Even at her psycho condition, she still haven’t stopped from making him smile.
Somehow, he was beginning to love her current self than her other self.
And for the rest of the day, whenever he remembers the incident at the garden, he’d smile.
He went ahead to meet the physician who was preparing Theodora’s medicine.
“I think maybe we should skip tonight’s medication for tomorrow.”
” But sire, if we skip tonight’s medication, it will delay her cure. We have to be fervent with this if we really want Her majesty back.”
” Well, right now, I want her the way she is for tonight. Preserve the medication for tomorrow.”
” Yes, sire.”
Later that night, he went to Sophie’s room. She was laying almost half naked on her bed, like she was expecting someone.
She looked away as he stood by the door. “May I come in?” He asked.
“Wh@ťěver.” She scoffed.
He walked in, smiling. “What took you so long?” She asked. “I was wondering if you’ve decided to leave the crown with me.”
“I h@ťě to have an official night and get disturbed. I just love a straight forward s*x.”
Sophie blushed. ” Then let’s get this done with once and for all.” She stepped out of the bed, completely taking off her dress.
And she was standing naked before him.
He bit his lower lip, smirking evilly as he ran his gaze on her.
As he came close to her, almost having a grab on her butt, there came a knock on the door.
“Who is that?” He asked.
“I’m sorry sire, but we’ve got a problem now.” Said the voice from the outside.
” That will do later.” He said, returning his gaze back to her.
She folded her arms around his neck, their lips inches close. The voice said again.
” Sire, it’s urgent.”
” Aren’t you hearing, that should do later.” She sparked.
” I’m sorry. The physician said you must hear it, it’s concerning the girl.”
” What girl?” She asked, looking into his eyes.
” Just a normal girl I saved from the village. I think she needs my attention. I’ll be back for this soon, don’t put on your dress.” He kissed her lips. ” I promise.”
” What happened to the girl?” He asked as soon as they were steps away from Sophie’s room.
” Nothing, sire. I thought you might need some backup on that so,” referring to the incident in Sophie’s room. “I… Uhmm… she’s actually asleep right now.”
Raymond smiled. ” I wasn’t planning on f_cking her. But well, you really did a good job.” Taps his shoulder. ” I need you to meet the blacksmith, tell him I need a new crown before sun rise.”
“What are you going to do about her?” He asked.
Raymond shrugged. ” Don’t worry about her.”
His guard took a different direction which led outside the castle. He went to meet with the blacksmith to pass the message.
“His majesty requests for a new crown before sunrise.” He informed.
“I will start the preparation as soon as possible.” He bowed.

The following morning, the physician didn’t hesitate for Theodora’s medication. He made sure she had taken it before anything else.
Though she was beginning to talk a little bit senseful, but should that be a relief yet?
“My Lady, can you hear me?” He asked.
“Of course, I can hear you. I ain’t deaf, okay?” She snapped.
” Oh, okay. I’ll go order for your breakfast.”
She looked at him but said nothing.
He left, to meet Raymond who has been waiting outside the door.
“How is she?” he asked.
“Much better than before.”
He nods his head.
“You can go see her if you want.”
” No. Get her something to eat.” He left to his room.
The physician went to inform Holland of Theodora’s breakfast. Holland went to the kitchen to get her meal.
When she entered, Theodora looked at her and smiled. She didn’t smile back, it wasn’t necessary doing so with someone who doesn’t recognizes her.
“You breakfast is ready.” She informed, dropping it on the table. “Would you mind eating on the bed?”
Theodora was still glaring at her but didn’t say a word. ” Great, now I am talking to myself.” She walks to her, squatting. “Can you at least say or do something? You’re making me look like a fool with all this attitudes.”
Theodora smiled.
She stood up, “Just wh@ťěver.” She took the tray of food, dropping it on the bed. “I’ll be back when you’re done eating.”
She held the door handle, about to open the door when Theodora called her name. “Holland.”
She was shocked, she paused. “Did you just…” turns to her. “Did you just call my name?”
She rushed to her side, squatting again. “You remember my name, don’t you?”
She touched her cheek. “Of course, I do.”
“Oh please don’t tell me it’s the Holland who poisoned your food.” She grunts.
Theodora smiled at her. She shook her head. ” I wasn’t gonna mention that. I remember you now, you were my maid.”
Holland exclaimed happily. ” Yes, you remember me! You remember my name!!” She jubilated. “What else do you remember?”
” I remember getting married to Kaleb. I remember sharing some good times with him until then, Sophie and Caro ended it with witchcraft. And I also remembered getting locked up in the dungeon.”
” How long did you remembered this?” Holland asked.
“I had this vision last night where all this kept moving in my head repeatedly. But, I still feel like I am forgetting something.” She said, rubbing her forehead.
” Some thing like what?”
“I don’t know. Since I woke up, I’ve been trying hard to remember but… I just can’t figure it out. But, I know it’s something important.”
” Theodora, I wanna tell you something.”
” What’s that?” She asked.
” Kaleb… he is dead.”
Theodora was still. ” I wanted to tell you this but… back then you were out of your mind.”
” Where is his body? I have to see him.”
” I don’t think it’s possible.”
” Why would you say that? Sophie gave the goddamn rules?” She sparked.
” No, King Raymond did.”
” Who’s Raymond?” She asked, making a confused face.
“Oh no. Don’t tell me this is the most important part you’re forgetting.”
” What are you talking about? What important part?”
” The part where you’re forgetting about the one person who owns you. Who has always been in control of your mind. Don’t tell me you don’t remember the cursed beast from century ago. The one said to be locked up underneath the mountain Everest.”
Theodora shook her head. ” I don’t remember that.”
” Oh come on, you have to.” She grunted. ” Wh@ťěver, we’ll work on that later but right now, why don’t we take you to your late husband?”
