As soon as Leana entered the chamber, Lance's vicious eyes turned to glare at her. She tried to move, but she was too scared to do anything. "Give me that, and stop breathing too loudly! It's annoying!" He bellowed at her as he picked up the piece of a broken plate beside him and threw it at her. She flinched when it cut her on the side of the face, and she dropped the tray in shock, causing it to land on the ground with a loud, shattering sound that startled Lance. Immediately, Lance placed both hands…

Completely ignorant of the plans of Susan's parents to ship her and Williams out of the palace, Luciana paced around her chamber, thinking about how they could handle things. For now, she had drawn two possible conclusions. Either Princess Amber had done it, or someone else was responsible for it and wanted her to take the blame. As for the first conclusion, she couldn't believe it, since there was no way Princess Amber could also be responsible for what happened to Prince Harold. But why Beth, of all…

William raised a questioning eyebrow at his sister, wondering how exactly she was planning to find out what had happened without drawing suspicion to herself. "How? Are you going to ask the queen or father? You know they won't say anything to us, and they are going to suspect us. More reason to have them send us out of this place." Williams pointed out. "Not them," Susan shook her head before moving closer to whisper into his ear. "Harvey. He will tell us about it," She said and moved backwards while he…

Susan was at the epicentre of everything at this point. If she left the palace with her mother and brother, what was going to happen to Princess Amber? She had been able to convince Alvin to do something. She had also allied separately with her brother, Luciana, and Harvey. So how could she just disappear now? She was going to have to find a way to remain here and delay the trial. She couldn"t leave no matter what, until either Prince Harold or Princess Tyra regained consciousness and were able to come…

"Are you behind this?" She asked, deciding to get to the bottom of this. If he was behind everything else, they would both know how to deal with it. But if it wasn't him, then that was going to make her even more worried. Damon looked at her with a lost expression, not understanding what she was talking about. "Behind what?" "Did you send people to hurt Harold? And are you responsible for Beth's death and Tyra's wounds?" She asked, and Damon looked at her as though she had lost her mind. "Why are you…

The scene before Alicia looked like something out of a Sageuk K-drama, or perhaps like the nightmare she had some time ago about being beheaded. Unfortunately, the endless cry of Paulina, who was kneeling beside her, and the vicious glare in the eyes of the man she recognized as Beth's father, were the only assurances that she had that this was not a nightmare. If she were merely an observer and not the victim here with an invisible noose around her neck, who was about to be sentenced for a crime she…

Since it was still very early in the morning, other members of the royal family and aristocrats were not out yet, so the maids and guards who were walking around paid no attention when Susan and Luciana passed them. Once they walked into Susan's chamber and shut the door behind them, Luciana turned to Susan again and said, "I heard that Princess Amber has regained consciousness. Have you been able to see her? Or have you heard from her yet?" Luciana asked, and Susan nodded, but she looked away from…

With everything that was going on in the palace, Luciana wasn't the main focus at that point, and no one was really checking to see if she was repenting and asking the goddess to forgive her and make her a good woman again, as she had been asked to do. Thanks to this, she was able to sneak out of the prayer chamber she was supposed to be in before the break of dawn while her maid filled in for her. She dressed up like one of the maids and sneaked around the palace, not sure where she was going or whom she…

"I learned that the murderer has regained consciousness," Benedicta announced as the maids attending to their family served them tea after they were done having dinner in their chamber. Since the incident happened, all the families within the palace had been eating alone in their chambers, especially as the king was ill and there was no need for the general royal meals. "You shouldn"t refer to her in such a manner when she hasn"t been tried yet," Harvey scolded with a glare as he looked at his…

Susan knew that she was taking a big risk. With what had recently happened in the palace, the security was tightened and everyone was being careful so they wouldn't be suspected of anything. But she couldn't just stay back. Time is of the essence currently. She was certain that from tomorrow, Princess Amber would face interrogation, and seeing how she didn't know anything was not going to help her out of this at all. She had to find something before her parents forced them out of here. And during the day,…
