Aurora....Skyla dear, how are you?

Skyla....Am fine your majesty.You look pale, are you sick?

Aurora.....Not really, dont worry about me.

Skyla.....Okay, if you say so.

She did her work and went home, she became good friends with Aurora and started liking her because she was a good person.

Skyla....The queen is not part of what happened to my family, she is so sweet and nice and she loves and cares for everyone.But who is the real culprit here? Am sure its Solo.

She continued working but the queen became very ill each day.

Skyla.....Your highness, you need to see a doctor, your condition is critical.

Aurora.....I dont want to worry my people.

Skyla....Okay, but a doctor can come and treat you from here.

Aurora.....Your right, but i feel very weak now.

Skyla....Since its my duty to protect and serve you, i ask your highness to let me stay in the palace and look after you.

Aurora.....Really? You will do that for me?

Skyla....I will, your a nice person and i also dont want your people to worry yet am here.

Aurora....Your such a sweet girl honey, am grateful to have you by my side.

Skyla.....My pleasure.

Simon.....Excuse us, i need to talk to my wife.

Skyla.....Okay sir.

Skyla left but she didnt go far, she stayed to eavesdrop their conversation.

Simon.....Am so sorry that your in this state.

Aurora.....I will be fine, dont worry.

Simon....Now who is going to rule and give orders when your sick?

Aurora.....Ofcourse Solo.

Simon....But his not of the right age yet, why dont you let me help you for now as you recover?

Aurora.....Good idea but dont do anything without talking to me first.

Simon.....Come on, dont you trust me? Am your husband.

Aurora.....I cant easily trust you after you did.

Simon.....Not again with that, come on, its in the past.

Skyla heard everything, James found her and pretended to be guarding the room.

James.....Skyla, hy.

Skyla....Hy James.

James....Am here to see my mum.

Skyla.....She is still talking to her husband.

James.....I see, so, how are you doing?

They went outside.

James.....Am sorry to say this soon but, Skyla...i like you.

James....Its okay, you can take your time and give it some thought.

Skyla saw Solo coming their way.

Skyla....Its fine, actually, i like you too.

James....You...do? For real?

Skyla....Yeah, i do.

James kissed her, Solo saw them and he went back angrily, when Skyla saw him leaving, she pushed away James.

Skyla.....Sorry, lets take things slow.

James....Okay, i understand.How about we go on real dates?

Skyla.....Sorry but i have a busy job and i have to take care of her highness, she needs now than ever.

James.....I get it, i will be patient.I should go and check on her.

Skyla.....Sure.

James left.

Solo.....(I knew it! James is into Skyla but she cant even tell him that we used to date? Does she hate me that much? I need to get time and explain to her everything because in her eyes, am her enemy.)

Skyla moved in the palace the next day and she was given a room next to the queen's, she brought a professional doctor.

Skyla.....Your highness, this is the doctor who is going to check up on you and find out about your illness.

Aurora....Hy doctor, thanks for coming.

Skyla....I will excuse myself.

Aurora....Thanks dear.

She went to her room, the doctor did his job.

Doctor.....Your highness, the results will be out this evening, excuse me for now.

Aurora....Okay, thanks alot.

The doctor left, he met with Skyla.

Skyla.....So, what is her illness?

Doctor....She is poisoned.

Skyla....Poisoned? What?

Doctor....I think she is feeding on this poison everyday and if she keeps taking it, she will die.

Skyla.....What? So that means someone wants her dead?

Doctor.....Obviously!

Skyla....When you come back, give her something to help her get well but dont tell her that she is poisoned.

Doctor....Why?

Skyla....I have to first find out who wants her dead, she will be worried.

Doctor.....Your right, i will tell her that she has Stage 2 lung cancer and she has a chance to heal.

Skyla....Good idea, thanks Henry.

Doctor....Okay, later Skyla.

The doctor was her friend, he left and later came back with antidots and lied to her about her illness.Skyla went to the kitchen.

Skyla.....Who is in charge of the queen's meal?

Chef....Me.

Skyla.....From now on, i will do that.

She walked away but she had put voice recorders in the queen's bedroom.Simon went to her.

Simon.....Who the heck does your bodyguard think she is? She is now in charge of preparing your meals? What deos she even know about cooking?

Aurora...Why are you angry about it? Its not like she will doing it for you.

Simon.....You should fire her, she is crossing the line.

Aurora.....When you crossed the line and murdered that innocent pregnant woman, who accused you, huh? Answer me!

Simon.....I told you never to talk about it ever again.

Aurora....Until this day, you never even tried to look for that innocent yet Solo is hurting and blaming himself for the mess you caused, your not even sorry.

Simon.....I wish you....you...

Aurora....I what? Die? Say it!

Simon walked away but Skyla heard everything.
