★ONE GREAT SHOCK★
Adelaide entered the kitchen and all eyes fell on her as she stood there staring at them all with no expression on her face
“Adel!” Eleanor screamed and immediately rushed to hug her
“Ahh!” Adelaide gro-aned in pain and Eleanor moved away quickly
“I’m sorry” She muttered
Adelaide managed to nod,the pains she was feeling on her back was something she never wished for.
“What are you doing here?” The court lady asked when Adelaide finally moved closer with Eleanor
“I couldn’t just stay in” Adelaide muttered
“Says who?? You’re hurt and you have no business here in the kitchen Adelaide,I’ve told you several times,your work is to serve the king alone” Court lady said and Eleanor smiled
“Go take a rest” She whispers to Adelaide
“Thank you court lady” Adelaide bowed
The court lady nodded with a smile
Eleanor followed her out
“I guess you’re still in Pain,but I’m super happy that the king saved you. I was so worried” Eleanor sighed
“I’m sorry for making you worried,I will be fine” Adelaide said and Eleanor hug-ged her again,gently this time making sure her hands doesn’t touch her back
“I should get back to work before the head maid get mad,let’s talk later okay?” Eleanor said
Adelaide nodded with a smile and Eleanor went back to the kitchen.
Adelaide touched her back and sighed out before withdrawing it,she turned and bumped into Esmeralda who shut her one dangerous glare which sent shivers into Adelaide’s spine.
“You really think this is over right? I will make you pay for making my lady loose her pregnancy,I don’t care how long it takes,I will make sure you feel the same Pain” Esmeralda said and pushed Adelaide out of the way before leaving
Adelaide’s back hit the wall hardly
“Ahh!!” She cried from the strong pain
She stood still for some minutes,breathing heavily and swallowing hard.
‘What type of whip was that?’ She thought
She never felt such pains while she was still with Zoey,she get whipped at least four times in a week but the pains never got to this extent. It was as if her back was burning and at the same time it stings.
She exhaled and gathered her strength to stand up properly,she started walking straight to Lisa’s suite.
Back in the kitchen,The court lady walked out and almost immediately the murmurs started
???? I heard the king saved her
???? Is it true that she slept in the King’s chamber?
???? What’s going on?
Nadia hit her hand loudly on the table
“You all should shut up!!!” She yelled
“There’s nothing like she slept in the King’s chamber,what are you thinking? Why would our precious king even allow that dirty thing sleep in his chamber?” Nadia asked
“Well that’s right,I will never believe it” A maid said
“What If she sed-uce the king?” Another one asked
“Now I see,everyone here lack sense” Eleanor spoke up and they all faced her
“What did you say?” Nadia frowned
“How Can an unconscious person sed-uce the king? Are you depressed? Are you trying to treat your mental disorder by using Adelaide’s name?!!!” Eleanor yelled
“The fact still remain that she killed the king’s child,she should be fuc-k ing beheaded,i wonder why the king is still keeping her,I want her gone” One of the maids said and they started murmuring among themselves again
Garam was smiling secretly as she listened to them
“I will make sure every single person hates you Adelaide” She said to herself and exchanged meaningful glances with Nadia who immediately understood what she meant. That both smiled at each other.

PRINCESS LISA’S SUITE**
Adelaide entered the suite and met Lisa in front of the mirror,dressing her hair. Lisa stood up immediately she saw her
“Bestie!” She screamed and almost hug-ged her but Adelaide moved back for her dear life
“What’s wrong?” Lisa’s eyes fell
“It’s not what you’re thinking,my back still hurts so a light hug would do” Adelaide explained
“Oh” Lisa smiled and hug-ged her gently before sitting her down
“Thank you for saving me Lisa” Adelaide muttered
“Seriously? If you are thanking me,then I might feel bad. I thought we are best friends” Lisa said and Adelaide chuckled
“You should be taking a rest,why are you coming here? Have you eaten?” Lisa asked and Adelaide sighed when she remembered Matilda who fell unconscious hoping she’s fine already. She would have loved to spend more time with the king but Matilda ruined it all
“Did something happened? You slept in my brother’s room right?” Lisa grinned and Adelaide immediately faced her
“Of course not,nothing happened,absolutely nothing” Adelaide said
“Hmm,if you say so” Lisa chuckled
Adelaide checked out her new hair style
“Wow,that’s pretty. But why are you doing it alone,where are the maids?” Adelaide asked
“I told them I need a break,after they brou-ght breakfast,I Sent them away.Let’s eat together” Lisa smiled and grabbed Adelaide’s hand
They both walked to the dining table and sat down
Lisa’s eyes went to Adelaide’s wrist as she served the meal
“Where’s your bracelet?” She asked
“Oh…..queen mother took it from me” Adelaide muttered and Lisa sighed
“Don’t worry,it’s okay. And besides,I have a good news” Lisa grinned and her cheeks turned red
“What’s the news?” Adelaide asked
“It’s a secret,so you’re not allowed to share with anyone,anyone I mean” Lisa warned
Adelaide nodded and took her bottom li-p in
“Carl and I started dating last night” Lisa dropped the bombshell and Adelaide’s eyes grew wide
“Really?!”
Lisa nodded repeatedly
“Wow,I’m so happy for you” Adelaide said
“Thank you,but he’s scared my brother might get mad. So it’s a secret for now,that’s why I said you shouldn’t tell anyone” Lisa said
“I understand,I promise not to say a word to anyone,trust me. But is that why you’re looking extraordinary beautiful this morning?” Adelaide winked and Lisa blus-hed
“He called me a beauty queen last night,He’s really sweet” Lisa mumbling softly and Adelaide laughed
She also smiled when she remembered how King Lucian told her she’s beautiful.

PRINCE LIAM’S SUITE**
“Carl,you can leave now. Don’t worry about me” King Lucian said as they stopped in front of the suite
“Okay your majesty” Carl said excitedly and bowed
King Lucian raised his brows suspiciously
“Were you planning to do something? You sound so happy to leave” He said
“I…..”
“It’s okay,you can go” King Lucian cut him off and went in
“Calm down Carl,you will get caught” Carl murmured to himself before walking away
When King Lucian entered the room,Liam was busy adjusting his robe in front of the mirror
“Are you going out?” Lucian asked and Liam turned immediately
“You still haven’t learn how to knock?” He asked and King Lucian chuckled
“Don’t tell me you’re going to see her again” Lucian said and sat down
“You finally have my time,but sorry you came at the wrong time,I’m going out” Liam scoffed
“Have you forgotten who I am? I can order the guards not to let you out of the palace” Lucian said
“Oh wow,Your Majesty. Forgive my ignorance” Liam bowed and they both laughed
“I heard Matilda lost her pregnancy,how are you feeling?” Liam asked
“Everything happens for a reason,maybe because she’s not meant to carry my child in the first place” King Lucian said
“So you’re happy?” Liam asked
“Why would I be happy? Of course I’m not happy she lost it,but I can’t do anything about it either.”
Liam nodded
“Let me get a drink….”
“No,I will get it by myself.” King Lucian stood up
“Oh wow,are you trying to be humble right now?” Liam followed him
“What do you take me for?” Lucian laughed
“Why is the ball taking too long than expected?” Liam sighted
“The date was not changed,you’re just too impatient Liam.” King Lucian scoffed
They both returned to their seats,King Lucian poured the wine in Liam’s cup first before pouring for himself
“Thank you” Liam smiled
“Aren’t you lucky? The king of Suidan is pouring you a….”
“Oh shut up” Liam cut him off and they both laughed
“Father won’t be able to attend the ball,heard he’s not too fine” Liam muttered
“Is it serious?” Lucian asked immediately
“Not really,he will be fine but he can’t stress himself. Now I feel bad for leaving the palace,I don’t know when I’m going to come here again after I leave” Liam said and Lucian smiled
“You will always come here,you can’t live without me” He teased and Liam shot up a glare which made him laugh
“I’ve always wanted to ask,what’s the name of your Maid?” Liam asked
“Why are you asking?”
“I just want to know come on” Liam chuckled
“Adelaide” King Lucian replied and Liam smiled
“What,why are you smiling?” Lucian asked
“You’re really fond of her” Liam muttered and King Lucian smiled
“I won’t deny that” He mumbled
“Wait,do you by any chance have some……..”
“Let’s not talk about it now okay? Just drink and keep quiet” King Lucian said and Liam frowned sadly

PRINCESS LISA’S SUITE**
Carl entered quietly and met Lisa pacing round the room
“Waiting for me?” His voice came up and Lisa immediately turned
“Carl!” She shouted happily and immediately ran to hug him
“I’ve been waiting,I thought you won’t show up” Lisa muttered still hugging him
“I came here as soon as the king released me,but..where are the maids?” Carl asked after they broke the hug
“I drove them out” Lisa winked and Carl chuckled
“Seriously?”
Lisa nodded
“I was missing you all night” She said
“Me too,I’ve never wished to be a prince but I suddenly want to be one,then making you mine won’t be so hard” Carl said
“I don’t care if you’re a prince or not,I don’t want a prince. I want you” Lisa said
Carl smiled and caressed her cheeks
“Isn’t it too early to get addicted to you?” He asked softly
Lisa smiled shyly
“Do you want to go out of the palace tonight? We can do that,nobody will suspect anything,just like the last time. Let’s spend some time together” Lisa said
“I was thinking about that,but that will be possible if the king release me early” Carl said and Lisa nodded
Carl suddenly carried her
“Oh Carl!” She laughed
“I love the way you call my name,it drives me crazy but I always keep my cold face to prevent ki-ssing the h*ll out of you” Carl said as he dropped her on the bed
“Never knew you’re gonna be so romantic” Lisa bite her li-ps
“Am I?” Carl chuckled
Lisa grabbed his cheek and began ki-ssing him
Carl balanced himself on top of her and the ki-ss became more fast and wild as they devour their li-ps.

QUEEN SOFIA’S SUITE**
Queen Sofia was busy talking to one of the maids when another one came in
“My queen,you have a visitor” She said with a bow
“Visitor?”
“She said she’s a shaman from Veritas Village” the maid said
“I invited her,let her in” Queen mother said
“Yes queen mother” The maid bowed and went out,the second maid also left and soon the female shaman came in
“Long live the queen” She bowed and queen Sofia smiled
“Have a seat” She said and the shaman sat down
“The reason why I invited you…..”
“I know,it’s because you want to know the future queen” The Shaman said and queen Sofia smiled
“I’m impressed,I was told you never disappoints and I can see it already” Queen Sofia said
“What is it you want to know my queen?” The shaman asked
“I want to know who the future queen is,where is she? And when will she meet with my son?? I’m getting impatient,I’m afraid I might die without seeing my grandchildren especially my son’s heir,my only wish right now is to meet my son’s heir before I die” Queen Sofia said
“My queen,you will live a long life” The shaman said
She shut her eyes and began muttering some words of spells which the queen doesn’t understand but she kept quiet and listened
Soon,the shaman opened her eyes and queen Sofia quickly adjusted on her seat ready for the result.
“My queen,the future queen is close to our king already” The shaman said and the queen was confused
“She’s close to my son?” She asked
The shaman nodded
“But….who exactly is she?” Queen Sofia asked
“The deities doesn’t show me nor permit me to reveal more than this my queen,but she’s really close by”
Queen Sofia thought for a while
‘Is there any woman who is close to him that I don’t know about??’ She asked in her head
“She’s going to be as pretty as the stars,her pure heart as warm as the glow of topaz. She will be such a great queen and a good luck to the land of suidan and to the palace” The shaman said,smiling
“Well,as far as she’s close. I don’t have to wait for too long again” She said and the shaman nodded gently
“Guan!” Queen Sofia called and immediately the King’s personal guard entered
“Give the shaman some pounds and make sure she return back safely” She ordered
“Yes my queen” Guan bowed
“Thank you so much my queen,I will definitely come if you need me again” The shaman smiled.

Eleanor yawned tiredly as she walked into the palace general library to clean
“I’m so tired” She mumbled while looking around
“Do you need help?” A voice said from one of the numerous shelves in the library and Eleanor turned twice to check out who it is
“Right here” The voice said behind her and she turned again
Jimmy smiled at her
“Stop acting like a ghost” Eleanor pushed him in the chest lightly and Jimmy chuckled
“You look tired,let me help you” Jimmy said
“What if…you get caught?” Eleanor asked
“This is what is called a voluntary work okay? So don’t worry about that” Jimmy said and took the cleaner from her
“Everywhere is kinda neat,just dust the books out a little and I will clean everywhere else” Eleanor said
“Why are you the only one here though? You should have a partner” Jimmy said
“As you know,everyone hates me because I am Adelaide’s friend and they wouldn’t want to work with me,Adelaide is serving the king….so I am all alone,but I’m fine trust me” she smiled
Jimmy also smiled while staring at her
“What,why are you smiling?” Eleanor asked
“You smiled first,what are you saying?” Jimmy pull her nose and Eleanor chuckled
“Stop playing and let’s work” Jimmy winked at her before leaving her side
“Thank you Jimmy,you’re the best” Eleanor said
“I’m sure you will say the same thing to Kai too if it was him,so I won’t get too happy” Jimmy said and Eleanor laughed

Adelaide was on her way to the King’s chamber and for the best reason known to her,she just couldn’t wait to set her eyes on him again.
Is it strange to say she already missed him?? But that’s what she’s feeling at that moment
She was smiling so happily as she walked until she saw Matilda coming with Esmeralda.
Immediately her smiles disappears and her happiness was replaced with fears.
She almost turned to pas-sanother route but it was too late
“Stop right there you witch!” Matilda called after her with an angry voice
Adelaide immediately stopped and turned gently
Some maids were already whispering among themselves as they expected the drama
Matilda and Esmeralda moved closer
“Raise your head” Matilda uttered and Adelaide looked up
“Right,that’s the face of a murderer in disguise,the murderer who killed my child” Matilda said and Adelaide bite her li-ps hard
“You did that on purpose right?? You did that because you also want the king!!” Matilda screamed
“It was a mistake….my lady and I got punished for it” Adelaide mumbled hoping she will understand
“How dare you talk back!!!” Matilda yelled and slapped Adelaide angrily
Esmeralda smirked and the maids watching giggles excitedly
Adelaide’s face was still turned,but then she faced Matilda back with a glare and without having a second thought,Adelaide raised her hand and slapped Matilda twice,ha-rd ones.
Everyone gasped in total shock
