Harvey looked at her, if by that question he was asking if his mind had changed about Alicia's innocence, or if she was asking if something had happened to Alicia. He doubted it was the latter since he was sure she would have somehow heard from her parents if anything happened to Alicia. "Nothing has changed," he said confidently. So beautiful! Susan's mother gushed as she listened to them. It was good to know that despite this setback, nothing had changed in their feelings for each other. Williams, who…

When Luciana heard his voice, she raised her head fully and looked up at him while trying to bear the pain she felt. "What... are you doing here?" Ivan whispered in surprise before hurriedly going to check the corner he had come from. He had been pissed at his mother, so he had walked ahead of her. And now, she was closely approaching. He held Luciana up with one hand, ignoring her cry of pain, and moved in large strides until they got to the closest door, where he shoved her inside before he entered and…

An Hour Earlier... Harvey had a deep crease between his brows when he sneaked into Susan's room, but found no trace of her once again, just like the night before. He had come in the previous night to find out if Susan and Williams believed Princess Tyra's testimony and to know if they were still on Alicia's side or not, and what they planned to do now about Lance, but Susan's room was empty. He had gone in search of Williams too but had also not seen any trace of either of the siblings around the…

Inside the dungeon, there was no sense of time because of how dark the place was both during the day and at night. Alicia had never been more painfully aware of time as she was in these moments that she had spent in the dungeon. Even though there was no wristwatch here, Alicia could hear her time ticking. With every second that passed, she could feel death approaching. It was closer than she hoped for. At this point, she had already made up her mind that she was guilty. Her subconscious had taken over…

"Why are you asking me about that?" she asked in alarm before quickly standing up to go look outside the door to be sure no one was within earshot. Williams looked at her in confusion and wondered why she looked so nervous when he had only asked a question. "Why are you asking me about that?" she whispered as she returned to sit down very close to him. "It's an emergency. Please tell me." He said desperately. His maternal side of the family was good at making potions and herbs. So he believed she was…

"Where is your sister?" Williams' father asked the moment Williams walked into their chamber and there was no trace of Susan behind him. "She will join us shortly. She had something to take care of in her chamber," Williams said as he went to sit down, and their father looked at him for a moment without saying a word. "Your mother said Harvey and Susan are interested in each other. Is that correct?" he asked, and Williams glanced at his mother, who was beaming with joy, before returning his attention to…

She cleared her throat as she met his gaze, "I'm sorry for your loss, but you are barking up the wrong tree here. I think you should know that no matter how much you are going to torture me, my response is not going to change. I did not kill your daughter, and neither did Paulina. We may not have gotten along with her, and our relationship was not a pleasant one, but we are not beasts. I wouldn't even do that to my enemy, much less someone who had served and trained me in the past. I won't allow you people…

Ever since Paulina woke up, Alicia had not said a word to her. Although she was glad that they had survived that one, Alicia still did not say a word to her. She couldn't get over the fact that she had stupidly tried to take the blame for everything and got herself killed. Right now, they were back in the dark, smelly dungeon. Some guards had taken them back here, but compared to earlier, they felt better. No, they were not okay. They were hurting all over from the whips and burns, but Williams had…

"Prince Harold... how is he?" Tyra asked weakly. "He has been unconscious. He was badly wounded–" "Why? Is he going to be okay?" Tyra asked as she began to cry. "He is Prince Harold. We are sure he can survive this. There is something more important." Susan leaned closer and asked, "The maid with you that night... did she look suspicious? Is there anything you can remember about her?" Tyra shook her head as she answered, "I had never met her privately before until that night. She begged me that she…

"What are you doing here?" The Queen asked with displeasure when she walked into her chamber and saw Ivan standing by the window. "Isn't it obvious? I was waiting for you," Ivan said as he looked at his mother. "What for?" She asked, sounding annoyed. She was still reeling from the disappointment of her aborted plan to kill Princess Amber, as well as Tyra's inability to remember what happened. "Mother, are you hiding something from me?" Ivan asked, and the Queen raised an eyebrow. "What is that…
