"I don't really know what happened. I just heard an explosion."

"It surely didn't come from her," he said and looked around. "Something just is going on," he walked towards her.

"Do you know anything about this?" He asked her with a frown that made her freeze on her spot.

"Nothing. Everything's fine, sir," she reassured him, wiping the tears from her cheek.

"You better be." he grumbled angrily as he headed back down the hallway.

Jasmine gazed at the space where he stood only moments ago. Her heart ached in an excruciating manner. She never wanted what she did to earn such hate from everybody.

She sat back on the floor, feeling exhausted. "What wrong have I done?" She asked herself bitterly as she sobbed.

"Your majesty, there's a letter for you,' a guard announced and bowed down. He nodded and held it.

"What is it about?" He asked with a frown and grabbed the letter and signaled the guard to leave.

He quickly unsealed it and took out the letter. He read it carefully not to miss an

    He stared at her, searching for something. "Can we talk about this another time, Vivian?" He pleaded and she nodded, agreeing with him without saying anything."I'll go and prepare some tea for us," she said with a smile.He smiled back. "Thank you." And turned his back to her walking away from the door. She watched him leave and sighed in relief. That was not an easy conversation she had. She still didn't understand what he wanted from her and was getting annoyed with every passing moment.---After taking the tray of tea and placing it in front of him, he sipped his tea as she sat next to him. She eyed the tea cautiously and decided to start her interrogation first. "So..."she started."What do you need? What happened?" He interrupted her as if he had been waiting for her to ask that ever since their last encounter.She paused for a second. "Uh...well, about that....I--uh" he cut her off by waving his hand."Whatever it is, spill it or I won't tell you," he demanded sternly and sh

    "You can tell me about your past," she broke the silence after some minutes. "What was your life before you got here?""I can explain everything if you'd like," he responded. "I can even share my history with you so you can know more about me than we already know.""And besides, there's nothing else to talk about because all I know is what you already know," he stated with a shrug which made her laugh. He seemed to have an almost playful attitude about him but he was obviously serious when he was talking and she found herself liking it more and more."Okay," she agreed. Maybe this will open your eyes a little bit to know more about me.""That won't work. I've already learned quite a lot about you in this short time that I've been living in your castle," she answered him. He nodded."But let's try anyway."Vivian nodded and they were both thinking about the story he would tell her. He looked at her with a determined look on his face and he started his story. She listened quietly while

    The King gave me the title of Lord of the throne and I was so happy that I finally had a place where I could feel accepted and loved. I lived like a king. I ruled my people and managed my country as well. I loved being the only ruler of the kingdom, because I didn't rule like a weakling."Silence fell between them again. They just stared at each other as they both had an intense stare at the person they loved the most."And your name?" Vivian asked, breaking the silence.He smiled slightly, showing her a dimple that was hidden by his beard as he rubbed his chin with his fingers, deep in thought. He was wondering whether he should tell her about the war. She didn't need to know about that.But at the same time, he could use the information to his advantage and it was certainly beneficial to know who could protect him in the future. He then turned to look at her."My name is Jason and you can call me whatever nickname you want." He said.She grinned and said, "Okay, but I don't see a re

    Dylan was coming back from a meeting with the elders when he passed through to Sebastain's room. He was just passing by while coming back from the meeting when he overheard Sebastian, ordering a guard to watch Jasmine.'Isn't that Sebastian's voice? What is a palace guard doing in his room at this time?''Sebastain is such a lazy freak that he can't just get things done himself without sending someone to run his own errands, I wonder when he will change. Lazy idiot.' Dylan said to himself as he was passing by but what he heard made him to be more interested in wanting to stop by and listen to their conversations."Yes boss!" The guard replied."Make sure you watch her very well and don't let anyone see you around that area. If you are sure that there is no one watching, you can then bring her to me but make sure no one dares to see you, have I made myself clear?" Sebastian raised his voice at the guard. To his thinking, it was only the both of them in the room that was around the cor

She just got back from the place that they kept Jasmine and it really disturbed her that Jasmine is no longer there.She finally decided to meet with Dylan and talk to him. Maybe she could get something from him. She walked outside but almost bumped into Sebastian who looked at her angrily."Get in," he commanded and pushed her in then locked the door behind them."What is wrong with you?" She asked when she managed to keep her balance."What is wrong with me? Well more of what is wrong with you. I haven't seen you ever since you delivered the news about Jasmine's disappearance.""Well what do you need me around for?""You see now you're just being ignorant. You have no idea what has been going on because you chose to stay locked up in this room of yours instead of being helpful. You know right now you're just typically useless.""What do you mean by that?" She asked with a frown."What I m

    "Why are you following me?" Dylan asked Andrew as he noticed that Andrew wasn't changing his route and was going the same way that he was going to."Please, I need to talk to you." Andrew said as he tried to catch up with the speed of Dylan."Say what you want to say. I don't have the time to waste."

    Anita turned around only to see Dylan and Travis standing there."Guards!" Dylan called angrily. "Cease her and check her room to see if there's anything there. Tomorrow would be set for your punishment."Dylan watched the guards dragging her away as she begged for him to listen to her. "Your Highness, I saw this in her room and many more." Dylan grabbed the letters and only then held information."That woman," he growled angrily."Travis," Jasmine beamed and quickly rushed to hug him. "Oh my God, I'm glad you're okay.""Yeah me too," he hugged her back. She pulled back and turned to Andrew. "You look okay as well, though as if you had a heart attack?" She teased and he smiled at her."Believe me when I say I never thought a heart attack would come in handy." He winked and she laughed.The rest were confused by their interaction but Jasmine and Andrew understood each other. She turned next to see Janice which made her smile widen."Janice, I've missed you.

    "Who are you?" The king asked angrily.His aunt shifted closer to the king to whisper into his ears. The king's eyes widened in surprise."Oh so you're Dylan, my rival. I never knew I would be having you here tonight if not I could've been expecting your presence. But nothing has gone wrong and I think it would be wise if I give you the honor to serve the king which most servants find hard."Dylan knew better that he was mocking him and he wasn't surprised when the king signaled the servants to bring in drinks."Let him serve the king," the king laughed devilishly. Dylan clenched his fists when the guard offered him drinks to hold up for the king. His aunt smirked at him.So this was where she was all this while. He should've known better than to expect anything less from that family. Just remembering everything that he got to know from Sebastian made him boil but he held it in.Dylan bore the humiliation until he was done being a slave under the king.

He stood and found himself walking to the dungeon only to hear a sound coming from close by.He paid close attention and rushed over when he saw a guard struggling with blood all over him."What happened?""A... Attack. We're under attack," he struggled to say. Dylan looked close and saw the stabbed wound on his chest. He stood up and rushed over to where he believed Andrew was but no one was there. He became worried she quickly rushed to Jasmine's room but it was also empty. "No!" He screamed as his heart beat in his ears loudly."This can't be happening," he said while fidgeting in the room. What is going on? His rival was fast enough or maybe he was distracted instead."I see everything seems to be a shock to you," he heard a familiar voice from close by."Sebastian," he spat angrily as he turned around."I wasn't expecting you to find out this way, in fact, I wasn't expecting you to find out at al

    Dylan's eyes scanning the crowd before him. The people had gathered in the main square, eager to hear what their leader had to say. They whispered amongst themselves, wondering what this urgent announcement could be about."Dylan, Dylan, Dylan!" they chanted, as he raised his hands for silence."Everyone," Dylan began, his voice carrying across the square. "Today, I stand before you with a heavy heart. It has come to my attention that one of our own has betrayed us. One of our own has been stolen from the kingdom's treasury."The crowd gasped, their eyes widening in shock and disbelief."I speak of none other than my own friend, Travis," Dylan continued, his voice trembling with emotion. "He has been banished from this kingdom, never to return."The crowd erupted into a mixture of cheers and jeers.

    Dylan sent her away after and she dragged herself away from him. Dylan paced around his room and he found it rather unsettling with her calm and silent she was. What was going on with her?He shook his head and decided to go and check on things himself. He also needed to go to the meeting with the elders concerning the war. He went off to the place and was startled to see the guards already there and waiting for him."What is going on?" He asked them with a frown."There's something you need to know, alpha," they said immediately as he sat down."What is that?" He asked with a creased face."We found out that someone is stealing from us."He furrowed his brows. "Who could that can?""Well, before your return Travis wanted to keep everything safe so for that reason he decided to keep things under his watch and that means taking in some things is his responsibility.""He took the royal guard for example until you returned before he gave them back to you.

    Dylan was stunned by the news he just got. He was already feeling guilty for locking Jasmine up and he was already regretting everything he did but he tried not to let it disturb him. Yet he had this feeling like she failed her and he needed her to trust him.He sighed and looked around the room in frustration.

He suddenly felt like she should be worth him and not far from him.What was he going to do? He felt lost and he needed advice but had no one to meet.

    She took in deep breaths as she stared through the door and watched as they all walked around. She felt relieved but at the same time bothered by their presence, just needed to escape."So what is the plan?" She heard his voice from behind her."What else than to make sure we get out of here." She immediately crouched to his level. "I think it's best if we act it up, like act as if you're having a heart attack or something.""Would that work? I mean there is a higher possibility that it won't work at all.""Well we have no other option but to try." She revealed and sighed. "I just want to leave this place before it's too late," she replied."How can you do that?" "Simply by act, exactly what I just told you. That would be the simplest way out of here and you know I'm telling the truth.""I guess you're correct but I think guards wouldn't fall for such tricks immediately.""Then it's our job to make them fall.

    "Hello…" She called him but he refused to speak to her or even turn to look at her."Aren't you… aren't you the physician who treated me?" Jasmine asked as she approached him and began to speak to him.After hearing that, he turned his eyes but didn't turn to look at her."What are you doing here sir? Did Sebastian send you here after he got stabbed or who did?" Jasmine asked him and on hearing that, Andrew turned to look at who was talking to him."You….I recognize you. Why are you here? Who brought you here?" Andrew asked her as soon as he saw Jasmine and recognized her."It was not a funny experience sir. I got kidnapped and ended up here."

    She leaned against the cool surface and waited for the dizziness to subside. That smell... She remembered it somewhere but couldn't put her finger on it. Her eyes focused on the wall again and she realized that it was getting lighter. She looked around cautiously but everything seemed normal.Nothing was out of place and the floor was covered by the carpet. Everything looked exactly the same. Except for the feeling in the air. It felt thick and oppressive but at the same time warm and comfortable.The strange scent began to disappear when a bright light appeared.No shadows. No dark shapes. Just light. It was definitely coming from the windows, which were open. How did it get open without opening it first? The only explanation was that somebody opened it. Or perhaps... she thought as a shiver ran through her. The smell was getting stronger. She closed her eyes and concentrated on listening closely.Except that the smell continued, stronger and stronger. Was that what she smelled ear
