Dawn's pov:
The guard opened the door and I walked in feebly.
I never thought I would ever step foot into this room again...not after I slept on the king's bed.
The loud noise of the door closing startled me and I snapped outta my thoughts.
King Lee was on his bed and the duvet covered the lower part of his body.
I approached him and stood beside him.
There was a black towel placed on his forehead and his eyes were closed.
"Good morning, My Lord" I greeted with a bow and his eyes fluttered open.
"I'm disappointed in you. I'm here getting weaker and sicker and you had no intentions of coming to see how I was doing?" He asked glaring at me.
Geez!
He talks too much🙄
"I'm sorry. I was just tired from standing up through out yesterday" I replied pouting.
"You could have told me you were tired of standing up" He sneered
Dawn's pov:"Walk faster...you brainless rat" King Lee groused pulling me along with him.Oh Geez!!I scuttled behind him quickly and I was utterly gob smacked he didn't let go off my hand.I was starting to feel scared and unsafe.Why's he being strange and...nice - like he has known me for ages or something.We got to the sitting room part of his chambers. The sofas were coated with black leather and and gold table.Like...everything in the room was glittering.It made me recall what happened at the bathroom. I was carried away with the brightness of everything that I didn't realize I was using King Lee's leg soap.Gosh!"I need your ideas on this two portrait" He started and unveiled the two covered framework.A 'wow' tore from my lips on seeing the two goddamn photos.Who took this photo???It
Manuel's pov...."The informant has returned and we have his reports with us" My best friend - Castro said walking into the room.I looked up from the book I was reading and fixated my eyes on the paper he was holding.He stretched it out to me and I took it from him pondering on whether the information would be useful.I read through the written content and smiled.It contains the record of things King Lee would be doing this week.Places he would be going to thereby leaving the castle and the time he will be going."The weapons are ready too and the seller gave us discounts since we would be fighting King Lee. That man's enemies are numerous" He stated sitting on a couch.I took up the lit cigarette and inhaled from it. The smoke came out from my nostrils and filled the air."He knows there are too many enemies that would do anything to hav
Alicia's povđź‘‘"The maid has been paid just like we agreed" Esme informed with a low voice.I smiled and turned to stare out through the glass window."What about Simone...? Is she okay?" I asked worriedly.She sighed not answering immediately while I scarcely anticipated."No one knows. The doctor was escorted straight to King Lee's office without speaking to anyone" She replied perfunctorily.I released the breath that hitched for a long time since Simone was taking away.I didn't mean to hurt her like that but I was desperate - killing two birds with one stone.I get to put the new b***ch in trouble with the king and also keep Simone from giving birth to a son for the king.I really didn't want to put Simone through such pains. She have been here at the castle for almost a year now and we've gotten a little bit...peaceful.
Dawn's povđź‘‘My heart continued to beat like a party drum and the King still had his back turned on me.The fear and worry alone sent shivers through my endocrine system and could barely stand.To be sincere, I'm tired of this dramas and just want to back home. If only it was easy as I seems.King Lee groaned staring down at his hand. He glanced at it for a while before looking up at me."This new ring is skintight. It'd surely paralyze my finger if I keep wearing it. Help me pull it off, Anna" He mumbled stretching out his hand to me.I ambled to where he was unable to feel my legs.Words can't define how scared I was at the moment.I took his hand and held onto
Dawn's povđź‘‘King Lee's car was the most gorgeous and spotless car I've ever seen in my entire life.The seats was soft leather and the glasses were tinted and I bet no one could see us from outside no matter how hard they tried.The car's white color was blinding and reflected with the sun rays."Where do I shoot the dog? The head or legs?" He asked icily with his eyes fixed on the road.I gulped and drummed my fingers on the dashboards."I don't really know, your highness. Wherever your spirits leads you" I replied feeling a bit dazed.He chuckled and suddenly brought down his hands from the steering wheel.I flinched freaking out already while a smirk crept on his face."King Lee...what are you doing??" I asked alarmed."The head or the legs?" He queried.You got to be kidding me right
King Lee's povđź’ťI clenched onto the gun tightly about to pull the pull trigger but she ran to the dog and shielded it with her body."Don't do this...please" She quivered and my grip on the gun loosened."Get the hell up from there, right now" I groused still pointing the gun at the duo."Don't kill the dog, please your highness" She pleaded with a crumpled look.I took a deep sigh and lowered my head.Oh great.I was right..She's not that stone hearted.The Anna I've been spending much time with isn't so heartless to hurt Simone - the mother of my second child.I sighed again and brought down my hand."Aren't you afraid of death?" I asked walking to where she was.There was so much tears scrolling down from her eyes down to her cheeks."Stand up" I ordered icily but she re
Alicia's povđź’ťI blinked constantly unable to digest what Xenia just revealed - about princess Anna coming to her room late and night and touched her.What the heck could that mean? How was she able to enter her room without being spotted and much more...touching her? Could it be that woman is a witch?She was able to charm the king and now I'm just hearing that she also made a move on Xenia.I scrunitized over what Anna could possibly want from Xenia and also, she got healed after she touched her.This is preposterous.It can't be what I'm thinking....It definitely can't!I sighed feeling extremely dazed and confused over the issue."You mean she touched you and the pains disappeared?" I asked her and she lifted her head up with a nod."Dad came in later and caught her hiding under the bed" She muttered but I was able to hear her
Dawn's povđź‘‘I pulled my face away from him and batted my lashes."The thing is...While we were coming here, I wanted to eat something so the guards took me to a restaurant around" I replied warily.I can't believe I'm lying to him again...Oh God...He shrugged and started the car resuming to our ride.The car began moving with so much speed and the AC seemed to increase making me feel entirely cold.The clothes King Lee bought for me didn't have long hands just like the princess's dresses.I felt more relieved and free than I ever been since I arrived at the castle.I couldn't help but think about the king...His voice, actions and glaring - these features were what I've never seen before in anybody else.He is unique and does things in a manner that leaves people in questions.Ho
(8 years later)The bright light from the sun reflected on the long white limousine which had the royal family inside. The car was speeding along the smooth hills of Euphoris."Mom, can I please wear your crown?" 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. Its their father they fear the most.Xenia sat across on her own sit together with Crystal - Dawn's little girl. She's five years old and is another version of Xenia.They're both the matured ones unlike K
(Next Morning) Dawnđź‘‘"Everything's all set and Caroline has left to go get Raphael. 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. He might be angry about Tristan. I know I shouldn't have told him!We got to the hall which was a wonderful sight with sophisticat
Dawn's pov..."Its nothing. I'm fine" I replied feeling a bit febrile. He walked slowly to where I was and took my hands."You don't need to worry. 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. The exciting thoughts of having a child for the king. What more could I
Tristanđź”±My eyes pierced into the short bottle of whiskey and it seemed to stimulate me the more. Cheers to my failure!I uncapped the bottle and brought it closer to my lips. 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
King Lee"Seriously Dawn?! I've been away for two weeks and that's all you can say?" I asked glaring at her."Oh...I'm sorry honey. But I suddenly felt like the cologne on your shirt is too much. 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?" I asked rolling my eyes.She sniffed and lowered her head.Here we go with her fake tears."I thought you loved me...and now you don't even wanna hel
(Wedding day) DawnI was hoping the castle would be filled up and occupied with a huge crowd from the whole kingdom and afar but no - it was just people with important positions and the wealthiest families.The royal priest had done the first wedding rituals and we said our vows and wore the rings. 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. Caroline posed as the bride's maid and Xenia as the little bride.I never for once sat down and thought about me getting married some day. And now its happening in such a way that surprises me.There were so much gift presented by the guests and Caroline was in charge of putting them away from the hall.It was finally time for the King and I to take our first dance together, befor
Dawnđź‘‘I bumped into King Lee on my way to the throne room. He looked happy and I told him about Xenia."Let's go then. She needs to start letting the maids feed her. 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
Aliciađź”±I opened my eyes slowly and realized I was at the hospital. The machinery and everything. Oh God! Why do I feel a bit empty around my lower abdomen.I was worn out and felt weak. 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
~~~ MORNING ~~~~~ Dawn's povMy eyes opened and scanned the first image I saw. It was him - staring at me.I yawned before sitting up on the bed.I can't believe I slept off last night and without having dinner.How insecure of me.He also sat up and kissed me on my left cheek.I gazed down feeling uncomfortable. I told him about the baby. I actually had the urge to do it.Oh goodness!"Won't you kiss me back?" He asked mutely.I remained quiet for a while.I'm not sure of what next to say or do."How do you feel about the baby?" I asked in a flaccid voice."There's no word for how I feel. What else cou
