Renae's POV"Thank you June," I whispered as June set up my breakfast."Common, I am doing this so that you can get well soon. It's tiring," June pouted with a sarcastic smile planted on her face."I know… I promised to get well soon," I said, playing along."Nevertheless, thanks for the care," I added meaningfully and she patted my back.While I ate, she handpicked some hand tools into her bag as she prepared to leave. She slung her backpack on her back and I looked at her curiously."It's quite early, don't tell me you are going…" I said but she interrupted."Yes, it is what you think. Eden and I are going to gather some herbs. Our team was assigned for today… We have to set out earlier so that we can get your cut done too. We still return in time…You know, we are trying to appease the principal," June responded."Oh! I see… thank you June," I whispered."Eden…." I stuttered, "...he hasn't shown up since yesterday…""He hasn't forgiven you…he also mentioned that you needed privacy.
Renae's POVWhile the nurses helped me prepare to meet the prince, my mind was filled with different possibilities as to why he visited It was quite early and he did not look like he came to have fun. I was filled with dread. Is something wrong with the Princess? Is she still unwell? Has Logan figured out that I was the one who saved the Princess? Did he find out that I was the one who mind-linked him? "We are done," one of the nursemaids said, breaking into my thoughts."Thank you," I said as they supported me on both sides, I could barely walk on my own. Despite their help, I felt dizzy as my feet hit the ground. As we took each steps I groaned in pain"Sorry dear," one of the nursemaids said as we took baby steps out of the dorm.Leaving the dorm when I could barely walk was a bad idea. I made an open disgrace of myself as students cast auspicious glances at me. They called me names and cussed out loud."Where were you after you were thrown out of the party!?" Logan's voice boo
Logan's POVThe students who had gathered bowed their heads and made way for me as I stormed out of the cafeteria. I strutted out of the hospital and I made my way down to the palace.I just confirmed my fears. The small doctor was in the woods at the same time as the Princess when the Princess was poisoned. It is safe to predict that she saved the Princess, but if the Princess's testimony is correct, then the small doctor was the same person that poisoned the Princess.How could she!? That bitch. She attempted to murder the Princess. If this gets out, she will be annihilated alongside her family members. Thinking about it made my heart sink. There must be some misunderstanding… thinking about the way the small doctor cared for me, I don't think she could do that to the Princess. Moreover, Lian was right. Until yesterday when Jennifer turned me on, I felt something strong towards the small doctor. Although it was in the past, I still didn't want her to be harmed.But one thing tha
Logan's POV"What about her?" Jennifer asked, nudging my head to look at her."Yes," what about her, I asked again, chewing some cheesecakes in my mouth."Didn't you hear the rumors?" Jennifer asked."What rumors? Common… I am a busy man. I have no time for that.""If I had known that she was such a bitch, I wouldn't have insisted that she treat your wounds.""What is this all about?" I asked calmly."The small doctor is pregnant! She isn't just pregnant outside wedlock, she can't even name the father," Jennifer broke the bombshell.I smirked and looked away."Really? Don't tell me you are aware," Jennifer questioned in shock."I am aware. The night she was thrown out of the party, she returned to the hospital bathed in blood… she almost had a miscarriage… it's all because of your sick plot!""What? Don't tell me you are standing up for her again.""Why not? That's why you should be careful with people. No one knew she was pregnant until you turned her into a maid and made father thro
Logan's POVI have been expecting Beta Peter to come to see me privately, but he hasn't shown up.I still wondered why he lied to my father about my visit to the hospital. I was sure he definitely saw that I went there to question the small doctor.Although his action was questionable, he saved the small doctor. If he had told my father that I went to question her, she wouldn't be safe. Father would have commanded that she should be dragged down for questioning irrespective of her condition.As far as I was concerned, I still wanted to have a full grasp before deciding on what to do. If she was indeed guilty, I wouldn't hesitate to turn her over for punishment. The punishment for such an offense is death by hanging.Heaving a sigh, I rose to my feet and took a stroll around my chambers. I was smiling at the beautiful sunrise when the door opened. Lian walked in in the company of her guards. She had recovered fully and she was back on her feet. Mother had insisted that she stopped h
Lian's POVI couldn't lay low and watch things unfold. I was going to find things out my own way. I only waited to heal up and now I am as fit as a fiddle.Going out to find the small doctor was only an excuse to leave my chambers. Well, it wasn't just an excuse, I needed to see her. That night, I saw her in the woods where I was poisoned. I had walked along a beautiful creek when I found myself in the woods.I fell in love with the woods instantly. For some reason, l loved the serenity. I was a lively person and I loved a lively environment. But I was appalled by the beauty of the woods.It was surrounded by beautiful hills. The light from the full moon cast shadows over the hills making it feel all eerie. Funnily, I loved the feeling and I was compelled to have my first shift there.Walking deeper into the woods, I saw a field of wild lilacs. The fragrance reminded me of the small doctor, reminding me of what happened at the party.Walking past the flowers, I noticed a lone cave no
Lian's POVTrudging through the crowd, I made my way to the forefront where I had last seen the elderly man. Surprisingly, the man and the lady were gone, only a few students from the crowd were scattered here and there, murmuring and laughing. This is bad, I thought as I looked around. "Where are they? The man and the lady?" I charged toward the crowd, looking here and there, but nobody gave me an audience. They turned their backs to leave and continued to murmur.Angrily, I pulled a guy out from the crowd. He looked at me in astonishment and smirked as he raised his hand to hit me. My guard seized his arm amidst the air and the stupid smirk the guy had fell off his face immediately.I was sure he did not know that I was the Princess, my hunter shorts and jacket were a good cover.Seeing the hilt of the sword I hid behind me, the guy's eyes shone wide and he fidgeted."Where is the man and the lady?" I asked plainly this time."I don't… I don't know, but the man dragged her along
LianI looked at the old man with disdain, hatred beaming in my eyes as I tried to restrain myself from slashing him in the neck."You vile and evil man! How could you!? She is your daughter for crying out loud," I yelled, pointing at my guard who was fast disappearing with Renae clutched in his arms."The small doctor is nice and I hope she did not inherit a bit of your wickedness!" I blurted. "So you know, Renae Hart is dead as of today!" I repeated firmlyThe old man remained unfazed, he stood there looking coldly at me as I ranted. My blood boiled and I tightened my grip on my sword, using all my strength to stop myself from slashing the vein on his neck.My gaze darted around and I stared at the woman and the lady beside her. Instantly, I concluded that she wasn't Renae's mother. No mother would watch or do this to her daughter.I wanted to talk but I was short of words. I shook my head slowly and staggered away.I returned to my carriage and ordered my men."Return to my chamb
