Third person pov Trisha hurried to the hidden basement outside the palace where they normally met. She found Ric and her father already there. She knew she had lied. Even if she had slept with the king, it could’ve been a win-win situation. But why did she feel like she was carrying a monster? She bowed to them both and sat down. "I don't understand how I'm feeling. It seems like there's something heavy inside me, and I'm not comfortable... Sire Ric, did you do something to me?" Both Lord Kai and his daughter looked at the beta. "As long as you slept with the king, the rest is none of your business, Trisha. You've done your part. Just keep calm and watch." Trisha swallowed hard. She almost burst into tears. All this was Bianca's fault. Her fault. All her fault. She should die!
