" It really is..", Gabriella muttered to herself." Don't try anything funny tonight. Get some sleep. I will leave now", said Beatrice before she bowed and left.----When Beatrice came out of Gabriella's room, she saw Helena and Max talking. Max had a smile on his face and Helena was laughing. In the next moment, a servant came and whispered something to Max who then bid farewell to Helena and left.When Helena saw Beatrice, she smiled and greeted her." What were the two of you talking about?", asked Beatrice." Oh, it's really nothing. We were just discussing some childhood memories", Helena replied.Beatrice nodded." In the future, keep a distance from the Crown prince. People in the palace might start gossiping", said Beatrice.Then she began walking away."Is it just because people might start creating rumors? Are you really afraid that I might steal the Crown prince from you?", asked Helena.Beatrice stopped in her tracks. She turned around and asked." What did you just say?"

" I repeat, you are to be married to Prince Myles as soon as possible", said Emperor Nicholas." But why?!", asked Gabriella." Recently there have been too many assassination attempts on the royal family. We suspect that it has something to do with the Quinn clan. We need the help of the grand mage that is currently living in Gwacary. But as you know, the Quinn clan has ties with Queen Camilla. Queen Camilla has been doubling her efforts to make her son the Crown prince. Her men are checking every single letter and gift sent to the palace. So, it is almost impossible for us to contact the grand mage who is living in the royal palace of Gwacary", Emperor Nicholas explained." What does this have to do with me?", Gabriella asked." I want you to go to Gwacary, talk to the grand mage, keep an eye on Queen Camilla and her supporters, help Myles to become the King of Gwacary, and help us deal with the Quinn clan for once and all", said Emperor Nicholas." Why me? Why not a daughter of a n

" How much did she drink?"" Two bottles of wine"" All by herself?!"Loralye nodded and helped Helena bring Gabriella outside. When they went outside the private room, they saw Myles standing in front of them. He was clad in a pair of black pants and a beige turtle sweater. He extended his hands." Give her to me", he said.Loralye and Helena seemed hesitant." There is a customer demanding a refund--"Loralye immediately left to check out what happened, leaving Helena to carry Gabriella all by herself. Helena was struggling. Finally, she sighed and let Myles Gabriella princess carry her. Meanwhile, she kept an eye on Myles as she called for a car.But when they went outside of Lilac's and Lavender's, Myles's car was parked there. He gently placed Gabriella in the back seat and put a blanket on her. Helena got into the back seat with let Gabriella rest her head on her shoulder as Myles sat in the driver's seat and drove to the palace.----At the Dalton manor." Did you find the chil

Lady Anne hesitated for a moment before she took the envelope. She read it and felt confused." Why does he want to meet us?", asked Lady Anne." I don't know", Helena replied.There was silence." Should we...meet him?", asked Helena." There is no reason not to", Lady Anne replied.----When Gabriella woke up later that day, she felt like her head was split open. She rubbed her temples as she got out of bed and stretched her body. When she was at the full-length mirror, she stopped.' Why am I wearing pajamas? Wasn't I just at Lilac's and Lavender's drinking?'She looked around and sighed in relief when she realized that it was indeed her room.' Who took me home? Was it Helena?'' No, I felt someone carry me as if I was a newborn baby. Helena can't carry me like that'' Who was it then?'Just then Gabriella's stomach growled in hunger.' Nevermind, I will figure it out after I eat something. It's almost time for dinner'Gabriella took a bath and walked out of the bathroom, drying h

" Indeed, you are not easy to fool", Sir James said. " Of course. Anyone with an IQ over 80 can guess your intentions", Lady Anne scoffed. " The real reason I wanted to meet you--", Sir James took out the files Edwin had given to him. He stared at Lady Anne for a few seconds before handing the files to her " The reason is to show you this", Sir James said. Lady Anne hesitated before she took the file. She glanced at Sir James and then looked inside the file. Her eyes widened as she began to flip through it faster and faster. While Lady Anne was reading the file, Sir James poured a cup of tea for himself. He was trying to cool down the tea when Lady Anne suddenly slammed the file against the table. " Sir James, are you lying to me?!", Lady Anne asked angrily. " I'm not lying", Sir James replied calmly. " How could she be your daughter?! She is my daughter!", Lady Anne yelled. " Just as the pictures show, Lady Rose switched your child with hers. She didn't stop there. She switche
