Since Lance could not push Susan into the water, as soon as he stepped out of the water, he ran towards Williams, who didn't realize what was happening until Lance was already pulling him towards the water. Before Williams could push him away, he found himself already falling into the water and did not hesitate to grab Lance's hand tightly, which made the two of them fall inside. Williams gasped as he raised his head out of the water and used his hand to push his hair from his face to the back. His dark…

Alvin and Harvey looked at each other before looking back at the group who were quietly seated on the front porch of the inn in confusion. They all looked like a complete mess. Their clothes, faces, and even their hair had different kinds of food debris. The most surprising part about it all was that Harold wasn't spared from it. Vegetables were hanging loosely on top of his straw hat, and it seemed like the side of his face was smeared with tomatoes. It seemed like he was trying to suppress his anger…

Meanwhile, Ivan wasn't taking it lightly in his chamber, where he was still locked. He had been unable to sleep all night because of the burning rage inside him, and his chamber looked as messed up as he was. He had destroyed everything breakable in his chamber until there was nothing left to destroy. He couldn't even look outside because, true to the queen's words, the windows had been sealed and sprinkled with wolfsbane, so he was just stuck inside with his increasing rage. He stopped pacing when he…

Away from there in the palace, the Queen stood beside Damon as they faced the aristocrats and members of the assembly. "Why did you send for us so early in the morning when we should be reserving what little strength we have? We have no energy to waste on such unproductive gatherings," one of the aristocrats stated in annoyance, and the others murmured in agreement as they discussed amongst themselves. Although Damon was displeased by the disrespect, he couldn't complain since this had become his lot…

"How did you prepare that for them but sell only this to us?!" One customer complained bitterly. "The bush pig was hunted and brought here by one of them. If you bring one as well and pay me well, I will grill it for you." The man said it in a "businessman" tone that made the displeased man scoff. "One of us? Who was it?" Lance asked curiously. "Who else if not Alvin?" Susan asked, smiling before looking around. "Where are Alvin and Harvey?" Alicia asked first since they were still not out yet. "They…

While the Queen was almost going crazy in the palace, the oblivious group were getting out of their rooms one by one. If it wasn't the nice smell of roasted meat that woke them up, it was the heavy knocks on their doors by the innkeeper, inviting them to come out for breakfast. Alicia and Harold had already left their rooms and were outside using sticks to brush their teeth, so they were the first to sit down around the table on the front porch of the inn. Only this morning did Alicia notice that the…

Back in the palace, the Queen was still seated in the same position where the messenger had met her the previous night. She didn't sleep a wink throughout the night as she tried to process everything that she had been told. One by one, she tried to process them. First of all, Princess Amber wasn't a real princess. Her real mother was the infamous Anne, and not the current queen. She had been brought from exile to marry Prince Harold, which was a big slap to their faces. How dare those filthy humans…

"It's not morning yet, is it?" Alicia asked, wanting to distract herself from everything. "Not yet," Harold said, judging by the silence all around them and the night sounds he could hear outside. Alicia sighed. "I don't think I can go back to sleep," Alicia said as she lay face up, while Harold adjusted so he could look down at her face. "What do you want us to do?" Harold asked, and she propped herself up on one elbow and looked at him curiously. "I've been curious about something..." "As long as…

At the sound of the second bell, after most people in the palace had retired to their chambers and quarters save for the night guards, the Queen could be seen walking down the hallway as she returned to her chamber after speaking with Tyra. One glance at her and anyone would know that she had a lot on her mind as she walked. The more she thought about her conversation with Tyra, the more she believed that Tyra was not telling the truth. She was hiding something. Although Tyra once again insisted that…

Unlike the first time when the salesman had been very adamant about selling male clothes to a lady, it was much easier for him to do so this time. Susan, who had been upset over the fake shaman's prophecy, was quick to snap out of it after she put on her new clothes. "I feel so comfortable, it's almost impossible to believe this!" Susan said in awe as she twirled around, and for once, she didn't feel much fabric all around her. "Although I can breathe freely, why does it still feel like I am wearing a…
