The numbers we're called *DONT READ THIS IT IS DISCONTINUED AND BAD*

Chapter 16

Over the next week, Axel and I grow closer though he was always hot and cold. One minute the he was straight up rude but the next he was all over me. The thing is, he was only rude to me infront of others though he asked me to tomorrow's ball in front of all the daughters of high houses. 

I had trained with the girls and had played half of them, winning easily. I hadn't played Judy or Ava yet so I was actually looking forward to beating them. Those bitches deserved each other.

When the morning of the ball came around, the queen came into my room and I was rather surprised. She hadn't visited or even talked to me since I had arrived. Usually, she'd just send Zizu to relay messages.

"You are not going with my son to the ball" she says, not bothering to hide how pissed of she looked. 

"Um and why would I not" I say.

"I told you that I'd make sure you will never be the one he chooses at the end of the day and so I need to protect him so his feelings aren't hurt and so that you don't lead him on."

I laugh, so hard that I slap my knee and I rub it still chuckling away. She fumes, unable to do anything in case I pulled something in her, I knew that she couldn't read my mind or force me to speak words that weren't true due to my subconscious silence divine. 

"You-you are protecting his feelings" I giggle, royalty were so stupid at times. 

I put on my best poker face, "No, I'm going and there's nothing you can do about it." I take ahold of her blood and drag her out slamming the door behind her.

A white see-through corset is placed on my upper body, it had white lines going around the build of it with a white material built in covering my breasts. (Cause after all this is not a slut-fest)

The same corset material makes up my long gloves and white bundles of feathers sit on my shoulders, the white feathers also make up the long skirt at the bottom. My hair is curled, pearls threaded into it and a pearl choker lines my neck as well as dangling pearl earrings and braclets.

Very natural makeup is applied and I think that I'm starting to enjoy getting changed into extravagant gowns with expensive jewellery and makeup. I look into my walk in closet and hope to find something that will make my outfit pop, I open a few of the many cream drawers, until I come to the 5th jewellry draw and a HUGE diamond ring sat in one a glass case. Easily worth millions of crowns. I slip it on, it fits me perfectly.

Zizu escorts me to Axel's room where we will walk from to the balcony above the 3rd largest ballroom in this palace. We knock and a grunt tells us to come in. I'm surprised that this is what an Heir's room looks like, it's very dark, almost everything black and there's a few water features, the doors and frames are made of metal and he lays in a black tux on a black sofa. He stares at the ceiling and barely looks at us as we walk in.

"Zizu leave us" he orders. She nods, curtsys and walk out the way we came. Only when she leaves does he look up to meet my eyes. He smiles and sits up, "a little to revealing isn't it?" He asks.

As much as you could see my upper body under the white corset, I didn't mind too much.

I say " No, it's nice and I think it's my favourite dress so far!"

"No, it's too revealing for my girl"

I frown. I wasn't his girl. Nobody owned me, besides I barely knew the guy! Just cause we had a few make out session didn't mean that I was his girl or anything. I ignore this comment and signal to the door. It's only when he gets up that I realise that the tux look amazing on him, it's tight but not too much, I could see the outlines of his toned muscles and his hair is still a mop of a nest on his head. He looks dashing, the price charming he was always meant to be.

I blush, but only internally. I do turn away and I can see out of the corner of my eye that a perfect brow raises and I slowly turn towards him.

"Is something wrong" he asks, concerned. A frown replaces the neutral expression on his face.

"N-nothing" I stammer, in a high pitched voice. To high. 

He chuckles and walks towards me, Axel stops a few centimetres from me and my breathing hitches. He takes a finger and places it on my chin, lifting my head up so I was forced to stare at ice orbs.

He moves his face closer to mine and just when I think he's going to kiss me, he goes for my ear and whispers, "is someone overwhelmed?" 

"Um what are you talking about" I say nervously.

"I know that you were just checking out how hot I looked, well look" 

I gulp as he removes his lips from close near my ear to back to where he was before. 

Axel pecks my cheek before guiding us out the door where Zizu waits.

Phew that was a close one!

Ayo! Tis' I the one and only. Shit getting heated! I feel like Jade and Axel's relashionship is a tad to much when they've known each other for like.... what 2 or 3 weeks? And one of them they only made eye contact 😭😭, it's too CLICHE. Anyways, sorry about that lil rant and also for not posting for like 1-2 weeks. I have been busy as I have been back to school, I hope you enjoyed and I hope that you stick with me until this book is ended. 

Lots of love,
