Dawn?
I bumped into King Lee on my way to the throne room. He looked happy and I told him about Xenia.
“Let’s go then. She nee-ds to start letting the maids feed her. I won’t be around all the time” He mumbled as we strolled to her room together.
“She’s still sad about her mom leaving. She can’t stop being moody and perturbed” I said worriedly.
“She’ll get over it. You can help her, Dawn. You’re her second mom, right now”.
“I realized. How’s your mother? She ba-rely comes out of her room after the day she spoke in court” I recalled.
“She’s used to being indoors so that’s virtually her business” He replied coldly.
I opened the door to Xenia’s room and we entered. She sat on the bed quietly.
There’s no doubt she’s going throu-ghsomething. She’s being disturbed emotionally.
“Hey princess” King Lee called and knelt beside her on the bed.
“Daddy!” She yelped and hu-gged him ti-ghtly.
“Come on…let’s eat together” He offered.
“Okay” she muffles and got down from the bed.

NIGHT BEFORE THE WEDDING
*
Tristan?
“He ruined her! He got married to her and made her have his first child. He never gave her the love she deserved. Attention, care – nothing at all! And now he just se-nt her back to her father’s kingdom. Separating her from her daughter. Argh! I can’t help but get more angry” I blasted ruffling my hair.
“Pull yourself together Tristan. You’re in no place to fight the King. What he did is not right but there’s nothing we can do but let the sleeping dog lie. We can’t afford to cause trouble! Not when we’ll be receiving out salary tomorrow, c’mon!” Phili-p stated and the others bursted out laughing.
“What are you going to do? Steal his bride?? I heard that this princess has charmed him completely and he destroys whoever tries to hurt her and tomorrow is their wedding. She officially becomes a queen” August said and more laughter erupted.
“You idiots don’t un-derstand” I muttered clenching my fists.
“We do Tristan but I think you’re just getting angry for nothing. I think its because you’re drunk” Phili-p teased and I chuckled.
“You see! He’s drunk!!” He added and more laughter emerged.
I joined them in laughing like a fool but de-ep down in my heart, all I felt was de-ep anger and heartbreak for Alicia.
I’m mad that she ab-orted the child but the truth is…I don’t even have enough money to take care of her and the baby.
It just hurts me more that her wo-mb is damaged and it would take a miracle for her to deliver again.
I’m going to get back at him. I’ll hurt King Lee for hurting Alicia. And I don’t care when I do it. Possibly tomorrow.
When the wedding would be going on.
He deserves it.
Dawn?
My hands dropped on the bed making a loud thud sound. The darkness in the room was thick and the light from the moon shone throu-ghthe window.
I sighed and hit my hands against the duvet on the bed again.
“Is that you, your highness?” Caroline’s tiny voice asked.
“I can’t sleep!” I replied with a little bit of desperation resounding in my tone.
“But tomorrow is such a big day. You have to try, My princess” She cooed and I shook my head negatively though she couldn’t see me.
“It won’t work…I’m sure” I jibed perfunctorily.
The light from the electric lamp beside the bed flic-kered on brightening the room instantly.
Caroline was on her knees – she had turned on the lamp.
“You’ve been throu-ghso much, my princess and now you’ll finally be married to the man of your dreams and live the life you’ve always dreamed of, so why can’t you sleep soundly tonight?” She asked quizzically.
“To be honest – I don’t know. I can’t seem to shut my eyes and sleep off. Its like I’m not meant to sleep tonight” I groused.
“Is there anything you can’t stop thinking about??” She further asked.
“No…nothing at all. Although I’m nervous about tomorrow but its nothing serious. I’ve been throu-ghworse situations so walking down the aisle won’t be a problem at all” I replied blandly.
“It’s almost midnight” She interpolated and my eyes drifted to the clock hanging on the wall.
Goodness!!!
Few minutes to twelve.
I clutched onto the duvet and shuddered.
“No nee-d to panick, You’ve memorized your speech to the kingdom and your waltz steps. Even the postures and dance…what else could be missing?” She asked curiously.
I exhaled gazing at the ceiling. The tears were starting to stream down my cheeks and the heartaches! I’ve never felt this pain since he left. Since that morning…
“My father” I replied in a cracked tone.

[Episode Eighty Five]

(Wedding day)
Dawn
I was hoping the castle would be filled up and occu-pied with a hu-ge crowd from the whole kingdom and afar but no – it was just people with important positions and the wealthiest families.
The royal priest had done the first wedding rituals and we said our vows and wore the rings. It was time for the proper ball and luckily, much things weren’t required from me.
Mom was here dressed so ravishing and shimmering her gold gown. Caroline posed as the bride’s maid and Xenia as the little bride.
I never for once sat down and thought about me getting married some day. And now its happening in such a way that surprises me.
There were so much gift prese-nted by the guests and Caroline was in charge of putting them away from the hall.
It was finally time for the King and I to take our first dance together, before everyone.
He led me to the center of the hall and camera lights flashed nonstop at us. He slowly placed his hand at my wa-ist and the other at my left hand.
The music pla-yed softly and so was our steps. The atmosphere was filled with so much love that I could feel it right where I stood.
“Dawn…I never want to hurt you again. I’m head over hills for you” He whispered and I arched my brows.
“What does that mean?” The question dropped though I wanted to hold it back.
“It means I’m in love with you” He replied and I flushed.
“I love you too, King Lee” I beamed as we finished the dance.
Another tone began and the guests joined us dancing with their pa-rtners.
I was starting to love slow dance. Its soothing and calms the soul. It really takes one to another atmosphere.
<~~•~~>
We sat on the throne next to each other. The royal adviser was calling on the names of important personnel’s as they came forward and bowed to the throne.
The new crown on my head was quite heavy and I’m just getting used to it.
Who knew Queens carry such thick load on their head on special occasions??
“Princess Ciara and Prince Aaron of the Kingdom of Guadalupe” The adviser announced as the prince and princess bowed before us.
King Lee slightly nodded his head and the duo walked backwards. Another set of royal from a different kingdom stepped forward.
Raphael ambled to us lowering his head. He got to where King Lee was and whispered into his ear. They conversed in little voices before he left.
“What’s wrong? Is there a problem?” I asked not glancing at him.
“The elders refused to accept the drinks. They claimed they won’t take anything until I apologize for locking them up” He replied and I chuckled.
“The King Lee I know won’t apologize” I remarked grinning.
“You know me too well, sweetheart” He whispered and kizzed the back of my hand.
“The ring is quite heavy. What’s it made of?” I asked gazing at the ringed finger.
“Gold” He muttered before we got up from the throne together.
“All hail King Lee of Euphoris and all hail Queen Dawn of Euphoris!!!” The adviser’s de-ep voice yelled.
There was loud response and rounds of applause followed.
I’m now a queen!
Tristan?
“The King didn’t drink the wine. You know he’s not too careless” He gr-unted and I slammed the wall ha-rd.
He got lucky this time. Next time I have an opportunity, I’ll definitely kill him with my ba-re hands.
(Wedding night)
Dawn?
I rushed into the room surprised to meet it empty. Where…where did all my things go??!!
“Caroline!!!” I yelled perturbed.
She ran in all changed In a dowdy dress.
“What happened here? Was I ru-bbed??” I asked looking around the scarce place.
“No, your Majesty. King Lee ordered for your properties to be taken to his bedroom and that’s where they are, right now” She replied sardonically.
I sighed and ru-bbed my forehead.
King Lee…!
He didn’t tell me about this.
“Please escort me to his bedroom” I said and she walked alongside me.
(Three months later)
The sound of the gates opening from downstairs made me realize King Lee was back from his travel.
I giggled and continued typing on the laptop on my thi-ghs. I’m five months pregnant for King Lee and my tummy is starting to get pretty big.
King Lee on the other hand has been traveling so much and this is going to be the first time I’m seeing him in two weeks.
He left me and Xenia here for some stupid meeting with other kings.
Most times I wish he won’t be King for just one month.
The feeling would be Incredible.
King Lee
I had just returned from China and the three persons that has occu-pied my mind is Dawn, Xenia and the unborn baby.
I’ve been so busy that I fear she’s going to be mad at me when she sees me.
Thank goodness I remembered to get her some chocolate from Chinese’s best chocolate factory.
I don’t know but Dawn has been a real pain in the a•s. Her pregnancy is making her more stubborn and annoying.
And there’s nothing I can do because she’s my life…
The maids informed me that Xenia was still in school and won’t be back in the next few hours.
I met mom on the way.
Yes – my biological mother. I also had no choice but to make peace with her though she took away my dad so early.
I won’t gain much from hating her forever.
“How was the flight?” She asked ruffling my hair.
Argh! She’s ruining the perfect smooth hair I made for Dawn.
“It was cl@$$ic. I’ll see you later, mom” I chipped and kizzed her on her cheek before scurrying off.
I was finally at the door to the bedroom.
I did my breathing exercises before going in. I caught her on the couch working on her laptop.
I rushed to her and pulled her into a hu-g.
God! I’ve missed her.
“I missed you, D. So much! I’m sure you missed me too, hun” I cooed holding onto her ti-ght.
“Lee, your shirt is smelling” She said and I blinked. Whaaat?
