"Leave the palace? But... Is it okay to leave the palace now?" Paulina asked and nervously looked at the window, which was already closed. Since the first night, after she was attacked by Beth and almost got into trouble before she was saved, she wasn't sure she was ready to risk it and step out of the palace doors, with or without her mistress. "Not now. But we have to plan." Alicia was at least relieved to see that Paulina was not asking too many questions and was willing to go along with it. Paulina…

Seeing the challenge in his eyes and how he was approaching her with purposeful strides, Alicia stood her ground as she waited to see what he wanted to do this time. Once Harold got to where she stood, he stopped when he noticed the defiance in her stance. Instead of throwing her over his shoulder as he had planned to do, he decided to try a different approach. He took in a deep breath. "Just to be clear on this, there is no place you can run to in this kingdom to hide from me. And if I want to harm you,…

"W-What... do you... think you are doing?" Alicia asked in a shaky voice as she tried to act tough, even though she was anything but that right now, and they both knew it. How long had he been in the room waiting? Was he that petty that he had left her in the garden only to come to wait for her in her chamber? What should she do? Perhaps she should scream for help so that Tyra, who was waiting outside, would come in to save her? Who knows what Harold would do to her if she screamed? She wouldn't put it…

Prince Ivan and his wife, Luciana who were still seated in the garden, but were now in the company of the queen, both turned to look at what the queen was staring at so intently with a slight frown on her face, and their brows creased as well when they saw the king walking into the garden with Harold and his bride. What is going on? Ivan wondered with displeasure as he watched the trio move to the other side of the garden. Why was the king always meeting with Harold in private but not with him? He was the…

Two seconds later, her shoes were in her hand, and her dress blew with the wind as she raced through the palace, looking left and right frantically as she tried to remember the correct path. It seemed like what her manager always told her was true, 'Your sharp tongue is going to be the end of you.' Well, here it is. Good thing she was a good runner. Alicia continued to pant as she ran, but it seemed like no matter how fast she ran, he was always behind her, even though he wasn't running. Were his legs…

Inside the imperial palace, someone raced through, barefooted, like it was a matter of life and death. The person didn't bother to stop even when they raced past the Queen, which was taboo. But the Queen put her hand up, stopping the guards from taking any action as she watched the person curiously. Never in the history of the Moon Kingdom has someone done that. She was not talking about running past her now, she was talking about running in the first place. But a lot of weird things have been happening…

In different parts of the palace, every member of the royal family who had been at the dinner table was talking about Alicia and how she had called Harold, a baby. They all couldn't wrap their heads around the fact that she had called the almighty Prince Harold a baby. Prince Ivan and Luciana, who were seated on the balcony of their chamber, laughed as Ivan mimicked Harold's facial expression when his wife referred to him as a baby. "How could she do something as silly as that?" Amidst her…

As Alicia followed Harold, she noticed something strange, which she also found to be very interesting. Whenever a maid or guard was approaching and caught sight of Harold, they would immediately turn the other way. Harold didn't seem to mind them. He just kept going ahead while the others jumped out of his way, looking visibly scared. Alicia stopped walking and looked at his back. He seemed to realize she had stopped walking because he also stopped and turned around to look at her. Alicia realized that…

Much to everyone's surprise, Alicia didn't speak unless she was spoken to as they all ate dinner. She was still thinking about all that Paulina had said, and she wanted nothing more than to retire for the night so that she could read through Princess Amber's diary. Harold, who was seated beside her, looked at Alicia from time to time, while he wondered what was going on in her head. Even though he liked that she was quiet, he doubted that her silence had anything to do with his threat or warning. He had…

Alicia's conversation with Paulina kept replaying in her head as she walked down the hall to join the others for dinner. She hadn't realized how much time they had spent talking until a maid came to ask her to get ready for dinner. After hearing all that Paulina had said, she was certain now that there was more to Princess Amber than met the eyes. There had to be something. According to Paulina, Princess Amber always kept to herself and never talked back or reacted whenever Madam Grace was rude to them,…
