Cali’s Pov:
I feared the rate of my heartbeat was too high, the maids and guards might overhear it.
My Miquel was right in front of me – few steps away!
Oh my God!
He was….he was seated on the throne. And a lady was beside him.
She looked like a princess.
“What are these?” She asked immediately, ma-king the rest of us st©p.
But I couldn’t take my eyes off Miquel.
Oh God! He looked so handsome, but….his eyes.
they were so dark. So dark.
He glanced at us – the maids. And I could yell Hus eyes ran into me, but….he acted like…I wasn’t even there.
There was no emotion in his eyes when he stared at me. .
“We were ordered to get these to the King”, one of the maids replied.
“He never ordered for them! Take them away!” She said loudly and rudely and the maids bowed and turned around to the door.
Wait….What’s going on? Why isn’t Miquel looking at me? He was acting like…he didn’t see anyone familiar.
I remained standing like a ghost, not until one of the maids nudged me.
“What’re you waiting for?” She said in a husky whisper and I f0rç£d my legs to move.
Confusion overwhelmed me, I didn’t know what was going on.
My Miquel…Why wasn’t he recognizing me?
Suddenly, I heard a cold voice say:
“I want the blueberries”.
My heart skipped along with my legs as they st©pped walking.
I was the lady with the blueberries, right?
Yes!! Of course.
I g@sped and turned in shock to see him staring at me.
Miquel!
Gosh! I was so tem-pted to call out his name. But remembering everything Mykel had told me, I realized I nee-ded to be safe for him.
“Why’s she just standing there like an oaf?” The lady beside him growled and I swallowed ha-rd and started walking closer.
Oh God! So many things had changed and looked confusing. Who the heck was that lady?
I got closer with the tray of blueberries and as i did, i couldn’t help but stare into his eyes and this time around, he was staring back at me.
But that look….
They weren’t the looks of my Miquel.
He would’ve acted usual by now.
I held out the tray to him and he stretched out his hand and picked about three berries.
I watched him eat them in ecstasy, closing his eyes a bit.
Suddenly,,he looked at me again. And leaned forward.
“Why do you look so familiar?” He asked, his voice coming out so grumpy and cold.
Good lord!
“Have we met before?”
I felt tears build up in my eyes as I stared into his.
No way;
What happened to his memories? What happened to him?
Suddenly, I felt someone push me and in no time, I was on the floor with the blueberries spilled all over.
Oh my God!
It was the lady beside him!
She pushed me!!
“How dare you stare into the eyes of the King?” She roared.
“Do you have a death wish?”
I looked at her with so much shock and fisted my hand.
At that moment, the only thing I felt was screaming at her so she could get wiped off her feet.
But the anger in me was mixed with heart brokeness, I didn’t know what exactly to do.
I looked at Miquel and he was completely void of emotions.
How could he….
How could he watch another lady intimid@t£ me?
The tear c@m£ rolling down freely as I continued staring at him.
“Guards!!” The lady yelled and the boys c@m£ scuttling in.
“Lock her up!”
The guards lifted me r0ûghly from the floor and started taking me away while I whimpered.
More tears streamed down my cheeks as they took me away.
But not until we heard the King’s voice.
“St©p!”
It c@m£ in an order and we the guards holding me st©pped walking as we turned to look at him – Miquel.
He was on his feet.

Cali’s Pov:
I was still whimpering when we turned around to look at him. He was on his feet.
All eyes were on him as everyone probably wondered why he asked the guards to st©p. His eyes were so damn dark and stared at me.
“Give us some privacy” he finally said again, creating more suspense.
“My King?” The lady beside him called, she clearly sounded surprised.
“I want everyone out of the room, except the maid” he said again, his eyes not leaving my face.
The guards left me immediately and started walking out – so with the rest of the maids.
“But my King….” The lady tried speaking out.
“Do you really have to argue with me, Bethany?” He turned to her and ask and the look on her face was priceless.
“No,my King”, she bowed and left his side.
She kept her eyes glued to the floor as she walked away, and when she got to where I was, she lifted her face and sh0t me a deadly stare.
I gulped nervously and took my eyes away from hers as she walked away.
And now…back to Miquel.
We were the only ones left in the room.
I stood, transfixed in shock as we both stared at each other – silently.
The silence was a brooding one as I wondered what he had in mind.
But shocking enough, he called my name.
“Cali?” His voice c@m£ out a little hoarse and my eyes dimmed.
He called my name??
Suddenly, I walked up to him and sl@pped him.

Bethany’s Pov:
I walked angrily out of the throne room, my entire system vibr@ting.
I felt the ground was shaking with the way I stormed on them.
Finally, I got to the sacred hall – where the coordinates were.
“We have a problem” I said as soon as I entered and they all turned swiftly to look at me.
No doubt, they were taken abacked by my sudden entrance.
”
“What problem, Bethany?” The eldest asked, keenly.
I breathed heavily as I walked closer to them.
“Miquel…”, I p@n-ted.
“I think we might lose him”.
“What?”
“What?” About three of them chorused at once.
“What makes you say so, Bethany? Go straight to the point”.another urged.
“There’s a lady in there. And with the look of things, I think she knows Miquel. And Miquel knows her. He s£nt everyone out of the throne room so he could have a word with her. He might regain his memories” I said, hyperventilatively.
About 5 of them g@sped.
“Are you being serious?? Who’s she?” The eldest asked.
“I have no idea. But she’s definitely a threat. I couldn’t see it in Miquel’s eyes. He couldn’t take his eyes off her. And to think they’re together right now….” I cli-cked my ton-gue.
“There’s definitely a problem”.
“No! Get the guards immediately. Take them to the throne room. They’re to kill the intruder as soon as they see her. Do it now!! I’ll go inform the priest” the eldest said strictly and scurried out of the room while I also bowed and ran off to fulfill my task.
TBC.
