Alicia?
“What??!” Riley yelled with her eyes viciously wide.
“Oh for heaven’s sake, keep it down” I groused looking around the garden.
“Someone might hear us” I added and she rolled her eyes.
“I don’t care about that Alicia, what I’m worried about us you trying to get rid of this baby. Are you drunk?!” She screamed and I cringed.
“I’m fine, okay? I’m just preventing the wrath of King Lee when he discovers that the child is not his. Isn’t better I save myself from painful death than giving birth to a b*st*rd?” I asked perturbed.
“The child is not a b*st*rd…..”
“The father is a nobody. Tristan can ba-rely cater for his family and you want me to drop on his shoulders? I don’t like the idea if being poor, Riley” I bickered.
“God! What are you going to do about this?” She asked tilting her head.
“ab-ortion” I said mutely.
“Its going to be dangerous. The child is already growing. Its best you accept fate and tell the king while there’s still time”.
“Stop giving me the worst advice. Do you even think about Xenia? She’ll loose everything!” I blurted.
“You are not concerned about Xenia, you’re just selfish to the core” she blunted.
I glared at her.
“I shouldn’t have called you in the first place, just get lost!” I chided.
“The truth hurts Alicia. Anyways, I’m leaving. Sort your problems yourself. I’m not the one who opened my legs for that low life…” She muttered before leaving.
I scoffed.
Worst sister ever!
Dawn?
I kept pacing around the King’s room with nothing to do. I nee-d to find some book and pen and continue writing stories.
Its been a while since I thought of it. I was able to get a black thick covered notebook and pen.
I sat at the table where I’d be comfortable.
The book looked lovely from the outside and the designs seemed to be the symbol of Euphoris.
Its been drawn at the center of the kingdom’s flag.
I fli-pped the first pages and met a rou-ghsketch of someone with eyes. Its just a face.
Wow! I was marveled with how perfect the image was.
But then….
Why didn’t the artist add eyes to the boy’s face??
It must be King Lee’s work.
He’s a very good artist.
I went throu-ghthe next page and couldn’t hide the fear that gripped me at the moment – King Lee’s father.
It was a rou-ghsketch of his upper body.
Yes, it was rou-ghbut I could still tell it was him.
His face is rare and good looking too.
I remembered those moments he’d se-nd his soldiers to our village. They’d ransack the whole place in search of witches.
Mom would hide me at what seemed like a bush at the back of our hut.
My father would do all he can to drive those men away.
Not that he loved me, he just wouldn’t want to get in trouble with the King when they discover his daughter is a witch.
I stared at the drawing in disgust.
One thing makes me ponder too.
King Lee’s father was cold hearted and evil. How come he didn’t get rid of Lee when they found out he had mental problems??
I was told how he loved Lee so much that he killed anyone who called him a ‘mad boy’.
He defended him so much that he trained him to be the best fighter more than all his students.
I lifted the page and turned it over anxious to see what he drew next.
My fingers shook and I let go off the paper.
Oh my goodness!
How is this possible???
I was staring at a drawing of me smiling.
How did he draw this? I never posed or caught him holding a pen and paper, I pondered.
Could it be he imagined it?
Oh King Lee. You’re full of surprises.
I tou-ched the ne-cklace that has been around my ne-ck.
*I love you so much* I said subconsciously.
I heard footsteps outside the door and I shut the book immediately.
He must be here!
I grabbed the two and quickly returned it back to where I found it.
Suddenly, the noise of door knob twisting startled me.
I jumped on the bed and instantly stayed as though I was asleep.
I hope he doesn’t suspect I’m faking it.
Slow sound of footsteps followed and I presumed he was coming to the bed.
The wild scent of sweet fragrance filled my nostrils. There’s no doubt its King Lee!
I felt him sitting on the bed and I remained stiff with my eyes closed.
“Hey” He said gently.
I didn’t react and next thing I felt was his two fingers hold my nose. He shut them together so I wouldn’t breath.
“Your highness!” I gasped.
He released his fingers from them and I opened my eyes.
I sat up on the bed and drew close to him.
I lost control and kizzed him softly his li-ps.
He dee-pened the kizz and I wished he wouldn’t stop.
What has gotten into me?…
“What have you been doing all day?” He asked dropping his phones next to me.
“I was with Caroline at the garden. She br@ided my hair” I replied gleefully.
“Ah. It made you look sixteen” He chimed staring at it.
“I wonder how you would look if you br@ided your hair” I stated.
“Really now?” He smi-rked and I laughed.
“Um….how’s your mom?” I asked and his face changed – he looked serious now.
“Don’t ask me that” He said and started taking off his shirt.
Argh! This is going to be tough.
I got off the bed and took his shirt from him.
“Do you want to take a bath? So…I can go prepare your bath?” I asked while he stared.
I smiled wondering what he was staring at. I traced his eyes and I figured he was staring at my stomach.
Wait a minute!
“Is it big?” I asked covering it with the shirt.
Could it be my tummy is getting big already????

Dawn?
He got up from the bed and came to where I was.
“Why are you freaking out? I was just staring at the design” He breathed out and I relaxed a bit.
“Really?”
“Yeah…what’s wrong? Did you eat something bad or are you expecting it to grow big?” He asked coyly.
I chuckled nervously and took a step back.
“Its nothing. I’m just being silly” I prevaricated.
He shrugged and grabbed his shirt from my hands. I felt awkward as he fixed his eyes at my stomach.
What could he be thinking? For a moment there, I thought the pregnancy was developing already.
“You really have a flat tummy – It’s cute” He remarked before leaving for the bathroom.
He doesn’t know.
Thank goodness.
I don’t know when would be the right time to tell him. Maybe next week.
After he has rested from his traveling, I’ll let him know.
Caroline?
The hallway was empty and quiet as I headed for the princess’s bedroom with the laundry basket.
I feel so glad to be on princess Anna or should i say Dawn’s safe side.
And its my duty to protect her secret from leaking throu-ghthe palace.
No one else must know.
I realized the constant Gr0-ning coming from the garden. I followed the noise to where it was coming from and I met Queen Alicia on her knees as she vomited uncontrollably.
Is she sick?
“Your highness” I called and helped her stand on her feet.
Her face was so pale and weak.
“Are you okay?” I asked dumbfounded.
“What sort of question is that? Do I look okay?” She blasted weakly.
I felt like letting go off her so she’d fall.
Such an arrogant and ungrateful person.
“I’m sorry, your highness, what do you nee-d?” I further asked.
“Just help me get to my room and make sure you dont tell anyone about this” she peeved while I pulled her along with me.
“Alright, my queen”
“My head hurts so much. The headache is killing!” She growled.
“Sorry, we’ll get there soon” I whispered.

To be honest, I’ve never seen queen Alicia without makeup and just looking at her horrible natural face got me amused.
I helped get to her room where two of her maids were and they took it up from there.
The doctor was already on his way so I left for the room.
I wonder what’s wrong with her.
Of course she eats good food and lives in comfort here.
What sort of illness could be bothering her like this?
Anyways, not everyone’s body is the same. She must have eaten something bad.
Alicia?
I dont un-derstand why the pregnancy is causing me so much discomfort.
I guess there are drugs I nee-d to be taking to correct the crazy throw ups and headaches.
I just pray no one tells the king about this.
I’ll get rid of this child at all cost.
It must not be the reason i would be dethroned.
I opened my heavy eyes to see the doctor walking in and someone seemed to be behind him.
I waited till they were close enough and I glanced up at the person – Tristan.
No! What’s he doing here???
If he finds out I’m pregnant with his child, he won’t let me ab-ort it.
Oh Heavens. I nee-d a miracle right now.

(Evening)

Kalani?
“This your maid uniform, congratulations. You’ve been giving the job as one of the hall cleaners” The chubby lady said handing me a folded black clothe.
“Thank you ma’am. I promise not to disappoint you” I replied taking It from her.
“Good. Get to work immediately” she ordered snapping her fingers.
I nodded and she walked away.
Fool.
I reached for the shoes that went along with the uniform.
Just like the lady said; “Get to work”.
I went into the closet and got dressed.
What a lovely uniform, I thought as I walked out towards the table In the kitchen.
There were few maids around occu-pied with cooking.
“Hi” I said to one of them in the most friendliest tone.
“I’m the new maid. Which one is the King’s dinner so i can help deliver it?” I asked beaming.
“There” She replied pointing.
I walked to the specific table and saw the large bowl of soup.
I carefully bought out the little antidote and poured it all into the bowl.
Luckily, everyone’s busy.
The antidote would only affect someone with mental trauma and that is – King Lee.
I smi-rked and stepped away from the table.
Dawn?
I sat on the bed watching King Lee get dressed In his night royal robe.
He sprayed different br@nds of perfumes. Applied some fancy cream on his hair which made it look stunning.
Then, some emollient on his feet.
You’d think he was going for a sleeping parade.
“Are you done?” I asked as he lifted me up from the bed.
“No. One thing’s remaining – A nice m@$$age from you but that’ll be after dinner” He replied.
A knock came on the door and he made a positive response.
The door opened and some maids came in with a stroller containing so mamy edibles.
“Come on” He chimed and took my hand.
We approached the dinning together.
