Chapter 4 New Enemies

• Dawn's pov
• I felt myself regaining consciousness and the white broad ceiling came into view.
• I batted my lashes getting rid of the blurry vision.
• I found myself on the bed and all covered up under the duvet.
• Whoa...
• Did Caroline bring me here? She's stronger than I thought.
• I drew upwards in a sitting position just staring around my new room - a room that shouldn't even be mine.
• gosh! This is too much to take!!
• I can't believe I fainted just at the mere thought that I would become the third wife to king Lee.
• It's just unimaginable and I pray I'd never see him till I come up with a way to escape from this place.
• Yeah...I'm going to run away.
• Even if I don't make it my mother, I'd go somewhere else. Away from this whole arrangement.
• I huffed and plonked myself into the bed feeling - home sick.
• I couldn't stop thinking of mom. We just have each other and now something's trying to break us apart.
• How cruel...
• A knock came upon the shut door and it took a minute before I replied.
• Solely written by Eunice Nwodu
• The door opened and Caroline walked in shutting the door behind her. She smiled seeing that I was awake.
• "My princess, you suddenly blacked out. I didn't alert anyone cause I thought maybe it was just stress from your travel" She stated clearly saying what she wasn't asked to say.
• I sighed and left the bed feeling a bit dizzy.
• "I want to go back to sleep. Don't disturb me till tomorrow morning" I ordered heading for the door I supposed was the bathroom.
• "But...your highness, it's time for the general dinner. I actually came to wake you up and help you get ready".
• I rolled my eyes. You've got to be kidding me right now.
• "What if I don't want to attend...?" I asked distractedly.
• "That would be a problem since the other wives are desperate to meet you" She muttered and I scoffed.
• "Will the king be there?" I asked stopping on my track..

• Alicia's pov
• "So, none of you saw her when she arrived?" I asked glaring at the maids.
• "No ma'am. She arrived so late and we couldn't leave our duty post to welcome her" One of them replied and I folded my arms.
• I gazed at them angrily.
• I decided to let the quest go since I would still meet her during dinner.
• She can't be that beautiful. I'm clearly the fairest in the land and thousands of ladies adore me for being so gorgeous and a queen.
• But if she becomes a pain in the neck, I'll put her in her place.
• `

• Dawn's pov
• Selecting a dress for the dinner was work itself and at last, I am ready.
• Caroline led the way while I followed from behind.
• I didn't know a single place here and I get the hunch that it'd take a quite a time for me to be settled in properly.
• We began going down the fleet of stairs. It was long and I wished I could disappear and appear at the end of the stairs but that's impossible.
• I'm only gifted with healing powers...nothing more.
• We arrived and I gawped at the two beautiful ladies seated on the seats facing their meal.
• I guessed they were pretty because of the outstanding make up on their faces but come to think of it.... isn't it bed time??
• Caroline pulled out a chair for me and I sat down adjusting the dress I wore. She exited the dining room leaving just the three of us.
• "Um...good evening" I greeted though it took a lot of efforts for me to blurt that.
• The woman with the blonde hair had her eyes on me as though she was checking me out.
• "You're the only princess sitting on this table so you know better than to greet us without respect!" She chided sternly and I rolled my eyes.
• What's her problem??
• *It's not like you're eating the greetings your highness* was what I was pushed to say but I didn't.
• I rather kept calm and uncovered my plate.
• I heard her scoff and began eating her meal.
• The pregnant lady whom I suppose was Simone didn't utter a word as she ate like a hungry lion.
• Pregnancy...
• See what it has turned her to.
• I pray king Lee hates me and sends me back or doesn't touch me at all.
• The thought sent shivers down my endocrine system.
• Oh Lord...please save me from this mess.
• Suddenly, I heard footsteps drawing near and I lifted my face to look.
• Could...could it be him???
• Luck was on my side as a little little girl walked in holding on to one of the maids.
• She's so adorable and cute.
• She must be the king's first child.
• "Mommy!" Her tender voice called and the grumpy woman looked at her.
• "Xenia. Come here dear".
• The little girl left the maid and raced to her mother and she carried her into her arms.
• Aww.
• I tried not to think so much about mom cause the more I did, the more I had headaches.
• I sighed and resumed eating ignoring my co. wives.
• So annoying!...
• The food was hot and tasted so good that I remembered that this was the most luxuriant meal I've ever eaten.
• Mom's food is the best but not at rich as this. I even intended to lick the plates after I'm done.
• Mmm...
• Suddenly, I felt cold water splash on me and i quickly stood up astonished.
• I stared down at the little girl holding a cup. She did this...
• How could she?
• She immediately ran back to her mother who took the cup from her with a devilish smirk.
• I took a long stare at my drenched dress before taking my eyes back to them.
• I'm going to murder someone tonight
