Zayn's POV:

The fire is trickling by the fireplace, and the room is warm with it. It's summer season, I don't know why they even lit up fire in first place. I call in one of the guards guarding outside and order them to send a maid to my room. When an old lady comes over, I request her to extinguish the fire.

She leaves after questioning me if I want something else. I just want to be left alone, but there is no privacy in this castle. Everywhere I roam around, there would be at least one eye on me. It's annoying. I know, they aren't over the fact that someone can look as good as me, but after a while, their staring is just pissing me off.

Being the most beautiful Prince in seven seas and various, glorious kingdoms isn't very easy. I had to deal with horny, lusty eyes often from my own ministry. Of course, my parents don't know, or rather I don't tell them about it. They have a kingdom to take care of, I don't want to add this to their plate.

And now, I'm sitting by my window, staring outside at the beautiful view it's offering me. This is the only thing I'm not bored of in this castle. I love the view. I can see the cities and towns stretched out around me, no bigger than ants from here. It's going to be dark soon, and I can see the fire being lit up outside houses.

I always wonder what it is like out there, to be a normal citizen of the kingdom. But I have never been outside the castle, not in last fifteen years. I get too many death threats and I'm in constant danger of being kidnapped to be seller as a slave or something close to that. For that reason, my identity has been kept secret ever since the first threat. Nobody knows what I look like except the people in the castle and all they know is, Prince of Anahi, is the most beautiful Prince to ever roam on the earth.

I'm home tutored, trained in the private training centre set up for me (Yeah, really) and dined along with my family. My father, Yaser, has been King of Anahi for last twenty years, and I'd proudly say he is doing an amazing job of it. My mum, the love of his life, has been along his side forever. I have got three beautiful sisters, one elder than me (Doniya) and two younger sisters (Waliyah and Safaa)

And, this is all my day contains. Training in early morning, breakfast with family, tutoring late morning and lunch with my sisters and my best friend, Louis Tomlinson. And then joining my papa at hearings in afternoon, tutoring again in evening. I can retire back to my room by six.

Louis is only son of my papa's most loyal advisor. We practically grew up together. And he is my partner in crime. Getting bored out of our minds, we usually pull pranks on people and end up getting grounded for weeks. But that never stopped us.

Thinking about my parents, it makes me smile. I'm not sure if their marriage is arranged one or not. Because, we have got this tradition in Anahi. Our royal family includes a phoenix, a long lived, immortal bird that cyclically regenerates or is otherwise born again. Associated with the sun, a phoenix obtains a new life by arising from the ashes of its predecessor.

He was named Agni by my great-great-greatest grandfather (Not sure how many greats). And nobody can explain why, or give an accurate reason how or why it happens. But he always chooses the future Queen or the spouse of the King or the crown Prince. It's a ritual that takes place on its own, he chooses the Queen when he knows the time.
