Meeting The King

Dawn's pov

I was now cleared on the fact that I have an enemy here at the castle.

Anger began eating me alive and I thought of what to do.

Without a second thought, I grabbed the glass filled with water and ambled to where she was. 

I raised my hand and emptied the whole water on them.  

They both jerked up from their seats with gasps. The look on their face was priceless.

"What the h3ll! Have you lost it???" The lady fired and I rolled my eyes.

I turned and walked back to my chair glamorously. 

My butt was barely on the seat when Alicia picked up the cutleries on her side of the table and threw them at me but I dodged it.

Whaaat?

I stood my ground and took Simone's glass of water splashing it on Alicia.

She used her hands to shield herself but the water still soaked her.

"You bi**h!" She rasped and picked up her plate throwing the whole food at me.

Damnit...

She tried to hit me with her remaining fork but Simone got up and the fork landed on her.

Oops.

"You pathetic fools" Simone seethed and carried her empty plates throwing it as us individually.  

Geez!

"I wasn't the one that tried to murder you with a fork!" I groused and she smirked.

In a few seconds, the whole dinning room was a mess as we began throwing things at each other; The Vegetables and other edibles on our plates.

I had my eyes on Alicia as she took a big round serving plate aiming for me.

I shrieked and was about to take cover when she released the plate and it hit her daughter.

Oh my God!

The little girl...

"Xenia!" Alicia called in fright and scurried to her.

Xenia's tears were starting to scroll down her cheeks. Poor thing.

I stared in dismay as Alicia consoled Xenia but her tears seemed like she was just beginning.

Alicia was almost in tears as she embraced her to stop crying. 

Just then, we began hearing footsteps.

Bold and clear footsteps...

I gazed intently from where it was coming from.

My nostrils instantly got occupied with sweet thick rich perfume which I suppose was expensive and precious.

Holly Molly!

My nose was in heaven. 

Who could smell so good like this, huh?

He walked in...

With his black hair ruffled and curly...

The first few buttons of his fine kingly robe was opened...

Eyes so green and crazy...

Lips perfect and pink....

A gold shinning earring on his left ear...

Oh Heavens!

He walked so perfectly with his hands behind his back. 

King Lee...

I'm so going to faint.

He was much more drop dead handsome in person.

How can he be the crazy king everyone was talking about? Crazy but dangerous...

Our eyes locked for a second there but it didn't last as he drifted them to his crying daughter.

There were few guards behind me.

He gazed at her for a while and Alicia left her maintaining a distance from the father and daughter.

He stooped to the child's level and huffed. 

"What are you doing Xenia?" He asked her and I blinked rapidly.

Can't he see she's in tears?

His voice was deep and sweet. 

So damn appealing...

Xenia sniffed unable to stop her tears.

King Lee touched the girls hair and paused for a while before withdrawing his hand. 

Blood.

There was blood stained on his hand. 

God!

This is not happening.

Conniption gripped me as I stared at the blood in his hand.

The plate injured her for real...?

Oh goodness.

Alicia is so dead

King Lee slowly took his hand to his head and rubbed the blood off.

"Who did this to you?" He asked with so much darkness resounding in his voice.

I watched as Xenia glanced at her mother who had slight tears on her cheeks.

"I'm waiting Xenia" King Lee cooed impatiently, fiddling with the button on Xenia's dress.

She sniffed and began cleaning her tears with her hands.

She turned to me and before I could say 'jack', she pointed towards me and the king threw his gaze at me.

Whaaat?

How could Xenia do this???

I'm officially dead

You look beautiful dear" I cooed taking Xenia's hand.She was in a pink dress and her blonde hair was fixed into a ponytail with a tiara on it. So princess like..."Thank you Mom" she muttered and sat beside me."How's your head now?" I asked rubbing her small fingers."I'm fine mom" she replied wryly."And I'm about to have breakfast now" she added standing up.I chuckled and held her hand before turning to the

    Dawn's povI grabbed the guard's arm as soon as he was about to leave."Where do you think you're going to?" I asked glaring at him."The king told me to sit somewhere and supervise your punishment, your highness" He replied with a stutter and I rolled my eyes."Don't tell me you'd sit here and watch a princess carry two heavy buckets in the name of punishment. I haven't even had breakfast you jerk. And from the weakness i feel, I won't survive this punishment if you let me do it alone" I muttered holding him firmly.He looked around as his cheeks turned tomato red."Well...what do you want me to do, princess?" He asked feebly and I smiled."Can you please lend me a water hose that'll channel the water into the drum making the work easier for me? It's not too much to ask, is it?" I pouted giving him both an innocent and a seductive smile.

They were dressed as knights and had swords with them."My lord...we brought the gold thief. Should we bring him in?"

Like his whole emotions were being released on seeing Xenia lay sick on the bed.I was starting to feel that strong love a man has for his daughter.King Lee can actually care about someone this much??Wow!

I was so uncomfortable and really wanted to be in the right spot.I unleaned from the bed and stared down at the pillow.I gave it a few punches before I plonked back on it roughly.Then an irrirating knock came on the door ruining my sleep.I ignored the knock completely covering my ears."Princess Anna" Caroline called out and my eyes flickered open.The door creeked and Caroline walked in. Firmly closing the door behind her.I noticed her hair was left untied and her top quite revealing.I didn't put much interest as I stretched my arms and legs before curling up on the bed."Good morning, Your highness...How was your night?" She asked with a bow and I smiled lightly."It was fine, thank you" I muttered perfunctorily.

Kian - Dawn's first son asked removing the one on his head.Dawn sighed and reached for the gold crown on her own head and handed it to him. He collected the crown and right before he could place it on his head, Kyle - his younger twin brother pounced on him dragging for it."I wanna wear mom's crown too!!" He screamed and Dawn made a grimace."Stop it, you two!" She rasped and gave up immediately; She knew they wouldn't listen to her.

We have to start going" I rasped trying to zip up the dress I wore.My baby bump was getting in the way for the clothe to pull together. Xenia was on the bed playing a game with my phone while King Lee was behind me fixing his hair.He helped me pull up the zipper and the dress was finally fitted. Thank goodness it isn't too tight. I'd pass out before we get there."Alright let's go! Come on Xenia" I said taking her hand. She climbed down from the bed and we left the room together.King Lee wasn't I such a good mood so I tried not to get him more upset.He has been dead quiet since we woke up this morning.

After I get back from the meeting, I won't be going anywhere else through out this week. We'll spend lots of time together, huh?".I stood up and embraced him tightly. His hands wrapped around my waist and we cuddled ourselves for some minutes."I'll be back and stay out of trouble. I wouldn't want anything to happen to the twins" He teased with a wink.I gasped."Don't you dare wish that for me. I can't possibly have twins!" I panicked and he chuckled."With all the make outs and more rounds you've been asking for? There's definitely gonna be twins growing in there" He smirked.I hugged him again brimful of smiles.

I gulped all the bitter strong content at once that it started to wear me out. I tossed the bottle out of the window.That's the third bottle I'm taking today. I know its wrong for guards to be drinking on the job but right now...I don't give a d**n!*Tristan! Tristan!!* A familiar voice yelled from out in the room.I stood up from the toilet seat and wiped my lips with the back of my palm."I'm here!" I shot out stonily and stepped out of the toilet.There was a figure leaning by the door and his hands crossed. I know that figure - I can never forget the jerk that keeps lecturing me to emulate my cousin's virtues."You've been working here for a long time, Tr

It smells" She replied making a grimace."You're so annoying!" I grunted and started pulling off my shirt. I was now shirtless and the gold chain dangled on my neck.Dawn ran her hands around my chest and I just gazed into her beautiful face.She's added so much weight because of the baby."Are you tired? I think I want you right now" She whispered with her eyes glued to my half n*ked body."Are you kidding me?? A while ago, you called me smelly and now you want me?"

It was time for the proper ball and luckily, much things weren't required from me.Mom was here dressed so ravishing and shimmering her gold gown.

I won't be around all the time" He mumbled as we strolled to her room together."She's still sad about her mom leaving. She can't stop being moody and perturbed" I said worriedly."She'll get over it. You can help her, Dawn. You're her second mom, right now"."I realized. How's your mother? She barely comes out of her room after the day she spoke in court" I recalled."She's used to being indoors so that's virtually her business" He replied coldly.I opened the door to Xenia's room and we entered. She sat on the bed quietly.There's no doubt she's going through something. She's being disturbed emotionally."Hey princess" King Lee called and knelt beside her on

Too weak to sit up or do anything. I can't believe I survived the torture earlier. I'm still alive after the pains and bleeding.I don't want to leave this beautiful world yet. So, I'm really grateful that I made it all.There was some wires and strings attached to my body and a thin transparent line placed across my face.The door opened afterwards and a doctor walked in accompanied with two nurses."Good morning, queen Alicia. You should be grateful that the surgery went well and we were able to save your life" The man said and scribbled something on the paperboard he was holding.I gulped and tried to recover my voice. My throat was a bit sore and stung
