Paulina had a shy smile on her face as she walked into the painting room that morning, and Williams' lips twitched with a smile as he watched her. "Good morning, my lor..." Williams cleared his throat to stop her. "What did we agree on?" Paulina knew what he was talking about, so she didn't bother to play ignorant. "Good morning, Wil...Iams," she said without meeting his gaze, and he smiled before nodding his head. "Good morning, Paulina. Did you sleep well?" He asked, and she bobbed her head as she…

Alicia could not help but be wary of Harold. Why was he so interested in her sleeping in his room? He had even sneaked into hers the other time when she had been drunk. Now, it was beginning to make her suspect that he was responsible for the flooding incident. Was this his plan? "Did you flood my room?" She decided to ask since thinking about it was not going to give her any direct answer. "No," he replied curtly, and left it at that, but her suspicion lingered. "Why do you want me to share a room with…

Tyra was the first to wake up the next morning, and she roused both Alicia and Susan from sleep so that they could return to their chambers before everyone started moving around. She had no idea how the king or queen would react if they were to find out that they had all spent the night together. "It is morning already?" Alicia asked as she stretched out on the bed. "Yes. You should be in your chamber before Princess Luciana gets there. We don't want her to know you spent the night in my chamber," Tyra…

When a maid suggested Alicia spend the night at Harold's chamber, she had a feeling that the water incident was not as simple as it seemed because the whole story made no sense and wasn't adding up either. But the thing she didn't know was whether this was purposely done by the maids or someone else. She didn't think this was Harold's doing because he didn't seem like the type to be petty like this. So she assumed they probably had a shipper in the palace who wanted them to become closer. And thought…

"It is done," Alvin told Harold confidently. "You just have to wait patiently and she'll come." Harold had never doubted Alvin before, so he was certain that whatever Alvin had done was going to work, but he was still curious to know what his plan was all about. "What did you do?" "I flooded her room," he said with a sinister snicker, but immediately stopped when he noticed how Harold was looking at him like he was insane. "That was the brilliant plan you came up with?" Harold asked in disbelief. It…

"What's funny?" She asked, watching him with an innocent expression. Seeing how innocent she looked, Harold decided to ignore her. He wasn't going to let her push him to do something evil to her. But one of these days, she was surely going to get punished for messing with him so much. Having come to that decision, Harold ignored her and started walking again. Alicia, on the other hand, could not understand why he was giving her the cold shoulder. Hadn't he been the one to suggest that she make something…

Immediately after the king and Harold left, Prince Ivan, who was still very angry, stood up and left along with the Queen, since he didn't want to spend a minute more in Alicia's presence. The lady was very annoying and didn't know her place. "Do not take whatever she said to heart," the queen admonished, but Ivan wasn't in the mood to be lectured to either, so he bowed to her before walking in the opposite direction from her. Seeing how Princess Amber had so actively defended the course, he had a…

Alicia thought she could be able to draw Harold's attention during dinner, but the guy just had to snub her and look ahead as if she did not exist. At this point, she was beginning to get fed up. Why was it so difficult to get his attention? She couldn't believe she had stayed away from dealing with men, only to find herself dealing with a stubborn one here. "You do not like the food?" The queen asked when she noticed, just like everybody else, that she was not eating much. She looked up at the queen…

Alicia almost laughed out loud at Tyra's question. Why did she always forget the kind of people she was talking to? "We are not 'hanging' anything. I mean we should go out and have fun outside the palace." Susan and Tyra exchanged glances before looking at her. "Are you serious?" Susan asked. Alicia bobbed her head, "Yes. I'm sure you both would like to leave the palace for a day, right? So how about we all go see the marketplace like I did the last time with Harold?" Alicia asked, and Susan's eyes lit…

Harold could see she was now making her move with Hellion. Too bad for her that she was going about it the wrong way. "If you want to get used to living here, then you don't need a horse. Women of the royal family do not own horses," Harold pointed out sweetly. "You knew that, yet you promised to give Hellion to me if I could handle him. You can't go back on your word," she countered. Okay, that made sense. "You don't possibly expect me to help you handle the horse I promised you on the ground that you…
