Dawn?
King Lee and i had our dinner quickly but he didn’t have much of an appetite.
I’m glad he’s not going to bed on any empty stomach.
We were on our way to the bed when a knock came on the door.
I decided to go see who it was and I met the doctor with his briefcase.
“Princess Anna” He called austerely.
“Good evening, doctor…do you want to see me?” I asked feeling nervous.
“No, my dear. I’m here to meet the king” He replied and I shrieked.
“You haven’t told him I’m pregnant, have you?” I whispered bi-ting ha-rd on my lower li-p.
“No, I @$$ure you—”
“Let him in” King Lee interpolated from behind and I stepped back from the way.
The doctor came into the room while the king met up with him.
I couldn’t help but worry.
Why’s the doctor here??
King Lee?
“Can you give us some privacy?” I asked Dawn but she seemed to be lost.
“Sweetheart?” I called and she batted her lashes.
“Can you go to the garden and wait for a while?” I further asked and she nodded.
She turned and walked away.
“What’s wrong with Alicia?” I asked squinting my eyes.
“She has asked me not to tell you but…she’s pregnant. Over two months now. She’s struggling with some of the symptoms but I’ve put her on medication” He stated taking off his lens.
“Oh…I see” I mumbled before bursting into a sardonic laugh.
“They’re both pregnant, aren’t they?” I asked in between laughs.
“Yes, your highness” He muttered staring at me like I had gone nuts.
The same look that the elders of the kingdom throw at me.
I’m definitely used to it.
“How about Dawn? Does she nee-d any medicine or some kind of drugs??” I asked breezily.
“Not right now. The symptoms are yet to come but it’ll soon”.
I nodded and ru-bbed my forehead lightly.
It was starting to get light and wavy.
“Have she been able to tell you?” His voice came again and I rolled my eyes.
“I’ll let her take her time. It won’t be easy for her since we aren’t married” I replied.
“Alright then. Till next week, your highness” He bowed before leaving the room.
I sighed and headed for the garden.
I met Dawn standing afar and her back turned on me.
I moved over to where she stood and lifted her into my arms.
She gasped and wrapped her hands around my ne-ck.
“What did the doctor say?” She asked wide-eyed.
“He said you’re getting fat” I teased and she seemed to freak out.
“Really???” She screamed.
“Yeah…but there’s nothing wrong with that, right?” I asked sm-irking.
“You can’t be serious, King Lee! The doctor didn’t say that” she whined like a baby.
I shrugged and began taking us back to the bedroom. I gently dropped her on the bed before getting beside her.
“Are you sleepy?” She asked staring at me.
“No but I feel different. My head is acting strange” I mumbled.
“Sorry, King Lee” She cooed ru-b-bing the back of my hand.
“It’s alright”…
“Your highness, aren’t you going to forgive your mother?” She blunted.
“If you talk about her again, I’ll kill her. She’s of no use to me” I replied coldly.
I heard her sniff and drop on my body.
“Lee….” She whispered hu-gging me closely.
“I love you so much”.
“I love you too, Dawn. I’m sorry but she hurt me de-eply after she helped bad men kill my father. I won’t let her go…”
And with that, I succu-mbed to the intense sleep that had been knocking.
Kalani?
I was more than glad when I discovered that King Lee ate the soup. He didnt eat much but at least he ate something – enough to have an effect on him.
I smi-rked and laid on the bed.
I’m glad I have a roof over my head…
Alicia?
I looked around the dark p@$$age waiting on the maid I’ve se-nt to get me an ab-ortion pill.
I’ve been waiting for almost an hour now and she haven’t showed.
The last thing I want right now is to be seen by guards whom are on night duty.
I saw her image coming close and I almost leaped.
“I’m sorry I took long. The sto-re was closed when i arrived and I had to go to the woman’s house” she breathed out.
I took the bottle from her hand.
“Alright. Thank you,….you can leave now” I ordered and she bowed, walking as fast as possible.
Another image was coming from the other side of the p@$$age and I flinched.
Who on Earth?…
I tried to make a run when I heard my name.
*Alicia!*
I froze and took a quick glance to discover he was already close.
Tristan.
“I know you’re pregnant, is the baby mine?” He asked pa-nting.

Alicia?
“I don’t care whose child it is. I’m getting rid of it…and no one can stop me” I jibed worriedly.
“You can’t terminate the pregnancy Alicia – its my child for peace sake!” He rasped holding my wrist.
“King Lee will soon find out about this. How can I live at the castle as the queen while I’m carrying another man’s child?” I asked and he sighed.
“Please Alicia. Don’t do this. We’ll escape from the castle…I’ll take you to my mother’s house—”
“Aren’t you ashamed of yourself? You don’t even have your own house!!” I yelled irritably.
“Calm down. Yelling won’t solve anything” He chimed.
I rolled my eyes.
This man is a lunatic!
“Look here Tristan, I’m not loosing the throne. What about Xenia??? What’s gonna be her fate?”.
“She’s the King’s first child, he won’t throw her out…” He stressed and I cringed.
“Xenia would grow up without me. She’ll be surrounded by strangers. Her father won’t have time for her and so would the maids in the castle. I can’t leave her here alone. Of course I know the King would claim rights over her so I would leave without her. What on earth am I going to do??” I peeved as tears scrolled down my cheeks.
“What if you damage your wo-mb in the process of getting rid of the child?” He asked and I shook my head despondently.
“I don’t care”.

(Next Morning)

Dawn?
I opened my eyes slowly when I heard the noise of gl@$$es shattering on the floor.
I rose from the bed a bit shocked by the noises. King Lee was standing by the window.
His head was bent and there were remainings of broken bottles next to his feet.
It looked like a bottle of vodka.
He has to drink so early in the morning?
I climbed out of the bed p@$$ing my legs into his fli-p flops before going to where he was.
“Hey” I called and he turned fervently.
“Are you alright, your highness?” I asked noticing the rou-ghness on his face.
He seemed to be p@$$ing throu-ghso much tension.
“My head is driving me crazy, Dawn. I’ve not felt like this in a long time” He said in a croaked voice.
“Calm down. Maybe its because you’ve not rested enough. You nee-d to sleep some more” I said perturbed.
I can’t help but feel pity for him. Although I can’t imagine what he’s going throu-ghright now.
“No. I nee-d to meet with the King of Muzana this morning. He’s on his way. I also nee-d to go to the court—”
“But, King Lee…”
“Don’t worry about me, hunn” He cooed and placed a short kizz on my cheek.
He left for the bathroom and in few minutes, I heard the shower running.
I wish there was something I could do.
Besides, he didn’t tell me what the wise woman professed about my powers.
He didn’t tell me anything.
I’m not gonna bother him now. Maybe tomorrow.
King Lee?
I returned to the bedroom already dressed up In my royal suit.
Dawn was occu-pied packing up the shattered gl@$$es.
“Are you sure it won’t hurt you?” I asked and she nodded.
“Yeah, I’m almost done” She replied backing me.
I shrugged and sat on the seat.
My eyes weren’t straight and it dangled bit by bit.
What could be causing this now?…
I opened the last drawer and picked up the box containing drugs. Drugs specifically for my head pains.
Its been long since I took them.
Something’s not right somewhere..
After taking the medications, I got up swiftly adjusting the suit.
“Don’t over work yourself, Your highness” Dawn said and hu-gged me ti-ghtly.
I chuckled and kizzed her li-ps.
“I’m alright. See you when I get back, we have something to talk about” I said before the room.
I walked down the stairs and it seemed like I was starting to see the negative color of things.
The drugs ain’t working but I’d manage.
I entered the office and met the King of Muzana already on his feet waiting for me.
I went straight to the chair and sat down.
“How are you, King Lee?” He asked taking his seat.
“It doesn’t matter. I called you because of your supposed daughter – princess Anna who is really Dawn” I deadpanned.
He chuckled nervously.
“I’m sorry, I deceived you, King Lee. I had no choice but to pla-y along with Sir Blade’s plan” He wavered.
I scoffed.
“A simple apology won’t bring me to forgive you” I muttered and he held a crumpled look.
“Please don’t destroy us, King Lee. I would do anything!” He pleaded.
“Its simple. I want you to follow me to the court and tell the elders that Princess Anna is dead and you and your warrior for-ced Dawn to impersonate your daughter” I stated.
“What?…but that’ll create a big problem at my kingdom. I may even be outvoted as King. I will loose my throne!” He yelped.
I shrugged.
“I don’t care” I said and stood up.
“Shall we?”….
