It was impossible. She didn't believe the king was aware. They were lying to them. He wouldn't have let her survive another day if he knew who she was. Her hands balled beside her, and she took a deep breath, deciding to continue. There were many other things to accuse her of, so she could let this one slide for now. "Tell the house the reason your mother was executed and you were sent to exile." The queen gestured for her to go and speak. "I do not know about it. As you must have learned, I was sent…

Whenever Alicia was asked during an interview about the most nervous day in her entire life, she always talked about the first day she appeared on set for her first lead role in a drama. She always thought nothing was ever going to beat that. But that was a lie. She was nervous. She didn't know what to expect, especially now that she knew all of them in the room were werewolves. Paulina had offered to come with her here, but she had refused. Paulina didn't mention it, but Alicia had been able to guess…

The air in the entire palace was very chilly the next morning. As much as the noblemen would have all loved to not join the assembly, they knew that was not an option. Besides, they wanted to be done with this and return home as soon as possible, but on the other hand, the last time they gathered in Harold's presence... shit went down. Damon stood in his spot beside the king's seat, looking ahead. Everyone expected him to at least say something, but he was mute. At this point, almost everyone had lost…

The two just sat down like that for a while and looked at Alvin before Alicia said, "I have a lot to ask. But I don't know where to start." "I am still the same person," Harold said, turning to look at her, but she didn't look back at him. "Why... didn't you tell me?" She asked, still not looking at him. "I wanted to. But... it's... I..." He paused, not sure what else to say. "You wanted me to have your children first. Why?" She asked as she looked up at him, noting how guilty he looked. She scoffed,…

As Alicia paced around Harold's chamber waiting for him to return with Paulina, her thoughts strayed to different things that could have happened to Paulina. What if she had decided that she couldn't stay in the moon kingdom and tried to run away? What if she had lost her way and one of the wild beas... werewolves had attacked her? She shuddered at the thought and rubbed her hands down her arms. Maybe she should have left with Harold and not let him go in search of her alone. Paulina feared him and would…

Harvey's mother embraced him and kept her cries low since it was past the time they were allowed to make any sound. "I'm fine," Harvey assured them, but his mother didn't believe her as she tried to look him over. "We heard that you were poisoned!" His father said. "I was not. There was a mixup." He assured them, too tired to go into details. "What happened? Why did everyone come back hurt?" his mother asked curiously, but instead of responding, he looked around the chamber. "Where is…

"My head hurts," Williams complained, asking her to lift him slowly as she fed him the water. "I'm... sorry, Milord." She apologized awkwardly and helped him do it gently. As soon as she noticed he was satisfied and he opened his eyes almost fully to stare at her, she was startled and let go of his head, immediately stepping away from him and going to pick up the stick while Williams groaned from the impact. "I'm... I'm s-sorry, Milord, but... I'm... scared." Paulina cried quietly as she looked at…

Susan's mother looked at her daughter in confusion as she tried to make sense of this. Didn't Williams say she fancied Harvey? Harvey was the son of the Minister of War. Not only that, he was the youngest nobleman in the assembly. He was also a great warrior and seemed to fancy Susan a great deal. So why? "How... how can you fancy him?" She asked in confusion as she crouched down in front of the crying Susan. "What is so great about him aside from his looks? Aren't you scared of him?" Her mother asked in…

Harold looked around a bit awkwardly, not knowing what he was supposed to say now that there were just the two of them in the room. He closed the door and kept his gaze on Alicia, who was looking at Alvin with concern. She felt his gaze on her and turned to face him. But just as he was about to say something, Alicia looked around, her eyes filled with panic as she suddenly realized that they were alone. "Where is Paulina!?" Harold stupidly looked around the room as if expecting to find her, as it had…

"Speak!" Harold ordered the physician. "I--" He kept his voice as low as possible as he whispered in fear, "I found... out the King is... being p-poisoned." The royal physician whispered, and Harold's eyes narrowed. "What poison? And by who?" Harold asked, also keeping his voice very low. The man told him all he knew about the poison, but as for the culprit? "... I don't know who is behind it, but the Queen believes it might be through his food," the royal physician said. "The queen knows about this?"…
