Hilda walked in with Lord Lorenzo's meal in a tray, her head bowed and her systems trying so hard to hide her anxiety.Her hands were nearly shaking."G… Good morning, My Lord" she greeted with a bow.But Lorenzo didn't turn to look at her as he just fixed his gaze into space."I'm not eating, Hilda" he suddenly said, making her heart skip two beats.What??"M… My Lord, I don't understand' she stuttered and gulped hard. "I thought you were going for a fight? You need to have some…""Just make me some tea, Hilda" he cut her off, calmly tho. "Some tea and I'll be fine".Hilda exhaled deeply. "As you wish, My Lord" she bowed and left the room with the tray.*Carlotta sat quietly on the bed, her hand on her jaw, looking like one in deep thoughts.Ginevra entered not long after with some cake for breakfast."Here". I'm so sure you'll love these"

"Are you sure I'm looking good enough?" Ginevra asked Carlotta as she twirled herself in front of the mirror."Stop being impossible, Ginevra. We're only going there to watch a fight. Oh… Forgive my manners; I actually forgot you're single and you're probably looking out for a husband" Carlotta teased, earning a glare from Ginevra as they left the room."Do we make use of a horse?" Ginevra asked as they walked outside."Of course not, I don't even know how to use a horse. Besides, using a horse right now would create too much suspicions from the guards and I don't want that. So, we'll just get a ride outside." Carlotta replied.They walked out of the gate, strolled down to the market side and there they were able to get a local carriage to ride them to the venue.*Lord Lorenzo stepped out of his carriage, his sheath in his left hand, and Liam behind him.From where he stood, he could clearly see the arena - a lot of people wer

Carlotta sobbed on the unconscious body on the floor, holding him tight. She didn't exactly know what she was doing and wasn't thinking straight. But, the moment she'd seen Lord Lorenzo reach the floor, she couldn't get a grip of herself and had to rush in.Prince Aiken was disturbed, the murmurings from the crowd getting louder and louder."Get away, Princess" Aiken gritted, his sword still held up high. "Because you're no friend of mine. I'll slash the sword through your neck, just to get to him"."He was poisoned!!!" Carlotta yelled out - tearfully."SOMEONE POISONED HIM!! Someone who wanted him to lose this fight".She could see the twitch in Aiken's eyes. The coordinator was already getting closer."Hey! What's going on??" He demanded."Step aside, Princess! You won't be spared!"More hefty men were already trooping in, and Liam didn't hesitate to seize the opportunity by jumping in as well."He was Poi

The woman in the room with Ginevra, stood up immediately."I'm so sorry dear, but you need to leave now. I think you're better. Besides, when you get home, you can get yourself a better physician, Okay?" She stated calmly, and Ginevra just nodded as she stood up, wondering why her mother had been so hard on her."Thank you for your help. I really appreciate" she said."You're welcome. Um, hold on".The woman rushed to her bag and returned with some coins."You should use this for your transportation because I'm not so sure you're having one with you".Ginevra was surprised. Was that harsh woman really her mother!??"Thank you so much. I… I don't even know how to thank you enough" she expressed."Well, you don't really have to. I just hope you don't get into more trouble. You should leave now. I'll take you to a place where you can find a ride".She opened the door and led her out of the snug little house.T

Lorenzo stopped writing and leaned back on his chair, gaining Carlotta's gaze on him.She noticed the displeasure on his face as he stretched out his wounded arm to reach for a scroll."Please, take a seat, Princess" he stated effortlessly and Carlotta looked around for the nearest seat.She found one right behind her and took it, sitting like a humble lady.Lord Lorenzo went cold for a second as he started unfolding the scroll."Liam told me you were the first to know about the poison" he began, his eyes on the scroll he was rolling."How did that happen?"Woah…Carlotta itched the back of her neck."Well…" She hesitated a little."I had come into your room to get my hair pin and Ginevra saw the tea on the table and took a taste from it. She didn't mean to be intruding, you know? She just wanted to have a taste of it. So, on our way to watch the fight, she passed out in the carriage and one of the p
