It was almost noon when Julianne woke up, she had stay awake all night waiting for news about the Prince or the culprit and had only slept in the early hours of the morning.
After she had asked after her grandmother and was told she could not come to the celebration she decided to find the Prince only to hear that he was yet to return and had not treated his wound, she had taken the first aid kit to his room that night to find him but he had not returned, she couldn't sleep because she was worried he must have lost consciousness in the woods due to lose of blood.
Getting out of bed she stretched her limbs and yelled.
"Good Morning my lady, should I draw the bath? Her maid greeted.
"Yes please" Julianne answered still stretching her body.
"Would you like your breakfast to be served in your bedroom?
"What is the time?
"Thirty minutes to noon"
"Get my breakfast to my room"
Julianne got out of bed and stood in front of her mirror taking a close look at herself, her stomach growled to distract her and she went into the bathroom, she closed her eyes and submerged herself in the water when a blurry memory flashed by and she saw a shadow of a young girl being dragged by a woman.
'Mother please don't! Please mother! Mother please!'
She gasp and sat up why the cry of the little girl kept echoing in her head.
"What was that? She asked herself. She felt pain but she didn't know why. Pushing the memory aside she washed off and went to have her breakfast. When she was done she went to search for her father.
She found him in her garden sitting under the oak tree.
"Good Afternoon father" she greeted, pecked his cheek and sat beside him.
"The sleeping beauty is finally awake, how was your night rest? Lord Wilmort asked.
"Restless, is the Prince back" she asked curiously.
"Yes, he is , the imposter is yet to awake from his unconscious state so we are yet to interrogate him"
"Where is he now?
"In the dungeons"
"Can I see him?
"It's cold down there go put on your coat".
Julianne went to get her coat, she thought about bringing the first aid kit but brushed it off as she wouldn't be cleaning his Injury in the dungeons.
Returning back she came across Grace and Lady Alberta, an acquaintance of Grace.
"Her Royal Highness has finally been let free or is it the other way round" Grace mocked on seeing her.
"Is that His Majesty's new toy" Lady Alberta asked.
"I beg your pardon" Julianne was annoyed.
"His Majesty would bed you and make you his w***e until you become useless and don't think of anything more than that" Lady Alberta added.
"Alberta you are being harsh, the Prince is all over my sister" Grace put her acting skills to use.
"I remember the year he was all over me too, but look at me now. Grace you must warn your sister before it's late" saying that Lady Alberta walked away.
"Stop playing nice Grace not like we are close" Julianne warned.
"I am just being a 'Sister'" Grace laughed and walked away.
"Don't take her words to heart though I did say you stay away from the Prince or more casualties will continue to occur around you, some people wouldn't want you to be the next queen" Xavier said coming out from behind the pillar.
"You are not helping here besides I really want to stay away from him but what can I do, he's the Prince, I haven't seen you since yesterday where have you been?
"With too many girls around what can I do, I don't want to lose my opportunity, I will excuse myself now, I have damsels waiting in line for me, I beg to take my leave your highness" Xavier bowed and laughed before walking away.
"Please stop" Julianne groaned, 'Your Highness' she mumbled before walking away.
