Time will tell

"Good day everyone, welcome to Royal news international, also known as RNI. We recently received a call from king darin who informed us about prince andrien's wedding next month!, over to you Ken."

"thank you, Dora." he cleared his throat.

"Rumor has it that prince andrien is having a secret affair with one of his maids, according to a person in the palace-"

"and he or she said that her name is Annabelle Xavry. Now I would like to welcome Mr. Hadel, a prestigious Royal insider. Mr. hadel please tell us what you think about this complicated situation?"

The man sitting opposite them smiled evily.

"In my opinion, I think the prince's fiancee, Sandra, and also the maid mistress, should compete in the hand of marriage with prince andrien. Who knows if we may find our rightful queen in the process." Ken and Dora nodded and then faced the camera.

"We will leave it for king darin to decide, but what he should realize is that his decision not only affects him, but our kingdom as well." Dora stated neutrally.

"Stay tuned on RNI for more inside royal talks like these. Next up Ari-"

King Darin violently threw the remote at the television, causing it to damage and leave a crack.

"ANDRIEN! SUSAN! ANNABELLE! GET THE HECK HERE NOW!!!" he sat back in his throne in rage.

Shortly after, they all arrived at the parlour.

"Father what's the matter? and.." andrien noticed the cracked television.

"What happened to the tv?"

"Are you annabelle? the girl the guards took to the slave quarters?" He completely ignored his son and glared at her.

"I...yh.." She fidgeted her fingers. Would he take her back there if she told the truth?

"ANSWER ME!''

"I..I am" She replied in tremble, and then his eyes moved to andrien.

"Are you two having an affair?.." he asked in interrogation.

'So this was why he summoned us. That's not true at all, I have to say something. ' Annabelle spoke inwardly.

"No-"

"Yes we are having an affair. I'm just wondering how you found out." Andrien interrupted her truth, and she stood there watching him in shock.

"What?! How dare you do that to me!!" Susan pretended to be angry.

She didn't give a fuck about their affair. She had a single motive, To destroy this family and take over the kingdom.

"Silence!!" Darin's hand made a stop sign.

"Because your carelessness reached media, I've finalized something... Annabelle and Susan will compete in our second royal palace to become future Mrs. Andrien Antonio."

"I accept my king. Some maids must know their places in this Kingdom." Susan referred to annabelle rudely.

"And what about you annabelle? If you don't accept then I'm afraid I will have to ban you out of my kingdom for disgracing us publicly."

She swallowed hard.

Why would she compete with Andrien's fiancee for what she didn't do?.

This is an opportunity to finally exit this Kingdom, but as Noah asked..Where would she go to? When they kidnapped her, they blindfolded her eyes so she wouldn't see anything.

"I also..accept" Anna simply hoped she would lose and Susan would win so she would not become that cruel prince wife. She cringed at the thought of that.

"Yes sir it will.."

"better." He ended the call and started laughing like a maniac.

"time will tell darin.. time will tell."
