A CLOTHES STORE**
“Brother buy me this too,and this….and this……” Gracie kept pointing at every dress
“Gracie!” Kai shouted and Gracie Pouted
“You want to buy the whole store?? Huh?” Kai asked
“Come on brother,I kept your secret for such a long time. Do you know how many times I was tempted to tell mother and father? But because I love you,I kept it” She muttered sadly and Kai sighed
“You got me again you cute witch,just pick anything you want” Kai muttered and Gracie immediately smiled
Kai rough his hair and left her there with the store attendant,he walked to the jewelry side and his eyes caught with a golden necklace,the first person his mind went to was Eleanor but he immediately cleared the thought off
“Hey” A voice whispered from behind and he turned immediately
“Oh you” He smiled
“You remember me” Yasmin grinned
“Why wouldn’t I?” Kai said
“Buying necklace? For who?” Yasmin asked,pointing at the necklace in his hand
“Nobody actually,do you want it?” He asked
“Of course!” Two voices said excitedly and they both turned to see Gracie
“Gracie I wasn’t…….”
“I love it brother! Thank you!” Gracie grabbed the necklace from him before he could finish,she snitched her nose at Yasmin before walking away again
“Sorry about that,she’s trying to rip me off just because of a deal” Kai said
“Oh,I see” Yasmin chuckled
“I can buy you one too” Kai said
“Wow,really?” Yasmin immediately moved closer and they started searching together
“How about this” Kai took one
“You have such good eyes…..Wait,I don’t even know your name” Yasmin said
“Wow,that’s true. I’m Kai,you?”
“Yasmin” Yasmin smiled
“Cute name” Kai muttered and turned back to the necklace
“You like it?” He asked
“Yeah,it’s adorable” Yasmin smiled
“A gift” Kai gave it to her
“Wow,thank you. You’re the first guy to buy me something aside father,I owe you one” Yasmin said,grinning from ear to ear
“I came to get some dress,mind choosing for me?” She asked
“Trust me,I’ve got nice tastes” Kai winked
“Yeah I know,it’s obvious. Let’s go” Yasmin giggles and dragged him away
“Seriously? He just ditched me for a girl” Gracie scoffed and roll her eyes

DIRA KINGDOM★KING’S CHAMBER**
“Son,you said you have something to tell us” The queen said and Liam sighed
“Yes mother” he muttered
“What is it?” The king asked
“It’s….about Renata” Liam started and immediately they smiled
“I know you two like each other a lot,it’s better to just be with her than me choosing a strange princess for you right?” The king said
“No father….that’s not what I’m trying to say” Liam said
“Then what?” The queen asked
“I don’t want to get married to Renata” Liam said
“What? Then,do you have anyone in mind?” The king asked
“Yes father” Liam answered
“Princess of where?”
“She’s….not a princess father but I’m in love with her” Liam said
“What? She’s not a princess? How can the crown prince not get married to a princess? Does it even sound well?” The queen asked
“That’s why I’m pleading,please let me do what I want….”
“I’m not going to be in support” The king cut him off
“Father… ”
“You’re the crown prince! You can’t just choose to do anything you want! You need to protect the image of this kingdom,why would you get married to just a normal lady?! And what is wrong with Renata??”
“Please try to understand me,I’m in love with the girl I’m telling you about….”
“Leave Liam,you should go and rest so we can talk better,I don’t want to say anything again” The king said
Liam sighed and stood up,he bowed shortly before going out
Jimmy immediately joined him
“Went well or not?” He asked
“Not,seriously once I become the king,I would get rid of this silly rules which says a crown prince must get married to a princess,seriously? I envy Lucian right now” Liam said and Jimmy smiled
“You should do that once you become the king,but you won’t leave lady Amara right? I’m sure she’s waiting” Jimmy said
“I won’t do that,this is why I need to convince father as soon as possible Jimmy but he doesn’t wanna listen. What do I do??” Liam groaned

EVENING★SUIDAN PALACE**
The maids just finished dressing Adelaide up,she was preparing to go to the king’s chamber.
‘He’s going to be so surprised when I tell him tonight’ she thought and touched her tummy gently
“You’re good to go my lady” Ava smiled
“Thank you,I should go then” Adelaide stood up
“We will walk you there my lady…..”
“You don’t have to,go take a rest. You’ve been taking care of me all day” Adelaide said and they smiled
“Thank you so much my lady” They bowed at once and went out with Adelaide while they passed another route toward the maids quarter
Adelaide continue walking through the alley which led to the King’s chamber
She started hearing some steps behind her and she turned immediately but found nothing
“That’s weird,I heard footsteps” she muttered and continued walking,again the footsteps followed her,she turned again and found nothing.
“Is it my imagination?” She mumbled and finally got to the staircase.
She was about taking her first step down when the footsteps came again,this time,the moment she tried to look back. A hand pushed her so hard that she lost her balance and started falling down the stairs
“Ahhhhh!!!!!” She screamed loudly as she fell flat on her tummy.
A sharp dangerous pain gripped her and she grabbed her tummy
“Ahh!” She screamed again and managed to open her eyes
The pain increased and slowly,she saw her own blood coming out of her
Her eyes widened,her mouth shaking,her eyes were weak and tears rolled down her eyes
“No…….” She couldn’t complete the sentence when the strong pain gripped her again and she lost her consciousness in her own pool of blood.
