Harvey stepped forward and grabbed both Alicia and Paulina's hair, and as they cried out in pain, he whispered, "Hang in there a little longer. I believe you. And we are trying to prove your innocence. You have to survive this." "How could you hurt Princess Tyra? You deserve what you're getting," He growled for the benefit of others before he let go of their hair and walked away, ignoring the strange look he was receiving from the others who were wondering why he did that since he didn't seem close to the…

"Speak," Alvin warned in a low, threatening voice. That was the difference between him and other people, and one of the similarities he had with Harold. He didn't waste his time with a question-and-answer session. If he wanted an honest answer, he knew how to get it, just like he was doing now with the tip of his sword pointed at the neck of the head of the kitchen after assuring him they were only going to have 'a word' privately. There was no way he would openly threaten him to tell him about the maid…

Susan swallowed nervously. Why was he always so intimidating? "Yes. Why? No one has ever scolded you before?" She asked, trying to act tough. "Don"t do that. I will get angry." He warned, but before she could respond he returned to the main topic. "So a maid claimed to have seen Princess Amber kill Beth and stab Princess Tyra, but Princess Amber doesn"t remember doing that and she is having similar symptoms with Lance who was your first suspect, and he claimed Princess Amber had given him a biscuit…

At this point, Susan wasn't sure what was making her heart race so much as she approached the hallway of Harold's chamber while looking all around to make sure no one was paying attention to her. Was it because she was scared? Apprehensive? Or perhaps it was because she wasn't sure what to expect from meeting Alvin? However, when she got closer, the first thing she noticed was that things were different this time. Three guards were standing right outside the door. And judging from their dress, she knew…

Meanwhile, in the assembly hall, there was pandemonium as everyone seemed to have a different opinion concerning this case. When the Queen could not take it anymore, she slapped her hand on the handle of her chair loudly and stood up. The noise ceased and everyone turned to look at her. "This is not a big issue to cause such a disagreement amongst everyone. Princess Amber killed one of us and she harmed our Princess. She probably has a grudge against the royal family and may have also had an accomplice…

Susan had to admit that she was disappointed. She had been excited about finding the culprit, but with the information she had gathered, it seemed like they were far from it. But at least they had a clue. "You don't think he did it, right?" Williams asked Susan when he saw the disappointed look on her face as they walked away from Lance's chamber. "Do you think he might be telling the truth about the biscuits?" She asked as she looked at Williams thoughtfully. "I should be asking you that. You were…

Watching Lance as he massaged his temple, Williams agreed within himself that it didn't make sense that Lance was responsible for everything, even though everything seemed to be pointing at him. Apart from the fact that everything had happened too perfectly and he wasn't sure that Lance was capable of pulling off such a stunt, Lance needed to have people working with him for this to have happened. Judging by what Harvey had said, Lance had already left the hunt before Harold was hurt, and if for any…

As Williams and Susan approached Lance's chamber, they heard things scattering and shattering inside, and they both stopped in front of the door and turned to look at each other. "You should stay back. I will go in on my own." Williams said to his sister, but she shook her head. "No. We should go in together. He won't dare do anything rash if we are together." Although Williams looked worried about going in there with Susan, he nodded. He knew that she was not going to change her mind, and besides, it…

While the meeting to determine Alicia's fate was ongoing, in Susan's chamber, she and Williams waited impatiently for Luciana to join them. They didn't have enough time to spare now because they were not sure if the assembly was going to come to an agreement on whether Princess Amber was guilty or not. Susan and Williams decided not to go to Lance first, but instead to speak with Luciana and find out her reason for asking them to find out where Lance had been on the night of the banquet. That way, they…
-
Even though Harvey would have preferred to go with Susan and Williams to confront Lance, he couldn"t since he also needed to be at the assembly, which would be starting at any moment, and he needed to keep an eye on what was going on. His eyes were fixed on Alicia, who was looking around the place as though she was searching for someone even though everyone was present now. "As you all know, the king is ill and cannot join us. The Queen, Prince Ivan, and I will be in charge of this assembly and…
