? After Susan was able to escape from Lance, she made her way to Princess Tyra"s chamber to check on her and find out how she was doing. As she went there, she thought about what Harold had said about Princess Amber being innocent, and she couldn"t help the frown that creased her brows at the thought. Would it be wise to ask Princess Tyra about it again? Perhaps now that Prince Harold was awake and there was no pressure on her anymore, she would be able to tell the truth? Susan mused. If their…

Seeing that the show was over, Harvey rose to leave and turned to look at Luciana when he noticed her presence. It was just the two of them there. "Is Lady Susan not supposed to be your betrothed?" Seeing that she had gotten Harvey"s attention, Luciana asked. "Are you not supposed to be Prince Ivan"s wife?" Harvey asked, making Luciana"s brows pull together. "What does that have to do with my question?" She asked in confusion as she tried to find the connection. "What is your question?" Harvey…

Harvey, Susan, Wiliams, Luciana, and Lance knew that as soon as they swore on their lives to be truthful to Harold and work together to make sure the culprit was found, they wouldn't be able to turn back. "You have the chance to leave now," Harold said as he watched each of them calmly. Each of them exchanged glances between themselves, but the longest was between Susan and Williams, who knew what this meant for them. Lance, on the other hand, wanted to leave. He kept looking around for someone who was…

Harold turned his attention to Lance before he sat down at the head of the table while the others remained standing, except for Lance, who moved to sit down, but when he noticed everyone else was still standing, he paused mid-air before straightening himself back up. "You didn"t answer my question," Harold said to him, making Lance"s heart skip a beat. He had thought that Harold had forgotten about him. Lance swallowed as he avoided eye contact with Harold. There was only one wise answer to give…

When Harold got to her door, he noticed how empty the entire hallway was. There wasn't a single guard there. He knocked on the door gently and didn't have to announce it was him before the door was pulled open and Tyra fell into his arms, embracing him tightly as she cried. "You have no idea how relieved I am to see that you are fine. How are you feeling now?" She asked with tears in her eyes as she hugged him, while Harold stood stiffly in her embrace. He was even surprised at the great impulse he felt…

Albeit reluctantly, her sister had made sure to use the last cheap mask they had to change her smell before she followed the direction Agnes had told her. They promised to meet each other again the following week and swap back. Agnes had been so scared to send her sister off. She hadn't been able to sleep the entire night, afraid they would catch her. Thankfully, she showed up the next time, looking a lot better. Matilda had liked the feeling of working for the first time in her life. And was sad to give…

Harold was ignorant of what his presence was doing to the kitchen servants as he stood there with his arms crossed after listing out all the things they were supposed to make for his wife so she could have a variety of things to choose from as soon as she woke up. He remembered every single meal she had enjoyed eating and those she winced at, so he listed them out, making sure they got the meals correctly. Those were the only meals the servants were allowed to make since Harold had put every other person…

It was not surprising that while Harold slept peacefully beside Alicia in bed, some other people around the palace were unable to find sleep. On top of the list was Ivan. No matter how hard Ivan tried to sleep, he couldn't. His mind was very troubled. And the few times he managed to doze off, he woke up immediately when he saw Harold's red eyes and smirking face. So very early the next morning, before the crack of dawn, Ivan left his chamber and made his way to the Queen's chamber. When he got there and…

In the past, Alvin would have been unable to answer this question honestly, but now there was nothing to hide. It was no longer a secret that Prince Harold"s curse had been broken, and everyone also knew how much Harold cared about his wife. "She is still asleep. She is in Prince Harold"s chamber, and they both need to be left alone," Alvin said, and Susan nodded. "Of course, they should be left alone," she said with a nod, but deep down, she was relieved she wouldn"t be accidentally bumping into…

Paulina groaned in pain as she slowly opened her eyes. It felt as though a boulder was crushing her entire body. Her eyes and throat were hurting so much. She guessed it was from all the crying and screaming. "You are awake," she heard a familiar voice beside her and turned her head to the side to find Williams sitting on a chair beside her bed, his legs crossed. Paulina looked surprised to find him there and opened her mouth to speak, but found it difficult to do so. He reached for a small bowl and…
