I felt cold, tired, and starving.

I never thought I had been trapped and like being a prisoner of the enemy.

Furthermore, I never thought that the plan I had thought of would not go as I expected, this was all difficult for me.

Now I hope that my enemy, Adrian, can save me soon, even though I also think about his seriousness in marrying me, whether it's true or not, my heart keeps questioning it.

I feel weak, hungry, and very thirsty, I feel sick, but the people around me just look at me with pity, like they can't do anything for me.

This large kitchen has now become quiet and everyone returned to their respective rooms to rest.

Now it's just me alone, and I can feel my body getting weaker and suffering with the decisions I have made myself.

Suddenly, I noticed that my surroundings became blurry and darker, without a clear image in my vision, I was getting weaker.

And I feel weak and lose consciousness.

“Carolina!”

Suddenly, I heard a man screaming my name, it turned out to be Adrian, who had just returned from the great war.

“No, stay away from me!”

Adrian didn't pay attention to what I said, and he kept running and caught my limp and almost unconscious body.

“What happened to you? You look sick.”

“This is all because of you, stay away from me!”

“Is this all my fault? I don't know where I went wrong, if I have a mistake, please forgive me.”

Adrian continued to hold me tightly and called several servants to summon a healer who would treat me.

As well as he called numerous other maids to face him.

The servants in the Alvarez kingdom were trembling with fear, it could be seen from their pale faces and their profuse sweat when they were in front of their king.

“What happened to my fiancé? Why can she be sick, pale, and limp like this? If you don't answer honestly, I will not hesitate to execute all of you until nothing is left!”

“The person who made Princess Carolina sick is Queen Ellen, she forces her to do all the work in this palace, without giving her any food and drink, or warm clothes for this current winter.”

“Then you all keep silent, for the torture that has happened to her?”

“No, your Majesty, it's just that Queen Ellen keeps threatening if we don't obey her command.”

“You are all cowards! I fire you all, get out of my kingdom, or I will immediately execute one by one of you.”

The maids were frightened, and they immediately ran in droves to leave the Alvarez kingdom, as if they were all terrified of their king and did not dare to oppose him.

Because Adrian did look serious, and he didn't mess with all his orders.

Suddenly, he looked at me very seriously, than he immediately picked me up.

“Where do you want to take me?”

He was just silent and kept holding me until we finally arrived at his room, and he immediately laid me down on his comfortable bed.

I also see Queen Ellen is there, and she looks so panicked.

“Mom! What did you do to my fiancé?”

“You said what would I do to your fiancé? I put my best foot forward when facing an enemy like her, I would exterminate her and banish her from our kingdom.”

“I don't care! I'm madly in love with her and I will soon marry her! My decision is inviolable and no one is allowed to oppose me!”

“So you want to fight me? You will regret it after this! Even if you expel me, our kingdom will be divided, and cause many enemies will win and attack us more and more, you must remember that!”

“I don't care, I am the strongest Alpha King and can beat anyone, I banish you from my Kingdom, Go and don't bother me anymore!”

“Well, if that's what you want, but you'll have to wait and see, you'll regret your decision.”

Even though Queen Ellen is still queen in the Alvarez kingdom, Adrian still moved his mother to another castle, I started to think if he was serious about marrying me.

What I want now is for me to be safe and carry out my plan smoothly, even though it is accompanied by the obstacles I face to defeat Adrian.

Then the healer immediately came to treat me, and unexpectedly I felt stronger than before after drinking the potion that he has been given to me.

“Princess Carolina, is weak and sick because she kept working hard without stopping and eating nutritious food, I gave her some potion and I hope she will soon recover from her illness after drinking it.”

“Thank you so much, after she has recovered, I will marry her soon, I can't wait to make her my wife.”

Adrian said with the healer, and he kept looking at me, I felt strange and disgusted actually with his loving gaze on me.

Because I completely considered him my enemy, nothing more.

“You can lie down in my room, for now, because you're sick, so I'll take care of you.”

I nod and pretend to remain passive and obey all his commands which irritates me, I don't want to be restrained like this by him.

“I have also brought some dresses and jewelry for you to wear, I hope you like them, you can change your clothes now.”

“However, I still feel weak and not strong enough to stand up because of the dizziness.”

Adrian held my hand tightly and rubbed it, every time he touched me, I always felt a different touch than I had ever felt before.

“Do you want me to help you wear all those beautiful dresses?”

“What? Hell no. I can do it myself, I just want you to turn around while I'm changing and don't look back until I'm done.”

“Well, if that's what you want, my beautiful girl, I will oblige you.”

I quickly changed my clothes as fast as I could, so Adrian wouldn't see me because I would feel so awkward if he kept looking at me like his prey.

After changing my clothes, I immediately called him, and he immediately turned around with a face full of amazement behind his handsome face when he looked at me.
