Chapter 8 Courtney POV "Milady,I don't think you should do this. I know you want to leave but remember the compensation we should….." "forget the compensation I can't do this anymore"I hasten my steps and Reena ran after me to catch up. I came across the garden,the garden I first met George.i looked at the garden and smiled. "Milady, did you change your mind?" Reena saw me stop and asked. "No let's go," I walked forward and came face to face with George. "How's your fever? Do you feel better?"he moved closer to me and I stepped back to create distance between us. "I'm fine Your Majesty,rather than be concerned about me,I think you should go spend the night with lady Agatha,bye Your Majesty" I bowed and resumed walking but he caught my forearm and I stopped. "Where are you going?" He questioned staring at me coldly,I shuddered, George has never given me that kind of look, but I don't care. "Don't bother Your Majesty, let me be on my way. '' I sigh
Chapter 9George POV I looked down at Courtney and sighed,that was close,if I haven't met her she would have gone to mother and I know Mother will let her go. This troublemaker,I touched her forehead to be sure she's not having fever again,and I was relieved she wasn't. She was already sound asleep,I was happy I met her by the garden and managed to stop her.I wondered why she suddenly decided to leave. I watched over her all night and finally left when it dawned to get some sleep before it time for court. Alfred woke me when it was time and we left. "Based on the competition going on,Lady Agatha seems to be leading, congratulations in advance Lord Danbury." The royal secretary said,and the Prime minister smiled. "Don't flatter me,the competition just started, who knows, someone else might win" Our eyes met and he slowly lowered his gaze. I sneer,this man is always daring me."Congratulations? It is just the first day of the competition,moreover what m
Chapter 11 Courtney POV I was supposed to leave the palace but I got points instead,and His Majesty doesn't seem to want me to leave but I will. I just need to prepare slowly, it's just a matter of time before I will be dropped so I should just let nature take it's course. "Milady are you alright?" Reena asked on our way back to my room." Of course I'm fine."she touched my forehead to be sure. She frowned and looked from my eyes to lips"Your temperature is normal but you look pale"" Probably because I'm starving," I said to stop her from worrying." Is that so? Then let's hurry up,so you can go eat lunch" I nodded and we soon got to my place. My lunch was served but Reena wasn't around as she went to collect my medicine from the physician. I ate lunch alone,and undressed,wearing comfy clothes.I let down my hair and planned to rest but I started having a stomach ache. At first it was bearable, but as time went on it got worse.

"Let me ask again,did you really poisoned her?" It was George's voice,he seems to be doubting it too I smile there's still a chance to turn the situation around. We entered,the court and everyone attention turned to us.I saw a lot of old and young men I didn't recognize but I wasn't here for them so I ignored them.I saw the little girl in the middle of the court,weeping on her knees"Lady Courtney,why are you here?"
