AND I??
Season_2_Episode_28???

Dawn’s pov?
I closed the windows pondering about why King Lee placed my hand on his wound.
Was he expecting something to happen?
I hope he hasn’t found out about my powers. That’s impossible.
Its not written on my face that I’m a healer.
I was done shutting the windows and turned around. I caught him getting on his bed.
“Is there anything else you need, your Majesty?” I asked walking going towards him.
“No, you can go now” He ordered and my eyes dropped on his hand.
He had tied a bandage around his injury.
This means he just called me here to close his windows.
Seriously?!
“Goodnight, your highness” I said with a bow before walking to the door.
“Hold on…I think there’s one more thing” He mumbled and I froze.
You got to be kidding me.
I was so sleepy and craved to lie down.
I turned and marched back to him.
“Go and check if the windows at my bathroom is locked” He spoke softly.
I titled my head and went straight to the bathroom. This is ridiculous!
I looked in and smiled admiring the luxury and spotless whites.
“The windows are all closed” I muttered under my breath before going back to him.
“Is there anything else?” I asked with pleading eyes.
He looked up at the ceiling for a while..
“I can’t remember any for now but, you can lay beside me as I think over it” He offered.
Oh geez!
I went to the other side of the bed and covered myself up with the duvet.
“Are you sleepy?” He asked and I shook my head negatively.
“Good…come close” He whispered and I shifted nearer to him that our arms touched.
“Do you have any questions about me?” He asked briskly.
I thought for a second.
“Its about you mom. What did she do that you had her locked up?” I asked and he scoffed.
“I said about ME. Not anyone else” He groused and I chuckled.
“Please tell me, King Lee” I said grinning.
He sighed and leaned back on the dozen pillows.
“She helped the enemies kill my father and then…she tried to kill me too. I don’t know what to do with her yet but I’m gonna make sure her death is slow and painful” He stated.
I couldn’t believe him just yet.
The queen looks so kind and innocent.
How could she do such a thing??
“Anyways, I’ll ask you a question about you…why don’t you behave like a princess?” He asked removing his robe.
I was starting to feel nervous..
“I don’t know…I’m just different” I replied despondently.
He shrugged and adjusted himself on the bed.
“I know that feeling of being different. I’ve been called a psychopath all my life but I just pity the doctors and i murdered when I was taken to a psychiatric hospital as a boy” He said and laid properly on the bed.
“Goodnight, princess” He whispered and turned off the lights.
I cringed and touched my chest as my heart beat like it would pump out soon.
I know I have to tell him everything about me soon but I’m sure he’s not gonna take it lightly with me.
How long will I keep punishing myself?
I’ll confess everything tomorrow morning and face the consequences.
I have to do this before the wedding.
Dawn’s mother’s pov?
I growled rolling on the bed.
The sickness was making me weaker by the minute and I fear I’ll give up soon..
If only my baby girl – Dawn was here.
She would just touch my tummy and all the pains will disappear.
I’m always getting sick and I think that’s the reason God gave Dawn healing powers.
I growled again almost to the point of shedding tears.
The pain was twice the pain of labor.
I could barely take it…
Oh, Dawn…
Where are you to heal me from this pain?

Dawn’s pov?
I perceived the nice fragrance of a thick perfume and I opened my eyes immediately.
Its morning already.
I looked around the room and saw King Lee standing by the mirror.
He was dressed in a black suit and his hair was well combed.
Where’s he going to?…
He finally turned and I saw his beautiful face staring at me.
“Good morning, your Majesty” I muttered stretching on the bed.
“Yeah…whatever” He groused picking up his rings from the table and putting it on.
“How’s your wound, your highness?” I asked getting off the bed.
“Huh?” He asked looking lost…
“I’m referring to the cut you had yesterday” I said and he cracked.
“Its healing” he responded.
“I’m going to the court and won’t be here till midnight” He informed checking his glittering gold wrist watch.
Aargh…
Won’t I ruin his good mood by telling him about me so early in the morning??
But then…
I just wanted to get it off my chest.
“There’s something I want to tell you, your highness” I said with a shaky voice.
