The Crown’s Entrapment

737 Helena



Bella was smiling widely the moment the introductions for the kingdoms ended. She was giddy at the fact that she was going to accompany her sister-in-law to Helion’s encampment later. Already, she was busy thinking of ways she could get Amon’s attention later without making too bold of a move or being too obvious about it. At least that way, he wouldn’t get too much annoyed in her presence, right?

“When are we going to Helion’s camp, Sis?” she inquired.

“As soon as I’m available, Bella. I just need to secure some things and finish some work,” Jayra snorted with a pout. “Unfortunately, I’m not here to laze around like you and Lena.”

Bella laughed at her sister-in-law’s expense. Right, speaking of Lena, Bella turned around to look for her friend. Last she saw, she was just sitting around with their Queen a while ago, and right now, the King and Queen were together walking around and holding hands. She had to admit that she really admired that lovely couple. Their journey together wasn’t smooth since there were ups and downs, but they at least stayed together.

Bella couldn’t help but dreamily hope that she too would have a successful relationship with Osman after everything that had happened. She would endure, and she would definitely get him back if it was the last thing she did.

But back to the task at hand, Bella sighed as she asked, “Have you seen Lena?”

“She’s probably with Seth,” Jayra answered. 

With that answer, Bella went ahead and continued to look around. Eventually, she spotted Seth talking to her brother. Knowing that she was probably close, she turned to her right. And sure enough, a smile immediately formed on her lips when she finally spotted her friend. Although…

“Where is she going?” she whispered with a frown. 

She blinked as she followed Lena’s gaze, her eyes making sure that what she was looking at was real. Surely, it wasn’t, because Lena’s gaze seemed to be directed at Amon for some reason. And not only that, she was walking toward him as well.

Bella could hear her heart drumming inside her chest as she suddenly became nervous. For some reason, she didn’t feel good seeing Lena approaching Amon. She was so bothered by it that she unknowingly walked in Amon’s direction as well.

“What’s wrong with him?” she gasped when she saw Amon sway. Even more, Lena was near him enough to hold onto him.

[It’s not a good sight. Maybe because looks so much like the Queen Fairy?] Poona postulated. [I can feel your jealousy starting to go out of control.]

Bella didn’t respond. Her wolf was right, after all.

“Can I know from what kingdom you’re from, my lady?” she heard Amon ask.

‘Is he interested in her?’ Bella thought to herself before she moved to quickly interrupt the conversation. “Lena!”

Amon turned around at her outburst, his eyes widening upon seeing her approaching with a wide smile. However, her eyes weren’t smiling. In fact, it was more like she was glaring at him the closer she got to them.

“Your Majesty…” Bella greeted him with a curt bow.

“Lady Bella,” Amon greeted her back.

“You know each other?” Lena asked with knitted brows. 

Bella could only shrug at her own pettiness. She knew that what she was about to say was silly, but she simply couldn’t help herself but say it anyway.I think you should take a look at ραΠdαsnovel.cοm

“Of course,” Bella firmly declared. “He’s the man I want.” 

Both Lena and Amon looked at her with their mouths agape. Bella, meanwhile, simply gave them her meekest and blushing smile. 

“It’s a long story, Lena, but I might as well tell you everything now,” she shrugged as she grabbed Lena’s arm and hugged it. “Come. Let’s go back to our camp.” She then turned to Amon whose lips were still parted as she bid him farewell. “We’ll be going on ahead, Your Majesty.” 

Pulling Lena along with her, Bella did her best not to turn around and look at Amon’s reaction. She could only hope that she didn’t come out too aggressive on that exchange.

“What is going on, Bella?” Lena asked her as they walked away. 

Bella bit her inner lip in anxiety. Lena would turn around and look at Amon every once in a while, and she just knew that meant trouble. Perhaps it was her womanly instinct, but she could tell that Lena was curious about Amon.

“He’s Osman, Lena. He’s the man I’ve been waiting for,” Bella began as she strung up a brief summary of what was going on. “He lost his memories, and he has no recollection of everything that happened to him at the moment, but he is Osman. He only found out his true identity as Amon after our accident on the cliff.”

“Oh, he looks familiar to me, Bella. I don’t know… I can’t explain it, but I have a feeling that we knew each other somehow from somewhere,” Lena mumbled as she struggled with her words. “You’re aware that I have no recollection of my past, right? Something feels weird because I can feel a connection with him. I…” 

Bella could feel how anxious Lena was being right now. She had to at least comfort her. “Come now. Let’s see Sis so that she can look at you, Lena,” she suggested the moment she noticed beads of sweat appearing on her friend’s forehead. She also felt cold to the touch all of a sudden as well.

[What is going on? What is she saying?] Poona butted in. [Did she like Amon? Or maybe she felt what you called, ‘love at first sight’?]

[I don’t know, but I feel bothered with what she’s saying,] Bella inwardly frowned. [I’ll talk to Sis about this since she and the Queen were the ones who found Lena.]

[Why do I feel bad about this?] Poona worriedly grumbled. [I mean, don’t you remember that they found Lena’s body the same day that we lost Osman?] 

Bella frowned at that information. Clearly, something was off.

“Bella, I’m really sorry. I don’t want to cause any misunderstandings between us, but I really felt something upon seeing King Amon’s face,” Lena told her, making Bella let go of her arm as they stopped walking. “There’s really this weird feeling that we know each other, and I’m sure he felt it too because he called me Helena…”

“What?!”

“He kept calling me Helena… And for some reason, I feel like his voice is very familiar with how he’s calling me…” Lena continued, her voice trembling with every word. “I feel good being called Helena. It’s as if that’s really my name, Bella. My heart also aches whenever I look at h-him.”

Tears started streaming down Lena’s eyes as she broke down. Caught off-guard, Bella didn’t know what to do.

“Bella… Lena… What’s going on,” Queen Xenia’s familiar voice spoke from behind. 

Her eyes narrowed, Bella looked at her Queen straight in the eye and asked, “Is Lena… Helena? Is she the Fairy Queen of the Element Forest?”

It was the only answer that made sense. Surely, Lena wouldn’t react like this for no reason!
