Susan had tears in her eyes as she watched Alicia and Paulina embrace each other while crying hysterically inside the carriage. No one could tell if they were shedding tears of relief or tears of shared suffering. Only the two could explain what they had endured and survived together. As Susan sniffled, she looked down when someone offered her a handkerchief, and she looked from the hand up to the face. It was Harvey. Her brows pulled together in confusion as she looked at him, wondering why he was…

Once Damian stepped away from the Queen and left the hall after receiving instructions from her, both Damon and Ivan looked at her curiously, wondering what news Damian had come to deliver. The queen's lips curved in a smirk as she faced them all. "Prince Harold is leaving the palace with his bride," she announced to the members of the assembly who were still talking amongst themselves and everywhere became silent. Harvey, who was standing amongst the others, looked at the queen with interest when he…

For the umpteenth time that morning, Alvin found himself standing in front of Susan, who was raising an eyebrow at him. She stood inside her chamber, holding the door while he stood outside. "You know people will talk if they see the two of us several times in a day?" she pointed out to him, while he looked at her like she had lost it. "You have been the one following me around," he reminded her before going straight to the point. "Prince Harold wants you to help Princess Amber get dressed. They are…

Immediately the Queen and Ivan walked into the hall where Damon and the aristocrats were gathered, trying to come up with a solution to the problem and find a way to reason with Harold, everyone turned hateful eyes on them. The queen pretended not to notice how they were all staring at her, and she squared her shoulders as she went to stand beside Damon. The aristocrat who she had insulted and called names the previous day stepped forward, "You have no right to be in a gathering of men..." "I am the…

Harold felt anger rise within him again, but he took a deep breath to calm himself. Seeing how the colour of his eyes was changing at the slightest annoyance now, he couldn't afford to get angry and scare her. He was relieved that she was alive and she was awake now. That was what was most important to him. "I'm here now. No one will hurt you again," Harold promised, but she refused to let go, so he sighed as he lay down beside her and cuddled her. Harold was torn between going to get things ready to…

For the last couple of days, Alicia had no idea what was wrong with her, but she knew something was wrong somewhere. She had a series of dreams, but she wasn"t sure which one was real and which was just a figment of her imagination. She wasn"t even sure whether some of the things she had dreamt about Amber were real or not. When she woke up earlier, she had also thought it was another dream, especially because of how everywhere had been so quiet. She had also doubted that it was real due to the…

Harold scoffed in disbelief as he watched them. He had given strict instructions for no one to eat anything. Not only had these fools disobeyed him, their hiding spot just happened to be outside the window of his chamber! He could understand why they thought it was safe. The place was like a deserted spot. Even though Prince Harold's chamber was on the second floor of the building, no one wanted to ever pass by that direction for fear that he would look down and find them. Thankfully he had been looking…

To say Ivan was furious would be an understatement. Ivan was boiling with anger as he made his way back to the king's chamber to see his mother. Who did Harold think he was to make such orders? Why was everyone listening to Harold and not him? How dare they disrespect him in that manner? Even Luciana? How could his own wife talk to him in that manner? How could she take Harold's side when she knew that Harold was his enemy? Without acknowledging the guards, Ivan headed straight into the chamber. He…

Just as Harold was about to dismiss Alvin, he remembered what he had heard from the physician and turned to Alvin to give him further instructions. "I want you to also look into Damian. He seemed to have met with Princess Tyra a couple of times privately. Let me know why," Harold ordered, and although Alvin seemed a little confused about the instruction, he gave him a nod. "What about Sir Rager?" Harold asked him. Although he had been very tempted to kill Sir Rager when he heard that he had been in…

After being unconscious for the last fifteen hours since her ungracious fall, Benedicta moaned softly as she slowly regained consciousness, "Mother?" She called out in a dry voice. "Milady?" The maid, who was seated beside her, cried in relief immediately she heard her voice, and her mother, who was standing by the window, rushed to her side to confirm that she was awake. "How do you feel?" She asked with a concerned frown as Benedicta tried to sit up. "W-Water... I need... water..." Benedicta croaked…
