Bethel's pov🥀
[Dawn's mother]
I entered the room slowly with two maids behind me.
I couldn't stop staring around the place like a village girl.
The whole place was radiant and fabricated with a lot of porcelain materials.
"This is the room the King has assigned to you, ma'am Bethel" one of the maids said and I shook my head in disbelief.
I don't remember asking God for anything like this. I just wanted him to make Dawn experience a better life than I did.
He's such a promise keeper!
I sat on the bed feeling relieved from the long walk from downstairs.
Who knew stairs could be so long and broad??
"Where's my daughter?" I asked as I watched them put down my things next to the closet.
"She will meet you tomo
King Lee👑I approached the throne room hearing distinct noises and raucous.They've started arguing already?The guards bowed and pulled the door knob open. The noise stopped immediately.*All hail his royal Majesty, King Lee of Euphoris*The council and elders stooped to their knees fervently and I walked gracefully to the throne."Make yourselves comfortable" I stated.Grumpily, they stood on their feet and faced the throne."We can't make ourselves comfortable when the people are outside protesting over your newest bride? This has never happened during the reign of your father!" Ramses - the oldest of the elders rasped."Well, I presume there's a first time for everything or...am I wrong?" I asked sounding perturbed."We know you're faking it! What is wrong with you, child??" The other
....Alicia's pov.....I stood at the balcony watching the commotion outside the gates.The soldiers were starting to use violence on the protesters and I guess its under the King's orders too.I cringed feeling so devastated.Can I ever be happy again???My heart ached as I reminisced over what has happened over the past weeks.All the punishments and tortures I've received from the King just because of one stupid girl who is even a witch!I wish I gave birth to a boy when I had the chance. I'm tired of the shame I face whenever I look into my daughter's face.I want a better life for Xenia. How do I make that happen?I heard footsteps creeping close behind me and I decided to take a glance.Tristan.He walked faster and got to where I was."How are you doing, my queen?" He asked smiling."I'm just curious about how the whole kingdom now knows that the princess is a healing witch"."It
....(A week later).... Dawn's pov....I paced around the room feeling curious and terribly scared.I've been waiting patiently for my monthly menstrual period but its not forth coming.I think I'm sick. Could it be King Lee hurt my vagina with his member and my period seized??Oh heavens!I could think anything possible at the moment.I'm too scared to tell mom about this and neither could I tell King Lee.He's barely at the castle this past week.I swear I saw him just twice and then he's off with the council.Is this how its gonna be when I get married to a king??He will have so many things to handle and won't always be there.I guess I'll get used to it.A knock came at the door but I didn't notice just yet.It came once again and I replied wryly.The door opened and I discovered it was mom who had been knocking."Hey mom" I muttered despondently."Are you alright?" Sh
King Lee👑I could barely sit up from my bed after I laid on it.The stress I went through during the week was damn much that I feel like never getting up again.I'm still young.I don't want to have weak bones when I'm still in my early 20's.I plonked myself into the thick bedsheet and the image that filled my mind was Dawn's beautiful face.She was a huge distraction to me during the travels.I can't wait to see her.I admit I'm kinda bored too.A knock came on the door and I responded coyly to it.Raphael walked in and he bows instantly."Where's Dawn?" I asked feeling my heart beat increase."She refused to come see you, your highness" He replied and I cringed.What?!!!! Alicia🔱
Alicia🔱I blinked rapidly trying to regain my pulse.My ears are starting to hear nonsense!!I can't be f•••king pregnant.For who???King Lee!He haven't touched me for ages now.I pulled myself to stand erect and just then another urge kicked in throwing my head back to the ground.I noticed I felt even weaker and nauseous. There's no doubt something's wrong with me.I just hope its not what I'm thinking.It can't be too late to get rid of the pregnancy, would it?"Don't be frightened Alicia. It can still be an ordinary fever" The lady cooed behind me and I made a grimace.Its been long since I took ill and I barely get sick.But all the same, I still hope she's right."Cmon, let's get you cleaned up" She muttered
Dawn👑"Why are you asking me such a personal question? It shouldn't concern you" I said gaily.I heard her scoff."Witch!" She called under her breath.I rolled my eyes and left for mom's bedroom. ~ THICK FOREST ~ Kalani🔱I drew out the sword slowly from my belt and dropped it on the black stone.I knelt on the floor."You lost the bet! We've lost all our house and wealth. What are you doing back here? You want to finish me up completely?!!!" He yelled angrily at me..."I know I failed you, my husband. I thought that Manuel and Castro wou
Dawn👑I couldn't stand sleeping on an empty stomach and I kept cringing at intervals.I'm starving!A knock came on the door and I sublimely walked to it.I just hope its Caroline.She needs to get me something to eat.I checked who it was and it turned out to be one of the maids.She carried a heavy tray on her hands and I needed no one to tell me it was food."The King ordered me to bring your dinner to your room" Her sweet voice echoed.I stole another glance at the tray and heard my tummy grumble.It felt embarrassing but I cared less."I don't want it" I lied and shut the door on her face.I sighed and leaned my back against the door.Who does he think he is?He thinks mere food can just make me feel better?
Dawn👑I didn't move an inch as I remained under duvet taking deep breaths.Just seeing his face weakened me.I should just forgive him but he'll have to beg first.The duvet suddenly slide from my hands and I looked up to see him staring at me.His eyes sparkled and I gulped."What's wrong with you? Get up so you can eat something" He said and tried pulling me up."Leave me alone!" I rasped and tried freeing from his grasp.He stopped making efforts to get me up and I folded my arms tightly."Why didn't you come when I called you? What if I was terribly sick?"..."I don't care. Just leave me alone" I muttered.My tummy grumbled loudly and he sat beside me on the bed."I didn't mean to hurt you. I was just mad you refused to come see me" He whispered.
