Chapter 3

Lucy came back with Larkin into the Cabinet, he had a big grin on his face after seeing Tessa being pissed off over Lacey getting kicked out of the castle, and they still have other Princesses to serve tomorrow.

"Laila, you will need to be up before sunrises in the Kingdom because more than likely the Princesses will be arriving by no later than lunch time. Thank you for helping around the Kingdom today, you may now leave."

Laila nodded then left with Larkin behind her as he whispered,

"Does this dear Angel have a broken heart for not being with Lucy tonight?"

Laila turned around then chuckled at Larkin whispering back,

"You know King Xavier would never approve of maids sleeping together, let alone falling for one another."

Larkin turned her around looking deeply into her eyes whispering,

"I am supposed to be with Tessa, aren't I? No matter your feelings towards either one of these ladies, I am supposed to be the settle Knight to marry the Princess of Evigon."

Laila stubbed her toe into the floor then looked up at Larkin as he gave her that stare to make her confess, she finally whispered back,

"Yes, yes, my dad says that you two are supposed to be happily married and have kids here in a few years but with her father King Xavier controlling everything including her faith it is impossible. I have no idea, how I am supposed to gain this possibility of you two to be together."

Larkin rushes Laila to her room as they hear footsteps stomping across the Kingdom assuming it is either Tessa or King Xavier. Larkin huffs and puffs trying to catch his breath as he says,

"Laila, if you are destined to get your wings back by putting me and Tessa together once and for all then let's do it. Take me and her away from this god awful kingdom. Help me and her go to another home out in the woods or something. I am sure there are cabins beyond this Kingdom."

Laila shook her head no replying,

"Larkin, yes, we are on earth but I have no idea what is beyond those doors. I am an Angel not a guider, I have no idea what I am doing to get you two where you need to be. I don't want to leave Lucy either, she is so beautiful and I can't stand being away from her as it is right now."

Larkin rolled his eyes responding,

"You are an Angel that is brought here to bring me and Tessa together, not to fall in love yourself. Damn it, Laila. I have to get a plan to get my Princess back and make sure we can make it on our own from this damn it to hell Kingdom."

Laila sat down on her bed lady like with her arms across her chest replying,

"What do you want me to do, Larkin? Wave a wand around and magically appear a new home for you two. That is impossible, I am not your fairly godly mother. You want out of her father's roof with her than you better come up with something amazing to win her heart or else she is stuck abiding Princess Lacey's heart with a black soul."

Larkin backed up then shook his head responding,

"You got spunk for an Angel, who has no structure of a relationship herself, let alone been with a human."

Laila laughed out loud replying,

"My best friend back at home is in love with me, I have dated her a few times but nothing very serious since we have duties to take care of you human souls."

Larkin shook his head again then left the room in silence to Laila. Just as Laila got comfortable a knock on the door startled her then comes in Tessa out of breath.

"Laila, help me, please, I want to be with Lacey so badly. We have been in love a lot longer than Larkin and I have. I want them both but Lacey is my everything that is why I didn't marry Larkin not because of daddy because I love Lacey, Princess Lacey is my dream girl."

Laila rolled her eyes responding,

"You think, I am going to bend over and kiss you're ass to get Lacey after you choked me in front of every maid in the Cabinet today."

Tessa laughed out loud replying,

"You are such a pity, dear Laila. I have such fair belief that you told on Lacey because why else would daddy come in after me and her making love?"

Laila got up from her bed, walked over to Tessa, and stood toe to toe with her responding,

"Lucy is the one who told not me, for what reason because your father asked while we were enjoying a evening to ourselves. I will not help you get Lacey back because you are destined to be with Larkin, the Knight whose constantly putting himself in dangers way for you."

Tessa pushed Laila down to the floor, kneel down to place a finger to Laila's throat replying,

"Larkin, will never have me. I want Lacey and I will have Lacey, if you dare get between me and Princess Lacey death will become your friend. I am not having you or my father demand my love life around. I will marry Princess Lacey, you hear me, I WILL MARRY PRINCESS LACEY!"

Laila felt a tear run down her face as she responded,

"Tessa, you can't marry her. I like you more than you will believe though now that is shot out the door because you are destined to marry a wonderful Knight who is willing to do everything for you."

Tessa shoved Laila down then kissed her lips softly, releasing the kiss she replied,

"You won't have me either, Laila. I am not destined to be with someone who is out to demand my life. I know you used to be an Angel, sweetheart, you have a lot of life to learn here on earth, and that is we are stubborn."

Laila took a hard swallow as she saw Tessa climbed off of her then headed out the door assuming going back to her own room since everything ended in a nightmare today. Laila crawled to her bed that put her to sleep after a rough, rough time with everything that went on.
