Alicia's pov
A knock came on the door and I almost jumped out of my pants...
One of the maids who was playing with Xenia got up and went to the door.
They were four guards. They barged into the room and grabbed me.
"No! Stop!" I yelled struggling.
"The king has ordered us to take you to the dungeon so it's left for you to cooperate" The leader chided and they began pulling me away.
"Mommy!" Xenia called running after us and the maids held her.
My eyes watered as I realized what was going on...
I'm in so much trouble.
Dawn's pov
I stared at my reflection at the mirror as I brushed my teeth.
Can you believe I took a bath and wore my dress before realizing I forgot to brush.
Its probably because I slept off late last night.
After cleaning up, I returned back to the bedroom. Caroline was arranging my clothes
A knock came on the door and I cringed.
"Who could that be?" I walked to the door and got hold of the handle.
I hope its not for Duchess Tetrazzini.
I might end up screaming that I'm not a princess at all.
I glanced at Caroline before washing it open and i saw one of King Lee's men standing there.
"The king requests for your presence at his chambers" He said and my heart returned back to my body.
I just can't wait to see him.
I left with the guard for the King's chambers.

King Lee was sitting on the floor when I walked in and right before him was a bottle of wine.
Don't tell me his drunk...
"Good morning, your Majesty" I said sitting opposite him on the floor.
"You don't have to sit on the floor, Anna...princesses don't do that.." He said and I shook my headp.
"Its fine" I muttered looking down..
"Simone's leaving...the divorce papers will be here tomorrow" He groused and drank from the bottle.
Whoa...
Simone's leaving?
I had no idea.
"Are you getting drunk because you're going to miss her?" I asked blandly.
"No...I just don't like the feeling of being dumped. I rather ask her to leave than for her leaving on her own free will" He grumbled.
I batted my lashes.
This soul can't be serious.
"So...how's your wedding tutorial going?" He asked smirking.
"Its going well, your highness" I replied and he took my hand pulling me to stand up.
We sat on the bed and I'm surprised he doesn't look or sound drunk one bit.
"Do you still remember what happened two days ago? The morning you found yourself on my bed?" He further asked.
"No, I don't. Your highness" I responded perturbed.
"I want you to kiss me till you remember" He said and I shuddered.
My tongue shook fervently as I ran short of words.
"I don't think its possible, your maj--"
"I don't care..." He cooed leaning his back comfortably on the pillow.
I swallowed nothing and drew closer to him. I placed my lips on his aiming for his lower lips.
I don't even know how to do this....
I froze at the spot feeling the coldness of his lips. They tasted like berries and I realized its from the wine he drank.
I felt him cup my left cheek and starts kissing me in the most sensual way.
My whole system vibrate and I shuddered at each passing second.
He literally took over the kiss as he pathed my lips with his tongue and dived in.
I was starting to get short of breath and I pulled away panting.
King Lee took a deep breath gazing at me.
I claimed his lips and his hands wrapped around my waist. I can't believe I'm kissing him now...
We unlocked and he pulled me to lean on his chest. I could hear his heart beating fast...
"Is the duchess coming today?" He asked and I cringed.
"Yes..." I muttered despondently.
"I know you don't want to continue the wedding tutorial but I can't stop her from coming. Most times, kings can't fight the laws of the land. Before a princess is being married off to the king, she must go through tests and lessons from the duchess given to them" He stated stroking my hair.
"Okay...your highness" I whispered sitting up properly.
He smiled and touched my neck brushing it softly.
There was a short silence and I gawped into his beautiful face.
"I'll get you a necklace, and I want to have your name plaited with gold...
So, whats the full name of Anna?" He asked breezily.
My full what---
King Lee should just kill me.
