....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.
Alicia🔱My eyes fluttered open and I spent some seconds blinking in order to regain my sight.The room was bright and I came to remember what happened yesterday.I slept in the King's room and he's not even here.I sat up on the bed and saw the box of pin next to me.I couldn't even finish it last night.Some job.King Lee is something else.I was desperate to count the pin because he promised to sleep with me after i was done.I'm just looking for a way to pin the pregnancy on him in case I'm actually pregnant.The door opened immediately and he walked in. He was still dressed in the clothes he wore last night."Good morning, My Lord" I greeted and he paused."Are you done counting the pin?" He asked and I nodded."Yes, your highness. They're two hundred and thirty fo
Alicia🔱"What??!" Riley yelled with her eyes viciously wide."Oh for heaven's sake, keep it down" I groused looking around the garden."Someone might hear us" I added and she rolled her eyes."I don't care about that Alicia, what I'm worried about us you trying to get rid of this baby. Are you drunk?!" She screamed and I cringed."I'm fine, okay? I'm just preventing the wrath of King Lee when he discovers that the child is not his. Isn't better I save myself from painful death than giving birth to a b*st*rd?" I asked perturbed."The child is not a b*st*rd.....""The father is a nobody. Tristan can barely cater for his family and you want me to drop on his shoulders? I don't like the idea if being poor, Riley" I bickered."God! What are you going to do about this?" She asked tilting her head."Abortion" I said mutely.
(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
(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
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
~~~ 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
