Alicia's face fell when she noticed something was wrong. Even Harold was no longer looking at her anymore as his eyes were elsewhere. Right before her eyes, an arrow was shot at Harold who dodged it immediately before another one came at him. He also dodged it but a second later, someone was in front of him, attacking him with a sword. Alicia felt her heart drop to her stomach as she watched. Two more people appear from nowhere with swords, attacking him at the same time. "HEY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" She…

"How do you stand Harold?" Alicia asked, startling both the Queen and Luciana, who hadn't expected such a question from her. "What?" The queen asked, wondering why Alicia was asking her that. Alicia almost smirked, seeing the surprise and confusion on the queen's face. So what? She knew how to ask uncomfortable questions, but she didn't like to be at the receiving end of such questions? "Well, I know that he is your stepson, and I'm sure he is not easy to live with, especially with his attitude. How are…

After leaving Harold and Alvin, Alicia returned to join Luciana, who was waiting for her by the entrance of the royal garden, where she had agreed to meet her so that they could both have lunch with the Queen. She could not wait for this to be done and go find Harold since they both had something important to discuss. Or rather, she needed to ask him for a favour, and she had to do it in a way he wouldn't suspect it was part of her plan to escape. If only she knew she had divulged every detail of her plan…

Paulina was a bit distracted as she kept wondering what was wrong with Williams. It was obvious he wasn't his usual self since usually, he would chat with her as she drew him or ask her questions, but he seemed a bit distant. He had only greeted her when they met and sat down, leaving her to do whatever she pleased. Did she perhaps do something to upset him? Was it something she said? But they had been cool the previous day before she left. Or was he upset because she had left with Alvin abruptly when…

Harold had a smug smile on his face as he trained with Alvin. Regardless of whether Alicia was going to be pissed or not, he had already set his plan in motion, and there was nothing she could do to stop him. He almost laughed evilly in his head at the thought of ruining her plan. Maybe he should continue to feed her his wine to drink so she could keep exposing everything to him. Hehehe. Alvin looked at him, wondering what he was so happy about when he was just about to do something that wasn't very good.…

Seeing how nervous Luciana was, Alicia almost rolled her eyes. Even though Luciana had come to her with bad intentions, she doubted that the young lady would be bold enough to do anything. "While taking me around the palace, we will get to see the stable too, is that right?" Alicia asked hopefully. "Yes, if you want to. Why?" Luciana asked curiously, wanting to know why Alicia was interested in the stable or riding a horse. "Nothing serious. I just want to see that horse..." The rest of her words…

Knowing that she wasn't going to be getting any more information on what she had done the previous day while under the influence of alcohol, Alicia decided to move on to the next subject that troubled her. "Uhm, Paulina," Alicia called, and then cleared her throat. "You said the person in that portrait painting is Princess Amber's mother, right?" She asked, and Paulina gave her a nod. Paulina was tired of trying to persuade Alicia that she was Princess Amber, so she let her say whatever she wanted. "How…

Once Harold got to his chamber, it didn't take long for Alvin to join him. Alvin almost turned back when he saw an angry-looking Harold. He had heard shouts coming from Princess Amber's chamber but could not exactly hear what they were arguing about since he had been watching from far away. Seeing him now, he knew that Harold was in a bad mood, and as such, he had to be careful of whatever he said. As usual, Harold looked out the window as he waited for Alvin to give him any information he was here…

Although Williams had suspected that this was the reason the queen had asked to see him, hearing her ask the question caused his heart to skip a beat. The last thing he wanted was to cause trouble for either himself or Paulina. He knew that Susan had been right. Both their father and the Queen could be really ruthless, and they wouldn't mind getting rid of Paulina if they so much as suspected that he had something to do with the girl. "Nothing is going on between us, my queen," Williams said, and the…

Harold was startled out of his dream with his heart racing so loudly that anyone outside would have heard it. He looked around him, realizing he had drifted off to sleep in his bathtub, which was even stranger than the dream he had just now. In a moment of confusion, he stared blankly until something snapped in his head, and he immediately got out of the tub and went to get dressed. Falling asleep like this, he didn't like it, even though he knew that he needed to get some rest. He wasn't even done…
