Logan's POVI heaved a sigh as I walked out of the hospital. Nova; my horse was there waiting for me. As soon as I walked closer, he reared up his muzzle and stared at me."I must look pathetic to you too…," I said brokenly as I patted his mane."Do not worry, I will come for you," I said to him and refastened his reins before embracing the cold night.Shoving my hands into my pockets, I halted and took a long look at the hospital. Although I had turned away from the small doctor, my heart was troubled. I wondered why she returned bloody and unconscious."If you are troubled, let's go see her… it takes you nothing," Leon said, but I shut him up. I might be concerned about the small doctor, but she was none of my business.Slowly, I turned away from the hospital and took a long stroll back to the palace.The first place I went was Lian's chambers. The royal physician was just leaving."She is going to be fine. She is asleep already," the physician answered the worried look in my eyes.
Logan's POV "Lian?" I asked, I called out, unsure of what I just saw. It was the beginning of a new day, the sun was just starting to rise. I had checked on Lian alongside my mother earlier, but she was asleep and I wasn't allowed into her bedroom. But now, I was in my room staring through the window. I caught sight of someone standing on my patio, it was Lian. "I must be seeing things," I said to myself and rushed out. "I miss you, Logan… I didn't want to miss our morning squabble, I came to say hi as usual," Lian said in a whisper as I stared at her blinking my eyes in utter shock. "What the heck! You're driving me crazy!" I snapped and helped her in. I pushed her into one of the seats in anger. "What the heck!? You should have sent for me or mind-linked me. You know I will definitely come to check on you. You should have waited. You ain't up for this!" Lian smiled sheepishly and I shut my eyes in dismay. I ordered one of the maids to get her a glass of water which she ex
Renae's POV"Thank you June," I whispered as June set up my breakfast."Common, I am doing this so that you can get well soon. It's tiring," June pouted with a sarcastic smile planted on her face."I know… I promised to get well soon," I said, playing along."Nevertheless, thanks for the care," I added meaningfully and she patted my back.While I ate, she handpicked some hand tools into her bag as she prepared to leave. She slung her backpack on her back and I looked at her curiously."It's quite early, don't tell me you are going…" I said but she interrupted."Yes, it is what you think. Eden and I are going to gather some herbs. Our team was assigned for today… We have to set out earlier so that we can get your cut done too. We still return in time…You know, we are trying to appease the principal," June responded."Oh! I see… thank you June," I whispered."Eden…." I stuttered, "...he hasn't shown up since yesterday…""He hasn't forgiven you…he also mentioned that you needed privacy.
Renae's POVWhile the nurses helped me prepare to meet the prince, my mind was filled with different possibilities as to why he visited It was quite early and he did not look like he came to have fun. I was filled with dread. Is something wrong with the Princess? Is she still unwell? Has Logan figured out that I was the one who saved the Princess? Did he find out that I was the one who mind-linked him? "We are done," one of the nursemaids said, breaking into my thoughts."Thank you," I said as they supported me on both sides, I could barely walk on my own. Despite their help, I felt dizzy as my feet hit the ground. As we took each steps I groaned in pain"Sorry dear," one of the nursemaids said as we took baby steps out of the dorm.Leaving the dorm when I could barely walk was a bad idea. I made an open disgrace of myself as students cast auspicious glances at me. They called me names and cussed out loud."Where were you after you were thrown out of the party!?" Logan's voice boo
Logan's POVThe students who had gathered bowed their heads and made way for me as I stormed out of the cafeteria. I strutted out of the hospital and I made my way down to the palace.I just confirmed my fears. The small doctor was in the woods at the same time as the Princess when the Princess was poisoned. It is safe to predict that she saved the Princess, but if the Princess's testimony is correct, then the small doctor was the same person that poisoned the Princess.How could she!? That bitch. She attempted to murder the Princess. If this gets out, she will be annihilated alongside her family members. Thinking about it made my heart sink. There must be some misunderstanding… thinking about the way the small doctor cared for me, I don't think she could do that to the Princess. Moreover, Lian was right. Until yesterday when Jennifer turned me on, I felt something strong towards the small doctor. Although it was in the past, I still didn't want her to be harmed.But one thing tha
Logan's POV"What about her?" Jennifer asked, nudging my head to look at her."Yes," what about her, I asked again, chewing some cheesecakes in my mouth."Didn't you hear the rumors?" Jennifer asked."What rumors? Common… I am a busy man. I have no time for that.""If I had known that she was such a bitch, I wouldn't have insisted that she treat your wounds.""What is this all about?" I asked calmly."The small doctor is pregnant! She isn't just pregnant outside wedlock, she can't even name the father," Jennifer broke the bombshell.I smirked and looked away."Really? Don't tell me you are aware," Jennifer questioned in shock."I am aware. The night she was thrown out of the party, she returned to the hospital bathed in blood… she almost had a miscarriage… it's all because of your sick plot!""What? Don't tell me you are standing up for her again.""Why not? That's why you should be careful with people. No one knew she was pregnant until you turned her into a maid and made father thro
Logan's POVI have been expecting Beta Peter to come to see me privately, but he hasn't shown up.I still wondered why he lied to my father about my visit to the hospital. I was sure he definitely saw that I went there to question the small doctor.Although his action was questionable, he saved the small doctor. If he had told my father that I went to question her, she wouldn't be safe. Father would have commanded that she should be dragged down for questioning irrespective of her condition.As far as I was concerned, I still wanted to have a full grasp before deciding on what to do. If she was indeed guilty, I wouldn't hesitate to turn her over for punishment. The punishment for such an offense is death by hanging.Heaving a sigh, I rose to my feet and took a stroll around my chambers. I was smiling at the beautiful sunrise when the door opened. Lian walked in in the company of her guards. She had recovered fully and she was back on her feet. Mother had insisted that she stopped h
Lian's POVI couldn't lay low and watch things unfold. I was going to find things out my own way. I only waited to heal up and now I am as fit as a fiddle.Going out to find the small doctor was only an excuse to leave my chambers. Well, it wasn't just an excuse, I needed to see her. That night, I saw her in the woods where I was poisoned. I had walked along a beautiful creek when I found myself in the woods.I fell in love with the woods instantly. For some reason, l loved the serenity. I was a lively person and I loved a lively environment. But I was appalled by the beauty of the woods.It was surrounded by beautiful hills. The light from the full moon cast shadows over the hills making it feel all eerie. Funnily, I loved the feeling and I was compelled to have my first shift there.Walking deeper into the woods, I saw a field of wild lilacs. The fragrance reminded me of the small doctor, reminding me of what happened at the party.Walking past the flowers, I noticed a lone cave no
