Ava's POV
Mum walked up to me and at first she was silent she didn't say anything she was just staring at me.
I tried to read her mind. The only thing I could read was I pray it works.
"I pray it works" that was what I kept hearing.
"I said it!! I knew that she can't just be suddenly acting nice,I know she was up to something" I thought.
"Ava!!!" She called.
"Mum!!" I replied curiously.
"Please Ava, I want to tell you something," she said.
"I'm listening ma" I replied.
"Please Amelia!! There is something I want you to do for me and promise me you would do it for me??" She asked.
"Mum, I promise" I replied and I already knew what she wanted to say.
"Please I want you to go to the bush and pluck leave for me. I have one of my friend that is very sick and I will need the leave to heal her" she said.
And I didn't know when a smile escaped my lips.
"She actually thought I wouldn't know that it was the king that she wanted it for, they said he was sick that he wanted to use the medicine for" I thought and a smile escaped my lips.
"I pray it heals the king" that was what I heard her thinking.
And the only king I know that was sick is the king in Tamara's kingdom that lady told me about yesterday.
"But mum!!!" I said.
"Don't But me, just run to the bush now and get it for me" she said and walked out of the kitchen.
Unknown POV
He ran towards me and suddenly held my hands.
"Leave my hand alone!!!" I said and cried out.
"Please let me help you and take revenge on this people. They are really wicked and they really need to face the consequences," he said.
"How?? How did you want me to believe you were not sent by the queen" I asked him curiously.
"By the queen??" He asked me again.
"Yes!!" I replied and nodded.
"No!!! I was not sent by anyone and I have my reasons for helping" he said.
"No!! No!! I don't trust you,I don't trust anyone in this palace...this palace is deadly and there is no one to trust again" I said.
"Hey!! Listen to me and trust me,I saw you that day while you were coming out of the prince room,I knew about how he took advantage of you and abused you and I know how you feel.immediately when I saw you I knew that was what you were thinking and I know you want revenge" he said.
"What??" I spilled out unknowingly and gazed at him the more.
"You mean you saw me??" I asked him again.
"Yes!!" He nodded and hot tears spilled out of my eyes.
"I decided to help you so we can work together because I also have my own reasons which are known to me" he replied and smiled.
"What reasons? '' I asked and wiped my tears.
"It's a secret in this palace and no one knows except a few people," he replied.
"Please tell me because I also have a few things to tell you about the queen and her devilish act" I said.
"Don't worry,we will talk about it later. I need to catch up with something," he said and walked away.
Prince Liam's POV
I waited for Edison again so I could hear the news about the healer brought to the palace to heal the king, and after a while I heard the sound of the door.
"Edison!!! Edison!!" I called.
"My prince, I'm here," he said.
"Edison,how many times have I warned you to stop calling me prince huh??" I asked.
"I'm sorry, my prince," he replied again.
"Oooh so sorry" he said.
"My name is Liam,call me Liam" I said and tried smiling.
"So how was it?? Did you hear any news about the king" I asked him curiously.
"Yes!!! But I'm sorry it is bad news" he replied.
"Omg!!" I screamed.
"I thought these people were new healers and they were supposed to be able to heal him," I said.
"No!! They said the king's condition is out of control and they can't heal him" he replied.
And I felt my heart hurting me,it's so devastating to hear this type of news.
"I'm so sorry my prince you will have to calm down,I pray the next healer heals him" he said and I nodded in faith.
"Thank you Edison" I said and tried smiling.
"You are welcome," he replied.
Prince Edward's POV
I sat down in my mum's room waiting for her, and I was becoming impatient because she had wasted my time already.
And after a few minutes she walked out from the restroom and walked towards me and sat beside me.
"Hey!!! What is happening??" She asked.
"Mum!! What did you mean??" I asked her back.
"I mean why haven't I seen you in the palace for the past three days??" She asked.
"I'm so sorry mum,I was with my friends enjoying myself," I replied.
"Enjoying yourself??" She asked.
"Yes mum!!" I replied and nodded.
"Have you heard about your father's sickness?" she asked.
"Oooh!! That,I heard" I replied and hissed.
"Anyways!!! Get ready and start acting like a king because in a few months you will be the king of this kingdom" she said.
"Is he dead already?" I asked her
