★[CRAZY LIA]★
“You are too useless I don’t see any reason in keeping you alive I want to k*ll you, I want to s**k on your blood so, when you get to h*ll say hello to your dead parent!”Vivian shouted, and continue chocking her while Amelia try very hard to free herself. But, the more she struggle, the more she become weak.
“Vivian stop!”She shouted.
“Stop what? How dare you discard my orders? Like I said, I don’t want to keep you alive…”Vivian was cut off when Ellie screamed.
She slowly remove her hand which was around Amelia’s neck.
“What is happening? Vivian what are you doing?”Ellie mumbled, and use her palm to cover her mouth.
“Ellie is not what you are thinking, you misunderstood the whole thing….we are just playing right Amelia?”Vivian smiled.
“Ellie, let’s go and inform lady Sadie about this. Vivian tried to ki|| me when you left, I don’t know what can happen if we sleep in the same room tonight. You will serve as a witness”Amelia spoke, and stood up from the bed.
Ellie and Amelia walked out of the room before Vivian could talk.
“Gosh! What do I do?”She muttered, she fold her fist angrily before returning to her bed.
“The least lady Sadie can do is to separate us, but what she did not understand is that, we can never be separated, we are meant to be”Vivian laughed.

“Are you sure about what you are saying?”Sadie asked, raising her voice a little bit.
“I’m very sure of what I saw”Ellie said with a shaky voice.
“As you can see, all the maids are asleep and I don’t think I can wake them up because of you. Maybe you should solve your problem. Then, I will help you find another roommate tomorrow”Sadie said without any sympathy.
Ellie and Amelia bowed before walking away, they stop when Ellie want to go to her room.
“Are you sure you will be fine?”Ellie asked.
“Yes, I will be fine, go inside. It is cold outside”Amelia smiled.
Ellie nodded and enter the room, she saw Vivian sitting on the bed, glaring dangerously at her but she ignored her and sat on her bed, she prayed before sleeping properly.
Vivian stood up from her bed and started walking toward her, but she stop when she felt a sharp pain in her chest.
“Don’t you ever think of hurting me coz you will end up suffering..”Ellie smirked, and Vivian return to her bed angrily.

<KING VEAL CHAMBER>
Veal couldn’t sleep no matter how hard he tried, he remove his duvet angrily and stood up from the bed, he step outside, and he smile at the beautiful stars in the sky.
“My mother is up there”He giggled happily, he started walking around the clan alone since the guards are asleep coz it is so late at night.
Besides, the guards follow him around just to satisfy everyone they knew he can protect himself.
“Woah, this is so thrilling”He gushed, his smile slowly turn into a frown when he saw Amelia from afar, though, she is facing the left side but Veal still recognize her.
He increase his pace as he walk to towards her.
“Amelia”He jolted her out of her thoughts.
She swiftly turn to him and her face which is decorated with tears make Veal sit beside her on the bench.
“Why are you crying? What happened? Who hurt you?”Veal asked and touch her fore head.
“I’m fine, you don’t need to be worried about me”She assured with a forced smile.
“Where is lady Sadie? Why didn’t you go to your room? What of your roommates?”Veal rush his questions
“I said I’m fine….”
“That’s what you’ve been saying but your face show you are lying. How can you be fine and crying? Does that make any sense to you? The best thing you can do to help yourself is to tell me what is wrong with you”Veal snapped.
“Can you do me a favour?”She sniffed.
“What is it?”
“Can I sleep in your chamber tonight, just for tonight, I will wake up early and leave . And I promise not to tell anyone just give me the permission to sleep in your chamber tonight”She begged.
“What happened to your room? I won’t allow you into my chamber if you don’t tell me the reason why you left your room”Veal roll his eyes.
“I had an argument with my friends”She replied bitting her finger.
“So, you were crying because you had an argument with your friends? You left the room because you had an argument? Now tell me, what is the cause of your dispute?”He asked with a crazy smile.
“We didn’t fight, I lied but I promise to tell you what really happened tomorrow. I’m feeling sleepy”She yawned.
Veal eventually took her to his chamber, thanks to the guards sleeping no one is able to see them.

<NEXT DAY>
<LYLA CHAMBER>
“What are you doing?”Lima asked Lyla who is busy checking out a dress
“Have you forgotten that prince Ivan is coming today?”Lyla roll her eyes.
“Really? Why is he coming?”Asked Lima.
“I don’t know, I just overheard one of the guards speaking to Veal”Lyla replied.
“You may be punish for not adding King to Veal’s name”Lima mocked.
“He is my younger brother, I can add King to his name when we are outside”Lyla laughed.
“Do you like Veal as the king? You don’t feel uncomfortable?”Lima asked intentionally.
“For me, I don’t care about whoever become the king as long as the person perform his duty like our king Veal”Lyla winked.
“So, you admit Veal is a good king?”Lima eyes widened.
“Yes he is”
“I thought I was the only one that know that, he rule as if he is older, only those that are close to him will know that he is young. He is one of the best king I have seen”Lima smiled and stood up from her bed.
“I need to go to my chamber to prepare”She smiled and made to walk away but Lyla hold her arm.
“You want to go and prepare? Why?”Lyla raise her eyebrows while Lima blink her eyes lashes repeatedly.
“Oh, I want to go and prepare myself for bath”She lied.
“Oh”They both laughed.
Lima sighed when she left Lyla chamber, she started having strange feelings and the strange feelings is that, she always feel angry or jealous whenever Lyla talk about Ivan, she is sure she can never fall in love with someone like Ivan but she couldn’t figure out the reason why her anger increase anytime Lyla talk about Ivan.
She get to her chamber, her helping maids are already there.
“Here is your blue…”
“I want my dress to be colour black, anything apart from colour black should be trash”She snapped and they quickly rush to her closet to find a black outfit.
Luckily for them, they found one and they didn’t hesitate to show it to her.
“I want something uglier and darker”Lima snapped.
They finally find a very dark dress which Lima agreed to wear.
She had her bath and use her body cream, lotion and so on.
She wore her black dress and match it up with a black shoe then black bangles and chain.
She smirked and walk out of her chamber, she started walking towards the palace but she stop when she heard a familiar voice.
“Looking for me?”Ivan asked from behind.
“Prince Ivan? Why are you here?”Lima asked shocking the h*ll out of him.
“What happened to the untrained princess?”He asked with a scoff.
“I decide to change the way I talk to you”She roll her eyes.
“Well, I prefer the untrained princess style”He whispered.
“Anything for the dumbest prince on earth”Lima smiled.
“I wonder why this untrained princess dressed as if she is mourning someone”Ivan shook his head.
“I’m mourning you in advance”She chuckled.
“Mourning in advance?”
“A seer told me, there is high possibility that you can die before tomorrow”She replied nonchalantly.
“Me? Die? Are you out of your mind”Ivan rush his questions.
“You asked me why I wore a black dress”She roll her eyes again.
“You don’t say anything about my black shoes”He suddenly smile which make Lima wonder what he is up to.
“Why are you wearing that?”She asked calmly.
“My priest told me my untrained princess can die before tomorrow. I’m not here to see King Veal, I’m here to see you and say my last goodbye”He bowed dramatically.
“What? That is impossible! You are just trying to get back at me right? You don’t mean it right?”Lima rush her questions.
Ivan was about replying when Lyla appeared.
“I don’t want to believe that you two are throwing shades at each other again”Lyla fold her arm under her B-__-bs.
“No, I’m a changed person now”Ivan smiled and Lima widened her eyes.

Ronea is busy styling her hair when she felt a presence in her room.
She was about screaming when she heard his voice.
“I told you not to pack it like this, you should pack it this way”Archer smiled and collet her ribbon.
He smiled when he finish packing her hair
“I’m sorry for what happened the other day, you can punish me if you want”He bowed.
“Raise your head”Ronea commanded.
She did not wait for another second before smacking his head but she was surprised when Archer act like nothing happened.
“You did not feel any pain on your forehead?”She asked with a frown.
“It doesn’t hurt at all. Do you want me to show you how to smack someone?”He asked with a wink.
“I’m not interested”She roll her eyes.
“Really?”
“How is life without me?”Ronea asked with a smile.
“When did you decide to cover your ugly face with a smile?”Archer whispered.
“Since you apologize to me”She replied, Archer grab her hand and started walking towards the door.
“Where are we going?”She snapped.
“Somewhere”He winked.
They walk for few minutes but they stop when they get to the clan training field.
“Master Archer! Good morning!”The trainees chorused in a thick and horrible voice.
“Arrrrrrrrghhhh”Ronea screamed and stay behind Archer.
“Why did you bring me here? What are we doing here?”She yelled.
“What? You don’t like it here? Why?”Archer pouted.
“No I h@?? it”She snapped
“Then watch me”Archer smiled and walk to one of the guards, he collect his sword and started showing some moves which make Ronea smile in delight.

<KING VEAL CHAMBER>
Amelia is the first person to wake up and that is because, Veal insist on sleeping on the mat while he coerce her to sleep on the bed.
“My…”The remaining word got stuck at Amelia throat when she saw Veal shaking .
She jump from the bed and assist him in standing up, she pull him on the bed and lay him down properly.
“I told you to sleep on your bed! But you refuse gosh! Your temperature is too high”She rough her hair
“You don’t… Need to…be… worried ano..”Veal manage to speak.
“Do you know you can heal him?”Annie asked from behind.
“Annie please help me, I don’t want the guards to find out about this, and I don’t know what to do, I will be glad if you can just help me”She begged with a shaky voice.
“You don’t need to be sacred Amelia, You can heal him, place your palm on his forehead and say “heal” three times”Annie said and vanished.
Veal wanted to ask questions but he is too weak to open his mouth not to talk of asking questions.
Amelia place her hand on his forehead
“Heal, heal, heal, heal right now”She started crying
Veal suddenly feel strong, his weak body become energetic all of a sudden, he romove Amelia hand from his forehead and pull her into a high hug
Amelia eyes widened in shock, she did not bother pushing him away, she allow him to feel her warmth. Veal disembark from the hug and cupped her face in his palm.
“When did you start talking to yourself? When did you start going crazy?”He asked
“My…”
“Lia don’t lie to me again, when did you start going crazy?”He snapped
