A Dead Body Beneath Me

(At the Fire kingdom)

Cameron looked at the woman crying in front of him and asked her what was wrong. The woman then told him that she found Farah lying on the floor in the royal hall, dead.

"What?" Carson asked before turning to look at his brother.

The woman wiped her tears. "While I was on my way to my room, then I saw her bleeding body on the floor..."

Cameron asked, "Julia, what If she killed herself?"

"It's impossible, your highness. She was stabbed from the back."

"Where is she now?"

"Her body has been disposed, your majesty."

Carson sighed, "I see. You may leave now. The King and I will talk about this first."

When Julia left, Carson told his brother that he suspected Timothy and Julia. The king then asked him why he suspected Timothy.

The prince answered, "I've suspected him from the beginning. He's been acting strange lately."

The king said, "That's impossible. Anyone could've killed her."

"Julia could've also been the culprit."

"It's Jay,"

"Why Jay?"

"I saw him kill Farah."

"So you knew all along?"

"Yes, she was killed approximately an hour ago."

"How'd he get in the castle?"

"He must've have hypnotized someone. He's really good at it. We'll have to tighten the security," Cameron replied.

Meanwhile...

(In the maid's room)

When the news of Farah's death got to Olivia and Eleanor, they were both left petrified. Eleanor then asked Olivia who she thinks killed Farah.

Eleanor suggested, "I think it's better if—"

Before she was able to finish her sentence, she suddenly felt pain in her heart. Olivia then asked her what was wrong.

Eleanor sat down on the wooden stool. "Check the gem."

Olivia then put her hand in the princess's chest and responded, "Eleanor, it's getting worse."

"What did you see?" Eleanor looked at the floor.

"The crack," Olivia said. "It got bigger."

"Didn't it heal already?"

"Remember that you got sick a few days ago? That must've been it."

"Will it still heal?" the princess asked with an anxious look.

"It will. Don't worry."

A few days later, Farah's mother came to the Fire kingdom.

"I'll give you a million bucks," Cameron began.

"I don't need your money. I want my daughter back!" she shouted.

"There's nothing I could do. No one anticipated this."

The old woman shouted, "You dare—"

"Guards, see her out," Cameron interrupted.

"Yes, your majesty," the guards obeyed.

"I have a lot of unfinished business, so if you would please excuse me, Mrs. Smith," the king said.

(In the Princess's bedroom)

Adam told the princess that Cole was found dead in a cave a few days ago. Kaycee then asked why he suicided.

Adam responded, "Leah and Aviana are both dead too. They died a few days before Cole did."

Cole, Adam's older brother, was the most hard working man you'll ever meet. He has a wife named Aviana and a daughter name Leah. They were found dead at the same place, but not at the same time.

The princess stood up. "I'll inform my brothers about this."

"No, don't. I don't want to give them trouble."

"How's that trouble? We're a family."

"Kaycee, I want to figure this out without asking anyone for help."

The princess folded her arms. "If you don't want to tell my brothers, then let me help."

"This will bring you trouble and I don't want that."

"All your troubles are my troubles."

"I don't want you to have a hard time," Adam stated.

Kaycee then clenched her fist and told him that she wasn't a child anymore and that he shouldn't be keeping things to himself.

Adam sighed, "I always trust you."

"Then let me help you," Kaycee said.

"I can't—"

Before he was able to finish, the princess instantly brushed her lips against his and begged, "Please, Adam."

Adam blushed. "Kaycee, we aren't married yet."

"So what? We'll be married soon." the princess giggled.

"Are you sure that you want to help me?"

"Of course. I'll do anything."

"Then I guess I have no choice but to say thank you."

"Anything for you, my love."
