Vivian walked into her house furiously. She was both angry and heartbroken. She couldn't believe that Alexander could say such things to her. She flung herself unto the couch."Sweetie, don't worry, Alexander will eventually see that you're the perfect woman for him." Said Esther, as she tried to console her daughter."Didn't you just hear what the king said? He is not going to marry her, why won't you get that into your head Esther?" Desmond Lancaster asked his wife."And why should I? She can't miss this type of opportunity.""Opportunity? The king was very clear. Do you want to end up in a dungeon?""As far as queen mother is on our side, that will never happen." She said. She then continued;"Vivian you yourself haven't been playing your cards right.

She had a solemn and confused look on her face."Look there Aurora." I looked towards the direction, I saw a lady seated there. I then looked at Sam. "Should we go over to her?" I asked him.

I just didn't know why the flower's effect took such a tl bug toll on me. The king said that they usually wear off quickly, but it wasn't the same for me."I still don't know how you got this sick." Said Gwen."It's the stress, I'll get better soon." I said. I had the covers up to my nose. I did not tell Gwen the real reason behind my sickness. For some reason, I felt like it would just cause an argument between us. But now that I thought about it, word must have spread that I was with the king last night.
