King Lee?
The King of Muzana and I walked into the court escorted by the guards.
The elders and other council members go on their feet.
Sir Blade was standing at the middle of the room – chained and has bruises all over.
I took a de-ep breath and approached the throne. Let’s get this over with…
.
.
Dawn?
Time went by so quickly and soon, it was evening.
The castle has been quiet than usual.
Its like everyone was asleep.
Including Alicia.
I’ve not seen her since morning.
Caroline informed me that she was sick the other yesterday and the doctor came over to check up on her.
No wonder he was here to see the King.
I just miss my powers.
It feels like a big pa-rt of me is gone.
I’m powerless!
.
.
The door opened and the King walked in.
He looked tired and rushed to sit on the couch.
I ran to him and plonked into his arms.
“King Lee” I mumbled tearfully.
He wrapped his hands around me and we cudd-led for some seconds.
I could inhale his wonderful scent and it seemed to engulf me.
A broad smile crept on my face like the feeling would never end.
He slowly withdrew his hands and ruffled his hair with it.
“Are you okay? Are the pains still there??” I asked quizically and he looked away.
“King Lee, did I do something wrong?” I asked breathless.
“Can you please leave me alone for tonight? I…I don’t want to hurt you” He whispered..
I felt like my heart was being pierced.
That was the last thing I nee-ded to hear from his li-ps.
At least not tonight – when I was prepared to tell him that I was pregnant.
Screw that..
He doesn’t want to hurt me.
What does he mean by that??
I dragged myself up from his body. His face was completely fixed elsewhere like I was a plague or something bad.
I turned around and left the room.
Kalani?
I stole few glances at the mirror checking out the dress I wore.
It was a beautiful dinner gown and exp-osed my shape m@$$ively.
Perfect outfit for phase two of my plan.
I picked up the mask on the table and put it on my face.
I’m so prepared to go.
King Lee should be on alert because I definitely won’t go easy on him.
I received a call throu-ghmy cellphone and I quickly answered it.
“Kalani, its me. The doctor who sold the antidote to you” The hoarse voice stated and I sighed.
“Alright. Is there anything wrong?” I asked taking a look at the wall clock.
“Yes. I nee-d to tell you that the antidote won’t have any effect on the mentally disturbed person by tomorrow. Its going to subside soon”.
I gritted my teeth.
“And you’re telling me just now??!!” I yelled angrily.
“I’m sorry ma’am. It won’t happen again” He quivered and I disconnected the call.
What an idiot.
I dropped the phone and headed for the door.
King Lee?
I didn’t want her to go. It’s the last thing I nee-ded right now – her being away from me but I don’t want to hurt her.
When we arrived at the castle this evening, I attacked one of the guards and almost broke his arm.
I don’t know what’s wrong with me.
The violent traits are kicking back in.
I’m being mad again.
I thought it was over!
I returned into the room after having a cold bath. The water was extremely cold but I nee-ded it.
The room was dark and I just headed for the bed.
I suddenly heard some noise coming from the balcony. I turned on the lights and walked dolefully to it.
I was disappointed to see it was nothing.
I turned back to the bed and my heart skipped on seeing a woman at the entrance of the garden.
My heart started beating like a pa-rty drum.
Could it be I’m hallucinating and starting to see things. Or is she real?
She was extremely beautiful and there was thick makeup on her face. She so much looked like a doll.
Then her curves…
Too much exposure at her bossom.
She signalled for me to come close and before I could take a step, she disappeared.
I blinked my eyes rapidly trying to figure out what happened.
Where did she go to??
How did she even come into my room?
So much questions built up in my mind making my head ache the more.
D*mn! It hurts so much..

SOME DAYS LATER
~~~~~~
Dawn
He sat at the other edge of the table eating slowly and kept smiling at intervals.
I couldn’t help but ask myself – why’s he smiling??
Was there something on his mind that he can’t stop pondering about?
This is definitely not the King Lee I used to know.
He smiled broadly again and giggled.
“What’s making you so amused, My Lord?” I asked sm-irking.
“Her jokes of course” He said staring at the vacant seat at the dinning table?
“What are you talking about? Who’s jokes?” I asked sarcastically.
He didn’t say anything as he continued eating from his plate.
This is starting to get weird.
After breakfast, Caroline and I spent the rest of the day making br@celets. They were so colorful and I decided to donate them all to the orphanage.
I felt more at ease that everyone in the kingdom now knows I’m not Anna.
Though I heard the court objected to the King marrying me.
I just have to forget about the set backs and focus on the unborn child.
I’ve been more hungry than I used to be but the King haven’t noticed because he rather spends his time alone this days.
He keeps pushing me away and I wonder why…
Who is this imaginary friend of his???
King Lee’s pov:
The lady danced around the room while I watched In amazement. She’s so talented.
I’m sad though.
She just appears once in a while and disappears sometimes.
Our friendship is authentic.
I feel the connection between us – bonding..
After that night she visited me in my bedroom. She have been coming frequently to keep me company but I’m worried because no one else sees her.
Just me.
I can’t think of anything else but her.
Dawn’s pov:
Caroline pulled the door open and mom walked in. She looked gorgeous in her long dress with sleeves.
She have always loved to wear clothes with long sleeves.
“Hey mom” I greeted and she sat next to me on the bed.
“How are you?” She asked gently.
“I’m fine, I guess” I mumbled and slightly ru-bbed the back of my ne-ck.
“Come on Dawn…don’t tell me you’re keeping secrets now” She stated.
I inhaled so much air before releasing it the most relaxing way.
“King Lee is acting strange. He ba-rely talks to me these days and always want to be left alone. He acts like he has some imaginary friend who is better than me” I groused folding my arms.
“Does he know you’re carrying his child?” She asked and I felt a twinge within me.
“No…I haven’t told him” I replied.
“Well, I’d advise you tell him about the baby. And if he keeps treating you badly, I also suggest we leave this place”.
“What?!” I rasped.
“Yes, Dawn. I met a childhood friend yesterday, he’s now wealthy and can support us financially. He lives here around the city—-”
“But mom…I don’t want to leave the King” I whimpered and she scoffed.
“Isn’t it obvious? We have no place here. He’s not going to marry you. Its impossible for a King to get married to a commoner”.
“I know that mom but I won’t leave unless he se-nds me away himself, alright?” I asked getting up.
She shrugged shaking her head.
“Excuse me, mom. I have to go meet with him” I chipped before leaving the room.
The distinct noises of arguing erupted as I went p@$$ Alicia’s bedroom.
It sounded like she was arguing with a man. I stopped at the door and eavesdropped a little.
It was so much raucous that I decided to continue on my trip to the King’s chambers.
The guards weren’t even there so I walked right in.
I was shocked to see King Lee sitting on the floor.
I went closer and sat beside him.
“You should meet my friend sometime” He muttered and I scoffed.
“I don’t want to…She doesn’t exist” I groused.
“How come i see her every time?” He asked blankly.
“I don’t know. I don’t know what’s wrong with you, King Lee. You care about your friend so much. But I just want you to know that I’m pregnant with your baby” I whispered against his ear.
He seemed to froze for a while like he had just gone into a trance.
He suddenly turned and held my hands.
“You’re pregnant?” He asked while I nodded.
His eyes dropped to my tummy and he tou-ched it gently.
He suddenly wailed and tou-ched his forehead.
“Heal me, Dawn…please. I’m going insane” He mumbled and I dropped my head on his shoulder.

King Lee’s pov:
I kizzed Dawn’s soft hair as she slept soundily on the bed.
I miss her so much and some pa-rt of me still wants to kick her out.
But I can’t do that again.
I heard noises in the garden and climbed out from the bed.
She’s here. I can feel it.
And I think its the real lady, not the fake one.
I slowly took the sword next to the bed and approached the garden.
I want Dawn.
Only her…
Not some best friend.
It drives me nuts!
I met her leaning against the wall.
“What did you do to me?” I asked glaring at her with beady eyes.
“Nothing King Lee. Just wanted to keep you busy?” She giggled.
She took some steps closer and that was when I saw the sword she hid behind her.
I watched her slow move with squinting eyes. She’s definitely on to kill me.
She was now standing close to me.
Too close.
“What’s the cure to the drug you gave me?” I asked and she laughed hysterically.
“Beg me and I’ll tell you” She chuckled.
I rolled my eyes.
“Don’t bother” And with that, I pulled her close and stabbed the knife into her stomach.
She gasped and lost balance.
I left her to fall freely on the floor.
She’s smart.
Drugged me with some pills and caused me to see her every time.
I’m sure Dawn will heal me. She’s all I nee-d right now.
I have to work on the wedding arrangement. Anything just to be with her and first, I’ll have to forgive my mother.
