Elena dragged Mona’s body to a corner and tied her to the bed. She stood by a corner staring at her unconscious body. She picked the letter and opened it up. Her eyes widened as she read through the contents.Just as she suspected, the silly girl was about to expose them. She didn’t even think of the consequences of her actions. All she cared about was returning the baby to the king after all he put them through.Elena shredded the letter, picked the chair at the corner of the room and set it in a corner. She dragged Mona with her and after a little struggle, she threw the girl’s body over the chair. She searched the drawers for a rope and tied her to the chair.Once the body was secure, she thought about the perfect spot to keep her to avoid suspicion. No one would search for her for sure so it was going to be easy to keep her hidden.Her eyes connected with the closet. It was their personal wardrobe so there was no chance that anyone would come looking in it. Her husband was dead an

“You recognize the handwriting?" Ragi asked with rekindled hope. This could be the turning point of everything. “Yes, but what if this is a trap? Cedric’s handwriting…”" Sorry to interrupt you, your highness but I think you should forget about the recent events and focus on the new clues. The previous pointed to Cedric and we investigated him, nothing came out of it. If this points to another person, then we should investigate it as well, no matter how insignificant it may seem,” Ragi said."This handwriting is Mona's but it doesn't make any sense. She knows I would recognize her handwriting anywhere so if she's the culprit, why would she make such a silly mistake?” Styles asked. "We are going to get those answers once we bring her in for questioning. She will confess, I am positive,” Ragi told him. With Styles' permission, Mona was arrested shortly after. On a normal day, she would have shivered and screamed her innocence but this Mona was cold and unbothered.“Do you know why y

Bodies. Bodies. Bodies. The whole place was littered with bodies of human eaters. Ragi carefully stepped over their bodies and took a careful look at each of them. The plan wasn't to cause a massacre, but the deed had already been done. He walked around the camp, looking for a sign of life in any of them so he could ask the necessary questions. The cru of a baby startled him. "Check that out, quickly!" He ordered and the guards moved quickly to trace the cry. The baby continued crying nonstop until they finally found her lying in a wooden tray. Beside her were a lot of spices, vegetables, and other cooking materials.Disgust coursed through them. These women were indeed human eaters. They were probably planning to cook the poor child before the attack. One of them picked her up and tried to shush her but she continued crying. They returned to Ragi with the baby. "General, we found her in the kitchen. Do you think she is the Emperor's child? The guard asked as he presented the b

“Isn't she beautiful?” Ivory asked, gazing lovingly at the sleeping baby. Styles rubbed her shoulders gently. “Of course, darling. She is just as beautiful as her mother which is why you need to go to catch some sleep. You need a proper rest after all the stress she's put you through today,” Styles softly spoke. Ivory shook her head, “But I'm not tired. I will just watch her sleep for a little while.”“Honey, you haven't slept a wink since she disappeared. I thought your body would be more willing to relax now that she is safe,” Styles said to her. “Safe? I don't think so. It was in this very palace that she was taken from us, right under our noses. What are the chances that it won't happen again? I won't make the same mistake twice,” Ivory told him. He understood immediately where the problem was coming from. The PTSD from her baby's disappearance had a strong hold on her mind. Once again, he felt guilty that he couldn't prevent it from happening but he was going to fix all that

“Are you sure he knows what he's doing?” Archie whispered to Cedric as the artist worked on replicating the seal on the scrolls. “He's been taking hours.” “Hours to make it perfect, Archie. You know he needs to get every detail right because any slight mistake will give this scheme away,” Cedric responded. Archie eyed the artist skeptically before going over to see what he was doing. “He's still on the first scroll! I told you this man is a con. He doesn't know what he's doing,” he huffed and the artist looked up “I beg your pardon, sir. You shouldn't call me names or belittle me because of the time taken to complete my work, except you want to complete the work yourself,” the man spoke. “He has an attitude too,” Archie mumbled, walking away from him. Cedric chuckled at the exchange.“I told you to calm down, Archie. He knows exactly what he is doing.”“Fine, if you say so. He should hurry up though. We don't have all day. It's been almost three hours and he is still struggling t
