Blake knew how much Rose loved her father, Hardin, and the fact that he was in prison had been a constant source of pain for her. As the King of Greenville, Blake had the power to commute sentences, and he was determined to use that power to help Rose and her father.Blake began by speaking with the prison warden and requesting that Hardin be transferred to a more comfortable cell.

He enlisted the help of the best lawyers in the country, and they began to work on a strategy to get Hardin released.The case was complicated, as Hardin had been convicted of several serious crimes, including drug trafficking and racketeering.

Pain!Rose's PovI grew up to know only my dad. People say my mother was very materialistic, and so she couldn't stay in her marriage with a husband who couldn't provide a three square meal in a day. An attitude everyone in my society saw as that of a woman who was loose and had no self respect for her family.Father had not been the best of dad, but he tried giving me what I needed at times. He was hardly home, and when he did it was with different women. I could remember the times he came home with different women. Threw lots of parties , danced with them and drank himself to stupor.A close by neighbor called Mariam ,had once told me some dispectible things about my mother, how she always got into a tinted Black SUV which always took her out and brought her back late at night. The whole neighbours believed it was the man which she had ran off with. They would hear her pick up quarrels with dad and he ended up fighting her. Most times she sustained injuries from their fight and ende
Blake's PovI sat down on a swivel chair in the royal garden so I could get enough fresh air from the evening which was so cool. It seemed cloudy as if it was going to rain but I didn't mind staying there because these past few days had been so hot especially when one steps out of the palace. I think the weather was trying to make up for those past hot days , although I was boiling so hard in my heart. My hands folded ,with my legs crossed against each other, as the seat spinned from side to side. One could tell that I was in a bad mood and needed my privacy.It was like the whole world was about crumbling before me and I was going to loose all I had worked hard for since I turned eight. The throne, which was my birth right was about to be taken from me by those council men who always presented themselves as the custodian of all our cultures. I had never had a cause to worry about my future than now. While pondering over those last words of Liliana, the duchess of Albania. She had le
Rose's PovMy eyes felt too weak, when I opened it gradually. Everything seemed blur before me as I tried to know where I was. I felt this sharp pain in my head as I tried stretching my neck from the pillow which I noticed was supporting it. I kept rolling my eyes from one side to another as I could faintly see someone looking deep into my eyes with so much concern. Although the picture wasn't clear,but I could tell it was a female and she was in great fear as I had her speak while holding my hands tightly.Although it wasn't all clear but I could tell she was not having a happy look as I felt tears drop on my hands. Then I felt a touch on my palm and a tiny voice which I quickly recalled." Thank God you are alive, I have been so worried and I kept praying that you over come this. I'm so glad you are finally awake", the voice said as my eyes beamed brighter and I got to see Sharon in tears beside me. She already had a red nose and I could hear her trying to blow her nose. Her eyes w
Blake's PovThe only place I could think of visiting was the hospital ,where father was. It was about two hours from the capital of New Orleans. Grace healing hospital in Greenville. Doctor Dante had suggested moving father there from the Medical Centre Hospital ,New Orleans, to avoid the media.The royal family knew how concerned the people were when it came to their King my father. He was loved by all and the news of his health could bring the whole country to a very sad moments. This was the reason why Dad had to be moved in order to hide his present condition from the people. New Orleans had a very great Media impact on the people and that was what we all feared the more. unlike Greenville where the media there was calm. New Orleans where the best in carrying news far and wide ,most times those news were fabricated lies ,although they had little atom of truths in them. We were not ready for such pressure from the media and the lies that came with their news this was why moving fat
