Alicia?
I made a grimace as rays of light pene-trated into the cell and reflected on my face.
The door was opened and the guards had walked in – I felt there prese-nce but I couldn’t see them properly.
My eyes burnt as I made effort to see if I could get rid of the blur vision.
*The king has ordered for your release* A de-ep voice said and It triggered some sort of familiarity.
I think its Tristan. If I’m not mistaken.
They helped me up and it took a lot of effort for me to get back on my feet.
The torture I’ve been throu-ghreally broke me in pieces.
I jus want to eat something edible so I could regain my strength.
I was taken to my bedroom and the maids helped me clean up.
My hair was as filthy as a rag and I had to use different flavors of shampoo to wash off the dirt.
I wore a better dress before having something to eat.
Xenia was brou-ght in later and I embr@ced her like I was gone for years.
Then she broke out crying.
“I want us to leave this place, mommy” she cried and I did all I could to console her.
There were death marks of the cane at my back. It would take months before it clears.
I deserve It all…
I killed a helpless baby – The King’s baby.
I’m just glad King Lee didn’t report me to the royal court.
It would have been more disastrous.
I’m sure the king knows that princess is a healer but he still did nothing about it. Anyways, I accept my fate now.
He can move the whole world for her, I care less.
But I’ll just have to accept Tristan’s love and stop pushing him away.
Besides, we share something strong together.
Dawn?
The je-rk grabbed my hair and dragged me off the bed.
I pushed him but he didn’t even flinch.
He picked up a machete from the floor and gripped my arm rou-ghly.
He started leaving the room while I fought helplessly with him.
There was so much noise outside and I presumed it to be gunshots.
He kept leading me throu-ghanother route and soon, we were at the back of the house.
“What did I do to you?? Why are you hurting me like this?!” I yelled struggling with him.
“Your husband killed my brother. That’s enough reason to destroy you. An eye for an eye!” He rasped and pulled me along with him towards the bushes.
So this is all an act of revenge…
I should have known.
Castro?
It was a blood bath as we kept shooting the King’s soldiers.
There’s no sign of Kalani or King Lee anywhere.
I stopped shooting when I noticed, there’s just four men left on our side.
I turned around ran back to the house.
Manuel has already left with Dawn…
Thank goodness.
I followed the back and ran to the bush.
This mission is completely blown up.
Nothing worked out as planned.
How did our plans get leaked???
I was filled up with rage as I kept going.

Two Hours Later?
*

Manuel?
I felt weak and drained as I kept walking throu-ghthe forest with the princess.
I was thirsty and tired and the sun showed no mercy.
The machete I held weighed me down the more but i didn’t give up.
Dallen.
I made him a promise and I shall fulfill it.
“So, where are you taking me?” She asked calmly.
“The perfect sp-ot where I want you killed” I gr-unted and pushed her to walk fas-ter.
“I don’t care if King Lee witnesses your death anymore. He will have to pick up your corpse later. And trust me, he’ll still be able to replace you with another princess from another kingdom. That psychopath!” I growled looking around.
“I can’t walk anymore…I’m tired” She said in a flaccid tone.
She slumped on the floor shaking her head.
“It’s best if you kill me now” she muttered.
I scoffed.
“Stand up!!” I yelled.
“No, I won’t stand up” I shot back and folded my arms.
“King Lee and I agreed we would meet at a pa-rticular venue so we must get there!” I said and dragged her up.
“You psychopath! Can’t you see how obsessed you sound? Your brother’s death is not what is troubling you, its your jealousy towards the king” she chided.
I clenched my fist getting agitated with what she just said.
I was drunk in anger.
“Get up!” I pulled her up and pushed her once more.

One hour later
*

Dawn?
We got to a cliff and I sat on the ba-re floor unable to walk once more.
“We are here” The mad man – Manuel said and raised his machete looking at it closely.
I can’t believe I’m about to get slaughtered.
Its for the best though.
Haven’t I suffered enough already?
I looked up and saw someone sitting on a big rock.
He had his back on us.
I think that’s King Lee???
He turned around and got down from the rock.
“I’m here now, Manuel…and I came on time like you asked” he said and smiled.
Manuel laughed and went behind me.
“I just wanted you to watch me kill her just like you killed my poor brother – Dallen” He sneered and tou-ched my ne-ck with the knife.
I shivered instantly.
“You love her, don’t you?” He asked and King Lee looked at me.
I stared else where and only prayed for the ground would swallow me.
“Well…answer!” Manuel yelled and pushed the machete to hurt my throat.
“I don’t” He replied and I cringed.
My eyes welled up immediately.
“You don’t love her?” Manuel asked sounding surprised.
“Yes. I don’t love her, but she’s mean the world to me. Tell Dallen, I said – Hi” The king said and suddenly, I heard a gunshot.
The machete around my ne-ck dropped to the ground and I turned to see Manuel on the floor.
Raphael was behind us.
He was the one that had shot Manuel.
I stood up immediately and wiped my tears.
The king came close to me and tou-ched me but I yanked my hand off his.
“Leave me alone!” I said childishly.
“What? Why?” He said with a chuckle.
“You don’t love me so leave me alone!” I bickered and backed him.
“I just wanted to distract him. I didn’t mean that…” He said hu-gging me from behind.
“I feel so weak” I mumbled and he carried me in his arms.
“Raphael, call the jet” He said and Raphael nodded.
`
`
After a while, a white jet landed and we entered. It took off immediately.
I couldn’t help but reminisce over what I’ve been throu-ghtoday.
Some pa-rt of me wished King Lee didn’t kill Manuel.
He just wanted to avenge his brother.

Later that night?

Bethel’s pov?
[Dawn’s mother]
I entered the room slowly with two maids behind me.
I couldn’t stop staring around the place like a village girl.
The whole place was radiant and fabricated with a lot of porcelain materials.
“This is the room the King has @$$igned to you, ma’am Bethel” one of the maids said and I shook my head in disbelief.
I don’t remember asking God for anything like this. I just wanted him to make Dawn experience a better life than I did.
He’s such a promise keeper!
I sat on the bed feeling relieved from the long walk from downstairs.
Who knew stairs could be so long and broad??
“Where’s my daughter?” I asked as I watched them put down my things next to the closet.
“She will meet you tomorrow ma’am”.
I sighed and laid on the soft bed.
Its been ages since I felt this….
Dawn?
My eyes flared and I blinked rapidly.
I could hear his heart beat against my left ear. So clear and like music to my ears.
I was on top of the king and he had his hands around me.
I sat up on the bed cudd-led in King Lee’s coat I wore.
The fur was so soft.
I suffered a terrible headache last night but right now, my head feels lighter than before.
He sat up too and started removing the rings on his fin-gers.
I removed mine too and he cracked.
“What are you doing?” He asked and I wore the ring back on my fin-ger.
“There’s a tracker in it so don’t ever take it off, alright?”.
I nodded gawping at him sheepishly.
So that how he always knew where I went to.
Even when I found his mom in that room.
???King Lee!!!
“I thought Its morning already” I muttered and yawned loudly.
“Go back to sleep then” He groused rolling his eyes.
I hit him on his arm softly. He smiled trying to hit back and I screamed making him flinch.
I laughed out loud and he chuckled.
“Silly girl” He muttered.
“So, I’m no longer br@inless rat??” I asked hysterically.
“Of course, you are” He chimed and I chuckled.
“So, what happened to…sir Blade?” I asked with a shaky voice.
“Nothing special, yet. I won’t touch him until the king of Muzana gets here. I invited him” He said and I cringed.
“I remember calling him ‘father'” I whispered and he sighed.
He didn’t say anything as he came to where I was and sat before me with his legs folded just like mine.
“I noticed you stopped adding formalities to your se-ntences. Don’t forget I’m still the king” He smi-rked.
“I’m sorry, your highness. I just wasn’t talking to you as a my king. I saw you as my husband to be” I said grinning.
“Really? I didn’t think of that…” .
I chuckled and covered my face with my palms.
“I was just joking, your highness. I’m aware that people like me can’t get married to the king” I stated and I had no idea why I felt amused.
He tou-ched my hands and brou-ght them down from my face.
“Don’t be too sure, Dawn” He whispered gazing intently at me.
“But…if we don’t get married, we can be best friends, right?” I asked and he chuckled.
“I thought you’re having an headache, blabber beak” He sneered glaring at me.
“King Lee…” I faked crying and he pulled me into hu-g.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean it” He cooed and I held him ti-ghter.
I don’t know what’s wrong with me?
I don’t want to loose him.
I’m sure I love him more than I love myself.
Next Morning?
.
.
.
.
.
I couldn’t sleep more as I kept hearing noises from outside.
It seems like people were protesting…
I got off the bed and moved to the balcony where King Lee stood.
He noticed I was right behind me and he turned.
“Go back inside” He said calmly.
I quickly glanced at the large number of people outside the gate.
I was right!
There’s a protest going on.
?This is no place for witches!!
?Princess Anna must leave!
?The healer witch must go!!
?she’s evil!!
I covered my mouth unable to believe what I was hearing from the crowd.
They’re referring to me!…?
*what should we do about the crowd your highness?*
I turned and saw Raphael standing at the door.
“The soldiers should drive them back peacefully but if they prove stubborn, I want everyone of them flogged with no mercy” He replied and Raphael left the room.
The King turned and looked at me.
“Don’t even think about crying” He said and took my hand taking us back to the room.
We sat on the bed and he wiped the tears that had scrolled down on my cheeks.
“I’ve faced this before, you know. The people kept screaming and protesting that they won’t have a psychopath for a king.
“I was much worse when I was little. I was far more crazier and dangerous then. I’ve gone soft. And you made me more merciful than I used to be.
“Let the people talk all they want – thats the only thing they’re good at.
And now, if you’ll excuse me, I have some nagging old elders I nee-d to address”…
I chuckled with a shrug.
He ki-ssed me on the li-ps before leaving the room.
I feel so heartbroken..
