EPISODE 93 (original)
I’m very sorry for what happened yesterday night, it was a mistake. I was so busy and I didn’t have time to check and correct it in time. I will post the next episode at 9am as expected.

“Louis might have told her about this. You know that he shares everything with Brina.
Anyway, I am relieved to learn that she would not be directly implicated on this. However, we are yet to find out why Brina deliberately made herself a victim in this, even after knowing that this might happen. Let’s see” Charlotte said, before giving the blood samples to Eliina.
Meanwhile, Olivia was beatific after her ‘glorious’ victory. She right away went back to her suite and couldn’t stop herself from opening a champagne bottle.
Owen, who just followed her inside and
sighed.
“You got what you want, little sister. What about me? You promised Brina would be in my bed soon and may I know when that ‘soon’ will come?” he asked, annoyed because of his self centred, egoistic sister.
Olivia filled the champagne in two glas-ses and gave one of it to her brother.
“That ‘soon’ will come when we eliminate Katherine as well. As Brina didn’t even reach the end line, her rank will fall down drastically.
Moreover, given with how pathetic she looked, I am sure that many people would be coming to the conclusion that she is just ‘a pas-sing cloud’ but nothing more than that.” Olivia told him, taking a sip from her glas-s.
“I have actually thought of going easy on her for your sake, brother. But that slut didn’t appear at medical quarters. If she would have come, we would have simply implicated her in a drug use case and banished her. And this horse plan would have got focused on Katherine” Olivia scoffed.
Her previous plan was to eliminate Bruna by drug consumption case and use this Hungarian horse plan on Katherine.
If everything would have gone as she planned, Brina would have been on her brother’s bed and Katherine would have been on a hospital bed instead.
It would have been killing two birds with one stone. But Brina spoiled it by not showing up and when Owen asked her to select in between Katherine and Brina, she made the right choice by making Brina her immediate target.
It would have actually been Katherine who would have gotten that Hungarian horse, but Olivia changed the plan and asked Queen mother Greta to modify the ‘horse selection’ process by giving the drugged, Hungarian horse to Brina.
“Anyway, everything went as we planned. So, after we eliminate Katherine, we will just be left with Princess Penelope as our last threat. However, she seems not interested in Prince Edward” Olivia said.
“Don’t worry about that. Our maternal grandfather is already looking into it. When the time comes, Prince will have no one but you to select” Owen said, lifting his glas-s in a congratulating gesture. But little they know that Brina has just their own tables against them.
And, pitifully, they would not even have a hint who is doing all this to them.
….
The next morning…
Brina woke up and found Hailey sleeping on the couch. Except for the mild headache and dizziness she could be considered as good. In addition to this, she felt a little weak and hungry.
Sitting back on the bed, with her back leaning onto the headboard, Brina used her free hand to take a glas-s. She gulped the water in one go and relaxed a bit. Everything that happened yesterday flooded back into her mind and she couldn’t help but sm-irk.
Yeah! She smi-rked because she knows that she will be the ultimate winner.
Whatever Olivia is trying to use on her, for Brina they are like a kid’s game. She is already past this stage to get fooled easily.
She had much more tough days in her past and she had come across more despicable acts all along her life. Meanwhile, Hailey woke up because of the faint sounds in the room and immediately noticed that Brina was awake.
“Hey, are you fine? Should I call a doctor?” Hailey asked, rather worried as she hurriedly approached Brina.
“I am good.”
Brina flashed an as-suring smile for which Hailey sighed and relaxed a bit.
“By the way, how is that horse doing right now?” She couldn’t help but ask.That poor creature was the most pitiful victim in this devious act, an only innocent pawn apparently. Hailey chuckled.
“It’s good I guess. Don’t know what has happened to it, but I heard that it’s totally fine. However, there are rumors flying around, that it was totally your fault that you couldn’t handle that horse and in turn, made it fall down ” she said.
Brina chukled, a dark shade of malice pas-sing her eyes. ‘Olivia might have given the antidote as soon as the competition completed. And, this has also made it clear that Queen mother Greta is helping her.
Ahh… how despicable.’ she thought.
If this is not called as Greta’s misdeed, then, what could it possibly be called? A coincidence?? Out of all twelve horses present, only she got the horse which was drugged!
It was not a mere coincidence nor it was her distressing misfortune! This is a blatant jeopardising one could not even think of!! In the meantime, the doctors have also got the news that Brina woke up.
Just as they were asked, they made a call to their Prince and informed him. Louis who just went back to the palace was not at all himself. He didn’t even get a wink of sleep.
He badly wanted to stay behind and take care of his love but he couldn’t afford to exp-ose his relationship with Brina. Especially when his father caught him red handed, shedding a tear.
These are the times when he cursed his fate for not having the liberty to be himself. These are the times when he feels a sudden urge to strangle his brother to death, for being this selfish.
Here he is, almost facing hell for not being able to be there for his girl, when his brother is enjoying his honeymoon in Maldives. Isn’t this quite unfair? Louis smashed the last bottle to the ground and it was when his phone vibr@ted.
That was the call from hospital staff to inform that Brina is awake. He immediately sighed in relief and hastily dressed himself before hurrying to the hospital.
He immediately sighed in relief and hastily dressed himself before hurrying to the hospital.
On the way, he couldn’t help but to swear. ‘Whoever did this to you will not go unpunished, Brina. They will pay thousand folds more than this for hurting the future Queen, the only Queen of the future King!’.
There was something that changed in him. It might be that he got fli-pped from being a ‘cool and easy going’ to ‘formidable and devilish’ Prince.
….
When Louis arrived at Brina’s room, he couldn’t do anything much but ha-rden his heart from getting emotional.
Who knows who else will be watching them now?
It’s better not to show how sen-sitive he is now when it comes to Brina. Otherwise, there are chances some of these despicable monsters might use her against him.
Sighing in exhaustion, Louis entered the room and noticed that Brina was sitting on her bed with her back leaning onto the headboard. She is drinking some soup, quietly.
“Lady Brina, hope you are feeling well now.” Louis asked, bringing her back from her reveries.
As the doctor is still present, monitoring her reports, even Brina controlled her urges to jump on her boyfriend and hu-g him ti-ght.
She missed him a lot..!!
ha-rdening her emotions, Brina sat back, attentive, before flashing a faint smile.
“Thanks for asking, Prince Edward. I am good.” she politely answered.
Louis just nodded his head and shifted his attention to the doctors. “Is His Highness already informed about this?” he questioned.
Surprisingly, his father is adamant on meeting Brina. He might have already sensed that something is fishy about her accident.
“Yes, Prince Edward. We have informed Your Highness and he will be coming here anytime today.” the chief doctor informed politely, before pretending to get busy in her work.
However, she is actually worried why the King himself wanted to meet Brina in private.
Did he.. did he actually get the wind of suspicions in Brina’s accidents?
She was scared! However, Olivia as-sured her that she will take care of all the evidence and even if someone wants to investigate the matter, they wouldn’t be finding any hint that might point to them.
Louis took a last glance at his girlfriend ‘I will meet you back in the evening, love.’ he thought.
He wanted to stay. He wanted to take care of her like a mother when he did. However, this is the bitter reality that he still can’t accept.
He should act as if she is nothing important to him when, ironically, she is his life..
But this is for her good. For her safety.
….
“Son, why did you get emotional when you saw Lady Brina falling down? What’s going on?” his father, King Edgar asked. “What is your relationship with Lady Brina?”
Louis came back after visiting Brina and he was called by his father to meet him.
So, they are now sitting in the study room, having father and son talk, not a King and Crowned Prince talk.
“Nothing as you think, dad. That accident made me remember my mother.” Louis said.
“I don’t know if you still remember dad, but mom once fell down just like this, when she was teaching me and Ethan.” Louis told his father.
Of course, he doesn’t remember it but he could vaguely recall it. He even took care of her during that couple of days.
His wife was so happy back then that she got to spend her time with her beloved husband.
His poor wife never said a word, though he was very busy to spend some quality time with her and their son.
She had single handedly raised their son and that might be the reason why she got habituated to doing everything all alone by herself and if not because of that, his wife would have still been alive! Who knows?!
Now, he couldn’t help but miss his deceased wife, regret for not reciprocating her love for him, though he had it in his heart.
He couldn’t help but sigh in unfathomable sadness that has engulfed his heavy heart.
“I’m really sorry for not protecting her well, Edward. I shouldn’t have let her do it.. I let your mother down.” King Edgar said, regret filled in his eyes.
If only he would have been there for her to share her burdens and worries, she might not have gone throu-ghthe phase where she alone had to take the decisions and implement them for the country’s well being.
“I’m sorry that I couldn’t be a good husband for her, or, a good father for you and Ethan.” he added, covering his face with both of his palms.
No matter how strong these men in the Royal Family are, their wives have been and they will remain as their only weakness.
Sometimes he even felt that he was the reason for his wife’s death.
If the enemies wouldn’t have found out that his wife is his weaknesses, they might not have used her against him. They wouldn’t have targeted her and for-ced her to death.
And, that is the exact reason why he let his elder son, former Crowned Prince, Ethan go.
He has someone he loves with all of his heart and that woman is his only weakness now.
If he had become a King, who knows? The history might repeat itself!! And Ethan’s wife, who is very delicate and sen-sitive, from what his research said, she might become a bait in this dirty politics!
Just like how his strong and highly willed wife
As a father he doesn’t want his sons to go throu-ghwith the same pain.
He now un-derstood why the bride selection was always taken seriously. These marriages are mostly based on agreement more than love.
It helps in stability of King’s decision in making skills, because he would not have the ‘weakness’ which is his love, ‘wife’.
And, he hopes Louis doesn’t have someone who might become his weaknesses.
If he has someone like this, as a father, he must help his son to protect her.
To help him make her more strong. Help him in making her feel she is not alone and she has people of herself with whom she can share the burdens.
But, as someone who knows the happiness of being in love, he would never for-ce his son to let his life go.
