Manuel’s pov?
I opened the door and gave way for Castro to walk in. He was holding with him some clothes.
“This is the waiter’s uniform for the All-King conference” He said handing me a black shirt.
I chuckled amazed.
“How were you able to get them?” I asked taking off the shirt I had on.
“With a long d***k, anything is possible” He said sm-irking.
I laughed unable to utter a word.
“Should I take the black gun or silver?” He asked opening the drawer.
“No…we won’t do anything nasty tonight. We shouldn’t let him know there’s a planned attack pointed at him” I replied and he nodded.
“Whatever you say bro…”.
Dawn’s pov?
“What the h’ll are you talking about?” I asked glaring at nothing in pa-rticular.
“Geez! Princess Anna, do you know the penalty for keeping the king waiting?? We have to start getting you prepared for the conference” She stated sounding impatient.
“But…what if I don’t want to go to the conference?” I asked feeling perturbe-d.
“There’s nothing you can do about it, your highness. The king has chose-nyou to go with him to the conference and no one can question his authority” She responded taking up the dress.
I’m really not prepared for this tonight.
Why must everyday in this castle be filled with shocking events??…
“Your bath is ready – a tub of warm water and bubbles” She said checking out the dress.
It was beyond beautiful and had extra large diamond laces.
This doesn’t make se-nse.
Why me???
Oh!!
This is frustrating.
What on earth does King Lee have in mind? What about Alicia…she’s the first wife.

“He’s going to kill us, your highness!
He told me ten minutes but this is almost thirteen minutes! What’s he going to do to me??”
Caroline wavered behind me as we strolled down the stairs.
I was all dressed up in the dress and shoes. The glittering gold jewelries made me lit up and I didn’t look like the Dawn I was one bit…
I was changed completely into someone else I couldn’t identify.
Who was I now??…
“Please walk fas-ter, your highness—”
I stopped and raised my hand over her face and she went numb.
“One more word from your li-ps and I’ll order for you to be killed myself, do you un-derstand?” I asked icily.
“Yes, your highness. I perfectly un-derstand” She replied with a gulp.
I sighed and proceeded in walking out of the house.
I’m still surprise I could walk painstakingly in the gold high heels I was putting on.
Immediately we got outside, we saw four white high cars lined out and two guards stood outside.
One of them opened the door to the backseat and i let him help me get in.
The car was pretty high and I presumed the car was Benz like I heard people talk about.
I sat on the leather seat next to…
Oh my God!
King Lee was in the car too.
I stared at him – awe filled.
He was operating his phone and didn’t even act like I was in the car with him.
I took de-ep breaths adjusting properly on the seat.
“Good evening King Lee” I greeted and he simply nodded.
I was able to see his face throu-ghthe reflecting light from his phone screen.
There was a clean black substance drawn around his eyes making him look like a Ko-rean model..
So handsome and cute.
He also had his silver earrings on that lit up his fair charming face.
I’m sure it was creepy just staring into his face like he was a zombie or something but I couldn’t help it.
The strong and sweet scent of his cologne occu-pied my nostrils and I felt like sniffing him all over.
The car started driving out from the castle along with the other three cars.
As I continuously gawped into his demi god face, he suddenly – without warning fluttered his eyes up and our eyes locked.
Oh Dawn…
You surely have a death wish.
Suddenly, The light on his phone shone brightly into my eyes and I flinched backwards shielding my eyeba-llsaway from the light.
“Woman pervert” He muttered and I had no idea when I scoffed.
Oh mercies!
He rolled his eyes and plonked himself on the seat.
“Are you wearing the ring??” He asked and I nodded.
He took my hand and squee-zed it once but didn’t let go.
“Good” he whispered and closed his eyes.

Dawn’s pov?
He squee-zed my hand again and I stared into his tired but calm face.
What could he be thinking in that head of his?…
“I can’t be the only one relaxing, Anna…” He cooed and took the crown from my head,, dropped it aside and pulled me closely to drop my head on his che-st.
The atmosphere remained stiff for a moment and I could feel a different new aura around us.
He tou-ched my hair and slowly, brushed it continuously. The feeling could make me doze off to sleep but how on earth could I sleep when am laying on his che-st!
Oh my God!???
“Your hair is so long…but soft” He mumbled and a big smile crept on my li-ps.
It felt so good hearing those words from his li-ps. I’ve never been this happy about my hair even though my mother and Caroline say it often.
There was silence in the moving car and what I heard audibly was King Lee’s heartbeat.
They were like music to my ears and I didn’t want to stop hearing them.

Walking into the venue hand in hand with King Lee was glamorous and all damn eyes were on us.
The capacious hall was well decorated with diamonds and rare gems.
A round big-sized transparent table was at the middle of the room and chairs surrounded it – royal chairs.
The kings and queens prese-nt stood in groups staring at us…at the King and I noticed everyone was holding a gl@$$ of wine.
King Lee scoffed and began walking to the table. He appears to be the youngest among all the kings here.
I was surprised that they all still gazed at us at intervals even though we had settled down.
But then…who is princess Anna’s father – The king of Muzana kingdom?
Huh! This going to be ha-rder than I thought.
“Anna…” King Lee called and I quickly turned to him. He held a cold look.
“Don’t drink anything here…not even water, alright?” He asked softly and I nodded.
A bell was rang and the other royalties started approaching the table.
They settled down and I kept a smiling face.
A waiter strode to us and dropped four gl@$$es of water and wine for the king and I.
The way the waiter glanced at me was strange and i wondered if he’d seen me before.
Probably as Dawn…Oh no, that shouldn’t be true.
Manuel’s pov?
I dropped the gl@$$es and quickly stole another glance at her.
She’s the one I saw in that photo…princess Anna.
The one that went out with the king.
She’s so beautiful and gorgeous and It cost me a lot to pull my eyeba-llsaway from her.
No wonder the king prefers her among the others so this means…she’s the target.
The one I’ll use to destroy king Lee. He’ll pay for killing my brother.
I smiled at her and walked out back to the kitchen.
Alicia’s pov?
“Is king Lee there already?” I asked throu-ghthe phone,,sitting by the edge of the be-d.
“Yes ma’am. He’s here with the princess and the conference has already started” He replied.
“You know the plan…stab her when you have the chance and run away immediately. Make sure you stab her where she is vulnerable to die. Don’t let yourself be caught…king Lee’s guards are very active…can you handle it?”
I said and lowering my voice.
“Yes ma’am. I’ll call you after am done” He stated and I brou-ght the phone down from my ear and hung up.
Oh…princess Anna.
Your days are surely numbered and King Lee won’t save you this time…
Dawn’s pov?
I strived to listen attentively as the conference started and the King’s began saying stuff.
I couldn’t un-derstand what’s going on.
They kept speaking in Proverbs and idiomatic expression.
There was a king sitting across the table and had his eyes fixated at me.
Other kings did throw glances but his was becoming too much.
Was…was he Princess Anna’s father???
King Lee hadn’t contributed to the discussion brou-ght up by the kings.
He kept rolling a small red ball in his palm keeping himself busy.
“…I want to plead with you all to please donate 20 soldiers to the kingdom of Saldona in their war against the rebels. All I favor should please raise their hands” The king – in charge – said out loud.
All the King’s at the table raised their hands immediately.
Wow!
I slowly looked at King Lee to see him still rolling his ball emerald ball on the table.
Why’s he being too…different from the other kings??
*
After what seemed like forever, a king announced that we should go on a break.
I stood up slowly along with everyone else. I turned to King Lee who was staring at his wrist watch.
“I’m giving them just 30 f***king minutes more” He muttered bringing down his hand.
“Why aren’t you talking to them, your highness?” I asked pouting.
I’m sure I was cute enough not to be ignored.
He stared at me sternly and I bit my lower li-p getting scared.
What if he punishes me for not minding my business??
“When my father died, I was seventeen years old…this same kings refused for me to be made king because I am a psychopath” He replied casually.
I sighed relieved looking down at the floor.
He glanced at me and I smiled nervously.
“Won’t you go meet your dad??” He asked with a scoff.
I melted right where I stood.
“Lead the way” He said in-serting his hands in his pockets.
Oh Geez!
I’m so bursted..
I started walking feebly looking among the guests who were talking to each other.
I looked around and I saw that strange king that kept looking at me during the conference.
Oh God…
This it it. I’m finally dead.
Sir Blade has succeeded in se-nding me to an early grave.
I stopped infront of the king and cleared my throat.
“Good evening…father”
