chapter 3

Nea POV

I read all the books written about the world of people where they don't have powers, unlike the world I belong to, which is full of magic.

I also learned that our world has a lot in common than theirs. The only difference is that people don't have powers, and their vehicles are not flying dragons of pegasus. What they are riding is a car.

I know what it is because it has a picture and how it works.

Maybe it's good—

"Princess Nea Samantha Ludhiana, dear king is looking for you."

I immediately hid the book I was holding under my bed and stood up straight. I opened the door and Jc, Ama's confidant, appeared.

I frowned when what he said sank into my brain. "B-Why?" I was confused by the question.

'Isn't that right, he didn't let me out because they didn't want to see me? So why now, is he looking for me?

"I don't know dear princess." He said and bowed. I don't know but, sometimes whenever I'm in front of Jc, he respects me. And sometimes, I really don't know.

I stared at it to find out what emotion passed through his eyes for a moment, but I couldn't figure it out.

I straightened my rumpled cream dress and smiled. "Where is Am— the dear king?" I asked after the deafening silence.

He bowed and waved his hand at the green house of the palace. I nodded absently and teleported inside the green house.

I found Father sitting on a bench near many flowers. I smiled and walked in front of him and bowed, as a sign of respect.

"Greetings, your highness." I'm headed for it.

I heard him take a deep breath before he spoke. "Nea. Your fiancé is already settled. After your 15th birthday you will marry him and you will leave here in the Tsuki kingdom. We don't need you anyway."

I was surprised by what he said. Does he mean that I will marry someone I don't even know or love? No way! I will not agree!

"Father! I don't want to! If I'm going to marry anyone, it's the man I love! I can't allow you to marry me to whoever you choose!" I screamed.

I don't care who I talk to anymore. The only thing I really don't like is what Father says. Do they not like me that much? Marry me to the man they chose so that I can disappear forever?!

Why are they torturing me? Why are they only doing this to me?!

My cheeks were numb and tears were about to fall because, I received a very strong slap from Father. I want to breakdown, but it doesn't do anything.

"How dare you, to yell at me! I didn't raise you like that!" It screamed angrily.

I was depressed at what he said. I bravely met his gaze that was killing me.

"Why?! Did you raise me?! As far as I remember I learned to speak by myself! Walk by myself, read by myself and what else. Now you say you didn't raise me like this? Well you're right, because you didn't really raise me!" I shouted to silence him.

"All of you haven't made me who I am today! I'm the only one who made this, I'm the one who shaped what you see now! Me! Me! You didn't do anything else but pass me every time you see me in the hallways, right? right? And I know you don't care about me..."

"But, you're planning on getting married, which I should be the one looking for, you're interfering. Aren't you tired of what you're doing? Because I'm, I'm tired of asking for your attention." My voice weakened because I had lost the strength to speak.

I also just realized that I was crying. I looked at Ama that I couldn't read any emotion or at least what was in his mind.

"I will take my leave your highness." I faked a smile and curtsy, before running out of the green house.

I teleported as soon as I left the green house. I went to my room. My room is the only one that knows what I'm going through, how I cry and cry until I'm tired.

This is the only one who knows. Nothing else. I looked at the necklace I placed on the table. I suddenly remembered the monkey. I shook my head when it occurred to me that I wanted to talk to him.

This is weird. I am clearly becoming attached to that monkey, even though we only met twice. I want him to be my friend but it's impossible.

I just passed the table where the necklace was sitting and went to the bathroom. I immediately soaked in warm water.

I couldn't stop the soft sobs that escaped my lips. It's like a broken record that the incident was replayed over and over again.

What am I going to do? I don't want to get married yet. I would rather leave than marry a man I don't love.

What am I going to do? Will I agree to marry? In hell no way! My decision is final! I don't want to get married yet.

Daritus POV

"Did you tell about Nea getting married?" My husband asked. Today we are here in the living room, with Noah, our oldest son. And Natasha is now clinging to Tyron's arm.

The third prince of Ventus.

"I already said it." I'm frugal. I still can't get over what Nea said.

"Oh, why do you seem sluggish? Didn't we do this to make it go away?"

"Yeah, I just thought of something my love." I tried to smile and looked at Natasha. Suddenly, what he said came to my mind.

'Dad, I want Tyron... I want him to be my husband.'

Sh*t! What am I gonna do? I don't want my sweet Natasha to marry yet. He's still young.

'Think about Nea you moron!' A small voice shouted in my mind. I shook my head and just ignored that little voice. What can I do with that boy?

She's weak. I don't need a weak daughter.
