Unedited. Alicia listened with rapt attention as Paulina told her all she knew about the Princess whose body she possessed, and she tried to process all that she was hearing. Paulina reminded her of a few things like the fact that she was only 8 years old when her mother was killed. Something about committing treason while she was sent on exile. Paulina had been a slave whose Amber's mother had saved alongside other slaves but she had been the only child among them. The trauma had been too much for the…

Alicia was still shaken by what had just happened in Harold's chamber as she returned to her chamber with wobbly feet. She looked down at her bloodstained hands and wondered what he meant by those words he had muttered to himself. 'The calluses are not from your tough life in the mountains.' What did that mean? Although she had always known that the princess's hands, which she possessed, were rough and hard, compared to her own hands which were very soft and delicate, thanks to all the beauty products…

Instead of taking her to her chamber, Harold walked into his chamber with her, while Paulina, who had run after them, stood outside the door, terrified that she had caused trouble for her mistress. Who knew what the cursed Prince was going to do to her? After everything she had heard about the cursed prince, she feared for her mistress' life. "You should go." A person appeared beside Paulina, almost making her fall to the floor from fear, not knowing where he had appeared from. When she looked at his…

The lessons went on for the girls, but Alicia stopped paying attention after she heard what she wanted to hear. What was the point in listening when she was going to leave here soon anyway? She was lost in her thoughts until a maid walked in, and Beth bowed to the maid, who looked older than her. Alicia's lips almost fell open as this was a sight very surprising to her. She had no idea that the 'almighty' Beth bowed to anyone except the King and Queen. "The Queen wants to see you at once at the royal…

"Her maid was brought to her?" Harold asked, trying to hide his amusement as Alvin related all that had happened at the maiden's chamber earlier to him. "Yes, milord." He had to admit that he was relieved to know that his bride was smarter than the average human being. Although she tended to talk a lot, which he didn't like, it was good to know that she wasn't just all talk, but could actually get what she wanted to be done. He was impressed. 'I still don't like her' his wolf informed him with…

Alicia had planned to look around for a rope, but it seemed like the kingdom had everything else she was looking for except a rope, and it was very frustrating for her. She must have spent over two hours walking around the palace, but there were still many more rooms she hadn't been able to access. The place was that big. Giving up, she decided she would have to go to the servant's quarters to look for Paulina. Although she had asked some maids about Paulina and they had all purposely chosen to be…

Once Alvin had left, and all the carriages had disappeared from view, Harold turned to leave and almost bumped into Prince Ivan, who was approaching him. "It seems like you"re not getting along with your bride. Need some advice?" Prince Ivan asked, making Harold raise a brow. "If you keep asking me about her, I"m going to start to think that you are interested in my bride. You shouldn"t covet your brother"s wife," Harold advised with a look of disapproval as he sidestepped Ivan and walked away.…

Although Alicia wanted to believe that she had won the verbal fight between her and Beth, she had yet to set her eyes on Paulina. Beth had agreed to let Paulina come see her, but on the condition that she first get ready to send off the royals while she asked Paulina to change into something better. Seeing how Beth was suddenly complying, she could sense that something was wrong. She just could not bring herself to trust that Beth girl. But for now, she pushed whatever thoughts she had about that girl…

Soon, the air in the room eventually returned to normal and everyone gasped in relief. Once again, Alicia looked at them, confused. "BETH! What are you doing when you should be teaching her how things are done around here?" Luciana, Prince Ivan's wife, asked with displeasure." If you don't like your chamber, then changes should be made immediately. Beth, make sure you take care of it," the King ordered, ignoring what everyone else had said. Alicia gave him a wide smile before rising from her seat to bow…

"Your bride seems to love to make an entrance," Prince Ivan murmured to Prince Harold, and the others who heard him laughed in amusement. Harold completely ignored them as he focused his attention on Alicia, who was coming to sit beside him. Hadn't he specifically instructed her not to speak to anyone unless she was spoken to? Why was she so stubborn? Didn't she realize that the more she opened her mouth, the more danger she exposed herself to? "Good morning, dear groom!" Alicia greeted him with a sweet…
