~CASSANDRA~I was dragged by the horse of those mentally ill people. What kind of men treat a lady like this? I will make sure they go in for making me go through this. My wrist was hurting so badly because the rope was tightly tied, I'm already weak from walking and it's night fall already. They were moving slowly, I mean the horses.... well they are the ones that control the horses. I can feel my wrist on fire, it's hurting badly and my legs swollen from walking.Finally we left the forest and I was relieved to see people around. I won't hesitate to report these people, but the funny thing is that... all these people are also dressing weirdly or could they also be part of the movie, I'm sure they are acting a historical movie. They were all staring at me, whispering among themselves. Their stares were getting me shy already. I never knew that I'm this beautiful to be admired by all these actors and actresses. I was smiling sheepishly as I tried to hide my face. I
~CASSANDRA~I blinked my eyes thrice before flapping them open. I had a really weird dream last night where I found myself in the past world. It was really funny and I'm glad I woke up from that dream because it was actually scary to me."Eda." I heard that same name in my dream. Wait.... I think I'm still dreaming, I really need to wake up from this dream."You are awake my child," the voice came up again and a palm ran through my hair. Is this real? No-no let me believe it's a dream."Go and call My Lord, tell him that Eda is awake," the female voice also said. My eyes were still looking up at the ceiling and those ceilings don't look modern.... It's this actually true? Am I in another world? I slowly turned beside me and my eyes caught a beautiful woman who held a smile on her face, and she was sitting beside me. An old man stood behind her and two other ladies who had their heads bowed.I look down on my body, I'm wearing a different cloth... I mean ancie
~CASSANDRA~We arrived at the palace. I was dressed in a beautiful robe and we rode on a chariot. The chariot stopped in front of the Queen's chamber like I was told. The place is very beautiful and neat, there are a lot of beautiful flowers.I carefully step down. Gosh! This dress is too big and huge, they made me feel uncomfortable cos I'm always used to wearing light clothes. There were guards and maids outside, they all bowed to me. Zara, who was appointed as my personal maid, led me inside. The Queen's chamber is big and beautiful, she hides behind a transparent look-like board that I couldn't see her face properly. As I was taught, I bowed to the Queen and kindly took my seat on the small foam mattress on the floor. I waited for the Queen to speak. I wondered why she needed my presence, I pray I won't act stupid. It took her a while to speak up“I heard you were missing for six months and you came back, losing your memory." She spe
~ AUTHOR'S POV~Queen Dowager chamber (The crown Queen) The Queen sip from the herbal tea and slowly drop the ceramic tea cup on the table in front of her. She raised her face to look at the prince who was also sitting in front of her."Did you have a good time with lady Eda?" she asked with an invisible smile on her face."Yes mother, she is fun to be with and she is nice too," Aeon replied. The Queen smiled."That's good to hear, well she is interesting. But I guess you know me by now. There must be a reason behind me asking you to take Lady Eda for a walk around the palace.""Of Course mother, you want me to know her better," he replied and the Queen smiled a little."Your replies actually show that I've not wasted my time raising you," the Queen cut in.Aeon already knew the Queen's motive, so the Queen raised him. She was the one that gave birth to him. But unknown to him, the Queen is not his real mother. His real mother is Abigail.Abigail was a mistre
~AUTHOR'S POV~"I said let go of her, Lucas." Daniel g groan colder. Lucas' eyes have already turned red in anger. He hates Daniel and cannot take it if he tries to command him, his anger makes him grip on Cassandra even tighter. She winced out in pain."Leave me, you are hurting me." Cassandra cried. Daniel ball his fist in anger.Though he doesn't know who the girl is, he still hates what Lucas is doing. It pains him when a girl is sexually harassed. Girls are weak to fight for themselves and men take such an opportunity to harass them."You are testing my patience Lucas. Let go of that girl now!" Daniel grouses in all seriousness. Lucas scoffed and chuckled sarcastically.Cassandra is a bit relieved that someone came to her rescue, who knows what Lucas is planning to do to her."And if I said no, What would you do, Daniel. You are nothing but a mistress's son." Lucas blurts out sarcastically.Daniel's eyes dim in anger as his chest was rising wi
~ CASSANDRA~I woke up one morning just to face what I call blackmail. I've bluntly refused to marry the crown prince but my dad just came up with an idea to make me give in. He set a rope trying to hang himself and said that he will come down only if I agree to marry the prince. I was sleeping peacefully in my room when my personal maid Zara rushed into painting, it took her a while before she told me what was happening. "Come quickly my Lady, you need to stop your father right now!" she rushed out her words. I couldn't waste time, she dragged me to the place. My new mum was there crying and the servants were also crying. "Eda my dear please accept your father's request already, you wouldn't want to see your father dead ..... Will you? " she cried out.I closed my eyes and opened them in frustration, this man is very intelligent. He chooses this strategy because he knows he's gonna win. What do I do now? I don't want to marry the cro

She was slowly falling deep inside the water as her eyes became blurry but at a point she saw an image coming towards her.Her eyes were too weak to recognize the person, she did not put effort, she just closed her eyes cos she has already lost the hope of surviving.

We have never thought of that." one of the governors said."Your majesty, we hope that we won't regret supporting you. I'm afraid the crown prince might lose the throne," another governor said, referring to Dowgar. "You don't have to worry governor Sylvester, you all won't regret supporting me, the crown prince must be the King. Once he becomes the King I will reward you all handsomely," Dowager cuts in."But how are we gonna make the crown Prince the King?
