“You have never visit me in my chamber, I think there is something wrong”Zuriel started with a smile.
“Yes, there is something wrong with me! I’m not feeling okay. King Veal doesn’t take me as his future wife, he doesn’t think of me as a woman”She explained tearfully.
“How can that happen when we are already preparing for the weeding?”Zuriel snapped.
“You should ask him that”Yara roll her eyes.
“You don’t need to be sad because of that, I will go to Hera and report to her”Zuriel assured.
“Please do something about it”She pleaded.

“Of course, we already planned that the both of you will get married next month and I have been contacting the best dress sewer in the village”She smiled.

“We did not find her”One of the guard that went to search for Vivian reported.
“How did she escape?”Veal asked.
“We suddenly fell asleep and when we woke up we couldn’t find her in the prison. It looks like she use dark power on us”He replied.
“You can go and stay with the remaining criminals, don’t sleep off this time”He warned and they bowed before matching out of the palace.
“Your majesty”Hera greeted with a smile as she entered the palace.
“Mother”Veal giggled happily.
“You are a king, remember”Hera joked and they laughed.
“Why are you here?”He asked.
Hera smiled and walk closer to him, she place her hand on his shoulder and he face her trying to read her facial expression and he could see she is worried about something.
“Don’t you love Yara?”Hera asked and he chuckled.
“So, that is why you are worried?”Veal roll his eyes.
“Of course, I don’t know why you don’t want to marry her, you are the first king that is still single at the age of 25! You are getting older and not younger, you need to get yourself a wife and have children with her”She advised.
“I’m in love with another person”He said in a whisper.
“Who?”She asked.
“Lia”He smiled and Hera move away from him sharply.
“What do you think you are doing? What are you doing? You are in love with a maid? C’mon, you know the villagers and your siblings won’t allow that. Even if I support you the people that will oppose are many. Just forget about her and marry Yara”She snapped.
“But, I’m the king and I have the right to do anything I like”He bragged.
“Are you really sure you want to spend the rest of your life with the person that lied against you nine years ago? She ruined your reputation then! She made everyone think you are a bad person”Hera remainded.
“I will see you in your chamber tonight”He smiled and Hera sighed before walking away.

“Lima, what you did is crazy”Ivan snapped.
“I know you said that because you don’t know the kind of person Lyla is. I’m glad I made you mention my name”She stuck her tongue at him.
“So, how are you going to calm her down coz shs is hurt right now, she is so sad”He snapped.
“What if I tell you that she have no feelings for you”Lima smiled.
“Are you going crazy?”He snapped.
“When are we going to your clan, tomorrow is the deadline”She reminded, that was when he remembered that his father said he should bring his wife before next week.
“It is complicated, I don’t even know what to do! I’m confused”He complained.
“What are you going to tell your mother?”He added.
“I will tell her that I will be getting married to the dumbest prince on earth”She replied and Ivan glared at her.
“I’m the crown prince…”
“Don’t start”Lima warned and they laughed.
Ronea who is watching them smiled, she have been hoping Lima and Ivan get married and her wish later come true.
“What are you staring at with that beautiful smile?”Archer asked from behind.
“You sacred me”Ronea flinched.
“They look so cute”She said, referring to Ivan and Lima who were busy pointing fingers at each other.
“I still don’t know why they love arguing”Archer shook his head.

The maids gather in the filed and Sadie stood at the front of them, Instructing them on the new way to serve the royal family tea.
“Are you dumb? How many times did I tell you not to bend your finger?”Sadie snapped at a maid who keep on making mistake.
“I wonder how you manage to serve the king since Amelia left”Sadie added.
“I’m so sorry my lady”She bowed and repeat the steps, as expected; she made another mistake.
“Stand up and leave. I need another maid that will repeat the process I just taught you”She ordered and the lady return to the queue.
“I will do it”Karen smiled as she walk forward.
“Okay….who….oh…Karen”Sadie stammered, she have never seen her before which makes her surprise but the most surprising thing is that, she suddenly remember her name.
Karen started serving the tea just as Sadie taught them and she did it perfectly
“Wow, I never knew someone with a little sense is among the maids. You will see start serving the king now”She announced.
Karen release a smirk when she bow her head.
“Thank you my lady”She appreciates.
“Go and carry his majesty dinner”Sadie instructed and Karen walk to the table and carry the big tray which contain different kind of dish.
She walk out of the filed heading to Veal chamber.
“Who are you?”A guard questioned.
“I’m the new maid, I’m here with his majesty lunch”Karen smiled and they search her body before allowing her in.
“Your highness”She bowed and drop the tray on the table.
As usual, Veal is busy drawing.
“You are the new maid?”He asked without raising his head.
“That is right your majesty. How did you know am not the serving you before when you did not even take a look at me?”Karen chuckled.
“Are you done serving?”Veal ignored her friendly voice and question.
Karen glared at him secretly and started serving the food on the table.
“I’m done”She bowed, that was when Veal raise his head and glance at her.
Karen smirked, thinking he cannot control himself because he find her attractive.
“Why do you have powder on your head?”He suddenly asked and she choke on nothing.
“Powder?”She asked dumbfully.
Veal ignored her and move his gaze to his food which is perfectly served on the table, he rinse his hands and started eating with his cutleries.
Meanwhile, Karen couldn’t stop bitting her lips in embarrassment. She wants him to fall for her to get Amelia but the opposite of her thoughts is happening. Infact, she have lose hope in him coz the way he stared at her is too cold and she appeared at his front with powder on her head. It is a big turn off’ She thought as she stared at him eating slowly and peacefully.
“Do you enjoy the meal? I made it myself”Karen laughed, after Veal finish the food.
“The salt in the porridge is too much, reduce it next time. The tea is tasteless, add more sugar next time”Veal replied and stood up from his chair before walking to the inner room without spearing Karen another glance.
“What?”Karen fold her fist angrily, she carry the tray of the food and storm out of Veal chamber.
Yara entered minutes after Karen left.
“Your highness”She greeted and Veal came out of his inner room.
“Why are you here?”He asked.
“Our marriage will take place next month”She bowed with a smile.
“Okay”Veal replied.
“Is that all you are going to say? Why don’t you love me even when I give you everything I have?”Yara asked tearfully.
“What are the things you gave me?”Veal asked with an innocent look on his face.
Yara bite lips so hard, trying not to say anything crazy to him.
“Whether you like it or not, I’m going to be your wife”She snapped and walk away
“Your majesty”The guard that Veal sent to protect Amelia secretly walk in.
“Did she get home safely?”Veal asked.
“Yes your highness, but I think she is seeing someone”He bowed.
“Seeing someone? What is that?”Veal laughed.
“A guy stop her from entering and they talked as if they knew themselves so well”He added.
“Go”Veal ordered and he bowed before walking out of his chamber.
“Amelia can’t possibly fall in love with another person? I trust her, there is nothing to worry about”He assured.
He suddenly rush out of his chamber.
“Take me to where she is”Veal whispered to the guard that came to report to him.
