I know you all are yelling in ya mind for me to write the prince POV
But seriously I've got to write some details down so that you'll not be confused as the story continues.

After this chapter, prince charming POV is next😁.

Aria POV:

I've spent 4 days in this palace and I have experienced a lot Lately. It remains only a day before the prince returns. Every one is happy to see him return home and here I am completely exhausted already with everything.

I'm tired with every hours of dancing, my legs hurts like hell.

I was in deep thoughts when Clara tapped my shoulder.

"Lets gist about random things". She said climbing up to her bed.

"Yeah, lets have some conversation". Maya supported.

Why can't this girls understand that I'm not the talking type of person. Maybe I am, is just getting used to my environment isn't easy for me.

"What's your favorite colour?" Clara asked.

"Orange".

"My favorite colour is blue". Maya said with a smile

"Mine is green". Clara answered.

"Which fruit do you like?" Maya asked Clara.

"Apple".

"I like grapes". Maya replied.

"Mine is pineapple". I answered.

"Aww... That fruit is rear here". Clara cooed.

"Yeah". I answered now laying down on my bed.

"If I may ask what about junior prince, I haven't heard about him since he turned 3 years". Maya asked with all curiosity.

Okay now I'm lost here, who's junior prince.

"Same here, but some maids said he'll return same day with his senior brother". Clara answered.

"Sorry but who's junior prince?" I asked now facing their direction.

"That's the king and queen's last child. Prince Anthony is their first son while prince Kiran is their second and last son". Maya answered with a grin on her face.

Oh men still got a lot to know about this palace.

"How sure are you that the senior prince will return tomorrow?" I asked openly.

Seriously I've got no idea why I asked such question.

"80% out of 100". Maya answered.

"Why?"

"Because his coronation is on Sunday, his parents and royal chief is also expecting him tomorrow. But he might also restrain if he feels like and that's bad".

Clara replied Instead while Maya nodded in apprehension with what she said.

"Okay". Was my plain reply.

"Why did you ask?" Maya questioned.

"Just wanna know. You both trust him soo much".

"Yeah". They both replied in union.

Well I hope, he would return tomorrow and not kill their pride for him. After seconds I drifted off.

"ARIA, ARIAAAAAA... GET THE HELL UP. MRS MARGRET CALLS FOR US ALL". I heard a familia voice screaming like a passing crow.

I sluggishly rolled to the side of the bed opening my eyes lazily.

"Aria common get up". That same voice begged impatiently.

I lazily sat up and yawn while clearing my eyes.

"Why does she seek our presence?" I asked sluggishly to see Maya in front of me like she's going to throw me into a ditch.

"I've got no bean about it. Just get prepared and head to the royal hall. I'm heading there, pls hurry up". She said opening the room and stepping out now closing it bind her.

I got up from the bed went into the bathroom did my usual business and wore my maid uniform then left for the royal hall.

"The two royal sons of the king and queen will be returning today so I want the whole palace clean with no slight dirt. The garden should be extra wonderful for the first son's coronation tomorrow. The kitchen should have a better meal prepared with no useless taste. The throne room should be spotless. Now get to work instantly".

Mrs. Maggie gave orders as we all disperse to our duty post.

I went straight to the kitchen to see the girls doing the necessary.

"What are you all preparing?" I asked studying them.

"Rice and palm kennel stew". Lucy said with a smile.

"And don't worry we can cook this meal properly". Sarah said.

"Okay then after cooking the meat, make sure you pour the water into the stew for better taste". I advised.

"Okay". They chorused happily.

Things happening in the palace is unusual, It's happening because of one man. The prince of this kingdom. Everyone is energetic and I'm so board. I was doing nothing in the kitchen.

We all did our respective duties and we royal maids went out to stand at the entrance of the palace to welcome both princes. Every one was happy and smiling, the king and queen couldn't hide the happiness within them. And here I was glancing at everyone like a freak.

We all stood out there for hours and was wondering if he'll return. Maya was standing by my right and I whispered to her.

"Why haven't he return yet?"

"Don't worry he'll return, maybe something happened on his way. It might be the carriage but he'll definitely return". Maya said confidently about his arrival.

He shouldn't disappointment us here. I here is already giving up about his return.

We stood outside as hours passed by, the sun was already setting and my legs were screaming for survival, we are already tired of standing for hours. Where are the so called princes of this kingdom, I can't sight any carriage coming by. I looked at the king and queen to see a worried expression on their faces.

Those boys should return now and stop putting their parents on worry nerves. In this life, there's one thing I'm certain of, I'll never make my parents agitate about me.

It was already night and no prince came by. I was angry already and also tired. I've made up my mind I'll leave my standing place and go inside. If they ask why I took such action, I don't care what my reply would be.

"I'm already exhausted your highness, standing here is a waste of time more like punishment to us all".

"Are you stupid?" The queen asked. Irritation lacing out from her voice.

"I'm not stupid your highness, you all that have decided to stand here signifies that you all are stupid". I replied.

"How dear you speak to me in such manner slave?"
"Guards, take this rubbish out of my sight and into the dungeon, her punishment is to starve to death," the queen said angrily.

Guards surrounded me, holding me still and dragged me away from their presence as I screamed trying to break free.

I started hearing shout and screams which brought me back to reality. I raised my head to see a royal carriage coming to our direction where we stood.

I looked around to see the maidens smiling and shouting.

The carriage stopped in front of us and the carriage door was opened by a guard inside the carriage.

Then came out a small boy, with brown hair, baby brown eyes and a big smile plastered on his lips. He quickly ran towards his parents and they both embraced him.

"Mum, dad, I've really missed you soo much". The little boy said still embracing his parents and every one cooed.

The boy was soo cute too cute and I was just staring at him still surprised that a little boy could melt everyone here with simple words.

"We all missed you so much Kiran". The king said standing up straight.

"Where's Anthony?" Little prince Kiran asked looking up at his father.

"We have been waiting for him to return for hours and he isn't here yet". The king replied trying to control his anger.

"He'll return". The queen replied immediately.

"How sure are you that your son will return, every one here have been expecting his arrival and there's no sight of him and you tell me he'll return". The king spoke out angrily as the queen stared at him emotionlessly.

The king turned around and went back inside feeling disappointed as prince Kiran followed him inside.

"Listen you all, no one shall leave their standing position until my son return, dare defile my orders and death is your middle name". The queen said with annoyance and also went inside.

"This is bad, so bad what if he doesn't return". A royal maid panicked.

"Shush it, he'll return, I'm sure of that". Another royal maid spoke.

"Hahaha". I laughed out loud and every one stared at me suspiciously.

"What". I asked.

"Why did you laugh?" Tianna asked as irritation was evident on her face.

"Oh, I remembered something funny, I apologies for such behaviour". I lied and everyone removed their gaze from me.

They all have hopes about his return. It's already night... there's no possibility he'll return today. They should all forget about it, I can feel it, he isn't returning today not even by midnight.

We all royal maidens stood outside, as the night became thicker. We never ate any food and we were tired and sleepy. We were unable to stand straight as our legs became tired of its self. We all are facing this torture because of the senior prince hasn't returned. The anger that bubbled within me was angry with everyone standing here.

The king came out and looked around with a down expression as we all pretended to be standing appropriate. The king stared at us with pity looks.

"I apologies for what have happened today and the stress you all have gone through. Go inside eat and rest lets see what tomorrow has for us all". The king said calmly.

We all thanked him and rushed inside to rest for the day.

I was done eating, took my bath, changed into my night dress and laid on my bed ready to travel to wonderland.

"Oh men I'm more than exhausted". Maya said dropping down on her bed.

"Same here". Clara replied climbing up to her own bed.

"It's such a disappointment that the senior prince didn't return today".

I said trying to contend my anger as I remembered we all standing out there for hours because one persons no return.

"Don't take it so personal sweetie, such things do happen". Clara said with a free mind as she packed her blond hair in a ponytail.
Such a beautiful woman with a free heart.

"Well I don't see it like that".

"We shouldn't worry about what happened today. We should all worry about his coronation day tomorrow, who will be crowned the next king, the king can't continue to rule this kingdom, he has reached the time to step down". Maya reminded.

True enough, but why worry about someone who isn't worried about you. If the senior prince did care he would have returned and not to put us in such punishment.

Tomorrow will tell us what will happen. We all are waiting for his return. The question here is will he return?

"ARIA, ARIA PLEASE GET UP, YOU'VE GOT TO GET UP NOW". I
could hear Maya screaming and shaking me to wake up with agitation lacing out of her voice.

"Why now huh... What's it this time?" I sluggishly asked sitting up on my bed.

"He has RETURNED".

"Who has return?" I asked yawning and stretching at the same time.

"Prince Anthony has RETURNED".

His name rang into my head like an alarm clock as my eyes shot wild opened and clear.
He has returned.
His arrival was unexpected.

Finally he has RETURNED.
