"Your highness, this... " the man who was about to drag the princess called his attention when he noticed something was not right.

"What?" The prince was irritated. He did not understand why this guard could not obey simple instructions.

"Look, your highness," the guard remains standing not pulling the woman out of the room, so prince Elliott was forced, to look. He had no idea why the guard was calling his attention. He was sure that the man had not forced himself, on his wife as he could still hear the sound of pleasure that was coming out from her lips.

She never acted in such ways before, that this makes him less of a man. It highly angry the prince and he felt like he could die of angry.

"This? Prince Elliott was surprised when he finally took a look at the woman's face. This was not his wife.

" who's bed chamber is this?" Prince Elliott asked. He wondered if he had stepped into the wrong room but how was that possible. The room looked just like that of his wife.

Moreover, this room was large and only he and his wife had such a chamber in his quarter.

"It is the chamber of your highness wife," the guard replied. He could already tell that this was definitely a scheme to trap the princess. Now that the guard thought of it. When he arrived earlier this woman did not look ashamed at all. if anything she was trying to escape from the room.

So if he had not arrived stopping her everyone would have concluded that she was the princess. Nobody would have believed the princess no matter how much she had denied this.

If the guard was able to guess this, then prince Elliott naturally came to this conclusion. Moreover, they both recognized this woman as the princess's handmaid.

Prince Elliott was able to recognize her because she was mostly with his wife. She was a maid from Avalo. Unlike princess Ellen who was allowed to bring her maid from Bozoa, princesses Diana could not. As her marriage to the prince is a result of Avalo winning the war against her kingdom.

There was no father or mother to give out her hand in this marriage. Her entire family was slain by the Avalo army.

"Who sent you?" the prince asked directly. He did not bother to ask why she was in his wife's bed. He did not want her to have a way to lie to him.

The maid hearing his ice-cold voice, tremble in fear. She has seen firsthand how the prince was mean to his wife in the first year and she knew he would hit her without holding back. How did things turn out like this? The maid wonder in her heart.

A FEW HOURS AGO.

The maid had helped the princess get ready for bed. Princess Diana was used to taking a cup of tea every night before bed, so the maid handed her a cup of tea.

Prince Diana had collected it and sip quietly on the bed. The maid left her still talking a sip of her tea. Princess Diana did not have any special ability to know that something was wrong with her cup of tea.

It tasted normal and so she drank everything before going over to her bed to sleep. She could not understand why she started feeling tired a few minutes after she took her tea. At first, she thought she had tired herself out with the day activity.

She was about to sleep when she felt someone sneak into her room. Princess Diana became alert she would have shouted for help, as the person dressed suspiciously but her lips will not cooperate with her.

So she mouthed "Who are you? She could not see the person's face as she had a veil over her head. Grater walked over to the princess and seeing her reaction she was certain that princess Ellen was right and the princess before her was already falling for the trap.

" princess if you can hear me, you should leave this room. Sleep at your husband's chamber. There is a scheme to ruin your reputation," Grater patiently explained. Her love and loyalty for princess Ellen increase seeing that her efforts were what will save this woman tonight.

Princess Diana hearing the person's word did not doubt her. Her body felt tired and she realized that something was wrong.

"Help me," princess Diana tried to take hold of Grater's hand but failed. Grater looked at the woman. She could not be found out. She only came here to warn her as instructed by the princess.

The princess also warned her not to let anyone know this warning was from her, so Grater was hesitant to help princess Diana leave the room. But her warning will be in vain seeing that the princess would not be able to leave the room.

"My husband's chamber is not far from here please help me," princess Diana used all the energy left in her body to hold Grater's hand.

Grater decided to help her, luckily the prince could still move her leg after resting her body on Grater. They were just a few steps close to the door when it was pulled open by the maid earlier.

Grater and princess Diana were shocked. "what are you doing and who are you?" the maid was surprised. She had come to see if the princess was recasting to the leaf, she had added when blowing the tea for her. Only to find the princess trying to leave the room.

"come help us, the princess wants to go and sleep in her husband's chamber," Grater said. Grater knew that there was a chance that the maid before her was helping whoever wanted to ruin the princess's reputation but she had to play along in other not to get caught.

" Then why is she not walking on her own? " the maid asked looking at Grater but she could not recognize her.

"I fell a little weak, take me to my husband's room," Princess Diana said when she recognized the voice of the person before her. Princess Diana had treated all the maids and servants in this quarter nicely. She had no real power, so she had hoped to win their loyalty with her fairness towards them. So she never thought any of them will have the heart to hurt her.

"My princess, if you do not feel well, you should lay back in your room and rest," the maid said. She was unwilling to let her plans her ruined. After all, she knew the princess was feeling this way because of the special leaf she added to her tea. People who have difficulty falling asleep usually used it, to help them sleep. The maid had added just a little. It was not enough to make her sleep like the dead but it was enough to make her sleepy

Grater did not argue, the maid's attitude confirmed Grater's suspicion. She acted as though she consented with her, while in the real sense she was looking for something she could hit the maid with.
