? Dawn’s pov?
I was now cleared on the fact that I have an enemy here at the castle.
Anger began eating me alive and I thought of what to do.
Without a second thought, I grabbe-d the gl@$$ filled with water and ambled to where she was.
I raised my hand and emptied the whole water on them.
They both je-rked up from their seats with gasps. The look on their face was priceless.
“What the h3ll! Have you lost it???” The lady fired and I rolled my eyes.
I turned and walked back to my chair glamorously.
My bu-tt was ba-rely on the seat when Alicia picked up the cutleries on her side of the table and threw them at me but I dodged it.
Whaaat?
I stood my ground and took Simone’s gl@$$ of water splashing it on Alicia.
She used her hands to shield herself but the water still soaked her.
“You bi**h!” She rasped and picked up her plate throwing the whole food at me.
Damnit…
She tried to hit me with her remaining fork but Simone got up and the fork landed on her.
Oops.
“You pathetic fools” Simone seethed and carried her empty plates throwing it as us individually.
Geez!
“I wasn’t the one that tried to murder you with a fork!” I groused and she smi-rked.
In a few seconds, the whole dinning room was a mess as we began throwing things at each other; The Vegetables and other edibles on our plates.
I had my eyes on Alicia as she took a big round serving plate aiming for me.
I shrieked and was about to take cover when she released the plate and it hit her daughter.
Oh my God!
The little girl…
“Xenia!” Alicia called in fright and scurried to her.
Xenia’s tears were starting to scroll down her cheeks. Poor thing.
I stared in dismay as Alicia consoled Xenia but her tears seemed like she was just beginning.
Alicia was almost in tears as she embr@ced her to stop crying.
Just then, we began hearing footsteps.
Bold and clear footsteps…
I gazed intently from where it was coming from.
My nostrils instantly got occu-pied with sweet thick rich perfume which I suppose was expensive and precious.
Holly Molly!
My nose was in heaven.
Who could smell so good like this, huh?
He walked in…?
With his black hair ruffled and curly…
The first few bu-ttons of his fine kingly robe was opened…
Eyes so green and crazy…
li-ps perfect and pink….
A gold shinning earring on his left ear…
Oh Heavens!
He walked so perfectly with his hands behind his back.
King Lee…
I’m so going to faint.
He was much more drop dead handsome in person.
How can he be the crazy king everyone was talking about? Crazy but dangerous…
Our eyes locked for a second there but it didn’t last as he drifted them to his crying daughter.
There were few guards behind him
He gazed at her for a while and Alicia left her maintaining a distance from the father and daughter.
He stooped to the child’s level and huffed.
“What are you doing Xenia?” He asked her and I blinked rapidly.
Can’t he see she’s in tears??
His voice was de-ep and sweet.
So damn appealing…
Xenia sniffed unable to stop her tears.
King Lee tou-ched the girls hair and paused for a while before withdrawing his hand.
Blood.
There was blood stained on his hand.
God!
This is not happening.
Conniption gripped me as I stared at the blood in his hand.
The plate injured her for real…?
Oh goodness.
Alicia is so dead??
King Lee slowly took his hand to his head and ru-bbe-d the blood off.
“Who did this to you?” He asked with so much darkness resounding in his voice.
I watched as Xenia glanced at her mother who had slight tears on her cheeks.
“I’m waiting Xenia” King Lee cooed impatiently, fiddling with the bu-tton on Xenia’s dress.
She sniffed and began cleaning her tears with her hands.
She turned to me and before I could say ‘jack’, she pointed towards me and the king threw his gaze at me.
Whaaat?
How could Xenia do this???
I’m officially dead?♀️

? Dawn’s pov?
I remained standing transfixed as the king’s cold glares didn’t leave me.
I gave him a pleading look shaking my head negatively.
He took his eyes back to Xenia and patted her hair.
I gulped staring like a bloated goat.
He got up and looked around the messy dinning. Believe me when I tell you it’s a complete mess.
Suddenly, a weird unexpected laugh to-re from his li-ps and he stepped back.
Now I’m sure of it – he is a psycho.
“So the three of you decided to turn this place into a dog house, huh?!!” He barked quizzically.
“My Lord….
The king stopped Alicia from speaking.
There was dead silence in the whole room.
He took some steps towards me with his hands in his pockets.
His eyes pierced into mine and I didn’t know what gave me the boldness to look back at him.
“Leave us” He simply instructed and his guards left first, followed by Simone.
Alicia hesitated a bit before taking Xenia’s hand and they sashayed out of the room…b**ches.
It didn’t move me that I was alone with him just yet until a laugh left his li-ps and he began walking past me.
Oh no…
He’s standing beside me!!
I felt him touch my hair feeling the texture. He pulled it a bit and I shuddered.
“Does that hurt?” He whispered into my ear but I didn’t respond.
He pulled it again and this time, the pain was evident and I winced in discomfort.
“You’ll feel Xenia’s pain by the time I’m done. That’s a promise” His voice hovered behind me.
Suddenly, he tou-ched zi-p of my dress and began dragging it down. He made me remove the dress from my bo-dy entirely.
I was overwhelmed and quickly used my hands to shade the two sides the little way I could.
Oh my God!
This is humiliating.
I faced him unable to turn my whole back on him. He took a neat glance staring at from up my face and down to my wa-istline.
“Are you aware that if I figure out that you’re not a V¡rgin, I’ll destroy that thing in between your legs with a sharp knife and also burn every single soul in your kingdom alive” He said ru-b-bing The rings on his fin-geras he spoke.
My heart began racing…
Destroy my v*g*na with a what???
I’m so scared right now cause I’m not sure I’m a V¡rgin. Mom told me that the moment a man dares to touch me that I’ll loose my dignity.
And I never went to a school to learn much about anything. We didn’t have enough money.
He picked up my dress and just as I was about to take it, he began tearing it literally.
After he was done, he threw them at my face before leaving.
Ow…now I have to go to my room half nak*d.
?Authoress Eunice’s pov?
King Lee walked into his office accompanied with his guards.
You could feel the tension and anger from what happened to his daughter – Xenia.
He headed for his wine collection and wraps his hand around a bottle of Vodka. His eyes rolls on the bottle casually.
He suddenly turns and throws the bottle towards the men behind him but luckily, they dodged it while the bottle smashed to pieces on the wall.
They have gotten used to unplanned surprises from their king…dangerous surprises.
King Lee took de-ep breaths trying to calm himself down.
He reached for another bottle and this time, uncapped it. His five fin-gers, each glittering with foreign gold rings.
He poured a little quantity into a gl@$$ cu-p before taking it to his li-ps.
“My Lord…how do you see the princess from Muzana? Is she worth it? Did you taste her?” His main and trusted guard, Raphael asked from behind.
King Lee didn’t say a word but took a gulp from his cu-p.
“Give me tonight to find out then” He muttered after he had swallowed the lump.
“But one things for sure, she’s a trouble maker and she attem-pted to kill Xenia on her first day” Raphael chided.
“And she’s beautiful too” the other guard whispered but the king overheard it and began laughing hysterically.
? Blade’s pov?
I paced around the room worried and curious.
I hope things are going well at the other side. I hope that girl is keeping things as planned unless I wouldn’t hesitate to finish her mother.
But then…
The soldiers se-nt by king Lee are still here in their camps.
Could it be king Lee doesn’t like the girl or is he still deciding if she was worthy as a gift.
This is not right…
? Dawn’s pov?
I couldn’t sleep as I kept pondering over what happened with king Lee.
I didn’t have the guts to tell him I wasn’t the one that hurt Xenia.
geez! I’m so going to die here before am exp-osed of not being princess Anna.
What punishment could king Lee have for me? He’s left me in a more curious state than I’ve ever been.
I’m so escaping tomorrow.
Maybe the banquet would be crowded and busy, I’ll have a chance to leave.
Yes… that’s what I’ll do.
I can’t stay here fighting a pregnant woman and an evil mother and daughter for the rest of my life.
That’s not right.
I even wanted to heal Xenia of her wound but I won’t because of her lies.
She put me in some trouble I don’t know how to get out of.
I was finally able to close my eyes drifting to sleep when a knock came on the door.
Hmph.
Who could that be now??
I climbe-d out from the be-d and moved to the door. I grabbe-d the silver colored knob and twisted it open.
It was one of the palace guards.
what’s he doing here??
“The king wants you in his room right now. he gives you five seconds headstart” He said and my heart leapt.
Whaaaat?
I had no idea when I walked out of the room in a haste.
I just have five seconds!!!
