Everett's POV I regret what I just did to Amber. I really didn't mean to do that. I just got carried away, especially Amber, who looked normal when our lips accidentally touched. I thought that Amber also had the same feelings towards me. That's why I dared to get closer to Amber. I felt my heart pounding which made my breathing quicken. But, Amber refused. Amber pushed me hard. The look in her eyes that looked angry and disappointed made me unable to chase her. I feel completely wrong. I want to say that I didn't force her. I don't want him to misunderstand that I rushed into this feeling. Getting rejection for my own carelessness made me feel very guilty and I didn't want to make Amber hate me. I slowly walked limply back to the castle. Dinner is almost finished. But I couldn't even put one mouthful in my mouth. It felt like the mood to eat had just disappeared, my face showed gloom and sadness. Even at this dining table, I didn't see Amber. I really want to ask w
Nash's POV I was very restless in the room. My anger really overflowed when I saw Amber's shadow slowly appearing right in front of me. Amber's shadow walked slowly towards me. As if it was really Amber in front of me, I stared at her with an angry gaze. Slowly my hand rose and wanted to touch Amber's face. However, it was just a shadow so I only touched the wind. I closed my eyes and sat back down and began to remember the times I was with Amber. Where was Amber, who at that time was still my wife? Smiling sweetly and waving her hand. Waiting for my arrival right in front of her. Wearing a pink dress and light make-up. Amber looked very beautiful and charming at that time. Makes my heart beat wildly. I don't know how this woman can make me crazy so it's hard for me to forget her figure, who is so soft and so warm. How could I let go of such a precious woman? I started to feel the anger rising within me. How many months have I still not been able to find Amber's where
Kanza's POV From the small room provided for me to sleep, I could hear the commotion that was happening tonight. I heard a very wild and scary howling sound. I'm sure he is King Nash, who for some reason has been very angry and making a fuss in the last few days. Many servants and soldiers became targets of his anger and punished them blindly. This also haunts me and makes me even more afraid to be here. How long will I be here? Am I going to live here forever? In endless suffering? How can the others survive and not leave here? I think if they all unite to go, maybe we can fight King Nash easily. Unfortunately, they just stared at me sharply or even tortured me for asking like this. I lived here for a month full of suffering. No one cared about me, they only thought of me as a prisoner whom they were free to torture mercilessly. Even though King Nash never saw me again, the suffering I experienced never ended. One day I went on a hunger and drinking strike, I did this
Amber's POV I heard happy news when one of the guards brought a child who had been taken away by Nash. I smiled wide and ran towards the gate to see the child who had been saved. My feet stepped quickly to immediately approach the little girl. I felt that the freedom I got could be felt by her. It really feels like it brings happiness that I really want to share with everyone. When I arrived in front of the gate, I saw Everett who was welcoming the girl with open arms. Unfortunately, the girl looked scared and walked backward. She seemed very restless with her body shaking. "No! You are lying! Do not touch me!" shouted the girl and shocked everyone there. I ran over and saw what was really happening. Apparently, the girl named Kanza recognized Everett's face exactly as Nash's. Even though I feel like they are different, a girl who has experienced something really bad will still feel scared when she sees Everett. "What's wrong with her?" Everett asked Ian and looked co
Amber's POV I smiled seeing Kanza who looked beautiful and shining, I slowly approached her and pulled her to sit. "Come here, I will treat the wounds on your body," I said as I opened the medicine box. Kanza smiled slightly following my orders. I'm so happy to see her full of energy like this. When I asked for her little hand, I was shocked to see the many scars on her wrist. This is definitely a trace of a very tight rope tie. Kanza was surprised to see me staring silently at her wound, which made her hide her hand. "I'll treat it, it might sting a little. But, you have to be able to hold it in," I said and applied wound medicine to his hand. Not only on her hands, I could see scars on her collarbone. I touched the wound and Kanza grimaced in pain. It didn't stop there, her back was full of scars that were still wet and even festering. I held back tears treating the very painful wounds. I really can't imagine how this little girl survived with so much suffering and inj
Ruby's POV It's been a week since Nash's incident got out of control. I can even still feel the pain that Nash caused on my neck. For days I didn't leave my room because of the trauma and pain I felt. I never thought that Nash would be so terrible like that. What made him turn out to be scary like that? I know that Nash is cruel and scary. But I didn't know that he was so cruel and so scary. On the side of this large bed, I curled up with my knees together. Holding my neck which was still bruised and felt very painful. I stared at the exit and thought not to drag on this matter. Until I felt pain in my stomach which for some reason has been hurting a lot lately and makes me nauseous and I have no appetite. I thought about the last time I had my period and thought maybe I was pregnant. If so, Nash should have formalized my position as queen to clarify the child I was carrying. Without looking at the time, I got out of bed and dared to leave my room and walk towards Nash's
Nash's POV In the dungeon, I looked at the guard I assigned to guard Kanza. However, that night Kanza easily escaped from my palace and even Jackson lost track of the girl! Just like I lost Amber. “Ugh!” The groan of pain that escaped Jackson's lips showed how bad his condition was now. The man's entire body was covered in bruises and open wounds that were oozing fresh blood, the man's once strong body seemed to be limp, his shoulders were shaking strongly, and he was forcing himself too hard to stay conscious even though in the end his efforts were in vain, because in the next second his body covered in wounds, he collapsed and fell with a thud on the cold floor. Every day I told the guards to beat him so that he would know how big his mistake was for making Kanza run away and lose track of him. I really want to kill him. But only he knows what kind of figure helped Kanza when he escaped from my palace. My pair of eyes watched Jack's every move, with an expressionless gaze,
Amber's POV For almost a week Kanza never woke up from her sleep. I don't understand what made her choose to sleep for such a long time. This makes Everett feel very guilty and wants to help Kanza. Take revenge on Nash and end all this suffering. Finally, the guard that Everett sent to pick up Kanza's parents arrived. However, only Kanza's father appeared. Until the news of Kanza's mother's death made Everett even worse. But Kanza's father doesn't hate Everett and thanks him for saving Kanza. I could only watch the meeting from afar. Kanza's father kept calling Kanza's name and kept closing his eyes. And when finally those eyes moved faintly, opening slowly to reveal those clear gray beads, I felt relieved, so relieved, as if the heavy burden that had been hanging over me had evaporated, replaced by a feeling of extraordinary happiness that made me almost shed tears. This is enough, very, very enough for all of us who witnessed this. Kanza's father no longer seems to need
