Alicia paced around Harold's bedroom, feeling guilty. Her brain kept trying to conjure up the scene that was happening between both brothers. What was she going to do now? Her head was hurting badly and her body ached from being dumped on the floor earlier, but that was the least of her problems. Harold was angry. How was she going to face him? Was he going to yell at her? Snub her? Kick her out of his room? By the time the first bell rang, Harold still wasn't inside, and it made her more concerned.…

Although it was late in the evening, in every corner of the palace, news had spread about what Princess Amber had done, and everyone was whispering about what had just happened between the members of the royal family. They all had to whisper since the king had said he didn't want to hear about it until after the banquet. The Queen, who had left with her husband, was fuming as she walked into his chamber with him. "You will let the servant and Harold's wife be after doing that to our son? A Prince? You are…

Ivan's hand moved to the hilt of his sword, eyes flashing dangerously, showing how prepared he was to shed blood at that moment. "Step aside, Harold. Your wife dared to interfere in my private business and lay her hands on me. She needs to be disciplined," Ivan said as calmly as he could muster. Seeing the trouble she had caused, Alicia became worried. She didn't want these brothers to fight because she had gotten herself involved in this. Just this morning, she had assured Harold that she was going to…

After the king was done saying all he had to say, he stood up and left, accompanied by the Queen. Surprisingly, the next person to stand up immediately wasn't Harold nor was it Ivan, since he was still busy glaring daggers at Harold for being chosen alongside him to welcome dignitaries– something that was supposed to be done by the heir to the throne. But the one who stood up was Luciana. As soon as she did, Ivan turned to look at her, but she only acknowledged Harold and bowed to him before she turned…

Harold had been thinking about a lot of things lately, and meeting Tyra this evening hadn't helped. She had just succeeded in making him more concerned about everything. Usually, things like this didn't bother him too much. He knew that they wouldn't hurt Tyra, and he and Alvin could handle themselves. But now, there was Alicia. It would have even been better if she was the only one he would have to protect, but Alicia just happened to be a busybody who cared about everyone. He had a feeling that when…

With a lot on his mind, Harold went to the training ground to practice. He was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't realize how aggressively he was fighting with others. If they had been using a real sword instead of a wooden version, they would have had thousands of cuts on their bodies already. The guards could not help but pray for a helper to deliver them, and it seemed like the moon goddess was on their side because a helper came in the form of the delicate princess. "Brother!" Tyra called as she…

When Alicia entered her room, she was a little surprised to see how the entire place looked. Everywhere was clean and it looked like the bed had been replaced too. The damp odor was no longer in the air, but had been replaced by a pleasant smell. "What happened?" She asked, dumbfounded. It hadn't been a very long time since she left the room, so how come it had been transformed like this? "Even though you are going to be spending the nights in my chamber, you will still return to yours during the day. It…

After she was done crying so much, she sat down and just stared blankly without saying a word, while Harold just stared at her, not sure what he was supposed to do. "Would... you... like some bread?" He asked, offering one. Alicia turned to look at him. If this weren't such a big issue, she would have laughed at his lame attempt to console her. But she didn't have it in her to laugh right now. "How could I do that?" She asked quietly, making him frown in confusion. "You don't want to eat the…

Alvin had just returned from an important mission and was making his way to find Harold to relay everything he found out from following the kitchen staff to the marketplace when Harold entered his head. Since Harold entered, wouldn't he have just asked how it went? But no. He had asked for a gourd of water, and now he was here, facing the harsh glare of Harold's wife. Alvin glanced at Harold in confusion. Did he perhaps tell her the truth already and now he was about to get into the Princess' bad books…

Harold led Alicia to the closest chamber, which just happened to be a mini library. Thankfully, no one was inside, so he locked the door and waited for her to stop crying since he wasn't sure how to comfort her. Alicia didn't even know when they got in here because she was just crying in his embrace. For some reason, she felt that this had happened before and wondered when she cried in his arms like this, but she could not exactly place it. "Are you okay now, Princess?" He asked quietly as he broke free…
