Lord Xander felt bored and exhausted. For someone like him, it was extremely hard to feel this way and he wondered if it was as a result of the encounter he has with Prince Berlin earlier that day.  His mother's words wouldn't stop ringing in his ears:*Someday, you'll become a father and I'm so sure you'll never want to watch anyone hurt your child* he couldn't get rid of those lines.  Become a father? But how?.How, when he was under a curse? How, when he had lost his previous wives in the process of giving him a child?  He was cursed; was never going to have an heir; a successor. When he dies, his legacy would be gone; and rulership passed onto another.  He dropped the feather he was writing with and covered his face with his palms, taking a deep breath. Over the years, he's never felt so torn, so broken.  He was nearly divin

Jaden gasped, and Kaylan also flinched when she felt someone lifting her up. There was no way it could be Jaden; no. The hand felt so cold and hard, and evidently, it was.... Lord Xander? He lifted her up in a bridal style and settling on, she could now see his face.  Those troublesome eyes of hers widened in shock as they stared at him. *What're you doing?* She wanted to ask, but restricted herself, especially without the fact that her lungs had suddenly gone cold. But, what was he doing??? Why was he helping her up??? She never expected such from him.  Lord Xander could notice the shock on her face, but ignored it anyways as he started walking with her.  "Oh!" Jaden muttered and ran ahead of them, so she could lead the way to the room.  The few seconds walk she had in Lord Xande

Queen Hapitha sat behind her desk in her chambers, writing on the long brown scroll. She scribbled on it effortlessly as she wrote the letter for her daughter, Kaylan. She could not describe in words how worried she had been ever since she left.*My precious daughter, how are you doing? I hope you been doing great and hope the Xander community is treating you well. *I’ve been worried sick about you my dear. I’ve tried convincing your father about you coming back home but he is not listening to me*The queen continued writing until the whole script got filled up.After pouring her heart into the scroll, she dropped the ink in her hand and folded up the scroll then kept it at a corner on the table. She would send the letter once she was sure the king was too busy to notice it.She stared at the window and stood up, noticing it was almost midday. She wondered what Kaylan was doing at the moment as she walked to the window and parted the long heavy curtains. She stared down and saw the

It was late in the evening as Anya was seen walking to the other building of the palace where Akim and her sisters with their mother shared.She walked swiftly to Akim's door and knocked. She knocked impatiently again and almost immediately, the door opened with Akim sticking out his head from one corner of the door. "Can I come in? I need to talk to you."Akim rolled his eyes and stepped aside for her. She quickly entered after looking around and closed the door behind her.She turned around to see Akim as she got into the room. "Any progress on what I told you about?""I feel so tired." Kayla groused as she stepped out of the bathroom. Jaden was on the bed, already dosing off."Do you think I should go to Lord Xander's room? Should I go and apologize for being disobedient again today?" Kayla asked but got no reply.She turned to look at Jaden and rolled her eyes when she noticed she was already fast asleep. She sighed and moved closer to the bed then stared into her friend's face.H

Kaylan got to the dinning and met everyone - except Lord Xander, already at the table.She greeted Madame Nadie before sitting down. Opposite her were Mansi and her sister and as usual, they ignored her and focused on their food.Madame Nadie smiled looking at Kaylan as she took the first taste of her meal. "Hope you like the food princess Kaylan?" She asked.Kaylan smiled and nodded. "Yes ma'am. Thank you." She replied and looked around, noticing Lord Xander was the only one missing at the table. She looked at Madame Nadie. "Where's Lord Xander? Has he gone out?"Madame Nadie sighed and shook her head. "He is upstairs in his room. He has refused to come down.""Really? Oh." Kaylan mumbled and continued eating. She cleared her throat and looked at Madame Nadie. "Can you help me tell one of the maids to arrange a table set for me? I want to take it to Lord Xander up stairs." Kaylan said and everyone turned to look at her.Madame Nadie looked a little amazed at a courage. She nodded an
