"I have to help you up. It's a royal order," Harold said for the benefit of those around the table as he lifted her off the ground while Alicia tried not to glare at everyone in the hall. They were all very annoying, and even if the king hadn't suggested that she go to her chamber, she doubted that she would have been able to stand looking at them. Not after they all ruined her escape plan. Once she was standing on her feet and dusting off her dress, Harold turned to the King, "Thank you for your…

Alicia was running out of time, and she knew it. She knew it was time to step up her escape plan. Because the more she delayed, the more difficult it became for her to escape, especially now that Harold was not just thinking but talking about sending Paulina away and suggesting that she start sleeping in his room. It was only a matter of time before he started doing as he pleased, so she had to do something quickly. Running away was as impossible as having a green sun, and escaping from Harold outside…

Inside Harold's chamber, Alicia was fuming with anger as she paced back and forth from one end of the room to the other. She could only admit to herself that in her moment of anger she had absolutely forgotten that they were both in his chamber and not hers. And it was only after asking him to get out that she realized where she was. Still, she had been too mad to care, so she had pushed him out regardless. Their conversation had been going on well earlier (maybe not well, but they had been having a…

Alvin didn't know how much of their conversation Harold had heard, but he had a bad feeling about this, especially since Harold was glaring at him like that. "Your highness," he greeted, guiltily bowing his head, unsure whether to apologize or not. "You can leave now," Harold said dismissively, and Alvin bowed to him once more before doing the same to Alicia and walking away, leaving them both alone. Harold looked at her without saying anything. If he hadn't heard her ask Alvin what had happened on…

"You said you needed to get some air outside the palace to feel better, yet you came back sick. What happened to you?" The queen asked curiously as they ate, since she wanted to know exactly what had happened. Alicia raised her head to look at her. She still didn't have a clear picture of what happened to her either so she answered, "I guess I was exhausted. I don't remember much of what happened," Alicia said with a shake of her head, and the Queen looked at her, wondering if she was telling the truth or…

Alicia didn't need someone to tell her that this princess Luciana was up to no good. The princess reminded her of some of the ladies she had met while working in the entertainment industry. The smile was just the same, and those people usually had an ulterior motive. But this was not the time to let her know she wasn't looking forward to bonding with her. Since she was going to be her new instructor, she had to be nice and sweet so she wouldn't give her hell like Beth did and make her stand for hours. In…

Meanwhile, Alicia finally found the servants' quarters, unknowingly drawing attention to herself, not only because she was awake, but also because of the dress she was wearing. Since it was a simple dress a lady was not supposed to wear out of her room, especially if she was a royal. Since it was going to be time for breakfast soon, she was supposed to dress properly instead of running around in a casual dress. But Alicia didn't know all this as she looked around for Paulina, trying to find the particular…

While Alicia was panicking in her bedroom, Harold was in his room, thinking. He looked out his window with his hands behind him, as he always did. For three nights, he had slept beside her, and for those three nights, he hadn't changed into his wolf form. His body felt a little strange, and he seemed well-rested. For the first time in years, he was able to rest for three nights in a row! No excruciating bone-breaking pain. He was just normal. But that wasn't the issue bothering him. It was his bride who…

Paulina was startled to find Williams very close to her and even more surprised that he was asking her to eat with him. "Uhm... t-thank you, Milord. B-But I"m not... hungry," Paulina stuttered. It wasn"t even a second after she said that when her stomach rumbled in protest, disagreeing with her. She did not eat the previous day because, at first, she was too worried about her unconscious mistress, and after that, when she became hungry, she was too scared to go and ask the other servants for food,…

"Are you okay?" Alvin asked with concern when he almost hit Harold with his sword once again. Harold wasn't the type to be distracted during practice, but it was obvious that Harold's mind wasn't on whatever they were doing. "Yes. I'm fine," Harold said in a very unconvincing tone before saying, "Let go again," but Alvin shook his head. "No, you're not okay. You have been very distracted. Is it because of Princess Amber? Are you that worried about her?" Alvin asked knowingly, since he was also…
