"Love is a willingness to prioritize another's well-being or happiness above your own. Extreme feelings of attachment, affection, and need. Dramatic, sudden feelings of attraction and respect. A fleeting emotion of care, affection, and like etc. If you love someone you are so willing to give up everything just to be with him and see him," I muttered.
When I said this memories of me sitting in the volleyball matches just to see him win, and when he won I was more than happy for him and me. I remember talking to him every day. We were the best of friends. We would walk home together since primary, yet I failed to notice when my feelings for him changed. When I came to terms with this feeling, it was too late. He was already dating an older girl- our senior in school. I suppose he didn't have the same sort of feeling I had for him. Since my parent's death, he was the only one who was with me until that very day I came inside the novel. Yet I still didn't manage to tell him my feelings. One-sided love is so painful yet sweet sometimes. Sweet that he will never know. And painful because he doesn't know. If I had a chance again, I would like to tell him about the love I had for him...
Oh, I miss everything in my world. I wonder if I would ever get to return to it.
"Camilla, why are you crying?" Damian asked as he used his fingers to brush my tears away. "I'm not sure," I lied whilst wiping my tears away. I've been in this world for about 3 months now yet I still haven't let it go yet. I must've felt a bit too emotional hence I cried. The other two looked at me as if they didn't believe me. But they didn't say anything to contradict me.
"Anyways," I began to get them away from the previous topic. "What I'm trying to say is that you should go for it. Don't wait until you regret it," I advised as she nodded. "It's getting late, you guys should head back. I need enough sleep for tomorrow," I ordered as they both made their way back to their room. Before Damian left he said something really strange "The dead have passed away. Don't look backwards but head forwards,". I did not understand what he meant when he said this. I suppose I'll ask him later.
When they all left I finally hopped into my comfy bed. It was like sleeping on a cloud. It was quite a contrast to the bed I had at home and in the orphanage. Not long later I fell asleep dreaming about the fun times we had together...

Lexi POV:
How exactly did she find out I liked the third Prince? I've never told anyone. It's so weird but sometimes I think that she knows everything about me. Like the time with me and my father. She was only here for one day yet she made me and father have a long talk. One we should've had many years ago.
She's a weird person. But I can't sense any danger coming from her. I don't think that's the right way to explain it, but it's a really weird feeling. When people are in her presence they easily capture her way of thinking. She will make a great Princess one day.
So should I tell the third prince how I feel about him? I mean we aren't even that close. I think we can become friends first. Hopefully, we can progress into something a little more later. But now I think friendship could satisfy me.

Damian POV:
Why do I feel like Camilla isn't telling the truth?
When she gave that advice to Lexi, it felt like it was coming from her. But there's no way she could've liked someone already. I mean she didn't like anyone in the orphanage. No one else was courting her, well apart from Dylan. I don't understand why he liked her. I mean the old her was so mean but her now is much more kinder. And I don't think Dylan's harassment could be called 'courting'.
When Camilla becomes thirteen she will probably become engaged to me. In the end, I really don't want to send her to exile in the cold north again. So, I definitely must tell her that I don't like her. I've someone I like. So there's no way we can get married. Hopefully, she'll understand and we can cancel the engagement. I mean if she meets someone she likes and wishes to cancel the engagement, I'm willing to do that for her.
I wonder what the future holds for all of us. When will I get to see Eveline again? I wonder how she's doing right now...
