"I'm sorry about my sister," Amanda said as she rode the horse with Illarion to the capital. "I didn't think she would act like that."Again Amanda felt guilty for lying to Illarion Black. She knew that Gisella would go that far, but her stepsister's treatment left Amanda in deep fear, so she didn't dare to oppose it. However, the Black Prince's treatment of Gisella some time ago was enough to help Amanda reduce her fear of the girl with the copper-colored hair.Illarion responded with silence. 'Not expect? That 'your sister' is really weird if you can't guess her behavior. And who can believe such cradle-like words? But why would I want to accept this lie, as if this girl's words were true… What's wrong with you Illarion?'"Let's just say that my pain was even with your help yesterday," Illarion replied after a moment of silence."Y-are you hurt, sir?" Amanda asked, not believing the Black Prince could feel that because of Gisella's actions."Why?" asked Illarion back. "You think I'm

Dinner time arrived, and the Black Prince and Queen Zaina walked together towards the dining room. Although the guards and servants looked at them as if amazed, the figure of Queen Zaina was very suitable side by side with the Black Prince. Queen Zaina has a tall physique for a woman, with such a slender body she is right under the Black Prince's chin, making them physically destined for each other. Just like the pair of gods from the Greek temple.Amanda was standing a few steps away from the Black Prince and Queen Zaina. Her heart was sliced bitterly when some of the servants he heard talked about the two people."Ah how fitting.""What a perfect match, they are like destined to be together.""I hope they end up together, I heard that Queen Zaina proposed to the Lord openly during His Majesty's birthday."Amanda exhaled, but her chest still felt tight."What do you think? really fits right?" asked a man who suddenly stood behind Amanda.The girl jumped in surprise. "P-prince Apollo.

"So it's just a mere agreement," Queen Zaina muttered as she rolled her eyes at Amanda. Again the girl hastily looked down.Who knows how often Amanda was caught by Queen Zaina's eyes, staring at the dark-haired man when Illarion didn't see her.When morning came, as usual, Amanda headed to the pavilion of the northern garden of the Black Palace to have breakfast together."Amanda!" said Apollo warmly. Only the man was alone, standing with his arms waving. Food was served and still warm.Catching the confused look on Amanda's face, Apollo immediately explained. "Black Prince and Queen Zaina were asked to go to the main palace, to meet His Majesty the King.""Oh ..." Amanda replied curtly."Looks like His Majesty the King will agree to Queen Zaina's request, they're a perfect match right?"Amanda coughed briefly, then nodded. 'Of course, it's only a matter of time. Why should I be surprised.'"Do I need to ask the same thing?" asked Apollo, cupping his hands over Amanda's.Immediately

"Excuse me," said Amanda and stood awkwardly. 'Why am I sitting here anyway.'"Where do you want to go?" asked Illarion. 'Isn't she offended? '"Eat, can I, Master?" Amanda wasn't hungry, but she knew someone was uncomfortable with her presence. Just imagine, she has felt this almost all her life. Amanda is very sensitive. 'And the angel sneered at me openly, Mr. Handsome, and I can't sit here.''She really can't be mad?' Illarion saw Amanda laughing awkwardly. "Sit here, I'll ask the maid to bring you some food," the Black Prince ordered to the silver-haired girl who was now looking down at the pink shoes she was wearing."No, you don't have to, Master! Let me go," interrupted Amanda. 'Gosh it's getting gloomy, and this guy is forcing me to eat here? Didn't he see the blonde haired angel's gaze, which looked very scary but still beautiful?'"What do you want to eat?" asked Illarion, which made Queen Zaina and Prince Apollo stare at each other because of the 'strange' incident in fron

"Amanda!" called Queen Zaina while walking gracefully toward the snow-white-skinned girl. "You were asked to go to the main palace, His Majesty the King wants to see you.""Me?" Amanda asked as she looked up at Queen Zaina, who was much taller than her. 'What is it? Apart from the introduction after yesterday's wedding, I was never asked to meet His Majesty the King. '"Shall we go together? The carriage is ready. I also asked to go to the main palace."Amanda nodded and walked behind Queen Zaina because the woman immediately turned away from her.Arriving at the main palace Queen Zaina stepped first, making Amanda walk behind her. "Black Prince's wife is just like Queen Zaina's servant," whispered a maid to her friend and ended with a giggle. "I think she knows her place, their divorce is also a matter of time.""Queen Zaina, you have been awaited in His Majesty's treatment room," said the personal servant of the Anarka ruler, bowing respectfully. The maid's brows furrowed, "Mrs. Wh
