Alicia’s pov?
I blinked constantly unable to digest what Xenia just revealed – about princess Anna coming to her room late and night and tou-ched her.
What the heck could that mean? How was she able to enter her room without being sp-otted and much more…touching her? Could it be that woman is a witch?
She was able to charm the king and now I’m just hearing that she also made a move on Xenia.
I scrunitized over what Anna could possibly want from Xenia and also, she got healed after she tou-ched her.
This is preposterous.
It can’t be what I’m thinking….
It definitely can’t!
I sighed feeling extremely dazed and confused over the issue.
“You mean she tou-ched you and the pains disappeared?” I asked her and she lifted her head up with a nod.
“Dad came in later and caught her hiding un-der the be-d” She muttered but I was able to hear her.
“He did?…So, what punishment did he give her??” I further asked trying to fix the puzzle.
“Nothing…bye mom” She chipped perfunctorily before running out of the room.
Nothing???
King Lee didn’t punish her???!!
I took my hand to my dress and raised it a little seeing the dried up scar from the canes I received from King Lee’s guards.
When I came here newly before I got pregnant, I did something wrong – I disobeyed king Lee and he ordered for me to be flogged.
It was such a painful experience even Simone got punished once.
How come King Lee is going soft on princess Anna? Is it because she’s beautiful?
Yes…I admit the girl is pretty and charming and that’s why I nee-d to get rid of her.
If King Lee is to fall in love, it should be me and I won’t let him go without having a fight.
I covered up the scar and sighed.
What’s so different between the three of us? What does he see in that princess??
She doesn’t even have high glamour and decorum. She’s plain and scarcely behaves like a princess.
I’ve seen her walk, eat and talk.
She’s nothing like a princess….
She’s not like someone who never saw pain or always surrounded by maids. She does things by herself – literally.
I’m determined that I’ll get to the bott-om of this, that’s a promise.
Manuel’s pov?
“Are the weapons and disguises loaded?” I asked Castro taking up my coat.
“Yes…the whole team is set and the cars have been filled up with fuel” He replied taking up his phones from the table.
“Good” I said and began walking out of the room while he trailed behind me.
I got outside to see everyone and everything ready just like he said.
I’ve spent billions just to push throu-ghwith destroying king Lee. I must not fail..
I entered the opened SUV with Castro and the driver started the car.
“One way to Euphoris bro…I bet King Lee would be astonished to see us” Castro teased popping the champagne in his hand.
I chuckled and took a cu-p from the rail in the car and p@$$ed it to him.
He poured some for me before putting his. A smile crept on his face.
“Cheers to the death of King Lee” He said gleefully.
“Cheers” I relied and took the cu-p to my li-ps and drank all the content.
Dawn’s pov?
I was low-spirited about returning back to the castle. It felt more like a prison that I must live I without committing an offence.
King Lee and i stopped at a resturant to have lunch after we left the forest. The restaurant was cleared up and reserved for just him and I.
He was grumpy throu-ghout the stay at the restaurant though.
Can you believe I had to feed him?
Yeah…thats how serious it is.
Anyways, going back home was fun and more than I anticipated. I turned on a song and it made the car more lively.
I smiled broadly and leaned back on the seat.
“Do you like the restaurant? How’s the food there?” He asked stealing a glance at me.
“It’s delicious, your highness. Its the best restaurant I’ve ever been to. The other one isn’t as grand as this one” I replied grinning from ear to ear.
The car screeched and came to a quick stop making me je-rk forth.
I gasped and stared at the king.
What just happened?? Why did he stop?…
“Your highness?…” I muttered perplexed.
He kept mute for a short time before facing me again.
“Your father told me you’ve never left the castle since you were born” He remarked and my heart skipped.
Whaaat?

Dawn’s pov?
I pulled my face away from him and batted my lashes.
“The thing is…While we were coming here, I wanted to eat something so the guards took me to a restaurant around” I replied warily.
I can’t believe I’m lying to him again…
Oh God…
He shrugged and started the car resuming to our ride.
The car began moving with so much speed and the AC seemed to increase making me feel entirely cold.
The clothes King Lee bought for me didn’t have long hands just like the princess’s dresses.
I felt more relieved and free than I ever been since I arrived at the castle.
I couldn’t help but think about the king…
His voice, actions and glaring – these features were what I’ve never seen before in anybo-dy else.
He is unique and does things in a manner that leaves people in questions.
How did he grow up with such a father that couldn’t stop tormenting innocent people?
Most times, I would have sleepless nights due to the horrible stories I was told about his father.
King Lee has made me feel more comfortable and relaxed here at the castle that I didn’t miss the village a lot.
Why is he like this towards me…Does he know who I am???

We arrived at the castle and the maids and guards @$$isted us with the shopping bags and taking the dog back to his cage.
I escorted the king to the door to his chambers where his guards were standing.
Have they been standing there the whole time??
King Lee had his hands in his pocket.
“br@inless rat…we are still going to kill the dog. I’ll pick another place and you’ll be the one to shoot the dog, huh?” He stated and I gulped.
He must be joking?
Or maybe not…
“I’ve never used a gun, your Majesty” I retorted fervently.
He smi-rked and inser-ted his hands into his pockets.
“There’s a first time for everything, Anna.
I also don’t want to see you in those ridiculous dresses again.
“Wear the ones we bought earlier. I’ll order up some more later” He paused and brou-ght out a white pearpad from his left pocket.
“You can go now” He exhaled sharply stealing a glance from his phone.
“Alright…thank you so much for the clothes and shoes. Goodnight your Majesty” I besumed and he released a soft smile.
The heavy capacious doors were opened and he walked in slowly.
I remained staring till the doors slammed shut and the guards were left gazing.
I smiled, turned and ambled out from the premises thinking about the weird ordeals that happened today.
I remember being blamed for poisoning Simone and also accused falsely by the doctor and Alicia.
Geez!
My back hurts from all the walking, sitting and most of all, standing.
I went into the room – brimful of smiles.
Caroline was following right behind me holding a tray containing delicacies and I guessed that was my dinner.
“Good evening ma’am” She greeted and dropped the tray on the table.
“You look ravishing in your new outfit, your highness” She remarked smiling.
“Thanks” I muttered sitting at the edge on the be-d.
“Queen Simone is back and thank goodness nothing happened to her unborn child” She stated kneeling to @$$ist me with the shoes.
Thank God Simone’s alright…
I know King Lee would be furious if something happened to his child. He’ll definitely do the unthinkable.
“Caroline…can you tell me something about King Lee’s parents?” I asked lost in thoughts.
She was done taking off my shoes and took the liberty to m@$$age my feet.
“Oh…
The King died after being poisoned. He had numerous enemies so he fell victim of their plot. And about the queen…She suddenly disappeared and presumed to be dead” she replied and I twitched.
She suddenly disappeared???
How come I never heard of that?
“No one really knows her whereabouts so the people in the city were told she was dead…just the ones here at the palace knows she’s missing”.
Wow!…
Alicia’s pov?
I was literally shedding tears as I spoke with King Lee on the phone.
He’s damn not being fair to me.
I’m his first wife for peace sake!…
I’m done enduring this torture.
“Stop crying Alicia…that’s enough!” He half yelled and I sobbe-d.
“What do you want from me right now??” He queried and I could tell he was getting angry.
Enough anger to give me a baby bo-dy…
“I want you King Lee…you haven’t tou-ched me since Xenia was born” I cried feeling more miserable than ever.
He kept mute for a moment and I waited in anticipation.
I discovered I was in my ovulation period so I have 100% chance in getting pregnant for King Lee.
“Fine…” He muttered and hung up.
Whatever!!
At least I got what I wanted…yes!
I leaped and got ready to meet him.
Tonight’s gonna be fire?
Bethel’s pov?
(Dawn’s mother)
I was almost set to go to be-d when a knock came on the door.
I gr-unted a little before walking to the old crocked door. I looked throu-ghthe hole and sighed.
What’s she doing here so late in the evening??
I opened the door and stepped back for her to enter.
“What do you want so late at night, Esther?? Have you run out of salt again?” I teased but she wasn’t finding it hilarious.
“I have something important to tell you…It’s about your daughter – I saw her earlier at the mall where I work…
I saw Dawn!!!”
