I felt myself regaining consciousness and the white broad ceiling came into view.
I batted my lashes getting rid of the blurry vision.
I found myself on the bed and all covered up under the duvet.
Whoa...
Did Caroline bring me here? She's stronger than I thought.
I drew upwards in a sitting position just staring around my new room - a room that shouldn't even be mine.
gosh! This is too much to take!!
I can't believe I fainted just at the mere thought that I would become the third wife to king Lee.
It's just unimaginable and I pray I'd never see him till I come up with a way to escape from this place.
Yeah...I'm going to run away.
Even if I don't make it my mother, I'd go somewhere else. Away from this whole arrangement.
I huffed and plonked myself into the bed feeling - home sick.
I couldn't stop thinking of mom. We just have each other and now something's trying to break us apart.
How cruel...
A knock came upon the shut door and it took a minute before I replied.

The door opened and Caroline walked in shutting the door behind her. She smiled seeing that I was awake.
"My princess, you suddenly blacked out. I didn't alert anyone cause I thought maybe it was just stress from your travel" She stated clearly saying what she wasn't asked to say.
I sighed and left the bed feeling a bit dizzy.
"I want to go back to sleep. Don't disturb me till tomorrow morning" I ordered heading for the door I supposed was the bathroom.
"But...your highness, it's time for the general dinner. I actually came to wake you up and help you get ready".
I rolled my eyes. You've got to be kidding me right now.
"What if I don't want to attend...?" I asked distractedly.
"That would be a problem since the other wives are desperate to meet you" She muttered and I scoffed.
"Will the king be there?" I asked stopping on my track..

"So, none of you saw her when she arrived?" I asked glaring at the maids.
"No ma'am. She arrived so late and we couldn't leave our duty post to welcome her" One of them replied and I folded my arms.
I gazed at them angrily.
I decided to let the quest go since I would still meet her during dinner.
She can't be that beautiful. I'm clearly the fairest in the land and thousands of ladies adore me for being so gorgeous and a queen.
But if she becomes a pain in the neck, I'll put her in her place.

Selecting a dress for the dinner was work itself and at last, I am ready.
Caroline led the way while I followed from behind.
I didn't know a single place here and I get the hunch that it'd take a quite a time for me to be settled in properly.
We began going down the fleet of stairs. It was long and I wished I could disappear and appear at the end of the stairs but that's impossible.
I'm only gifted with healing powers...nothing more.
We arrived and I gawped at the two beautiful ladies seated on the seats facing their meal.
I guessed they were pretty because of the outstanding make up on their faces but come to think of it.... isn't it bed time??
Caroline pulled out a chair for me and I sat down adjusting the dress I wore. She exited the dining room leaving just the three of us.
"Um...good evening" I greeted though it took a lot of efforts for me to blurt that.
The woman with the blonde hair had her eyes on me as though she was checking me out.
"You're the only princess sitting on this table so you know better than to greet us without respect!" She chided sternly and I rolled my eyes.
What's her problem??
*It's not like you're eating the greetings your highness* was what I was pushed to say but I didn't.
I rather kept calm and uncovered my plate.
I heard her scoff and began eating her meal.
The pregnant lady whom I suppose was Simone didn't utter a word as she ate like a hungry lion.
Pregnancy...
See what it has turned her to.
I pray king Lee hates me and sends me back or doesn't touch me at all.
The thought sent shivers down my endocrine system.
Oh Lord...please save me from this mess.
Suddenly, I heard footsteps drawing near and I lifted my face to look.
Could...could it be him???
Luck was on my side as a little little girl walked in holding on to one of the maids.
She's so adorable and cute.
She must be the king's first child.
"Mommy!" Her tender voice called and the grumpy woman looked at her.
"Xenia. Come here dear".
The little girl left the maid and raced to her mother and she carried her into her arms.
Aww.
I tried not to think so much about mom cause the more I did, the more I had headaches.
I sighed and resumed eating ignoring my co. wives.
So annoying!...
The food was hot and tasted so good that I remembered that this was the most luxuriant meal I've ever eaten.
Mom's food is the best but not at rich as this. I even intended to lick the plates after I'm done.
Mmm...
Suddenly, I felt cold water splash on me and i quickly stood up astonished.
I stared down at the little girl holding a cup. She did this...
How could she?
She immediately ran back to her mother who took the cup from her with a devilish smirk.
I took a long stare at my drenched dress before taking my eyes back to them.
I'm going to murder someone tonight

Dawn's povI 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."
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!
