Dawn's pov:

I remained hiding as I felt him stand at a particular spot for a while - doing nothing.

I could swear my breath hitched at that moment and I stopped breathing.

Oh mercies!

I can't believe this is happening to me.

I think I'm destined to die this way - in the hands of King Lee..

I struggled to take another peep since he wasn't moving.

He just stood stiff staring at the bed, probably at sleeping Xenia.

I really couldn't explain what began happening at that minute.

The room became too quiet and I literally felt King Lee's heartbeat.

Yes...it felt so strong and heavy. 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!

    Dawn's pov:I couldn't stop switching sides on the bed. 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.

    Dawn's pov:I blinked rapidly still trying to stomach what the King just demanded.Does he mean it? Does he really want me to tell him a story?Geez!But I'm not a damn storyteller. I'm always occupied with work that I don't sit down for stories.I could barely remember those stories mom would tell me before I went to bed. I was pretty much younger then.Oh...how do I get out of this? How do I make something up??"I'm waiting..." King Lee muttered rolling his eyes."Well..you see, I'm really not in the mood to tell a story, my Lord" I bickered and I heard him scoff."I'm damn bored. I command you to be in the mood of storytelling before I ask you to fill three drums with water and I'll supervise you myself, you brainless rat" He sneered and I glared at him.Who does this king think he is??...I cleared my thro

    Dawn's pov:I struggled free from his grip and pushed him away from me.I didn't fancy the way he held me one bit."Don't you ever hold me like that again" I seethed and he rolled his eyes."Calm down...would you? The last thing I would do is to take advantage of what now belongs to the king."I just came to let you know about something that has been bugging me for days now" He paused and took a deep sigh."King Lee's soldiers are still in Muzana. They haven't left their camp yet...and I'm worried" He spilled and I felt an intense heat building up again.Oh God."Why haven't the soldiers left, Dawn? They should have left the moment you began living here. Does it mean...you're not enough? Isn't the king pleased with you, yet?" He asked obviously perturbed.My eyes dimmed and I was starting to loose my balance."I don't know the answers to

    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

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

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.

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

    (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) Dawn👑"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

    Tristan🔱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

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.

    Dawn👑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

    Alicia🔱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

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
