Beatrix opened her eyes to a familiar ceiling. She sleepily looked at the surroundings and smiled when she discovered that everything seems so familiar. She remembered that she married Prince Anders and she looked at the sleeping figure beside her... His arms protectively surround her, one of his legs overlapped her own. She let her eyes scan his handsome features... She is smiling contentedly until she saw a mole on his left chest! Her eyes widened as she finally realized who is the person beside her! She hurriedly rechecks her surrounding... Her small movements awake him so he sexily smiled and slowly opened his darker gray eyes!

"Good morning, Princess Beatrix!" He happily greeted her with a sexy and mischievous smile.

Beatrix screamed at the top of her lungs when she confirmed where she is and who is the person beside her!!!

Four people are kneeling in front of the Emperor and Empress inside the throne room. Beatrix never wanted to kneel in the first place because her entire body especially her intimate part is beginning to ache and feel weak now after the successive vigorous activity that she engaged last night. But since the three other people immediately kneeled and confessed what happened, she was forced to also kneel!

It will be awkward if I remained standing. They might say I am the culprit so I do not have a choice but to follow...

Beatrix silently thought during that time. The reason for this immediate gathering is the bride swapping that happened! Beatrix could almost not hold her extreme annoyance while hearing Princess Madeline's annoying cries and sobbing in front of the Emperor and Empress telling them or more likely, blackmailing them to give her justice, or else the face of the Cloud Empire will be challenged and the relationship of the two empires will be affected!

"Your Majesties, please give me justice! I do not know what happened! I am sure that I married Prince Andrew but when the night came, Prince Anders did it to me! I thought he is my husband so I allowed him to take liberties and the unspeakable things happened! What should I do now? What will happen if my Imperial Father and Imperial Mother heard about this? What will happen to the relationship between the two empires?" Princess Madeline said to the Emperor and Empress then cried nonstop.

Beatrix prevented herself from rolling her eyes and saying nasty comments!

Is that all you've got?!! Except for the insufferable scumbag, we are all victims here!!!

Beatrix angrily thought at that moment while Princess Madeline continued her complaining that goes around and around. She tried to remember everything that happened.

Last night, Princess Madeline and I were swapped! Anders was drugged while Princess Madeline was fooled because the two princes look similar to each other so they did it last night too... Just like me, they discovered the truth this morning that they did it with the wrong person! When did it happen? It was probably after the wedding ceremony because I am sure that it was Prince Anders who performed the wedding ceremony with me. I heard his voice and my parents are also there. They will never allow Prince Andrew to marry me so I am sure that I lawfully married Prince Anders! How did it happen? Only this shameless and hateful person knows!

Beatrix glared at Prince Andrew! She knew that whatever happened last night was planned and executed by this shameless, ruthless, and evil entity but sad to say, they all failed to see through his cheap plan! They failed to protect themselves and fell to his interwoven and elaborate trap! Her piercing glare was only ignored by him and continued to be silent.

"How do you plead, Prince Anders?" The Emperor asked Prince Anders after listening to Princess Madeline's complaint.

"Imperial Father, I am not guilty! Like her, I am also shocked by what happened! I did not mean it to happen! I also thought that I am doing it with my lawful wife, Beatrix. I am sure that I married Beatrix and entered our wedding chamber! It was not me who wrongfully entered. It was Princess Madeline who was in the wrong place at the wrong time!" Prince Anders tried to explain based on what he could remember.

"Are you saying that I deliberately entered the wrong wedding chamber and seduced you?!!" Princess Madeline retorted.

"I did not say that! I only want to say that someone made a cheap plan of replacing my bride and deliberately framed me! He framed and ruined all of us! There is only one person who will benefit in this situation and that is my Imperial Brother!" He explained and fiercely glared at his silent brother.

The Emperor whose head is beginning to ache asked Prince Andrew.

"How are you going to answer Prince Anders' charge against you, Prince Andrew?" He asked while massaging his brow.
