His Dark Wizard Princess (Book 2 of the Wizard Series)

Chapter 4

(Veronica POV)

“What are you doing?” Noah asked coming into the kitchen of the guest house we are staying in.

I tensed at his presence, the onion falling down from my hands.

“Ow!” I said as I glared at Philip for throwing the potato.

“Nothing?” Philip said grinning at me.

“It doesn’t seem like nothing” Noah said raising his eyebrow and looking around at the kitchen.

Vegetables lay on the floor scattered and the kitchen was a mess.

“You guys are at it again?” Lion came walking in with a whistle.

I glared at him as he raised his hands in surrender.

“Why the hell are you wasting food? Don’t you know that we are in crisis right now? How can you even think of wasting it especially at a crucial time” Violet said coming inside the kitchen.

“Sorry” I said sighing as I started picking up the vegetables, Philip following behind.

She huffed before walking away; Lion followed declaring to call him when dinner is ready.

“Will you making dinner?” Noah asked as I nodded.

“I will help” he said as I looked at him wide eyes.

“Do you even know how to?” I asked as he shrugs.

“It's always good to start new right?” he said as I smiled and nodded.

“You can cut the vegetable then” I said as he smiled and nodded.

“You too Philip” I said glaring at him.

“What?! Why?!” he said as he paused on the kitchen door. I knew he was going to escape but I would allow that especially after he put me in the wrath of Violet.

“You never let anyone help me while I cut vegetables!” he complained as I sighed and rolled my eyes.

I took a basket of vegetables and put it on the kitchen counter.

“Why the hell is there this much Vegetables?!” he asked shocked.

“Well if you haven’t noticed. It not the usual two of us dinner. There are now 6. Now help him cut the vegetables.” I said as he grumbled and sat next to Noah.

“You both cook and eat together?” Noah asked a bit confused and frustrated.

“Yea. During her school she stayed in my house” Philip said as Noah’s eyes widen.

“But your house is in dark Terrain” he said as I sighed.

“Noah. Philip is the son of that scary bodyguard who followed us when we were young” I said as his eyes widen. He turned and looked at Philip who sat there nodding and grinning like an i***t.

“But why study at the dark terrain” Noah asked.

“Noah. I am a dark Wizard. I need to know about my culture.” I said as he nodded slowly trying to process it.

I felt guilt in my heart as I lied to him.

The real reason I moved to the terrain was to practice controlling my powers. It took a lot of pressure to convince Noah’s parents to allow me to study in dark terrain.

“You two must be awfully close then” Noah said looking at his half-cut veggie.

I looked at Philip as he looked at me.

Philip can also sense it. The amount of sadness oozing out of Noah.

“Let's finish cooking fast. I am tired” He suddenly announced as Philip and I nodded. The rest of the night consisted of silence between us three. During cooking, dinner and even before going to bed.

As I went to the girl’s room, I saw violet on the bed staring at me.

I smiled at her and got on the bed but I could still feel her stare on me.

“Is anything wrong, Violet?” I asked as I looked at her.

“Just leave him alone” she said as I looked at her wide eyes.

“What?” I asked confused sitting up.

“If you weren’t in the picture, Noah and I should be long before dating. All through the training he only talks about you and I thought when you started to ignore him completely, he will be fed up and come to me. But you just won’t let him go” she said as I looked at her in shock.

“You like him?” I asked as she huffed.

“Like doesn’t describe how much he means for me. I love him. And it hurts to see him suffer. It would be better if you just disappear, child of the traitor king” she said before going to bed, her back facing me.

I sat there shocked and surprised at what happened just now.

That night I couldn’t sleep thanks to her. The mark on my back was burning the more I cried.

Guilt and sadness were filling my heart.

Guilt for making Noah falls for such a cursed girl. Sadness because he is suffering because of me.

We are never meant to be.

I am the daughter of his Kingdom’s enemy.

I am a Dark Wizard and he is a White wizard.

But my heart aches for him. This just makes my theory more and more clear.

I am completely and utterly in love with The Future King of White Wizards.
