Chapter 306 Trouble Is Coming



Harvey looked at her for a moment before he shook his head. "She is not that type of person." He said quietly.

"I believe so too. And I don\'t think it\'s Queen Anne either. Since we agree it\'s not me, that leaves Princess Tyra, or whoever else might have been there that night..."

"We don\'t know if someone else was there," Harvey pointed out.

"So we are left with two options. Either Princess Tyra did it or she is protecting the person who did it. The fact that the maid was killed tells us that someone else is involved. I prefer to believe that Princess Tyra might have seen the person, and maybe she is too scared to say it," Alicia said confidently.

"Did you know of her romantic relationship with Damian?" Harold asked out of the blue, and her brows pulled together.

"Damian? The Queen\'s guard?" Alicia asked in disbelief, and even Harvey looked surprised to hear that.

"Yes. Susan told me about it," Harold said, and seeing her surprise, he could tell that she didn\'t know about it.

Alicia narrowed her eyes thoughtfully when she remembered how Tyra had shaken her head when she asked her if she didn\'t fancy anyone. Why did she lie to her when even Susan knew about it? Or did she not consider her a friend as she had thought?

"Then is it possible that the Queen knows about it?" Harvey asked curiously.

"I will speak with her again when we get back to the palace," Harold said. He had only heard about it from Susan and would need to speak with Tyra to know if the relationship was genuine or if there was something else there.

"I want to be there when you speak with her. Let\'s call the others in and tell them about everything so we can leave," Alicia said, and the look on Harold\'s face, told her he didn\'t like the idea. Harvey also felt the same way. This wasn\'t something simple.

Before either of them could say another word, Alvin slid the door open impatiently and walked in with a worried frown.

"What is wrong?" Harold asked, getting up immediately since he could tell from the look on Alvin\'s face and the way he had entered that there was trouble.

When Paulina also ran in immediately and looked at Alicia with a panicked look, Harvey and Alicia also stood up at once, and Alicia gave Paulina a questioning look.

"Damian is outside..." He paused. "And he is with company."

Harold narrowed his eyes and smiled, as though trying to suppress the burning anger he was feeling even as his wolf slowly began to resurface.

"They dared to disobey my orders." He said calmly.

But that was not all.

Alicia could hear different voices at the same time. There seemed to be an argument happening out there.

"He insists that the Queen and the court have ordered to bring Princess Amber in."

Alicia unconsciously stood behind Harold as her heart lurched to her throat.

No. She didn\'t want to be subjected to that torture again.

"She has been accused of deceiving the royal family and the Moon Kingdom," Alvin rushed to add when he noticed Harold was picking up his sword.

"How... did she do that?" Harvey asked with a frown while Alicia reached for the hem of Harold\'s shirt and held it. The anxiety she felt was so overwhelming that she felt she would pass out.

Alvin looked at her, unable to utter the words, as he looked at Harold.

"Say it!" Harold ordered. He hadn\'t spared Alicia a glance since Alvin entered, but he could feel her fear. He could surprisingly smell it all over the room and wondered if the others could.

"They said she is... not a real princess, and she is a— witch," Alvin said, and Harold ground his teeth in annoyance as he drew his sword, ready to go outside and deal with Damian, but Alicia grabbed him quickly by the arm.

"There is no reason for violence..." she said while looking at him with pleading eyes.

"If we let them take you... you will be killed," Harvey told her, and Alvin looked at them in confusion.

"Is it... true?" Alvin asked Harold, wondering what Harvey was talking about and why they didn\'t seem surprised or feel that was stupid just like the others outside believed.

"It is... more complicated than that," Alicia said, trying to be calm, and Alvin could not hide the surprise on his face.

He immediately looked at Harold, who gave him a defeated nod, and Alvin just stood there, stunned.

"Where are the others? I think it is time we returned to the palace. Ask them to give us some time. Harvey, please get the others. I think it\'s best they hear it from me first," Alicia said, and Harvey looked at Alvin.

"You can stay. I will get the others and speak with Damian," Harvey said before walking away, knowing that Harold would want to speak with Alvin.

When just the four of them were left, Alicia moved forward and stood in front of Alvin.

"I\'m sorry you\'re finding out this way. I was going to tell you about it just now," Alicia told Alvin apologetically while he looked at her, not knowing what to say.

"Did you know from the start?" Alvin asked Harold, who wasn\'t sure what he meant by "know from the start", but he nodded anyway since he had known about her witch lineage for close to two weeks now.

"She didn\'t hide anything from me," Harold assured Alvin.

Alvin couldn\'t believe that she was a witch or that she wasn\'t even a real Princess. No, maybe he could believe the part about her not being a real princess because she didn\'t act like the others did. But the part about being a witch? Was that why Harold\'s curse broke? Then what was the conversation he had overheard Princess Amber and Paulina talking about that day about her not being the \'real Amber\'? Was there more to this? Or did she take over the real Princess Amber\'s identity?
