King Lee’s pov?
I drove along the road amidst darkness and night fog.
I decided to leave the castle without anyone knowing. I didn’t nee-d escorts to where i was heading.
I stepped on the br@kes and the car came to a screech stop.
I opened the door and walked out. The house looked old but beautiful.
I always come here with my father whenever he was confused about something.
This place proved to be a comfort zone to any man that is pushed to the edge of breaking down.
But I’m not about to break down.
My reason to be here is entirely different.
I approached the house and opened the door immediately.
The old woman was sitting on the floor – eating from a plate.
She looked up startled.
“Lee…” She whispered as her eyes dimmed.

I was sitting on a chair with her beside me. She rushed up her dinner so she could attend to me.
“Its too soon for you to come here, son” She snickered.
“Why do you say that?” I asked ru-b-bing the ring on one of my fin-gers.
“You’ve been king for just five years now. Your father was 10 years gone when he came here” She replied.
“You don’t have to compare me with my father. We are two different people.
And I don’t want your advice on any issue. I just nee-d two things from you” i paused and stood up from the seat.
“Anything for you, your Majesty” She besumed slightly bowing her head.
“First, I want to know everything about healers” I said after taking a de-ep breath.
“Healers? You mean healing witches??” She asked alarmed.
My breath hitched.
Could Anna be a witch?…
I nodded slowly and she smiled.
“Healing witches derive their power from the moon. If its naturally gifted healing powers, the moon fill them up at night. They don’t just heal anyone they come across with. Their heart and soul must accept to heal the person unless it won’t work. Just a touch of their gifted hands heals someone – they accept to heal. They can rarely heal themselves too.
“Healing witches are extinct this days. They’ve fled from Euphoris after your father did all he could to wipe them all out from the surface of the earth…”
I stared blankly at her as she narrated the whole ordeal.
“So…what’s the second thing you nee-d from me?” She asked and I sighed.
This is not the best time for the second one…
“I’ll be here tomorrow for the second one” I deadpanned and brou-ght out a bundle of money.
I threw at her table and a smile crept on her old wrinkled face.
“I don’t nee-d it son…I’m okay, right now” She cooed.
“I don’t nee-d it either” I replied and walked out of the house.

AT THE CASTLE OF EUPHORIS?
~
“Go and get the princess” I said to one of the guards before going into the room.
I left for the bathroom and took a cold shower.
I was dressed in my sleeping robes before returning back to the room.
I glanced around the room and headed for the drawer. I got hold of a knife and cut my arm with it.
My blood dripped out and I just stared.
*Your Majesty*
I heard and felt shivers flow throu-ghme.
She’s here.
I turned and she gasped on seeing my bleeding arm.
She was in a short night dress which showed pa-rt of her fair lap-s.
She rushed to me and held my hand.
“Who did this to you, your highness?” She wavered as tears built up in her beautiful eyes.
The emotions on her face was filled with pain and sadness…
The perfect look.
She must be having the feelings to heal me, right now.
I held her hand and placed it on the exp-osed cut.
I waited to feel the pain and wound disappear but…it didn’t.
I waited some more and she stared at me with tears In her eyes.
She’s not healing me…
Why???
Could it be her heart doesn’t accept to heal me at all??…
This doesn’t make se-nse!
“King Lee” she muttered with a sniff.
I smiled warmly at her and brou-ght down her hand from mine.
“Should I get a first aid box, your highness?” She asked and I shook my head.
“No…go and close the windows” I replied and she went on her way.
I felt my heart ache.
She doesn’t want to heal me.
She didn’t even act like she was a healer.
She…
I stopped with my conclusions when I looked down at my arm and realized the scar had disappeared.
And strangely,
I found myself smiling…

Dawn’s pov?
I closed the windows pondering about why King Lee placed my hand on his wound.
Was he expecting something to happen?
I hope he hasn’t found out about my powers. That’s impossible.
Its not written on my face that I’m a healer.
I was done shutting the windows and turned around. I caught him getting on his bed.
“Is there anything else you nee-d, your Majesty?” I asked walking going towards him.
“No, you can go now” He ordered and my eyes dropped on his hand.
He had tied a bandage around his injury.
This means he just called me here to close his windows.
Seriously?!
“Goodnight, your highness” I said with a bow before walking to the door.
“Hold on…I think there’s one more thing” He mumbled and I froze.
You got to be kidding me.
I was so sleepy and craved to lie down.
I turned and marched back to him.
“Go and check if the windows at my bathroom is locked” He spoke softly.
I titled my head and went straight to the bathroom. This is ridiculous!
I looked in and smiled admiring the luxury and sp-otless whites.
“The windows are all closed” I muttered un-der my breath before going back to him.
“Is there anything else?” I asked with pleading eyes.
He looked up at the ceiling for a while..
“I can’t remember any for now but, you can lay beside me as I think over it” He offered.
Oh geez!
I went to the other side of the bed and covered myself up with the duvet.
“Are you sleepy?” He asked and I shook my head negatively.
“Good…come close” He whispered and I shifted nearer to him that our arms tou-ched.
“Do you have any questions about me?” He asked briskly.
I thought for a second.
“Its about you mom. What did she do that you had her locked up?” I asked and he scoffed.
“I said about ME. Not anyone else” He groused and I chuckled.
“Please tell me, King Lee” I said grinning.
He sighed and leaned back on the dozen pillows.
“She helped the enemies kill my father and then…she tried to kill me too. I don’t know what to do with her yet but I’m gonna make sure her death is slow and painful” He stated.
I couldn’t believe him just yet.
The queen looks so kind and innocent.
How could she do such a thing??
“Anyways, I’ll ask you a question about you…why don’t you behave like a princess?” He asked removing his robe.
I was starting to feel nervous..
“I don’t know…I’m just different” I replied despondently.
He shrugged and adjusted himself on the bed.
“I know that feeling of being different. I’ve been called a psychopath all my life but I just pity the doctors i murdered when I was taken to a psychiatric hospital as a boy” He said and laid properly on the bed.
“Goodnight, princess” He whispered and turned off the lights.
I cringed and tou-ched my che-st as my heart beat like it would pump out soon.
I know I have to tell him everything about me soon but I’m sure he’s not gonna take it lightly with me.
How long will I keep punishing myself?
I’ll confess everything tomorrow morning and face the consequences.
I have to do this before the wedding.
Dawn’s mother’s pov❤
I growled rolling on the bed.
The sickness was making me weaker by the minute and I fear I’ll give up soon..
If only my baby girl – Dawn was here.
She would just touch my tummy and all the pains will disappear.
I’m always getting sick and I think that’s the reason God gave Dawn healing powers.
I growled again almost to the point of shedding tears.
The pain was twice the pain of labor.
I could ba-rely take it…
Oh, Dawn…
Where are you to heal me from this pain?

Dawn’s pov?
I perceived the nice fragrance of a thick perfume and I opened my eyes immediately.
Its morning already.
I looked around the room and saw King Lee standing by the mirror.
He was dressed in a black suit and his hair was well combed.
Where’s he going to?…
He finally turned and I saw his beautiful face staring at me.
“Good morning, your Majesty” I muttered stretching on the bed.
“Yeah…whatever” He groused picking up his rings from the table and putting it on.
“How’s your wound, your highness?” I asked getting off the bed.
“Huh?” He asked looking lost…
“I’m referring to the cut you had yesterday” I said and he cracked.
“Its healing” he responded.
“I’m going to the court and won’t be here till midnight” He informed checking his glittering gold wrist watch.
Aargh…
Won’t I ruin his good mood by telling him about me so early in the morning??
But then…
I just wanted to get it off my che-st.
“There’s something I want to tell you, your highness” I said with a shaky voice.
