Surviving the World to Escape Him CHAPTER 52 – POWER WEARS NO CROWN
QUEEN DOWAGER“If we cannot kill the Crown Prince now, then we replace him.” the king furrowed his eyebrows. “What reason will we give the people for doing that.” since when did the royal family need any reason to do anything. “We tell then the Crown Prince asked for it.” he was the people’s prince; the regent position suited him better for what he was doing.“We will name him Prince Regent, let him serve the people but the third prince must take the crown prince position.” He frowned. “What? do you not like my suggestion?” he let out a tired sigh. “Mother, I know you mean well but I still don’t see why it must be the third prince.” I knew what he was thinking.He wanted one of the princes he liked to take the position, but what was the use of that when they would be working for him in the end. “My mind is made up; the third prince is perfect for the position.” He stood flickering his sleeve. “Mother, don’t forget that I am the king, I rule this kingdom not you.” I didn’t know why he
Surviving the World to Escape Him CHAPTER 51 – WHEN A PRINCE KNEELS
JULIANA dull ache spread across my chest. Tears stung heavy behind my eyes. All strength left me. I swallowed hard wetting my dry throat. I opened my mouth to say something but all I managed to do was to open my mouth. No words came out. I gave my guard in the corner a look and he left the room quietly closing the door behind me.I looked at my princess kneeling on the floor, making herself smaller and invisible. I did that to her; my words were too harsh and scared her. I forgot her past, I forgot how my kind stripped her of all dignity and made her into an obedient tool. I may have never done anything to her. but I was once a blind arrogant, entitled fool who couldn’t care less about her kind.Royals like me and the nobles with our statuses were and still are the reason normal people like her are treated like tools to be used for our amusement. Guilt and shame were eating me alive. Pressing down hard on my whole being. Things couldn’t go on like this. The kingdom had to change. I t
Surviving the World to Escape Him CHAPTER 50 - NO POINT IN HIDING
HELENA When the matron went to greet Julian at the gate. I slipped inside and hid. I wasn’t ready to see him yet. But knowing he was out there, just a few pacing from me. knowing that we were only separated by a wall got me anxious. It wasn’t long before the matron came back and told us the crown prince wanted to meet the newcomers.I knew then we couldn’t hide any longer. “Princess, what are we supposed to do now?” a tired sigh left me. “Our names were taken when we came in.” meeting him could not be avoided. But that didn’t necessarily mean I should be the one to meet him. “You go and meet him.” he frowned.“Do I have to wear women’s clothes again?” he looked horrified. I chuckled. “No men are allowed here, if you go like this, how are you going to explain it?” I asked, my eyebrow raised in a teasing manner. He had complained the whole way here yesterday when I made him wear women’s clothes.But how else were we both going to be able to get into the shelter. It was better we regist
Surviving the World to Escape Him CHAPTER 49 -SHELTER OF HEROES
JULIAN I was about to leave the Eastern Palace when I finally got news about Helena. It didn’t say where she was, just that she was safe. Relief washed over me as I read the note over and over. I missed her and wanted her with me. but part of me knew that it was not time to bring her into the palace yet. I couldn’t even keep myself safe, I slept in different places every night just to avoid the assassins that kept making attempts on my life. not only that, but I also recently discovered that my grandmother was planning to hand my position over to my third brother. If he weren’t such a moron, I would have given it to him myself.But my brother was spineless and easy to manipulate. What kind of king would he make if he were to become the crown prince? my grandmother was always going to be around, at some point, he would have to stand on his own and lead the kingdom. What would he do then? My grandmother wasn’t thinking about the bigger picture, only power.“Your Highness, where to?” I
Surviving the World to Escape Him CHAPTER 48 – UNDER THEIR NOSES
HELENA“What are you doing?” I caught the guard just as he tied a small scroll to the pigeon’s leg. “I am sending a message to his Highness.” I frowned; “Wait.” My fingers tightened around the edge of the table. Every instinct urged me to run to Julian. If anyone could protect me, it was him. But if the rumours I had heard were true, then even the Crown Prince’s Palace might no longer be the safest place. “Change the message, just say we are safe, no need to tell him where we are.” He frowned but did as told. “Why don’t you want him to know?” I wish I could tell him. By the time we reached the capital, whispers filled every marketplace. Some spoke of ministers changing sides. Others claimed soldiers had begun disappearing in the night. The Queen Dowager’s name surfaced too often for my liking.Until I was sure of the situation, Julian didn’t need to know where I was. Only that I was safe. “Okay, can you at least tell me why we are here instead of his Highness’s house outside the cap
Surviving the World to Escape Him CHAPTER 47 – BLOOD IS NOT ALWAYS THICKER
QUEEN DOWAGER I threw the jade cup I was holding, and it shattered into pieces at the guard’s feet. He dropped to his knees, head bowed deeply. “Who told you to kill people?” he trembled, he was one of men my guards had captured. I wanted to know who had the audacity to go against me. “It was the…”The guard’s eyes suddenly widened. Before I could turn, the whistle of an arrow sliced through the room. thud. The arrow buried itself in his throat. Blood sprayed across the polished floor. His mouth moved once, twice, but no words came.Blood pooled under his head. I watched the dark red circle of blood getting bigger. I tightened my fists; my nails dug into my palm drawing blood. “It is clear that people around here have forgotten who I am.” I slammed my hand hard on the arm rest.“Get in here.” my voice felt foreign even to me, it was like someone else was talking. “Your Majesty.” He gave a bow. “Go, find out what happened.” He straightened. “At once, Your Majesty.” I fixed my eyes on
Surviving the World to Escape Him CHAPTER 7– SAFE HAVEN, ALMOST
HELENA The forest felt different when I was alone in it. not emptier. Just honest. Every sound mattered now. every snap of a branch. Every shift in the wind. Every breath I tried to keep steady. There was no one left to decide what I was worth. No one left to watch. Only the path. Only me.I follo
Surviving the World to Escape Him CHAPTER 6– THE JOURNY
HELENA The silence after his words felt heavier than anything he had said before. I didn’t speak again; there was nothing left to argue with. He had already decided I was something still unfinished and that was somehow worse than being worthless. I needed to leave, get the hell out of there. with
Surviving the World to Escape Him CHAPTER 5– AND SO, IT BEGINS
HELENA Sunrays seeped through the cracks in the wooden walls. It didn’t feel like morning. It felt like survival continued. I woke slowly, my body stiff in ways that made every breath feel like a reminder of what had happened. For a moment, I didn’t move. I didn’t think. Just lay there, staring at
Surviving the World to Escape Him CHAPTER 4 - FRIEND OR FOE
HELENAHe was back, panic flared. Should I run? stupid thought. Where would I go? How far could I get with a broken body and no strength? Begging? Maybe that would work. He was alone now. That had to mean something. He had lied for me. Maybe, just maybe he meant to help. I looked up at him, searchi
