Is it True Love by Andrea Diaz (essential reading TXT) 📖

a detailed black beading that forms a flattering crisscross waistline and for shoes I just wore some simple black pumps. 

Helen told me to go show her once I was finished dressing but she had not told me where to go so my search for her began. I went downstairs and thought maybe she was in the family room, but she wasn't. I decided to try to go outside and search. I exited through the back door because I doubt she'd be in the front. When I got outside I saw Logan standing alone looking at the beautiful view of the lake. 

I quietly snuck up behind him and hugged him from behind. 

"Nice try but you know you can't scare me." 

He turned as I let go and I saw he had the smirk, I came to love over the years, planted on his face. 

"Couldn't you just play along for once?" I put on my puppy dog face and knew he couldn't resist. 

"Fine. Oh my god Isabel don't scare me like that." 

I furrowed my eyebrows at him and put my hands on my hips. He chuckled then pulled me into a hug.

Damien's P.O.V.

We just rode around for a while then decided to head back to my place.

When we arrived we headed upstairs to my room and Alec went into my bathroom. I walked over to my balcony and looked down.

I saw our guest from Krýo. Then that's when I saw her. It was my mystery girl. Wow, she looked amazing in red. I couldn't take my eyes off her. She looked gorgeous. I was taken out of my daze when I see the Krýo guy turn around. I can feel my heart break when he pulls her to him and they hug.

“So what are we going to do? You want to go eat?”

I turn around and walk back inside.

“Sure, what do you want to eat?”

“Whatever. Lets just grab something then we can watch a movie.”

“Sure.”

We headed back downstairs, we grabbed some drinks and some junk food then headed to the media room.

"Prince Logan"

Isabel's P.O.V.

Logan and I were walking towards the lake when I see a little boy, no older than six. We walk up to him. He looks over at me and stares.

“Your eyes are pretty.”

I smile and look at his sparkling honey colored eyes.

“Thank you. Your eyes are too.”

“I haven't seen someone from Kaf̱tó with blue eyes before.”

“Maybe because I'm from Krýo.”

*Gasp*

“Are you the princess?”

“Yes.”

“You probably miss Krýo, huh? You know since everything is frozen there. I don't know how that's fun.”

“Well snow is fun, way better than plain liquid water.”

“What's snow?”

I smile at his confused look.

“Here, I'll show you.”

I kneel down next to him and grab his hands. I cup them together and put them in the water. I pull out his hands with some water in them and close them covering them with my hands. When he feels the cold he looks at me wide-eyed. I smile and uncover his hands. When he opens them up he looks at snowflake in his hands in awe.

“Wow! You can freeze water?”

“Yes.”

I smile at him but he looks at me and frowns.

“But won't it melt?”

“Well yes but you can always go to Krýo and there's way more snow there.”

The snowflake began to slowly melt in his small hands.

“But my mommy and daddy don't like Krýo. They said I can NEVER go.”

He looks down at the melting snowflake and I frown. I gently grab his chin and make him look at me. I smile and reassure him.

“It shouldn't matter if your parents don't like Krýo. If you want to go then you can go, you just need to wait until you're older. Okay?”

“Okay.”

He gave me a small smile then looked at the puddle of water in his hand.

“Aiden! Come on, we're going home.”

The three of us look up in the direction they had yelled from. It was an older lady not much older than thirty.

“That's my mom. I have to go. Good-bye princess.”

He bowed to show respect then ran off to his mother. I smiled as I see him reach her and hug her.

“You're going to be a great queen and mother.”

I stood up and smiled at Logan.

“Thank you, Logan. Shall we head back inside. I still need to find Helen.”

“Of course. After you princess.”

He extends his arm out in front of us. I smile and head towards the castle.

As we got to the stairs Helen calls to me.

“Isabel, where have you been?” I turn and she smiles,”Well don't you look amazing.”

I smile and walk up to her.

“Thank you ma'am.”

“You know I heard Damien was in the media room with Alec, why don't we go so I can introduce you to him.”

“Well I wouldn't want to intrude.”

“Oh no darling it's fine. Come, I'll introduce you too, Logan.”

She walked past us, Logan and I looked at each other worried and concerned written on both our faces. He followed her and I walked behind him. If I were to meet him it would be better if Logan meets him first.

We head to a room and Helen opens the door. It was black the only light coming from the screen. Helen turned on the light and paused the movie. Then I see two guys turn around from where they were sitting.

Damien's P.O.V.

We were watching some movie Alec had chosen when suddenly the lights were turned on and the movie was stopped. We turn around and see my mother and our guest.

“Damien, Alec come I'd like both of you to meet someone.”

We got up and walked to her.

“Damien, Alec this is Logan. Logan this is Damien, my son, and Alec, the prince of the Fýsi̱ Kingdom.”

Logan bowed then that's when she stepped forward. She looked even more beautiful now that I had her in front of me.

“Boys, this is Isabel.”

She looked up and I couldn't take my eyes away from her gorgeous blue eyes. They were the most stunning eyes I have ever seen. Could this girl be more amazing?

Isabel's P.O.V.

“Boys, this is Isabel.”

I looked up and saw the most amazing man standing before me.

Damien Feron. Gorgeous short, wavy, dark chestnut brown hair, a tan muscular body, and the most amazing misty gray eyes that I couldn't look away from.

“Isabel this is Damien, and this is Alec. You have probably heard of him.”

I look away and look at Alec. He was buff, but its natural since hes from the Fýsi̱ kingdom. He was also tan. He had short straight brown hair and a pair of dazzling jade green eyes.

I curtsied once I realized I haven't said anything.

“Hello.”

“I'm so glad you finally got to meet. Of course your staying for dinner right, Alec?”

“Yes ma'am.”

“Well we should be going. We'll see both of you at dinner.”

I looked once more at Damien then I turned and left, Logan following right behind me closing the door.

“Logan why don't you join us. So Isabel feels more comfortable, I believe you weren't too comfortable yesterday. Don't worry darling, it's fine, I understand.”

“Thank you ma'am I would love to join you, but only if Princess Isabel gives me the order.”

“Oh of course Logan, if Helen allows you, then you have my permission.”

“Then its settled. You will join us for dinner. Come lets go check how everything is going.”

Damien's P.O.V.

“She was pretty. Who was she exactly?”I turn off the light and start the movie then head back to the couch.

“I don't know nor care. She's from Krýo. You could clearly see it.”

Alec quickly looks over at me then looks back at the screen, “Oh shut up. You know you like her. Who wouldn't? Didn't you see those eyes? They just make you want to look at them and never look away.”

“What ever. I bet a lot of people from Krýo have blue eyes.”

“But not like those.”

Though I would never admit to it, I agree with him. She is amazing. Either way I cannot show any affection towards her. Not only is she my enemy but by the looks of it, she is taken.

I must push away any feelings I have for her, I cannot let a girl get into my head. I am the prince and soon I will be the king. Besides my father would never allow anything to happen between us.

Once the movie was over we knew it was time for dinner so we left the media room and headed to the dinning room.

They were all sitting down waiting for us. On each ends of the table sat my parents. Logan and Isabel sat on one side while Alec and I went to sit across from them.

Some time after we began to eat I stopped as I quickly remembered earlier.

“Father, Marcellus informed me of the order you gave him Why are the boys under sixteen still practicing? There is no use of them.”

“We might in the future. People can always change their mind.”

He looked over at Isabel and Logan's direction.

“Well I don't think they should.”

“Well it doesn't matter I have decided.”

“Richard, I agree with Damien. The children shouldn't be put to practice any more. Inform Marcellus as soon as you can.”

My father looked at my mother and knew he could not disagree with her and continued to eat.

Isabel's P.O.V.

During dinner I would glance over at Damien. I wouldn't even realize I was doing it until he caught me. I looked at him at the same time he looked up. He slightly smiled and I looked down at my plate, slightly blushing.

Once we were all done we all walked over to the living room together. As we got there Damien and Alec began to excuse themselves and were about to leave before Helen stopped them.

“Damien.”

“Yes mother?”

“Tomorrow you will take our guest horseback riding. And do not think you can say no.”

Damien turned to look at us then he looked back at his mother.

“Yes mother.”

Both left and headed upstairs. I turn to look at Helen.

“I wouldn't want to bother Prince Damien.”

“Oh of course not dear. Damien would love to take you, he is just very stubborn and doesn't want to show it.”

Helen smiled and I smiled back.

“Well, if you'll excuse us. I believe we should both be getting to bed now. Good night.”

I curtsy and Logan bows then we head off to our rooms.

In the morning I got dressed in some clothes Helen gave me. It was a white v-neck, black riding tights, and a pair of black boots. I put my hair up in a high ponytail then exit my room and went downstairs.

“Good morning.” I enter the dining room and notice neither Alec nor Damien were seated at the table, “Are Damien and Alec not joining us?”

“Good morning dear. They left just a while ago. He said he wanted to do his usual border check before he takes you riding.”

I smile then I began to eat my breakfast.

When I was finished I excused myself then went to find the boys.

“Good morning boys.”

“Good morning Princess.”

They all bowed to show respect and I just shake my head. I never liked them doing that, especially if its just us, but they still do it, usually they just do it to get on my nerves.

“Are you sure you don't want us to go with you?”

“No, it's fine, Logan. I think I'll be fine.”

“What would you like for us to do while you're gone?”

“Do
