Dawn’s pov?
She yawned and stretched herself sitting up on the bed.
“Hey princess Anna…” She muffled getting down from the bed.
I rushed to help her get on her feet.
“Daddy…ice cream” She whined and ran to her father who has been mute.
“You’re having ice cream too much this days Xenia. No ice cream for you Xenia” King Lee said sternly and she frowned.
“Please, your highness…” I muttered and he scoffed.
He didn’t say anything but walked past us to the bed.
Cold…
I faced little Xenia who was starting to feel disappointed.
“I’ll take you to your mom….Xenia” I said and took her hand.
She yanked her hand of mine and scratched hand with her nails.
I winced seeing the reddened mark on my wrist.
King Lee flared up and approached us.
He glanced at my hand and I quickly hid the hurting arm from him.
“Show me your hand, Anna” He said icily but my eyes remains glued to the floor.
“Its nothing, your highness–”
He forced out my hand and gazed at my wrist were Xenia had scratched.
“Its okay, your Majesty. It doesn’t hurt” I stuttered sounding convincing.
He stared piercingly at Xenia who looked scared.
“Get out Xenia” King Lee finally said after a brief silence.
I didn’t know what to think…
Could he hurt her in the first place??? He’s own daughter…
Xenia sniffed and left the room.
I stared down at my wrist.
The pain was excruciating and I wished I could heal it right now.
King Lee sighed and held my other hand.
He led me to the bed and made me sit down…
I waited for a while and after a while, he returned with a clean white box. He sat beside me and uncovered the box.
There were some contents in the box that I couldn’t identify. I at least saw some bandages.
He dressed the wound neatly and I stifled the grunts and groans that followed.
“Thank you” I muttered when he was done and covered the box.
“Do you know how to operate the new phone I gave you yesterday?” He asked and I shook my head nervously.
“I’ll send someone to teach you later…Alright?” He asked and I nodded.
“I wanted us to play games together” He said standing up.
He began walking to the table and I followed suit.

Alicia’s pov?
I’ve been thinking of a way to expose that bch of a princess – Anna.
And am thinking of telling Simone my suspicions concerning Anna having healing powers.
King Lee would definitely not forgive her if she had powers.
That’ll be a perfect storm to get her in trouble and split them up.
Dawn’s pov?
King Lee and I spent the entire day together and we had the best moments.
“You won’t see me tomorrow…Goodnight Anna…” He said casually.
I got up from the chair.
“Goodnight King Lee…” I muttered and he shrugged.
I scuttled out of the room and began walking to my room.
What’s wrong with me?? He told me he won’t be available tomorrow and I didn’t give him a hug or a kss.
I’m sure I’d miss him.
Without giving it a second thought, I turned around and ran to King Lee’s chambers.
Luckily, the guards let me in.
Where is he??…
He was just sitting on the couch a while ago…
I heard a thud and it came from the garden. I sauntered to the garden door and moved in.
King Lee was kneeling on the floor with his head bent and in front of him was…
Oh my God!
It was the dog that had a sickness.
It was lying lifeless on the floor in a pool of he’s own bl©©d…
King Lee was holding a kn1fe consumed with bl©©d…
Did he just kill the dog???
How could he have done it so fast and quick??…
I was shocked and also guilty.
I could have saved the poor dog but I was selfish and tried to protect my powers from King Lee.
“King Lee….?” I wavered trying to get hia attention.
After what seemed like forever…
He lifted his head and I saw tears around his eyes.
“Anna….Please help me” He whispered.
