As we returned through the forest, Prince Alexander carried me in his strong arms, my body reluctantly resting against his chest. The pain had dulled, but his touch sent a jolt of warmth through me as if his strength and presence were a balm to my weary soul—even though I tried to deny that!I hate feeling like a damsel in distress. But I can't do anything at the moment since my ankle was injured and hurt like hell. I must bear this torturous turn of events."Forgive me, Princess, for my lack of manners. I am Alexander from the Kingdom of Eldoria." Alexander introduced himself, breaking the silence between us from the aftermath battle with the Yeti."So you are the 'famous' crown prince?" I asked nonchalantly, feigning arrogance to the man who had saved my life.Alexander bitterly smiled when he was being labeled as 'famous'. "It seems like my reputation has spread to the far kingdom of Astoria. I hope nothing you hear causes confusion.""Depends..." I purposely hang my words before changing the subject. "So you already know where I came from?""Before I came to your aid, we encountered your knights searching for you," he elaborated.That explained how he could be at the right time and place, becoming my shining knight in armor!Our path led us not to Alexander's camp but to the camp of Sir Gregory Everhart, my loyal escort knight. As we approached, we were greeted by my lady-in-waiting, Lady Evelyn Sinclair, who anxiously awaited my safe return."Evelyn!" I called out, relief flooding my voice as I spotted her familiar face amidst the camp.And after that, upon realizing it, how the heck did I know her name? Does Elysia's memories and knowledge exist within me? Luckily, the realization was pouring into my head bit by bit following the plot. So it is not too overwhelming.I turn my attention back towards Evelyn. Her eyes widened with a mixture of concern and joy."Your Highness! Thank the heavens you're safe. We were so worried."Prince Alexander carefully lowered me to the ground, and Evelyn rushed to my side, her gentle hands reaching out to support me. I leaned against her, grateful for her presence and the familiar comfort she provided."Thank you, Evelyn," I whispered, my voice filled with genuine gratitude. "It was thanks to the bravery of Prince Alexander and Sir Gregory that I made it back unharmed."Evelyn's eyes flickered with curiosity and intrigue as she glanced at Alexander. "Your Highness, we owe you a great debt. The kingdom shall be forever grateful for your assistance in rescuing our beloved princess." After she looks at the coat of arms on their shield, she already knows who the handsome man is.Alexander offered a humble nod, his gaze never leaving mine. "It was my honor and duty to aid Her Highness Princess Elysia. I'm glad I could be of service."As the camp bustled with activity, Evelyn guided me to a makeshift resting area, ensuring my comfort. Liam and Gabriel approached, their faces etched with concern and relief."Your Highness! We were so worried," Liam exclaimed, his voice filled with genuine relief.Alexander smiled gratefully at him. "I'm alright, Liam. Thanks to the bravery and valor of Sir Gregory that we were able to defeat the monstrous Frostbane."Gabriel's eyes flickered with admiration as he nodded. "Indeed, we owe him a great debt. His assistance has been invaluable."The ache in my ankle was now secondary to the overwhelming emotions that swirled within me after watching the three men converse. As I still remember reading the book, Gabriel was described as perceptive, typically composed and thoughtful. His eyes were sharp and observant as a knight clad in shining armor and wielding a sword. He always scanned his surroundings and looked for clues. His face was calm and serious, rarely showing any emotion. He was a man of few words, but his words were always wise and meaningful. He had brown hair that was cut short and neat and brown eyes that matched his hair. His body was muscular and fit but not overly bulky. His voice was deep and clear, commanding respect and attention. His face was oval-shaped, with a straight nose and thin lips. He was not handsome, but he had a certain charm and charisma that made him attractive.As for Liam, he is known for his quick wit and sharp intellect, and he is always the charmer. He was a knight dressed in colourful clothes and carrying a dagger. His eyes were bright and lively, always sparkling with mischief and curiosity. His face was handsome and expressive, often smiling and joking. He had a smooth and charming voice that could persuade and flatter anyone. He had blond hair that was curly and messy and blue eyes that contrasted with his hair. His body was lean and agile but strong and flexible. His face was heart-shaped, with a cute nose and full lips. He was attractive, but he had a certain charm and charisma that made him irresistible.Both men's looks are not far from the description in the book. The author has described them rather justly. Then, I turn to look at Alexander, analyzing his attributes.He is the prince of Eldoria, a handsome prince who embodies physical beauty and prowess. His features are chiseled and perfect, his eyes are piercing and captivating, and his aura is charismatic and magnetic. He has a tall and muscular body, a deep and seductive voice, and a confident and charming smile, befitting a womanizer who can make any woman fall for him with a glance. He had silky dark brown hair and violet eyes, the most attractive, beautiful, and mesmerizing eyes anyone had ever seen. His body was sculpted and flawless, a masterpiece of nature. His voice was rich and velvety, which could make anyone melt with a single word. His face was symmetrical and stunning, with a straight nose and plump lips. He epitomized beauty, which could make anyone swoon with a single look. A perfect man but with a character flaw.His good look will never diminish the hatred that I have toward him. I will never forget what he did to Princess Seraphina and Princess Ariella in the novel.Suddenly, Alexander turns to look at me. I was caught staring, but it was too late to avert my intense, hateful gaze. My heart started to pound, and my face turned crimson red. Surprisingly, Alexander holds my gaze fondly. My brow creases for a few seconds. With my face still flustered, I turn away, breaking eye contact.Evelyn, ever the astute observer, caught the unspoken connection between Alexander and me. Her eyes sparkled with excitement and anticipation, yet she maintained her composure, silently acknowledging the unspoken bond that had begun to form.I wanted to say something to Evelyn to stop her from making assumptions. But I brushed off the idea. As I settled into the camp, surrounded by friends old and new, my thoughts drifted to the mysteries that still lay before me—the enchanted forest, the newfound allies, and the burgeoning connection with Prince Alexander. Little did I know that this journey was only the beginning, and the path ahead would be filled with both peril and enchantment.With Prince Alexander, Liam, Gabriel, Sir Gregory, and Evelyn by her side, Elysia was ready to face the challenges that awaited them, uncover the truths hidden within the pages of this remarkable tale, and explore the depths of a love that defied the boundaries of time and place.Together, they would navigate the twists and turns of this extraordinary adventure, our bonds forged in the fires of bravery and shared purpose guiding us through the uncharted territories of destiny. As the camp settled into a peaceful rhythm, Elysia couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation, as if the story had only begun to unfold.Arghh... seriously, Mr. Narrator? This body and thoughts belong to Elysia. Who am I to say otherwise? It's like a curse I can't escape! At least for now, I have to bear this until I find a way to get home.
