Chapter 16 Courtney POV I opened my eyes, and groaned, my head was pounding but I stood up leaning on the bed, I took a deep breath and remember why I collapsed in the first place. “Mi lady” Reena whom just entered, ran to my side to support me “Reena, His Majesty…. ““Her highness is back, the guard managed to bring her back alive”she flashed me a small smile,but I frowned “And His Majesty?” I asked with anticipation. “He will be back, I belive so”I broke into sobs. “What really happened?” I was curious, Reena hesitated but gave in when I kept staring at her. “Khaitan attacked on their way back, they betrayed His Majesty and repel their negotiations”she explained “His Majesty while trying to protect Her Highness in the process, and fell off a cliff when he tried to distract their attackers, the other guards took another way, by the time they came, it was late His Majesty already already fell but they managed to save Her Highness” I felt my heart squeeze and I
Chapter 17Courtney POV I woke up more than an hour ago, but I was too lazy to stand up, I still couldn't believe George was gone.

I should get a physician”“Please Reena, I'm alright “ I pleaded and my voice came out weak. “But you are….. Hmm I should clean you up”I felt a warm towel on my arms, she has been cleaning me up
Chapter 18Courtney POV He took George's courtyard, I followed the guard to the study room, the guard left after we got to the door. I frowned and slowly moved to the door,the door knob was cold, I pushed it in and the door opened. I stepped in and saw Prince Edward sitting on the desk, he smiled when he saw me. I bowed and he nodded “Heard you were sick”He glanced at me clearly checking me out. “yes, but I'm fine now”“I see,you must know the competition continues”He added “I do, but Her highness gave me the permission to leave”“No one can leave without my order “I flinched when he suddenly yelled.

Chapter 19Countney POV Sleeping in the dungeon was really uncomfortable, and I starved the whole night. I wondered how Prince Edward knew I escaped. I sighed and turned to Reena, I saw she is not better than me. “What if he kills us?? “ I can see fear written all over her face. “I don't think so, let's just wait and see what happens” She grumbled and leaned on the wall. I also closed my eyes to sleep, I'm really tired. I heard the loud sound of chain, I opened my eyes and saw a guard opened the dungeon “His Majesty said to release and escort you to the hall. I stood but my leg gave out and I fell back down. “Milady”Reena hurried towards me and helped me up. I stretched my leg a bit and followed the guard to the hall. I was surprised to see a lot of people. The ladies, Her highness, a few officials and Ministers. The guard forced me down. I broke out in cold sweat as my knee hit the floor.

Chapter 20 I ran for more than 10 minutes and couldn't find her, the palace was already in chaos, everyone was running up and down seeking shelter, I was tired and stopped to catch my breath. Mind you I'm in my wedding dress and it getting in my way. I tried to remove some layers but I couldn't, I hissed and looked around ‘where could Reena be? ‘ I thought to myself. I frowned and noticed something in the chaotic situation. Nobody was killed, I saw no dead body and the soldiers just ignored the servants running around, they seems to be headed in same direction. I took a deep breath and out of curiosity went the way the soldiers were heading to. They seemed to be going towards His Majesty chamber, I clutched my fist and hasten my pace to see what was going to happen. They stopped in front of the chamber and surrounded it. I hid behide a pillar to observed what was happening. My heart sank and I shuddered when I saw Her Highness sitting outside the cha
Chapter 22Courtney POV “She's just in shock, she will be fine” The physician finished examining Her Highness “use this anioment for your knee, it must hurt” The physician must have noticed how I was rubbing my knee. “Thank you”I smiled and took it. “If that is all, I will leave now, you can call me if there's anything” The physician packed up and left. I sighed and stared at Her highness, she's also helpless, her dead son came back alive but he is not himself anymore. He's more like a stranger. I massaged my tremble, my head hurts so much, the incident that happened today took a troll on me. ‘What if he's not George? What if someone took his shape? It possible though very rare but it possible. Or was I overthinking it?’ “Milady “ a very familiar voice brought me out of my thought“Reena” I cried out, I had no idea when she came in. She pulled me for a hug and I engulfed the warmth of her body. She patted my back and coax me “Everything will be fine Mil
Chapter 22 Courtney POV “Come in” The familiar cold voice ordered, I thought you wasn't gonna let me in but he did anyways. “Your Majesty, may I have a moment with you, I need… ““Milady “ Morgan whom I don't know was inside greeted me, I nodded back to her and faced His Majesty. “I need to talk to you” He raised his brow and gesture for me to go on, but I looked at Morgan “Alone” I added“leave us” I was actually surprised he was willingly to send her out. “But your Majesty… ““Out, I.. Won't.. Repeat.. Myself ” He ordered word to word. I saw Morgan clutched her fist, gave me a provocative gaze and slowly reversed, she stared at me one last time, and banged the door while going out. ‘it seems she doesn't have a complete control over him yet, greatt I should be able… ‘“Why are you here? “ my thought was broken and I gazed at George. “You lost some weight, it must have been hard on you” I whispered softly as gently as I could and he frowned. “I missed you, I
Chapter 24Courtney POV“Who the hell are you? "Even I couldn't help but trembled in fear, Goerge looked really scary right now. “I… I..

I had no idea who he is“My king, how could you” he helped Morgan up and shoot Goerge a glare. “And who might you be? Who let you in?” Goerge asked “My king, it I, your father in law “ I frowned, what father in law? I glanced at Goerge and saw his expression softened, “My king why did you hit her? “ the strange old man complained and George sighed. He also moved closer to Morgan and supported her. This isn't going the way I expected, I thought Goerge would lash out at her, I thought he got himself back, it seems… “And who is she? “ the same old man glared at me. “right who are you? “ Goerge eyes turned hostiles towards me. “You… You… You…” I was speechless and shocked on
