PALACE★PRINCESS LISA’S SUITE**
Lisa peeped through the door and let out a groan as she saw the guards parading in front of her suite
“Are they seriously going to stand here all day?? I need to go out and have some fun” She said sadly and fell back on the bed.
She’s the palace troublemaker,she’s always getting into one trouble or the other. She prefer spending her day at the brothel,getting drunk and will almost get R@PED some times,she’s got numbers of friends who are always waiting for her to bring some cash for fun.
She got up from the bed and walked to the mirror to check herself out,the dress she was putting on was so beautiful and transparent,too revealing for a princess but who cares? Her red lips doesn’t seem to be enough,she applied more of the lipstick and walked to the door again.
She opened the door and the two guards immediately moved closer
“You’re not allowed to come out my princess” One of them said
“Can you please tell mother that I am sick?? Please….” She said in a weak voice
“My princess,are you okay?” One of the guards immediately asked worriedly
“I’m….dying” She stuttered
“Go call the healer and I will get queen mother,hurry up!” One of them said and immediately the two of them ran off separately
“Why would they hire dumb guards here?? Anyway My luck” She chuckled and looked left and right before running out of the suite,making sure to dodge everyone coming until she finally left the palace
Minutes later,Queen Mother walked in with worries all over her face
“Have you called the healer??” She asked
“He’s on his way your highness” The guard replied
Queen Sophia opened the door to Sophia’s suite and it was empty,the maids gasped and the guard looked shocked
“Where’s my daughter?” Queen Sophia faced the guard
“I swear queen mother,the princess was here just now…..”
“Shut the h*ll up and get the guards to look for her right away!!!!!” Queen Sophia yelled
“Yes your highness” the guard immediately bowed and ran off
“That girl won’t be the end of me” Queen Sophia held her chest
“My queen…”
“Move back,I want to be alone” Queen Sophia said and walked away

As Adelaide walked through the market with the medicine in her hand,she bumped into a woman and her bag fell
“Oh no….I’m so sorry!!” Adelaide immediately bowed and apologized before picking her bag on the ground
“It’s okay Adelaide” The woman said before walking away
It took Adelaide a minute before she thought about it
How the h*ll does that woman know her name? She turned at once to see her again but she didn’t even get another glance from her,she was gone
“So fast?” She muttered and continued walking
She was so lost in thought that she ended up bumping into another person again.
“I’m so sorry…gosh Ade come back to your sense” She bowed repeatedly but looking up,her eyes widened to see the same woman she had bumped into earlier but this time,she was looking different in the same body.
The woman smiled at her and Adelaide gulped
“But….I…saw you earlier…”
“Really?? You met me? Are you sure?” The woman asked
“Yes,but how come you changed clothes so fast?” Adelaide asked
“You must go to the palace” The woman said and ignored her question
“What?” Adelaide asked looking confused
“You have a destiny to fulfill in the palace,you must find your way in there” The woman said
“But…how…..ahh!!!” She screamed when the woman vanished right in front of her
Adelaide touched her chest and started running away in fear m
**
She finally stopped somewhere,catching her breath as she pants heavily
“Are you scared?” A voice asked and she immediately turned back
But again,it was the same woman in another outfit this time
“Who are you? Why are you doing this to me?” Adelaide asked
“Do I look like I am going to hurt you?” The woman asked
“Then…who are you??” Adelaide asked
“Does that matter?? It’s time to get into the palace”
“Okay,but how? The palace is not a place I can just go anytime I want” Adelaide said
“By taking a step”
“So you mean,I should just go to the palace right now? What if I get thrown out? What if they mistake me as a thief??”
“Go there first and see what will happen,I will see you again” The lady walked closer to her and stared down at her legs
“I got hurt” Adelaide immediately said wondering how she knew
The lady turned back and walked away,immediately she noticed she couldn’t feel any pain again,she raised her robe quickly only to find her wounds are gone
“What is she?? A witch or what??” She asked herself
She suddenly sighted her Step sisters coming from afar,she quickly turned and ran off toward the palace even though it’s going to be quite a long distance but she was determined to do what the lady said,maybe her sufferings might finally come to an end.

By the time Adelaide entered the palace’s first gate,it was almost evening. She was so tired from the long walk.
“Wow” She muttered as she stared at the beautiful flowers all around,the beautiful gate. It’s her first time here
It was so beautiful as if she’s in another world already
“Don’t be carried away Adela” She muttered to herself and increased her pace
And then she finally got to the main gate where numbers of guards are standing,looking cold
“Who are you?” The first guard who saw her asked
“I’m here to apply as a maid” Adelaide muttered without thinking twice
“The palace doesn’t need a maid,get lost” The guard said coldly and tried closing the door
“Listen to me…” Adelaide tried going in but the guard pushed her back immediately,Attracting other guards
“What’s happening??”
“I think she’s here to steal”
“What??!! I’m not here to steal,Can you just allow me in?? I’m just….”
“Do you want to die? Get lost this minute!!”
Adelaide tried to run in again but was caught at once and thrown on the ground
“Ouch!!” She screamed as she landed on the ground
But stubbornly she got up again and tried to run in,she began struggling with the guards wondering why she’s trying this hard.
“Let me go in please….”
“I guess you really want to die young”
“Let her go” A cold voice which carried authority suddenly spoke up from the back
Adelaide saw the young man and wondered who he was
They turned and immediately bowed
“Your Highness!” They chorused and Adelaide’s eyes widened
It’s King Lucian!!
