The queen became even more nervous now that she learned of the disappearance of the maid. Who was the maid working for? Who was behind all this? Was it Damon? He hadn"t been around during the hunt since he had to stand in for the king in the town and ensure that things went smoothly with the commoners and unimportant people in the kingdom. He was yet to return since some issues had kept him busy, and even though what was happening in the palace was very important, making sure that the people outside…

"How is she doing? Any improvement?" The Queen asked the royal physician as they both stood beside Tyra's bed, while Ivan stood by the window. "She is still unconscious and weak," the royal physician said, and the queen sighed. "Do you have any idea how long she is going to be this way?" Ivan asked, but the royal physician shook his head. "That, I cannot say." "You can leave," the Queen said, and the royal physician bowed to them before walking away in fear. He had every reason to be scared now because…

She didn't do it, but she couldn't remember anything? How was she going to defend that? Susan wondered. "This is a very serious issue. That's why you are locked here, and now that you are awake, you will be tortured until you confess." "Not that. Harold. How serious is his wound? Is he going to be fine?" She asked fearfully. She didn't want anything to happen to Harold. Although she wanted to get out of this place, leaving this dungeon would be meaningless if anything happened to Harold. How would she…

Alicia didn't know how long she had been conscious there. Probably only an hour had passed, but it felt like days. It was safe to say that this was the worst time of her life. Her brain was still foggy, and she was not only weak, but her throat felt parched. Seeing how Paulina was struggling to breathe, she could guess the girl was faring even worse. Plus, it looked like she had been seriously beaten. Alicia didn't bother to ask her about that for fear that she would remember something awful and start…

"What happened on the morning of the Banquet?" She asked curiously when she recalled that Paulina had left her that evening after she found out that she wasn't Princess Amber. "On the morning of the banquet?" Paulina paused to ask in confusion, wondering why she was asking her that. "Yes. Was it that morning we were brought here? Do you remember seeing me that morning? This wasn't what I was wearing on the night before the banquet," Alicia said, and Paulina broke into a fresh bout of tears when she…

Alicia wanted to laugh at the awful dream she had found herself in, but she didn't have the energy to do so because, one, it wasn't funny, and secondly, her whole jaw ached for real, especially her head, which was pounding seriously, making it difficult for her to properly process everything. Two days? Paulina said they had been here for two days. Why? What happened? Alicia wondered in confusion. "T-Two... days?" She managed to ask. "Why are we locked up here? What about my husband? Where is... Harold?"…

"What?" Anne asked, looking down at her stomach. "The baby you are carrying. That is Amber, right?" "Amber?" When she saw the confused look on Anne's face, she realized she really wasn't making any sense. Of course, Anne had no idea. "It's a girl. Her name is Amber." Alicia said, looking at her stomach. Anne looked at her stomach and caressed it. "A princess," Anne muttered with a smile before looking up at Alicia. "How did you know?" Seriously, how was she supposed to answer that? Because…

Alicia felt like she was wandering. She could not exactly place it, but she knew something was wrong. If "Nothing" was a place, she was currently there. She could see nothing except a big black void, and that made her scared. She thought it was a nightmare at first and prayed to wake up, but as the seconds passed, she became concerned. What made her even more scared was when she pinched herself and felt the pain for real. Her heartbeat spiked. What was happening to her? Was this another transmigration?…

"Tyra," Susan half yelled just as Tyra opened her bedroom door to go in, causing Tyra to jump back in shock. "Susan! Why are you sneaking up on me?" Tyra asked as she pressed a hand to her chest and frowned at Susan. "I wasn't sneaking up on you. You were distracted, or else you would have realized that I have been trying to get your attention," Susan said, and Tyra sighed as she stepped into her bedroom, and Susan followed suit. "What are you worried about? Is it about your marriage to Lance? And your…

By the time Alicia returned to her room, she was even more frustrated with everything. She wanted to get angry at Harold, but she wasn't sure if he was to be blamed for everything. She had opened up to him about who she truly was. She didn't hide anything from him, so why was he giving her such a condition before telling her about himself and all that was going on in his kingdom? If she was able to confirm with him that they were witch hunters, then one of her problems was solved. She would have known…
