Dawn’s pov?
“Anna….Please help me” He whispered and I went numb for a second.
Help him…Do what??
“King Lee” I called again and scuttled to where he was on the floor.
He sighed and stood up with his bloody hands.
“What happened you, your highness?….did you just kill the sick dog?” I asked dumbfounded.
He glanced at me with dimmed eyes.
“I…I…” He paused and looked around.
“The dog attacked me–“.
I gasped and feebly took him by his wrist. I walked with him back into the room and headed for the bathroom.
I helped him wash his hands thorou-ghly in the sink.
He was quiet throu-ghout.
I led him back to the room – to the wardrobe to pick a clean new outfit for him.
I unbu-ttoned his stained shirt and dropped it on the floor.
I turned around and looked into the wardrobe for another shirt.
I got my hand on a red one and handed it to him. He glared at me before throwing his face to look elsewhere.
Yeish.
I turned back to the wardrobe and took a white shirt instead.
He took it from me and wore it quickly.
My eyes dropped on the pa-nts he was putting on. Do I have to change that too?
“Its not stained” He said like he read my mind.
I nodded and looked around the room.
“Won’t you take off your dress so you’ll be more comfortable?” He suggested and @$$isted me with the dress.
It was ha-rd for me to exp-ose my body at first but then…he’s seen it all!
I checked his wardrobe for a shirt and I found on just long enough.
He took my hand and started towards the bed.
“Let’s get some sleep” He cooed and we laid on the bed together in silence.

I wasn’t sleepy as I kept reminiscing about what happened earlier with the dog.
I tried to put myself in the dog’s shoes –
He would kill me out of anger that I lied to him about being Anna. Then immediately after killing me, he would realize what he’s just done and someone else would help him clean up.
Now I’m sure my days here are numbered.
He made me drop my head on his che-st and I took a de-ep sigh.
The guilt of the dog still engulfed me. I let the innocent die. I got a hunch that King Lee would kill it because of the inability for it to get cured.
I’m so selfish!…
He began stro-king my hair and I lifted my head to look at him.
“Go to sleep” He hushed and I closed my eyes.
He kept stro-king my hair.
“I know they’re coming for me Anna” He whispered and I opened my eyes.
What does he mean? Who’s coming for him??
Alicia’s pov?
“Are you sure?!” Simone yelled immediately I told her about Anna having powers.
“I’m not sure Simone but I’m just suspicious” I said scrunitizing over the memory.
Xenia said she tou-ched her that night. My daughter wouldn’t lie to me.
Simone looked around the veranda where we stood.
“Well…I’ve also suspected her. It was during that time I was recovering from the ab-ortion pills. She offered to m@$$age me and after she was done. The cramps disappeared. Even the doctor found it preposterous” She stated and my eyes wide-ned.
So…I was right about that little witch.
“So, I’m not the only one suspecting that mysterious girl. We are going to set a trap for her that’ll definitely bl-owher mind” I professed sm-irking.
“And how are we going to do that?” She asked curiously.
“It involves hurting Xenia so she wouldn’t resist saving her” I blurted.
“What??? Hurt your own daughter??” She yelled gob sma-ck ed.
I nodded and tou-ched her shoulder.
“Yes Simone” I chipped.

Dawn’s pov?
I opened my eyes and ru-bbed them slowly. I bad no idea when I slept off last night. I guessed it was because King Lee kept stro-king my hair in a slow pace.
I drew myself to sit upright on the bed.
Like expected…there was no glimpse of the king and I wonder how he always wakes up before me.
I’m going to be the first to wake up one day and I’ll definitely ru-b it in his face.
I yawned and stretched my hands as far as it could go before climbing down from the bed. I wore my shoes which were on the floor.
Memories of last night came flooding and I snapped my ne-ck up to stare at the door that led to the garden.
I walked painstakingly to the garden and I was muzzled on seeing the floor sp-otless. The exact sp-ot where King Lee was with the dog was cleaned and not even a drop of blood was detected.
Oh my goodness!
I returned back to the room and looked around for my crown. I saw the crown on the table next to a gold glittering ne-cklace.
It looked so dazzling that I was tempted to touch it.
Some pa-rt of me wished It was mine…
Intact, where will I wear it too?
I took my crown and wore my dress before leaving throu-ghthe main door where a few guards were.
I met Caroline standing at a corner.
She twirled and I smiled exuberantly the moment she set her eyes on me.
“Good morning, your highness” She greeted with a slight bow.
I approached her and we started towards the hallway that led to my bedroom.
“Morning Caroline…how was your night?” I asked feeling perturbed.
“I should be asking you, my princess…how does it feel sleeping on the same bed with the king?” She blurted.
I sighed rolling my eyes.
This lady will never change?
Sometimes I feel like she isn’t just my maid but a friend. Her manner of speaking changes within seconds.
“I don’t want to have this conversation right now” I groused walking as fast as possible and leaving her behind.

I sat on the bed and Caroline began taking off my shoes. She took her time ru-b-bing my feet as well.
“Caroline, Do you have any idea where the king went?” I asked after a brief silence.
She lifted her head and nodded.
“There’s a field combat between the men in our kingdom and the men from the Atrihan Kingdom. After the royal games throu-ghout today, the two kings will come back to the castle for a feast so everyone will be occu-pied with getting the hall ready”.
Wow…
Why didn’t King Lee tell me about this, huh?
“What can I help out with?” I asked distractedly.
She chuckled and got up from the floor.
“Nothing at all..your highness. The maids in this castle are capable to handle any event themselves” She interpolated and I sighed.
What am I going to be doing all day now?

Seconds turned into minutes and minutes turned into hours.
I kept myself busy with the stories i’ve been writing. I really want to finish them and start something that has to do with love. And my inspiration is King Lee.
Does he even know how much I’m affected by his touch? And also, does he love me back?…
This thoughts flowed like a long river throu-ghmy mind but I suspended my thoughts on hearing the alarm clock Caroline brou-ght for me ring loudly.
I glanced at it and saw that it was already 10pm. How time flies…!
The loneliness was horrible and u rather be at the market selling baskets with .I’m than to be locked up in this four wall room.
I gr-unted and got up from the bed. The window was wide open so I walked over to it to close it.
I looks at the gate which was quite far away.
Lots of cars drove into the compound in a haste. I looked closely at the sight. Isn’t that…the king?….King Lee is back.
King Lee’s pov?
I smi-rked as the car zoomed into the castle premises.
I turned to my right hand man – Raphael.
“You know the plan…drug all the cu-ps with enough weed. Make sure those rascals don’t suspect a thing. I’ll be in my bedroom. Inform me when the deed is done” I stated and he nodded.
“I won’t let you down, my Lord” He saluted.
I got down from the car and walked straight into the house with few guards marching behind me.
`

After having a bath, I sat by the table operating my laptop when I glanced at the side where I dropped the gold ne-cklace.
It was there.
Anna didnt take it…
Why didnt she take it???
Dawn’s pov?
I got to King Lee’s doors and met two guards on watch.
“I would like to see the king please” I said smiling.
The guards exchanged glances.
“The king doesnt want to be disturbed” They said coldly.
I felt a ripping in my heart and my eyes melted in disbelief. I batted my lashes like they would help me un-derstand better.
Does this mean I’m just like Simone and Alicia now?…
King Lee have had enough taste of my body and is probably hates me now.
Tonight.
I’ve finally joined the co wives of the king.
I turned and walked away as tears slid down my cheeks.
