CHAPTER 3

*************************

That is what happened the last time I attend the royal gathering. My dad wants to make me an object of pride but i disappointed him.

I stand up from where I was sitting and dash to my dressing mirror. I wipe my tears carefully as I think of several things my dad will do to me.

I know all I should be expecting now is my dad punishing me.

I lay on the bed and wait for the punishment and slandering coming my way, but soon I doze off.

With my eyes half open, I blink several times to see clearly. I turn to lay on my side facing the widely open window, i turn back immediately my gaze meet the bright rays of the sun.

Before fully opening my eyes I heard a knock on the door. I froze in place immediately I heard the knock.

I knew there is a message from my dad. He would want to see me just to pour a lava of anger on me. I don't know what's so wrong about my decision of not dancing.

I own my life, I can do whatever I want. I thought as I try to summon courage to face him.

Yes, who is it ?. I replied after deciding on what to do.

It is Stella, my lady, she said the king wants you in his chamber right away. Jack announce with his head poked in through the half open door.

Tell her to come in.

Afternoon my lady, the king wants you in his chamber right away. She replied with a slight bow.

Is he angry?.Yes, he is

My heart beats fast like it would jump out of my chest at any time. Calm down.I whisper to myself as I slide my feet into my slippers.

******************************

I stood in front of him and fix my gaze sharply on the floor. A part of me wants to fall on my knees and cry for her s forgiveness but the other part wants to get angry, look into his eyes and tell him that I hate gum so much, but I sat on the fence, I took neither of the two actions. I just stood motionless with my gaze fixed on the floor and my hands tightly entangled behind me.

The two actions seem to have the same level of power cause none could take over me.

He walk around the room, his hands entangled behind him, his sharp jawline which matches his sharp gazes lifted up.

I steal a glance at him and I could see clearly the anger burning wildly in him. The sound of his anger matching the sound of his footsteps on the wooden board.

Silence grew wider and wider in the room. Not knowing what to do, i kept my gaze locked on the floor and count the wooden boards one by one.

I soon forget that am here for punishment. I move

from one position to another as I crafully count the floor boards.

I stop immediately I notice his sharp gazes on my skin, his gazes soon begin to eat deep into my flesh which I can not stand any longer I look up and steal a glance at him.

He kept staring at me but now with a weak expression on his face

From the look in his face, I can tell something is wrong with him. I took few steps towards him with a questioning look.

Soon his legs begin to shake and he collapsed with a loud thud. And is when I was certain that something is wrong with him.

I run outside to tell the guards what had just happened.

***********************************

I sat beside my father with a worried look as a feeling of guilt grow in my mind, even though I am not the cause of what had happened to him, I still feel guilty.

I was busy blaming myself when the physicians walk in.

Good morning my lady.They chorused with and take a deep bow except for the old man who could only bend slightly.

Your highness, can you excuse us, we need to run a test on his Majesty. The old man said politely.

I hesitantly left the room with a worried expression.

Still standing outside, I walk around worriedly with different negative thoughts rushing through my mind, my pace gets faster and my footsteps thicker as I try to eraze the negative thoughts running through my mind
