Paulina, who was busy moving from one pillar to the other, trying to hide from guards as she sneaked out of her quarters, heading for Princess Amber"s chamber, almost jumped out of her skin in fear when the first bell rang. She didn"t know this, but she was lucky that she had been constantly using the scent mask Alvin continued to provide for her. If not, her hiding would have been pointless because they would have sniffed her out easily. Even though she knew that she was not supposed to be out after…

Once the queen and Ivan left the dining room, they headed for the special servant"s quarters in the main palace building, where they knew Beth would be resting after the day"s torture. The Queen turned to the guards who were following them; "You"re dismissed for the night," she said before turning to Luciana, "You too," she said, hurting Luciana"s feelings once again as she turned to her husband, who nodded his head for her to leave. Not having any other choice, Luciana walked away, leaving the mother…

By dinner time, it had become news all over the palace that Harold's bride was ill, and everyone couldn't help but worry about it, for different reasons. "She is still unconscious?" The king asked with concern as they ate. "Yes, my king. The royal physician is doing all he can to make her wake up," the Queen responded. "What did he say was the problem? Was it something she ate or drank? Did you eat at the village?" The King asked as he turned to Harold, who shook his head, not thinking that he was lying…

The onlookers didn't know whether to be relieved for Beth or not when she passed the first stage. She was crying from not just the fear but some arrows that had scratched her accidentally. And by scratch, it was a big wound, and the presence of the wolfsbane made it excruciating. She also had blood on her lips because she had been biting down hard on her lips to stop herself from crying out, but unfortunately, that couldn't hold her. Her father was one of the best warriors in this kingdom and had spent…

Harold tried his best not to glance at the empty seat beside him or show the others around the table that he was concerned by the absence of his bride as he joined the rest of the family for breakfast that morning. Breakfast hardly felt like breakfast anymore whenever she wasn"t there to cause trouble. He distractedly listened to the chattering going on at the table as they all ate, but he barely touched his meal as he waited for the chattering to stop and for the king and queen to leave so that he…

Unedited. Something very strange happened that morning. Harold woke up to find himself sleeping beside Alicia on the bed. His eyes were as wide as saucers, and he didn't bother to hide the fact that he was surprised. What happened? How did it happen? Why did it happen? These three questions ran through his head as he looked around the chamber and then at the girl who was still sleeping peacefully in his arms. The last time he slept peacefully at night was a very long time ago before his supposed curse…

Once she was done drinking from the water gourd, she began to feel drowsy, and before she could fall, Alvin caught her once again and turned to look at Harold with a worried expression. "She fainted." Harold looked at the water gourd and scratched the back of his neck. "She just fell asleep," he said as he approached them and took Alicia from him before carrying her in a bridal style. Knowing how troublesome and mischievous she could be, something told him that she had added something to the water. And…

'What are you doing? Let me take over!' Harold's wolf said impatiently. He had been scratching to take over completely since he sensed danger even before Harold did, but Harold kept pushing him back and restraining him. 'No.' 'No?' His wolf asked in disbelief. 'She doesn't know about us,' he reminded his wolf, who seemed ready to pick a fight with him as he looked down at Alicia, who was tightly holding onto his arm with her body trembling. He could swear that she didn't know about the existence of…

After Harold helped her climb the horse, he climbed behind her, causing her to stiffen before she eventually relaxed as the horse began to move. As they returned to the palace, Alicia looked around with a sigh. She couldn"t believe how much she had enjoyed herself. She had thought it would be boring and tiresome, but it was actually refreshing. She didn"t even realize when the day started getting dark. She also noticed that now she felt somewhat closer to Harold and less scared of him after spending the…

The few people who were still hiding around to witness what the cursed prince was going to do this time gasped in surprise when she stepped in. "What are you doing?" Harold asked her in a low and angry tone, but she ignored him as she turned to the woman and her sons. "It is nobody"s fault. No one is getting punished today. It was an accident," Alicia said with a dismissive wave of her hands. "I am..." Alicia turned to look at Harold, who was speaking to her under his breath. "Not punishing…
