"What's the rush, Lady Genesis?" Lady Iris asks while eyeing Genesis's body from head to toe.
"What are you doing at this hour, Lady Iris?" Genesis intensely gazes at Lady Iris.
"Oh, getting some fresh air," Iris replies as she made a wide smile.
However, Genesis finds the smile odd, and she's feeling uncomfortable.
"Lady Genesis, I heard you forgot what happened to you in the woods. Was it true?" Lady Iris questions while she raises her brows in curiosity.
On the other hand, Lady Genesis gets flabbergasted by Lady Iris's question.
'Me? My memories? What?!' Genesis asks herself while she feels like she is about to puke by thinking about it.
"That's unfortunate, Lady Genesis..." Lady Iris expresses with force pity face while underneath her words are a mockery.

Yells the unknown man.His eager voice reaches Alphonso's location, so the Prince, Minister, and Lady Ruby pick up their pace to rush to the main hall.They sprint to get there."We-!" Before the man could continue his speech, he is halted by the Archduke."State your concern, my nephew," King Hedery states while staring daggers at his nephew."Your Excellency," Butler Ferd anxiously whispers in Ridge's right earhole."I am here to claim what's mine," Ridge nonchalantly states while his eyes remain lifeless, staring at the King.Upon Alphonso's arrival, he immediately s

How dare he defy his mate's little request!" King Hedery harshly growls as he slams his right hand on his chair."Your Highness, if you allow me to express, I cannot blame Archduke Ridge's action towards his mate as I witnessed how much he adores Lady Genesis." Kedrick expresses while retaining his lower head in the King's presence."Father, I wish to speak to you," Prince Alphonso comes to insert in their discussions."Yes, Alphonso?"

She stammers in fear while her body trembles, thinking of the worst-case scenario."Princess Corine, you need to be safe. Also, we will make sure to protect everyone in the Kingdom." Minister Kingsley reassures Princess Corine as he pats her head to help her calm down a bit."You must go!"
