~ Mia ~ 
Hazel, Jabrel, Anisel, Matthew, and I were playing board games in the living area. “You are cheating!” Hazel said as she punched him gently. 
“No, I am not. I swear you owe me money for landing on my square.” He grinned. 
“How? When did you own it?” 
Those two began to fuss about the stupid square. As for me, I was counting money until something covered it. Anisel’s hand pressed against mine and revealed a note. I knew Matthew had seen it because his expression said it all. He got up from his chair and accused Anisel of being sneaky, which he was right. Anisel rolled his eyes and said he didn't know what it said. It could be about his zipper that keeps falling. 
Matthew’s face turned red with embarrassment, and he quickly zips it back up. He crossed his arms and pouted. These past few days have been insane as they became more competitive. But I know who I want; I hope my parents pick right. The game was nearly over, and I had run out of money. So, I waited for the others to f

“TREASON!! She should be exiled or executed!!” Hamon shouted. I stood up from my chair, almost hitting Mikhal in the process.“You have no right to give orders, Hamon. I am the one that is doing this and not you! So hold your tongue for whom you speak!” I shouted back. Hamon gave me a terrifying expression. It is rare for us to fight, but when we do, everyone better hide. I fixed my shirt and sat back in my chair.Hazel will be sentenced for treason by what counted– I don't know. I tapped my chin, thinking of a way to deal with this. “Mi— I mean, your highness, I will do anything to protect you. It is hard to control your feelings as they keep going up. I should have told you about it, but I didn’t want to lose him. Joshua means the world to me. I have never been happier. You know that feeling when you do anything for love?”Water appeared in my eyes; I wiped them quickly. I peered at Anisel, whose eyes never left my sight. Hamon calmed down before talking once more. “I know you, Mia.

~ Anisel ~Later that night, I lay on the ground against the wall. Glancing around the cell, I heard footsteps coming my way. Side eyeing the door as a figure appeared in my sight. My mind immediately knew who it was. “Mia, you are not supposed to be here. Why are you here?” I said in a soft tone.“I sneaked past my servants to come and see you. Plus, I couldn’t sleep.”“This is a first. I am the one who always sees you.” I wanted to chuckle but couldn’t.She takes a wooden chair and places it in front of the cell door. Her facial expression was serious as she looked at me with dead eyes. “Why didn’t you tell me? You knew I had the regret, and yet you said nothing. I should have known it was you? Everything you said makes perfect sense. That trailer–”I wanted to tell her the truth, but I didn't know how to and when. I didn't want to break what we created. I didn't want any of this to happen. Everything I told her was the truth, and my feelings were real. I was scared of her reaction.

I was thrilled when Jabrel told me he was going to save them. My mother has no right to go behind my back to do something so devilish. Now I know this isn’t for me; it’s for my mom and what she wanted. One day out of the week, my brother and I met at the throne room alone. Our parents were out on a business trip.“The two haven’t been executed yet, which is good. However, she wants the whole kingdom to see their deaths. So, she planned it for the day after your wedding. Who knew they were this cruel??” Jabrel said.“Only our mother as father goes along with what she says. We need to put a stop to this. They don't deserve this punishment.” Tears flowed down my eyes. Jabrel patted me on the back for comfort. I don’t want to marry someone I don’t love anymore. If I marry him, it would be like a prison I can never escape.Someone came through the doors as we talked– it was Matthew, of course. What is the problem?? I ordered him to leave as he cannot enter the room. However, he stated that

~ Anisel ~I was thrilled to see Lily standing in front of us. She made sure we knew the plan and if we were aboard. Shit!! Better than sitting in this cell to rot. I got to thank Mia after this because this was her doing. The princess got everyone acting like they did not see anything. The guards are working under our command, and everyone who the Queen worked for. If that’s not a leader, then I don’t know what is.During the night, Hazel snuck in to see her boyfriend. I never saw him so excited since we were thrown in here. She explained that this plan needs to be executed perfectly. Not everyone outside the kingdom is on our side; we can not fuck this up. Once this is set, it is up to me to stop the wedding in time. However, I do not know how to do that.We have two days to get shit done. “You have to intervene at the right time, or it will be over. Mia is doing everything she can to keep you alive. But she can't end this wedding by herself, take that power and expel it.” Lily said
