Hilda's heart was beating so heavily as she stood at the balcony with the strange man.

The walls were cracked and the area, almost unrecognizable. She couldn't even tell where she was.

The strange man let out a smirk as he saw the fear on her face. And then he took out the wrapped potion and handed over to her.

"Tomorrow's the day; don't forget" he said. 

"All you have to do is make sure you sprinkle this in Lord Lorenzo's meal or drink, so he takes them just before he leaves for the battle. I know you don't want to do this,but don't forget the life of your only son is at stake. My men are with him and the moment they notice you've failed on your mission, they'll split your son's neck and send his head to you. Do you understand?"

Hilda's hands were shaking with the potion in it; she was sweating profusely. Why would these men want to poison Lord Lorenzo?

She knew what that is; she could tell it wasn't a poison to kill, but a poison to m

    Carlotta could feel her heart in her throat as soon as the words escaped his lips.Her heart stopped beating instantly, confusion and anxiety taking over. What did...What did he just say?"M… My Lord?" She stuttered, her eyes glued to his face."I don't… I don't think I understand".Lorenzo said nothing, but only picked up some vegetables with his spoon.Carlotta was gobsmacked. Was this guy for real?Slowly, she turned and glanced at the door, a crazy idea popping in. Goodness! There was no way she could run away.

But the aspect of spending the night here, I hope that is different" she feigned a smile and began eating, while Lorenzo said nothing.*The res

  • Marrying Her Off    “You can leave”

    Lorenzo returned to the room with the scroll in his hand and met Carlotta pacing to and fro. She'd been so restless and was walking about in the room when she noticed him walk in and she became still immediately. Was he there to release her? Lorenzo could notice how tensed she was but decided not to pay attention to it. He walked past her to his closet, dropped the scroll and took out his belt. Carlotta watched keenly, hoping he says something. But it was obvious he didn't have such plans as he took what he wanted and started walking towards the door. "My… My Lord": she called as she took a step closer and Lorenzo stopped walking to look at her. For a few seconds, she was out of words as those pretty eyes stared at hers. "Can I… Am I free to go now?" She asked with a hard gulp. Lorenzo stared at her for a while before giving out a reply. "I never said so" he muttered and walked away. For real??? Carlotta

You need to have some…""Just make me some tea, Hilda" he cut her off, calmly tho."Some tea and I'll be fine".Hilda exhaled deeply."As you wish, My Lord" she bowed and left the room with the tray.*Carlotta sat quietly on the bed, her hand on her jaw, looking like one in deep thoughts.Ginevra entered not long after with some cake for breakfast."Here".

    Carlotta and Ginevra got dressed afterwards, both trying to look as simple as possible. No matter what, Carlotta was determined to go watch the match. She wouldn't let anyone stop her for any reason."But, what if Lord Lorenzo eventually gets to know we violated his orders by showing up at the fight?" Ginevra asked as she helped Carlotta brush her hair in front of the mirror."Oh! Stop thinking negatively, Ginevra. He's never going to find out, Okay? And even if he does, I'll make sure you don't get punished. Alright?""Fine" Ginevra rolled her eyes."But… do you realize we haven't even had breakfast?""There's no time, Ginevra. Don't worry, we'll find something to eat on our way; bills on me"."Mm. If you say so"Ginevra finished brushing the hair and was about packing it when she noticed Carlotta's hairpin was missing."Where's your hair pin?" She asked, rechecking the hair to be sure she wasn't missing it.

    "Are you sure I'm looking good enough?" Ginevra asked Carlotta as she twirled herself in front of the mirror."Stop being impossible, Ginevra. We're only going there to watch a fight. Oh… Forgive my manners; I actually forgot you're single and you're probably looking out for a husband" Carlotta teased, earning a glare from Ginevra as they left the room."Do we make use of a horse?" Ginevra asked as they walked outside."Of course not, I don't even know how to use a horse. Besides, using a horse right now would create too much suspicions from the guards and I don't want that. So, we'll just get a ride outside." Carlotta replied.They walked out of the gate, strolled down to the market side and there they were able to get a local carriage to ride them to the venue.*Lord Lorenzo stepped out of his carriage, his sheath in his left hand, and Liam behind him.From where he stood, he could clearly see the arena - a lot of people wer

    It was poisoned! Carlotta thought.And that was the same drink Lorenzo had taken!Oh, no; it can't be possible. Lorenzo's about having a fight!!Her eyes rotated all around Ginevra."Is she… is she still alive?" She asked in deep breaths."Yes. The poison isn't meant to kill. It's only meant to cause dizziness and weakness. She's still fine" the woman replied and Carlotta got off her knees immediately, turning to the rider."Please, I beg you with everything you believe in. Take me to the venue of the fight. Please!" She said desperately with her palms placed together."What're you talking about?? Your friend's unconscious and you're thinking of the fight?" The rider asked with a ridiculous scoff."Please!! Just do it! Please, I beg you. Please".He could see tears glistening in her eyes already. Whatever her reasons, he how had a feeling it was important.He turned towards the carriage and got in.

    Carlotta sobbed on the unconscious body on the floor, holding him tight. She didn't exactly know what she was doing and wasn't thinking straight. But, the moment she'd seen Lord Lorenzo reach the floor, she couldn't get a grip of herself and had to rush in.Prince Aiken was disturbed, the murmurings from the crowd getting louder and louder."Get away, Princess" Aiken gritted, his sword still held up high."Because you're no friend of mine. I'll slash the sword through your neck, just to get to him"."He was poisoned!!!" Carlotta yelled out - tearfully."SOMEONE POISONED HIM!! Someone who wanted him to lose this fight".She could see the twitch in Aiken's eyes. The coordinator was already getting closer."Hey! What's going on??" He demanded."Step aside, Princess!

    "Hurry up, Callum; Hurry up" Hilda said to her son as they parked up their important things in their bags."Make sure you leave no essential thing behind".Sound of bottles and bags could be heard."But, where do we go from here, mother?" Callum suddenly looked at her and asked."That isn't important for now, Callum. It doesn't matter if we live under the sea or anything. Getting away is the most important thing for us right now, because if Lord Lorenzo ever gets to lay his hands on us, we'll both be dead. So, hurry up": Hilda answered huskily and tried concentrating."Thank you, mother" Callum said."Thank you for taking the risk to save me".Hilda looked at him and simply nodded.*Carlotta stepped out of the carriage and followed Liam behind as they carried Lord Lorenzo to his chambers. He wasn't looking any better, and still seemed unconscious.They got to his chambers and laid him on the bed."Go get t

You should also participate, you know." Ginevra shouted to Princess Carlotta over the sounds of drums for her to hear."Do you think they'll have the gut to meet Lord Lorenzo's wife, huh?"

Princess Emilia wanted to say that out but kept herself shut and just watched."It's just an exchange, only on one condition," he continued."You'll get me Princess Carlotta and then you'll have a chance to get Lorenzo.""Tch.

I felt her body moved and after some seconds, I couldn't feel her close to me again. I squinted my left eye opened and when I was sure she wasn't close to me again, I fully opened my both eyes. She was still on her towel and she was beside her closet but she had a shirt on already. "Why did you have to barge into my room? What if I was in my nudity?" She scoffed. Seriously, is this Sophia talking? Sophia that would always walk into my room even without knocking and she wouldn't even care if you I was naked or something. Humph! Seems my teachings are really helping. "I did knock, okay? But you didn't answer the door and so, I decided to come in – who knows, you might have been in danger." I defended myself.
