Marcus!!" Aiken shrieked in fright, his eyes dilating in shock.What the hell is that??? What's happening???His eyes went round immediately and found the shooter at the top of a fence, trying to fix another arrow into his bow.Marcus had already dropped to the floor, bleeding profusely and it was obvious he wasn't gonna make it. And without further hesitation, Aiken started running away before the Archer would finish up."Damn it!" The archer groaned as he watched the boy running away.His hands shook a little as he tried fixing the arrow into the bow but by the time he finally did, the boy was already out of sight.He stood up from his position immediately and started the race - trying to run after him.No! He couldn't lose the boy. Not now! Not when he was so close. He'd been trying to shoot at him, but the stupid friend was standing in the way and running out o

Roseline gasped and touched her cheek which the princess had slapped.Whaat?? She slapped her!Even the maid beside her was surprised because the action wasn't called for. "Next time, you watch where you're going". Cara stated spitefully and tried walking away."Was that really neccesary?" Roseline asked and Cara stopped walking. "Are you talking to me?" She scoffed. "Do you want me to pull your hair?" She suddenly gripped her hair and pulled it hard."Let me go!!" Roseline winced and tried freeing herself from her grasp, but it wasn't working out. Who the hell is this woman??"Cara!" They heard a voice and Cara let go of her hair immediately. It was the King!"My King!" She called and bowed immediately and Roseline also turned to look at Lincoln.Hold on; could it be possible he'd felt the slap as well??"Roseline thought.Lincoln looked so angry as he marched towards them with his guard

Lincoln's hands grew weak immediately. Whaat??? Sally?? Martha's friend??His brows arched as he looked at the man who was still panting heavily."You liar" he growled. "You're trying to blame someone else for your own mistakes?? Tell me the truth or I'll kill you?!!" "It is the truth!" The man yelled in fear just as the King lifted the sword again.He couldn't take it anymore. Never."You can ask your sister" he continued, his eyes nearly bulging out. "When you were still sick and she'd discovered the healer could be of help, who was the first and only person she told?? It was her friend. Apart from both of you, who else knew about the secret of the bond? It was her friend! Apart from both of you, who else knew about the boy - Aiken? It was her friend! Sally had always been the third party in everything! You just never noticed!"Lincoln was finding it so hard to believe; the words were too heavy for him.Although, he wasn'

Roseline wanted to believe she didn't hear the King correctly because it couldn't be true. Like...no way.She'd be staying in his room??? Whaat???"I'll get the maids to bring your things over in a short time" he further said, making her confirm his words. "That way, I'm sure no harm would come to you". Roseline's jaws dropped. "B.. But, is that really neccesary?" She asked. She couldn't believe she'd be sharing the room with the King! Like... sleeping in the King's chambers!! What if his brides gets upset??"Of course, it's neccesary, Roseline - for both of us. And at least, it's only going to be for the meantime until Aiken's back with the solution", he said and she forced herself to nod.It's only going to be for the meantime, Roseline - she thought. Just a day or two and everything will be back to normal. "Come with me" Lincoln sai

Accompanied by some guards - of course- Roseline returned to the King's Chambers and when she had got in, she found him writing on his table. Urgh! Does he ever get some rest?? "Good evening, My King" she greeted with a bow as she stopped walking. "Roseline. Where have you been?" Lincoln asked without lifting his head to look at her. His hands were still moving freely on the scripts. "I've been with Martha, My King" she said with a bow again. Somehow, she couldn't tell why she heard some echoes of possession in his tone.  Lincoln didn't say any other thing, and Roseline figured that was enough and went ahead to sit on the bed.  Oh! She felt so uneasy. How would she be able to cope in the room with him huh? She watched him from the corners of her eyes as he scribbled down in the scripts. Then fin
