After having her bath, Alicia returned to the bedroom, wrapped in a robe. She raised a brow when she noticed that Beth had left with two maidens, leaving behind two other maidens who were to help her dress up, "Jezebel left already?" Alicia asked, even though she knew that they probably wouldn't understand. "Yes, my lady," one of them responded with a bow since they could guess she was referring to Beth, even though they didn't understand what she meant. "Good riddance," Alicia said as she sat down on…

Alicia had a smile on her face as she rolled from one end of the bed to the other, as she dreamt of herself walking down a red carpet and being interviewed by the paparazzi. There were lots of journalists calling out questions to her, and she had a smile on her face as she answered every one of their questions. Yes, this was her life. And she would give anything to continue living like that. "So when are you coming out of your hiding?" One of the journalists standing at the back asked. "I'm not hiding,"…

Paulina looked at the face of the man she had bumped into with fear. She had a feeling the people here could kill her without batting an eye. She was a bit surprised to see how good-looking he was. Was everyone in this kingdom this good-looking? She quickly shook the thought out of her head. Whether they were good-looking or not, the most important thing was that they were dangerous. Even the maids were all very pretty, but they acted like evil witches. Not to mention this young man, who was obviously a…

Paulina heaved a deep breath as she collapsed on the floor outside the door of the latrine, which she had just finished cleaning. She still couldn't believe that the second she got off the carriage, she had been dragged away to the servants' quarters, and without even a second of rest, one of the maids there had stuffed her hand with a bucket containing the soap and other items she needed to clean the public latrines and bathrooms around the palace. Paulina groaned softly when she tried to sit up, and her…

Harold"s left brow shot up at the sudden interruption, "She is rude!" his wolf growled angrily." Shut up and go back to sleep." Harold replied to the wolf. He had been having a peaceful time the whole evening when his wolf didn"t say a single word. "Why should I? This is my business as much as it"s yours. I won"t mate with her!"" No one is mating with anyone! Now shut up!" Harold growled back and focused on what Alicia was saying. "Why are there so many rules? Last I remember, you came to marry…

"Your bride is quite an interesting lady, isn't she?" The King asked Harold once it was just the two of them remaining in the dining room. "Is she?" Harold asked indifferently as he sat back on his chair, staring into the goblet of wine in his hand. He knew that there were probably some palace servants around the hall, who had masked their scents and were trying to eavesdrop on this conversation so that they could report it to the Queen and his brother, so he needed to be extra careful of whatever he…

"Does that mean... you are... the... King?" She asked with wide eyes. The king didn't answer, so she looked at Tyra, who nodded in confirmation. "Oh my! You all look so young, and I had no idea. What do you people eat here?!" She said the last part more to herself and quickly stood up. She raised both hands to her forehead and bent forward in a bow to the king and did the same facing the queen. Damn it! Why did he have to be married? The Queen's lips curved upward in a welcoming smile. "You're welcome…

Everyone at the table directed their attention to the door when it opened and Alicia walked in. If she had thought the dress she had worn during her wedding ceremony with Harold was suffocating, this was even worse. She had thought the royal dinner was going to be a small dinner, but she was wrong. There were at least thirty people inside the hall. But what caught her attention was the dishes on the table. About 90 percent of the dish was made up of meat. Harold watched as Alicia's eyes lit up the moment…

Prince Harold looked out the window in his chamber. The city was dark except for a few lights here and there from torches and lanterns. A lot was running through his mind as he could not stop thinking about the attack against him that night. He knew well that those people had deliberately planned to attack him. They weren't mere hunters. He had his suspicions that it was either the queen or his half-brother Ivan, or that the two of them had joined forces together and planned to have him killed, which…

Alicia was led to a room far bigger and well-arranged compared to the other kingdom. The room was almost empty, left for a king-sized bed and a dressing table with a small mirror. She remembered how her room was well decorated. Bright sheets instead of these dull looking sheets, floor-to-ceiling windows compared to the small windows in the room. The similarity was that the room was on the second floor, so she could still look at the city from her window even if it wasn't that big. Something clicked in her…
