?Alicia’s pov?
“The maid has been paid just like we agreed” Esme informed with a low voice.
I smiled and turned to stare out throu-ghthe gl@$$ window.
“What about Simone…? Is she okay?” I asked worriedly.
She sighed not answering immediately while I scarcely anticipated.
“No one knows. The doctor was escorted straight to King Lee’s office without speaking to anyone” She replied perfunctorily.
I released the breath that hitched for a long time since Simone was taking away.
I didn’t mean to hurt her like that but I was desperate – killing two birds with one stone.
I get to put the new b***ch in trouble with the king and also keep Simone from giving birth to a son for the king.
I really didn’t want to put Simone throu-ghsuch pains. She have been here at the castle for almost a year now and we’ve gotten a little bit…peaceful.
I mean, she’s no longer a total stranger to me that I’d do something dangerous to her.
My heart couldn’t stop racing and I hated it. I couldn’t pull myself together after what I just did.
I took a de-ep sigh and I heard the door creek open.
I didn’t nee-d to turn since I knew it was a maid that had just entered.
“You’re nee-ded at the King’s office, my queen” She stated and I gulped.
Dawn’s pov?
I stood in front of the enormous doors to the King’s office.
I had been summoned and I overheard someone say I was being blamed for what happened to Simone.
Oh God…
This can’t be happening again.
Being accused falsely for something I know nothing about.
I composed myself and proceeded to entering the office.
The spacious office was dead quiet as I walked in with everyone’s eyes on me except for King Lee’s.
It took me a lot of courage to move closer into the office.
King Lee’s head was bent and he seemed to be in de-ep thoughts.
I know this because he normally poses like this when we were together at the garden at his room.
Footsteps emerged from behind and I turned to see Alicia walking in. Her escorts weren’t with her.
I turned back to the king and saw he was now looking up.
He held a doleful but facial expression on his face.
So handsome and gorgeous with the shimmering earrings. His fin-gers were occu-pied with different types and colors of rings.
Hmph.
I began feelings bu-tterflies dance around in my tummy. What could this be?
The royal doctor cleared his throat and my attention drifted to him.
“Simone’s food was drugged with an ab-ortion pill and the drugs reacted in a terrible way. The maid that served the food has been interrogated and she claims that she caught you – princess Anna adding an unidentified powder into Simone’s plate.
“So the question is princess Anna, did you do it?” He asked quizzically.
I gulped feeling my eyes water instantly and my li-ps vibr@ted.
What?
What’s…what’s he saying??
I bent my head unsure of where to start from to defend myself.
They all think I did this. How the hell do I start??
“She’s keeping quiet! And as as they say silence means she did it—” The doctor yelled pointing accusingly at me.
Suddenly, a cu-p flew from nowhere towards the doctor and I smashed on his head.
I gasped taking my hands to my che-st – stupefied.
I looked at King Lee to realize he was the one who threw the cu-p at the doctor.
Oh my God!!!
Did that just happen????
I stared back at the doctor and saw he was already bleeding at his bald head. He quickly placed his hands on the sp-ot wincing in excruciating pains.
Geez!
King Lee stood up from his seat and walked past the table area. He sat at the edge of the table staring casually at the doctor.
He rolled his eyes with a sigh.
“Its a crime to point accusingly at a royalty…don’t you know that?” He asked and a wave of relief flowed throu-ghme.
I had no idea what came upon me but I seemed to miss that gentle and calm voice of his.
“I’m sorry, your highness. Forgive me” The doctor wavered.
King Lee chuckled and took his bottle of alcohol from the table.
“Alicia…what do you think?” He asked quietly.
“I think she did it. She must be jealous of Simone’s pregnancy and decided to eliminate her so she’ll replace her. She’s new here and we ba-rely know anything about her…what her dirty motives are” Alicia sneered from behind.
The king drank from his bottle and didn’t say a word for a while.
Gosh!
He always does this…
“Leave us” He ordered and turned his back on us.
Whaat?
Was I suddenly going deaf??
Who’s the ‘us’?
Everyone began leaving the room…I mean, everyone.
It was literally the king and I alone in the office.
My heart increa-sed by hundred.
Oh God…
What does he have to say to me now?

?Dawn’s pov?
My heart continued to beat like a pa-rty drum and the King still had his back turned on me.
The fear and worry alone se-nt shivers throu-ghmy endocrine system and could ba-rely stand.
To be sincere, I’m tired of this dramas and just want to back home. If only it was easy as I seems.
King Lee Gr0-ned staring down at his hand. He glanced at it for a while before looking up at me.
“This new ring is skinti-ght. It’d surely paralyze my fin-gerif I keep wearing it. Help me pull it off, Anna” He mumbled stretching out his hand to me.
I ambled to where he was unable to feel my legs.
Words can’t define how scared I was at the moment.
I took his hand and held onto the one with the ti-ght golden ring.
Don’t blame me for admiring him too much but I couldn’t help it.
I was trying to get myself distracted from what was happening at then.
I gripped the ring and turned it bit by bit like I was screwing it out.
It loose-ned and gradually, it sli-pped out.
“Oh!
My fin-gerhurts Anna.
Do something about it” He said grumpily.
I sighed began bl-owing air to his fin-gerand he chuckled.
“You’re tickling me, right now. Thats enough” He groused stepping back.
I smiled, sparing the ring a glance and found it to be sheen and radiant.
I offered it back to the King but he ignored me and sat on his seat before his desk.
“Where should I keep the ring, your Majesty?” I asked quizzically.
He sighed se-nding the bottle of drink to his li-ps before drinking it.
“Its yours” He replied making me alarmed.
What?
“I…I don’t un-derstand” I whispered puzzled.
His eyes fluttered up and glared shortly at me.
I chuckled sheepishly and brou-ght down my hands.
“Thank you, King Lee. I’m grateful…” I said despondently.
“Put the ring on…I want to see how it looks on your fin-ger” He said and I nodded.
I stared down at my fin-gers.
Which one do I wear the ring???
I sighed and put it on a fin-geron the left. I supposed that was were married people wear their ring.
“Come here” He ordered and I gulped taking few steps closer to him.
He took my left hand and gazed at the ring on it. He chuckled and tou-ched the ring.
“Thats not how you wear a royal ring, you…
“br@inless rat” I chipped in completing his statement for him.
He looked up and chuckled.
“Yes, br@inless rat” he muttered and turned the ring on my fin-ger.
It did look better now and was a perfect fit but wait a minute…shouldn’t he be judging me on the case about Simone.
“Why are you always wearing dresses. Don’t you have normal clothes?” He asked glaring at the dress I wore.
“I don’t. These are the only clothes I have, your highness” I replied and he left my hand.
He was quiet for a while just looking into space.
“Did you do it?” He suddenly asked and I went numb.
I couldn’t make a single word out of my li-ps.
Would he believe me even if I said I was innocent?
“I didn’t do it. I was on my way to the dinning room when I met a maid with two trays that she couldn’t carry. So I helped her out and we delivered the food to the dinning together. I don’t know why I’m being accused” I muttered as my eyes welled up.
“Is that all you’re saying to defend yourself?” He asked staring at me with beady eyes.
“I don’t know…something like this have never happened to me before” I professed feeling shattered within me.
He murmured some words I couldn’t hear while ru-b-bing his forehead.
“I was planning on killing the dog this morning. There’s a place I want the killing to take place.
“And you’re coming with me. So let’s go” He ordered taking a key from the table and walking out.
Whaaat?
He wants me to be there when he kills the dog??
Okay…this is not going to be funny.
