Peter's POV "I... I apologize, Your Highness," the General stuttered, his brows furrowed in confusion. "May I ask, why not?”“Because I can't have my kingdom looking helpless against our foes, we have to face our problem alone.” I replied. My Dad threw a deadly glare at me as he heard that. He saw right through my deception, knowing I'd lied about my reasons for rejecting the plan. Yet, as the retiring king, he was bound by duty to remain silent, his discerning gaze a testament to his disapproval of my rule.Not like I cared though.I knew I wasn't true to my promise to Anna, but at this moment, nothing else mattered. I had to put her first, even if it meant ignoring everything else."I'm sorry, Your Highness," an elderly councilman said, his voice laced with caution, "but if I may?”"Go ahead," I said.“I respectfully disagree with you, your Highness.” He started, making me sigh as I settled in my chair, interjoining my fingers together."Kelvin and his pack are like shadows," he

Anna’s POV The spilled hot sauce stung my nostrils, its sharp scent thick in the air.“Why, Lily?” I whispered, irritation sharpening my tone. “It was just a little mistake—”“I don't fucking care!” My eyes widened in shock as Lily yelled at the top of her voice, interrupting my sentences and making Sid flinch in fear.I glanced at her, then shut my eyes, shaking my head as I struggled to wrap my mind around her chaotic behavior.Maybe this was the reason why she wasn't blessed with a female child. Because of this ruthless attitude of hers.Only the goddess would know what would have happened to Sid if she had a daughter who behaved exactly like her.I sighed and stood up, facing Lily’s glaring face.“You said you saw me like a daughter,” I muttered under my breath, slowly bringing up the topic.“Yes I did, but how does that relate to my orders?” Lily added more pressure to her brows. My lips curled into a small smile and my face lightened up, but all vanished in a second as my fa

Anna's POVMy eyes widened as Lily landed a resounding slap on Sid’s face.What's her deal? Sid just made a little mistake.“You stupid bitch, how dare you!” Lily roared at her.“Do you know how much this cost me?” *Smack*Sid screamed in pain as she fell to the ground, another slap coming in contact with her hot cheeks.“I'm… I…” she stammered, her lips trembling as tears ran down her cheeks.“Shut up!” Lily yelled at her. “Please.” Sid pleaded before Lily grabbed her by the hair and she grunted in pain.My stomach churned as I watched Sid crumple to the ground, Lily towering over her like a predator over a prey. The sound of the slap echoed in my ears, but it wasn’t just the noise, it was the sheer hatred in Lily’s eyes that froze me in place.A few minutes ago, Lily was caring for me like a hen protecting her precious egg and now she has turned into some sort of monster against Sid.“I asked for a drink, you slot. I didn't ask for the drink to be poured on my favorite gown!” She

Anna's POV My heart began to race against my chest and my hands grew cold as Lily proceeded to the restroom.The restroom was just as stunning as the room. A serene oasis with a purple tub, a sleek sink, and the sweet scent of fresh roses.As we stepped into the bathroom, Lily reached for my buttons. I swiftly caught her hands, feeling a sudden rush of heat spread throughout my body.Never in my life did I imagine a royal princess helping me bathe. The embarrassment was overwhelming, but here I was, living it.I know Lily is trying to just take care of me but I feel she is overdoing it now.“Please, let me undress myself?” I pleaded, ignoring the sting I knew it would cause.Lily shook her head, a determined smile on her lips. “Just let me help, okay?”I sighed, my shoulders sagging. “Fine.”Lily's lips curved into a soft, gentle smile as I nodded my agreement.For fuck sake, why couldn't Sid just help me out with this? It wasn't just the embarrassment of being vulnerable in front

Peter's POV “Anna…” I shut my eyes for a moment, taking a deep breath before locking eyes with her again. Her face was pale, her eyes brimming with tears.“Please, Peter.” She pleaded, her lips trembling.I knew her request was rooted in the painful truth: I had killed the head maid’s son to save her, a choice that had been forced upon me. It was either him or her, I couldn't lose her, my happiness.“Anna, I can't keep that promise.” I spoke firmly, “I don't care about anything else, Anna. Just you.” Anna closed her eyes tightly, letting out a soft groan.“All those innocent people, Peter.” Anna whispered, “I can't be the cost of their lives. If you want me, you have to put your duties first to your people.” My heart ached at her words. I knew she was right, my duties as king were important. But so was she. She was my everything.“I made a vow to you first, Anna. Not my kingdom.” I whispered, gently placing my hand on her palm.Anna's eyes opened, and she looked up at me, a tear ro

Anna's POV I gripped the table as blood splattered onto the food.“What's going on?” Lily stood up, rushing to the other side of the table.“Where is the drug Michelle gave you?” Peter asked, his voice laced with urgency but I couldn't reply as I kept coughing rapidly.I clutched my neck tightly as the searing pain shot through it, sending chills down my spine.Lily turned to the girl, who was frozen in fear. “Why are you still standing there? Get water… now!" Lily snapped.The girl raced out of the dining room, her steps sounding as she headed for the kitchen, while Haden watched with wide eyes as the event played in front of him.His eyes, which were filled with lust and adoration, now started with disgust.Peter’s hands frantically searched my pockets until he pulled out the pill.“Be quick, you slot!” Lily bellowed as the girl rushed back to the dining table, holding a cup.Peter pulled out a pill and took the cup of water from the girl.“Anna, take this” He whispered, drawing me
