Scorpion at the banquet
Dawn's pov
After 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 pov
I 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!
The King And I The perfect Story
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.
The King And I The Unexpected
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
The King And I To Be Touched
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
The King And I The Green Soap
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

The sofas were coated with black leather and and gold table.Like...everything in the room was glittering.It made me recall what happened at the bathroom. I was carried away with the brightness of everything that I didn't realize I was using King Lee's leg soap.Gosh!"I need your ideas on this two portrait" He started and unveiled the two covered framework.A 'wow' tore from my lips on seeing the two goddamn photos.Who took this photo???It
The King And I Princess Anna
Manuel's pov...."The informant has returned and we have his reports with us" My best friend - Castro said walking into the room.I looked up from the book I was reading and fixated my eyes on the paper he was holding.He stretched it out to me and I took it from him pondering on whether the information would be useful.I read through the written content and smiled.It contains the record of things King Lee would be doing this week.Places he would be going to thereby leaving the castle and the time he will be going."The weapons are ready too and the seller gave us discounts since we would be fighting King Lee. 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

Alicia's pov👑"The maid has been paid just like we agreed" Esme informed with a low voice.I smiled and turned to stare out through the glass window."What about Simone...? Is she okay?" 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.
