NOON★QUEEN SOFIA’S SUITE**
Amara entered and queen Sofia welcomed her with a smile
“Good afternoon your highness” Amara bowed
“Finally you’re here,I’ve been expecting you since I got the message that you will be coming” Queen Sofia said
“I’m sorry for keeping you waiting my queen” Amara smiled
“You may sit”
Amara bowed shortly and sat down
“I’m just here to say hello my queen and I brought you a gift” Amara said
“Wow,really??”
“Yes my queen….come in!!” Amara said loudly and immediately three maids came in each holding a box in their hands
They bowed their heads and started dropping the boxes
“Please accept my little gift my queen,I really appreciate the invitation,it’s an honor” Amara said and Queen Sofia smiled
A guard suddenly entered
“My queen,the prince is here” He said
“Oh…let him in” Queen Sofia replied
The guard bowed again and went out,soon Prince Liam came in and Amara’s eyes widened
“Liam?” She called still looking surprised
“Amara” Liam muttered
“Oh,you two know each other?” Queen Sofia asked
“Yes….”
“No..”
Liam and Amara answered simultaneously and Liam looked at her,she rolled her eyes at him and turned back to the queen
Liam sighed and sat down
“Get us a drink” Queen Sofia ordered a maid
“Yes my queen” she bowed.
Amara kept avoiding Liam gazes as they all talked
ONE HOUR LATER**
“Amara wait!” Liam ran after her but she ignored him and kept on walking
Liam caught up with her and grabbed her hand
“Leave me alone you liar!!” She yelled angrily
“Amara….”
“Don’t call my name!” She yelled again
“I’m sorry Amara…..”
“Sorry?? Everything was a f-__-king Lie,you’ve been lying to me since the day we met Liam,you never told me you are a prince!” Amara snapped
“I was planning to tell you during the ball…..”
“Shut up and never show up in front of me again you liar” she said and turned to go
Liam grabbed her hand again
“Look Amara,I never meant to lie to you okay?? I just wanted you to be free with me,I know I might not get close to you if you knew I was a prince,I just wanted us to be friends rather than you giving me some silly respects I’m used to,I love how you’re free with me….”
“You should have at least told me the truth Liam,you made me believe your fake identity….you know what? Just let me go” She muttered and throw his hand off before walking away,her maids followed her
Liam sighed and rough his hair
“Wow,so it’s Lady Amara? Such a good taste” Lisa appeared beside him
“I know right? She got me,for real” Liam muttered
“Pervert” Lisa said and Liam chuckled
“Don’t worry,she will come around. She’s the second sweetest lady I know aside my Adelaide,so be calm and don’t give up” Lisa said
“I shouldn’t have lied and hide my identity” Liam murmured
“Wanna grab a drink with me?? To make you feel better” Lisa said
“Maybe I should” Liam said and Lisa grabbed his hand as they walked away

EVENING**
Queen Sofia walked toward the King’s chamber with her maids behind her,she was planning to talk to him since it’s being a while.
“Good evening queen mother” the guards all chorused with a bow
“Is the king inside?” Queen Sofia asked
“No,he’s not back in the palace” One of the guards answered
“Then I will wait for him” Queen Sofia said and the guards bowed again watching as she entered while her maids waited behind
“My King………….” Adelaide stopped when she turned only to find queen Sofia
‘Not again,first it was the mistress and now the queen?’ She said in her head
Queen Sofia immediately let out a frown as soon as she saw her,she stared at her from her head down to her legs
She wasn’t putting on the maids uniform,her long hair wasn’t tied as usual,she was looking like a total different person
“Good Evening my……..” Adelaide stopped when she remembered how Queen Sofia told her to stop calling her “my queen”
“Good Evening your highness” She muttered with a bow
“And why are you here In the King’s chamber dressed like that?” Queen Sofia asked
Adelaide bite her lips looking for the right answer,her heart began to race. What will she say? What if she order the guards to punish her again??
“Answer me!!! Who are you to my son!!” Queen Sofia yelled
“I’m his……”
“Mother” King Lucian entered interrupting Adelaide
Queen Sofia faced him angrily
“Can you at least tell me what’s going on?? Who is she to you??” She asked
Lucian and Adelaide exchanged glances and Adelaide wouldn’t deny the fact that she really wanted to hear what she is to the king,she was curious to know what she really meant to him.
To her surprise,king Lucian moved closer to her and held her hand
Queen Sofia raised her brows
“Why….why are you holding her??” She asked
“Because I’m in love with her” Lucian replied and Adelaide was shocked
“What?! In love with a….”
“Don’t finish it mother because starting from today…she’s no more a maid but the King’s woman” King Lucian said and Queen Sofia’s eyes widened
Adelaide gasped and King Lucian smiled at her before kissing the back of her hand
Maltida who was evesdropping by the door started gasping for breath
“Someone hold the mistress!!!!!” A guard screamed
