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

Dawn's povI remained standing transfixed as the king's cold glares didn't leave me.I gave him a pleading look shaking my head negatively.He took his eyes back to Xenia and patted her hair.I gulped staring like a bloated goat.He got up and looked around the messy dinning. Believe me when I tell you it's a complete mess.Suddenly, a weird unexpected laugh tore from his lips and he stepped back.Now I'm sure of it - he is a psycho."So the three of you decided to turn this place into a dog house, huh?!!" He barked quizzically."My Lord....The king stopped Alicia from speaking.There was dead silence in the whole room.He took some steps towards me with his hands in his pockets.His eyes pierced into mine and I didn't know what gave me the boldness to look back at him.
King Lee's povAfter sending the guard out to get princess Anna - my newest p***y, I sat on my stool enjoying a glass of wine.Yes...I'm going to f***k her tonight no matter what.I'm anticipating on how she'd be in between her legs. If there's anything special there at all.Since she's the savior of her stupid kingdom.A knock came on the door and a maid rushed in."Your highness, please forgive me for just barging in. Queen Simone sent me, she asks that if you could come...it's urgent" She said and I arched my brows.Seriously?? Simone's povI knew king Lee would want to taste that new freak tonight but I can't let that happen.I won't let the new girl replace me before his eyes.I don't want to end up being like Alicia.Rejected
(Next Morning) Alicia's povThe room was filled with maids attending to Xenia's needs.A direct order from the king...I'm glad her head had been bounded by the doctor. He got here as early as possible."We're done, your highness" Esme said walking Xenia to where I was - on a lounge chair."Oh! 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.
....Dawn's pov....I never thought I could feel my heart beat so loud like it had intention of leaving my chest.He still had his back facing me and that made me relieved though.Why would he ask such...all of a sudden!Oh heavens!I might as well tell him the truth and face the consequences than to trapped to keep telling lies to everyone."The truth is...Suddenly, the door flung open and two men barged in. They were dressed as knights and had swords with them."My lord...we brought the gold thief. Should we bring him in?" The first knight asked gingerly."Bring him in" king Lee muttered after a short silence.The two men turned and made a signal towards the door. Two guards made their way in pushing in a man with them.The minute the trio got to the center of the room, the knight gave the man a brute
Dawn's povAfter what happened earlier today, I was starting to fear King Lee the more.He killed a man emotionlessly.Without even thinking much about it.Just remembering it sends shivers through my veins. I don't think I have the guts to escape this place.If it doesn't turn out to be successful and I get caught, I'll brought to him.He won't waste time in hurting me.I did as he said and prepared for the banquet right before it would begin.I met the other wives on the way but I moved faster to the hall with Caroline behind me.Guests from all places where starting to arrive but ignored them all and moved to the seat kept for me. Bethel's povI stood at a corner staring aimlessly as the evening grew darker.The decorations were beautiful and so were the qu
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.
