Williams looked at her, wondering why she was so surprised. "Didn't you realize that earlier?" "Lance? Interested in me?" She shuddered. "That is so... disgusting," she said with a grimace. "However it is, we have to use that to our advantage. I do not want to do this either, but we don't have a choice. And I am going to be with you whenever you have to speak with him, so you don't have to worry about being alone with him," Williams assured her. They both stopped walking when they saw Beth's father,…

"Is everything okay? Why does Father want to see us?" Susan asked as soon as they left the painting room. "Why do you think he wants to see us? You were the one who interrupted Paulina"s execution, and he saw both of us there," Williams said with a shrug. "But that doesn"t mean anything. It"s not like he saw us moving them away from there anyway. He will thank me for interrupting the execution soon. Who knows? Maybe that"s why he wants to see us. Princess Tyra has probably told them what happened…

"He keeps having headaches. The only thing he ate that was different from what every other person ate were the biscuits he received from you that evening," Williams explained. "Biscuits? Did I make them? But everyone ate the snacks we made, and they were alright," she said, looking at Susan, who gave her a nod. "We don't think you made them. But we don't know who you got them from either. But that is our clue. You both have similar symptoms, but his symptoms seem to be milder than yours." Williams…

"They are badly wounded," Susan said sadly as she and Williams applied ointments to the wounds on Alicia and Paulina. "Focus on the bright side, they are alive. Their wounds will eventually heal," Williams said as he carefully treated the wounds on Paulina's feet, while Susan tended to Alicia. "But not like ours. It's going to take a long time for them to heal." Susan said, still sounding sad. "You were not the type to care for people this much," Williams said, despite the mood. His sister was a rebel.…

Tyra looked like she was going to burst into tears any minute. She looked at them with pleading eyes, hoping for them to go away, but the queen didn't budge. The king's beta and queen's brother were still looking at her, waiting for her to speak. As if things were not already too intense for her, the door flung open and Ivan entered. Instead of looking relieved that his sister was awake, he frowned at the others. "Why didn't anyone send for me?" He asked his mother, who gave him an unpleasant look before…

Everyone's attention in the room moved to the king's Beta and the Queen, who was Tyra's so-called mother. Damon had been the one to ask Tyra about her health, while the queen went straight to the point. Seeing her mistake, the Queen paused and took a deep breath to calm herself, "How... are you feeling?" The Queen asked, slightly flustered. It was obvious to everyone present that she didn't mean it. Tyra looked at all of them frightfully and pulled the quilt even higher without responding to any of…

Beth"s father had a displeased frown on his face as he looked at the unconscious forms of Paulina, who had also fainted on the podium, and Alicia, who was still unconscious, before glancing at the two siblings who were approaching. Williams walked past him to meet Paulina, while Susan fought against the wind as she tried to get to Alicia. Beth"s father ignored them and looked at the guards still standing near him, "Take my daughter"s body inside. And keep an eye on the criminals," he ordered the…

Earlier on, as Susan made her way to find her maid, who was to help her fetch Luciana's maid, she met Luciana's maid heading in her direction. "I was just about to send for you. Are you here to see me?" She asked when she saw the letter in her hand, and the maid gave her a nod. Although she couldn't understand what was going on between her mistress and lady Susan, she suspected that it had something to do with Beth's murder, and so she needed to act discreetly since she was aware that if she was caught,…

Harvey continued down to Susan's chamber, but by the time he got there, she had left the chamber in search of her maid, who she wanted to help her fetch Luciana's maid. As Harvey hurried around the palace in search of Susan, he ran into Susan's mother, and just as he bowed to her and was about to hurry past her, she stopped him. "I suppose you're searching for Susan?" She asked curiously, and Harvey turned, wondering how she knew who he was searching for. "Yes, milady?" he said hesitantly and began to…

Ignorant of what was going on with Alicia and Paulina at that moment, Susan paced around her chamber as she tried to come up with what to do next. Now that they had ruled out Lance, and Alvin was out in search of the missing maid, she didn't know what else she could do. After some time, she paused when she remembered that she had yet to inform Harvey and Luciana about their discussion with Lance, so she walked over to the dressing table in her chamber and sat on the stool as she composed a note asking…
