My name is Astraea . One question I keep asking over and over is : how have I arrive here? What happened? How bad can it be again ? How my life have changed and be this bad ? Being far away from my family, feeling traps in my own body , being married to a man who doesn't love me . Who kinda have my life in his hands because he is the king of this kingdom. And now you must be asking: what happened right ? To answer your questions, I will have to take you in the past .
My name is Astraea I am a normal young woman who dreams about life and love and adventures and having impact on people live . But now my life is not exactly what I want . Actually it is the opposite of what I want . I have to make many changes to create and live my dream life. So, I start looking for opportunities even if they are very far away. I heard about the kingdom of Zephyrium . A very beautiful kingdom with charming people and everything is better because of the good reign of the royal family. The royal family is composed of the king: Gerald :480 years old, the queen: Anastasia :444 years old , their first born: prince Nathaniel : 25 years old and his wife Sofia 24 years old , the princesse Isabella and the prince Arthur are twins and they are 13 years old . They all sems good person but the prince and his wife looks more strict . The kingdom of zephyrium is a beautiful place with an extravagant palace, large garden , luxury apartments and restaurants. The environment is clean , new and polished . It is the best place to live for everyone. Based on my research , i love it. i think it is a good place to live and I hope I get the opportunity to arrive there . Therefore, I spend many hours looking for jobs . I applied to many different companies and industries. I also listen to affirmation which states that: I have a job at the kingdom of Zephyrium . I Listen to this affirmation everyday over and over . The subconscious mind doesn't not what is true or false . It takes everything as true .
Finally,Days later , I can say that my hard work have been rewarded and listening to this affirmation works because
I just receive a news that I can finally travel to the kingdom. I can not believe it. This dream become true so fast. I am so happy and grateful that I have what I wanted . As soon as I heard that, I quickly began packing all my belongings with excitement and start looking for apartment I will very soon be living in. I found a nice perfect appartement with 2 bedrooms and there is 2 balcony. The view is so beautiful . Everything is perfect. 3 days later , everything was ready and i am about to Tavel . I enter on the plane and relax . I am so impatient to arrive. Hours later , I finally arrived. It was more magnificent than I thought . The city is so big, the roads are very clean and the buildings are big and tall . I was lost in mind when I heard someone say:
hello.
I turn back quickly and say : hello .
He says:
you are Astraea right ? I am the driver :Adrian . I am here to pick you up .
I reply: yes I am . thank you for coming.
my pleasure .can I ?
He was looking at my suitcases and I say: yes sure . Thank you .
So he help me with my things and we arrive to the car. He open the door for me .
after you .
Thanks .
The whole drive was very good. Adrian seems to be a really nice guys .
Some minutes later He told me:
we have have arrived.
Ok, thank you so much Adrian.
you're welcome and here is my number ; call me if you need anything.
Thanks ; I said and get out of his car . I took my suitcases and went to my apartment.
I was so tired . I just quickly take a shower and go to bed .
6:00 am.
I wake up , I was feeling better. This look like a dream . I thought it was a dream at first but it's not . This is my new reality.
I decide to get up from the bed and make myself a delicious breakfast . I put an affirmation video and start eating. listening to affirmations help to reprogram the subconscious mind to think more positively and manifest the life we want for ourselves. That's why I listen to them as much as I can. After eating, it's time to take a shower.
I go to the bathroom to start morning ritual. . I start cleaning my body with a very hydrating antibacterian cleanser. I love this body wash so much . It remove all the bacteries while hydrating the body and it smells so good . I wash my body twice to make sure I am 100% clean and will stay fresh through the day . Then , I do my skincare . I start by washing my face twice with an hydrating and purifying cleanser. Then I use a tonner , follow by a face serum . After that , I use a perfumed hydrating cream . Which smell very good also , and finally, I use a sunscreen. As I am human, I need to take care of my skin and to stay young and age slower , sunscreen is the most important step in the skincare .
Now it's almost time for my job meeting with the boss . so I decide to call Adrian to help me go there because I don't know where the company is. hello Adrian how are you? I said?
hi. i'm fine thank you. how are you?
i'm good . I need to go to a meeting .can you please accompany me because I don't know where it is .
Of course , I will be there in 30 minutes. Is it good ?
Yes ! that's perfect. See you soon . I said .
30 minutes later, Adrian arrive . After, 15 minutes of drive , we are finally in the company.
I say: Thank you so much Adrian .
you're welcome .
I walk into the building and say hi to some people until I arrive to the reception.
Hello, I am here to see the Dr Alaric Alexander. We have a meeting .
What is your name ? She ask .
My name is Astraea. I reply.
She looks into the computer and say : yes. you have an appointment in 5 minutes. Let me walk you to his office .
Thanks . I said . She walk with me for some minutes .we finally to a door . She says that In some minutes the boss will call .
Okk perfect . I say .
And some minutes later . Dr Alaric saltzman open the door and invite me in .
Hello Ms. Astraea. How are you ?
Hello dr saltzman. I am doing good . So nice to meet you. I reply.
Please have a sit . He says .
Me: thank you .
We pass half an hour and he explain me everything I have to do for my job . And there was nothing that complicated . After an 1h with the doctor Alaric , I know everything I have to do in this job , Adrian comes to pick me and we go to the museum. There is a huge art work of the royal family . They are so beautiful . The king and his wife are exactly what we call : royal couple . The prince also look like a powerful futur king . And honestly , he is very handsome. His wife is a very beautiful princess but she looks cold in the photos. And the twins are so innocent . I love them even without seeing them in real . An hour later, Adrian ask me :
Want to go for lunch ?
Me: Yes .
We went to a very good restaurant. They were so welcoming and gave us the menu to choose the foods . I did not really know what to chose because there were so many . But I can count on Adrian as always . And he did not deceive me . The food he told me to choose was delicious.And then we decide to walk around this beautiful city. Hours later , we visit many places and I am a little bit tired now .
You seems tired now .
I am . I reply .
So maybe it's time we go . I will quickly grab some food for dinner .
Me: ok.
When Adrian left, I saw a dress. It was so beautiful and it was my favorite color blue . I walk quickly to enter the shop but as I was walking , I push someone. But I didn't stop and continue . A few seconds , the person grab my arm and turn me . This is how we met.
POV Nathaniel :
My name is Nathaniel . I am the first born son of the king and the queen . Which make me the heir of the kingdom of Zephyrium . Wondering how it looks like ? Well , I grow up with a strict parent . They always make me follow each rules . My father always says that the people who make the rules should be the first person to follow them. So being the heir , I have to be an example . My morning start always the same . I get up at 6 am and go to the gym for training. today being any different, I go to the gym and train with Marcus who is my personal trainer . We did some boxing and fight for a while . After all, every futur king should know how to fight and protect his kingdom . After 2 hours of intense training , It is time for breakfast. So I take a quick shower and arrive to the dining room , my whole family was there .
Good morning family . I said and kissed my mum on her cheek then my sister .
My baby. Said my mum .
Hello . Said my sister.
Hi Nathaniel .said my father . I told you, you should always be on time .
Sorry father . Long time training . It won't happen again .
You always say that . He snapped .
My mum says: It's fine my love as he was training. have a sit .
I sit to the right of my father and he ask : you win at least .
Me: Of course father . You know that I always win . I said .
my sister says: Ok . Look at him speaking. She said smiling
Me: You doubt it princess ? I ask her
Of course not. she said smiling.
If you said so .
The breakfast was good as always and we all eat in the good humor speaking and laughing.
After , my father and I went to his office and we make some works and we met with some of our subjects and advisors to make meaningful decision about the kingdom and our people . After long hours of work , it was around 6 pm . So I decided to take a walk around the city . I don't need a guard . I am from the royal family and I am pure blood vampire . I am one of the most powerful vampire to live . I was in my mind . When someone pushed me and pass me . How dare he ? And he didn't even apologise. I quickly turn back with my vampire speed and grab him by his arm . The second I did that , I regret it . It was actually a woman.She looks a little bit terrified , chock and confuse . Don't touch me, she said and remove her arm . I am thinking oh my God how dare she speaking to me like that . I take a few steps forward and look her firmly in the eyes . Then, another man come quickly and said : good morning my prince and bow to me . Sorry if my new friend was bothering you . She is new to this kingdom she came yesterday . Astraea, this is the prince .
She looks chock and terrified more again. I am sorry your highness ;she said and bow . I didn't know who you were . This is how we meet .
I look at her again . And oh my God she is so beautiful. Even more than my wife Sophia. Sophia was the most beautiful woman that I have ever laid eyes on. Well, until Now. A pure beauty that I have never seen before.She is like a human angel and a human doll.She looks unreal. No Nate ,you are married.Don't think like that.I speak to myself.Finally,I break the eye contact and say: No problem.Your friend is living in this kingdom so Just make sure she knows the entire royal family members.The man reply :
I actually introduced her the royal family some hours ago, I think because of your long hair , she did not recognise you.
I see. I look at her one last time and continue my road. Her eyes are so beautiful.As I was walking , I think about the past events.I really love my wife Sofia and she was pregnant of my children at that moment when she left.It was a big misunderstanding.She saw me kissing another woman but actually, this woman was my ex and she kissed me without my permission.But I took some seconds before pushing her away so my wife saw it and thought I cheated on her and I couldn't explain her directly because my father requested a meeting at that moment .After the meeting, I started looking for her to explain her but the guards told me that she left. Since this day , we have been looking for her but never found her.Now , I arrive to a bar.I sit down and order a drink.They know me very well here.It is one of the luxury bars that only elite people frequent. I drink and think about a solution for all the attacks my kingdom is facing currently.Some People dislike the monarchy system of the kingdom so they want to end all members of our family.The recent attacks have been a lot.Which mean we have to act now and elaborate a good plan.20 minutes later,David is here.David is the best researcher and a really good spy.He is the person I trust to bring me correct and precise information about almost everything.
hello my prince.
Hello David. I reply. So what's new ?
my prince I found some really helpful informations.The person at the head of the attacks is actually a family.They are also one of the most powerful vampire family .The mikaelson.They are call: the originals. There is: Freya: the oldest , then Finn, then Elijah .Followed by klaus ,then kol . And finally Rebecca: the youngest.They are all 1000years old vampires and original vampires except klaus and Freya. Klaus is an hybride (half vampire half wolf)and Freya is a witch. It is actually klaus who want to take over the kingdom.He is the most impulsive of them.And he wants more and more power.
I see. Then let the best win.So it's war between the mikaelson versus us.Good job David.See you.
my pleasure my prince.he said and left.
So I order another drink and think about everything David told me about the mikaelson . If this family wants to reign my kingdom, then we have a serious problem.a woman come near me. She says sensually:
hello my prince. Hi.I reply.
Is there anything I can do for you ? Everything you want.She said while touching me.I look at her. She is not bad.Follow me . I told her. So we take my car and go to my penthouse. This is where I come when I want to be alone or be with others people in some case . I Hope you get what I mean. we are in the penthouse, I open the door and she said : my prince, let me serve you something. Which drink do you want ? Is it what you are here for ?No. Then come .
She follow me in the bedroom and take off her clothes .And you know what happen.When we finish,She starts speaking: oh…That was so good . I really love it . You know I ..
Ok Stop . Get out .
What ? She said confuse. I don't understand.
What don't you understand ? Get out .Ok my prince .
She get out of the bed and left the penthouse . you might be thinking. That's not good behaviour . Well,First, she Knew I was the prince.So she also knows that I am married. Second , the bar she came in , most woman go there only for one thing,Which is transaction. I didn't gave her from my hands but when she left the appartment to go out , when she arrives to the security, they will give her an envelope full of money. Now , It's time I sleep . I can choose to pass the night in my penthouse or in our palace itself .
Just before falling asleep, the woman I meet hours ago , came to my mind again. I sleep having the image of her beautiful face.
POV Astraea :
I am finally home.I am really tired. So I take a long luxury bath.I put some flowers and oils in the bath to have an hydrating moment. And as I was in the bath, I remember of the prince and what happened. I didn't even saw him and he was so aggressive. At first, when I look at him, i didn't recognise him and I was more like:what do you want? What's wrong with you to touch me? and thanks God Adrian arrive at the right moment otherwise it will have been bad.
As I remember now, he is very handsome and his eyes and his long beautiful hair is so beautiful. When he was looking at me, I don't know but it was so weird and good at the same time.The way he looked at me was like he was looking into my soul and it was so deep. It looks like we had some connection or I don't know. It was weird.
After 30 minutes, I feel relax and refresh. So I decided to get out of the bath. Now,I am doing my skincare.I start with a toner to deeply clean my face. After that, i use a face mask sheet for 12 minutes and follow with a serum , then a good hydrating cream. As a human, we have to take care of our skin for it to be beautiful and not age fast. This is a problem that vampires or werewolves or other surnaturel creatures don't have to worry about. Finally,l put on a beautiful night robe and have dinner. I eat the food Adrian took for me and it was so good as always. Oh my God . I am eating and realise that I arrive since yesterday and I haven't call my family.so, I finish my dinner quickly and call them.
Hello mum.
Hello sweetheart.how are you ?
I'm fine . How are you?
I am doing great baby.
I am so sorry i didn't call yesterday.
No worry .I guessed you were tired . That's why I didn't call also. Otherwise, how is everything going?
Great mama. I haven't been here for long but I love this city so much . Everything is beautiful and nice and luxurious. Let me show you my apartment.
I show her the appartement and we speak for 1 hour.
Then I watch a serie for around 1h and I think it's time to sleep now. So I went to my bed and my eyes closed as soon as I put my head on the bed.
