” I ask him
He just directly walk towards me and grabbed my hand then dragged me.
“No time to explain! Follow me!” he said
What happened? Why is it so hurried? In all other day why is it today that it’s my wedding?
He hold me so tight, it hurts.
“Eh? Why does the groom take the bride away?”
“Are they running away from the wedding?”
I heard the guest says.
“What are you doing?” Father shouted
But we continued walking until we’re outside of the hall.
“Freya, hold tight.” he said and help to ride in the horse then he get up too .
”Hold me tight!” he said hugging me while holding the horse rope to control the horse.
So I hold him tight.
“Let’s go.” he said
THIS PERSON POV
“I have felt that someone is built a secret here.” Minister Miles said. “ Siege the place.” he shouted.
The guards with him follow his instruction and spread in the place.
Nillan is standing in front of of them preventing them to go deeper.
“Who dares to break in.” he shouted
While Ferxu instructed the workers in the base to transfer the materials and the weapons they made.
“Be quick! Hurry up! Move these things away, we’re running out of time.” he said
Then the workers hurriedly carry all the things and transfer it to the other side that is away from the place.
FREYA POV
We arrived in Neville’s secret base and a lot of people is already gathered. So many troops here? The secret base must be exposed!
“Your highness, why don’t you attend my wedding but to this place?” Neville carrying me out of the horse.
The Crown Prince is standing in front os us.
Why is he here?
“The same question for you. Why don’t you complete the wedding ceremony but take your bride here?” the crown prince said
Neville pull me closer to him.
“Why did you seize my property without my permission? You really crossed the line!” Neville angrily said
“Help me steal the time.” Neville whispered
If they found the secret base….. Well, I have to do something.
“Right. Your Highness, this was my place before but I give it to Neville as a wedding gift! Why do you take soldiers to besiege the place?” I confidently said
He smiled at me arrogantly. Let see how long you can smile in front of me.
“A gift from you? Fine, the Methildis Family and Prince Neveille will get punished” he directly said
Punish? How dare he said he would me and my family? He is just an arrogant Crown Prince who wants to take everything away from Neville I won’t let him do this.
I smirked at him. “Your Highness, do you really think you can punish us without a reason?” I calmly said.
“It doesn’t matter! I am more important to my Father than you.” he said
“Your highness, we’ve found an underground passage!” one of the guard said
“Search it!” The Crown Prince shouted.
Then the whole troop went to the area. They arrived at the place where Amber and I fall from the hole.
“Take this away, prince Neville has made weapons in secret to plan a revolt….” he didn’t finished his words when the guards open the barn and saw the vegetables.
Hump, he was so confident that he can find something here.
“Go ahead! Search everywhere.” the crown prince shouted.
Then the troops search every corner of the place but found nothing but vegetables.
“Your Highness, we only find vegetables here!” the guard reported to the crown prince.
Then I walked closer to him.
“Your Highness, I’ve told you that I give this place to Neville as a gift. Because he has a lot of servants, I’d like them to grow vegetable here and sell it to the market.” I said
He looked at me pissed off.
“But Miss Freya can you explain why you don’t grow vegetables aboveground but here an underground passage?” he said
I looked at him. “Underground passage? No, this just a cellar. This is where they store the vegetables they harvested. Is there anything wrong to store a vegetables in a cellar?” I ask him
This arrogant Crown Prince is really annoying, he’s getting into my nerves.
“Your Highness what should we do?” Minister Miles ask the Crown Prince.
The Crown Prince face darkened.
“Your Highness, Miss Methildis. Lord Methildis sent me to take you back to complete the wedding ceremony.” Ferxu came running
Then he smiled at us saying “Your Highness, we have moved all the weapons in the standby warehouse.”
And with that Neville smiled.
“Let’s go!” the Crown Prince said angrily.
Then we went back into the hall for the wedding. Why did this in our wedding in all other day?
“Your Highness, welcome back! You’ve already got your things done?” Father ask the crown prince but he just ignored my Father.
Tsk, what an arrogant man he is.
“They’re back?”
“How wayward they are.”
“Come and Go as they wanted. Looks like they haven’t taken the wedding seriously.”
“Yeah.”
I heard the guest says. Then Father looked at me saying “Look what you’ve done.” But I just smiled at him, hehehe.
“Sorry for this. Now that they are back we can continue the wedding.” Father said
Then the wedding continued again.
