The Cursed Prince's Strange Bride

She didn't do it, but she couldn't remember anything? How was she going to defend that? Susan wondered.

"This is a very serious issue. That's why you are locked here, and now that you are awake, you will be tortured until you confess."

"Not that. Harold. How serious is his wound? Is he going to be fine?" She asked fearfully. She didn't want anything to happen to Harold.

Although she wanted to get out of this place, leaving this dungeon would be meaningless if anything happened to Harold. How would she live in this place and time without Harold? She couldn't.

"Is that what you should be worrying about right now?!" Susan scolded.

"I know he is your husband, but this is a very serious issue. You are probably going to get killed before Harold wakes up, and if that happens, do you know what this kingdom is going to turn into? You have to save yourself first." She sounded annoyed, but she knew this was not the time to be angry. She sighed and began to speak quietly.

"Prince Harold will be fine. Alvin has been with him the entire time, and the royal physicians have been working to make sure he is okay. Now you have to think about what happened on that night. If Tyra was awake, she would have told us what happened. But—"

"I can't remember!" Alicia cried. "I can't remember anything that happened that day. I am trying so hard but it feels like my head is going to fall off," Alicia said, close to tears.

"That day? Or night?" Susan asked with a slight frown.

"I have no memory of the entire banquet day. I only remember what happened the day the first guests were welcomed," Alicia said in a shaky voice, and Susan frowned.

"How is that possible?" She asked with a frown as she looked at Paulina, and as usual, Paulina was crying quietly.

"Do you own any daggers with a crescent moon on the handle?" Susan asked quickly and looked behind her one more time.

Crescent moon? Alicia thought about it. She remembered the daggers she had bought when she went out with Harold to the market.

She was about to nod when she felt a splitting headache and an unfamiliar scene of Harold handing her the knife.

"You left it in my chamber. Keep it beside you tonight," She heard Harold's voice in her head and groaned as the headache tore through her entire body, almost making her lose consciousness.

"Princess Amber!"

"Milady!" Susan and Paulina called out in worry while Paulina rushed to hold Alicia.

"Are you okay?" Susan asked with a concerned frown, but Alicia was still holding her head.

"It's her head," Paulina said tearfully.

Seeing her that way, Susan was very worried. And as much as she wanted to stay and find out as much as she could from Princess Amber, she had to leave. Just then, the first bell rang for the night.

"I... have to go now. You have to try to think of something. You don't have time. I will also try to find whatever I can."

She stood up and picked up her lamp. She hesitated when she saw Alicia was still wincing from pain while cradling her head and Paulina was patting her back and comforting her.

"Take care of your mistress. I will see what I can do." Susan said with regret before she hurried out of the place.

Susan could not stop thinking about how everything turned out this way. One minute they were preparing for a banquet, welcoming guests and planning stupid weddings, and the next minute, people were dying and getting hurt.

Beth had been stabbed repeatedly as if whoever had done it was a monster. Even for werewolves, the sight had been too much for them. Beth's father was not taking it easy. What bothered everyone also was seeing how Tyra had also been stabbed twice. Thankfully, hers didn't hit a vital organ, so she could survive it. Although she was still weak and unconscious since she was an Omega.

A human killing a werewolf was something the Moon Kingdom could not overlook, no matter who she was. And since all the important people of the Moon Kingdom were here, it didn't help make things easy for Princess Amber.

What they still could not understand was how a HUMAN had been able to hurt their kind. It didn't make any sense to her. No matter how much she thought of it, there was no way Princess Amber could have killed Beth or hurt Tyra.

Although she was stubborn and always causing trouble, this wasn't something that someone like her would do. Princess Amber, who had encouraged the royal ladies to feed their maids and had stood against Prince Ivan for hurting his own wife, could not do something like that.

Believing that Princess Amber was innocent wasn't enough. She needed to find a way to prove it, and it didn't help that Princess Amber couldn't seem to remember what had happened.

Susan was distracted by her thoughts as she opened the door of her chamber, and she jumped back in shock when she saw someone inside.

Thankfully, it was Williams. "You scared me!" She said as she let out a breath of relief and shut the door behind her.

"Where have you been?" He asked, eyeing her suspiciously.

"I decided to take a stroll," Susan lied as she walked past Williams.

"Where? I looked around the courtyard and everywhere," Williams said, and Susan sighed, knowing that there was no need to lie to him.

"I went to the dungeon," she said, and Williams looked at her with wide eyes.

"How? Why? Didn't you stop me from going there, saying it was too dangerous?" He asked, and she sighed.

"It's different for you. Paulina is there, and everyone might misunderstand. If Father learns that you went there, it would make things worse. Besides, I'm better at sneaking around. And you wouldn't have been able to convince the guards to let you inside without alerting the queen." Susan explained as she sat on her bed and buried her face in her hands.

Williams sighed. Her first point was correct. Or maybe, all of her points were correct. She was right. As far as everyone was concerned, he had no reason to worry about Princess Amber, but Susan did since they were close. So it was safer if she went there.

"How are they? Were you able to speak with her? Is she awake now? Did she do it?" Williams asked as he went to sit beside her.

"They're not okay. Although she's awake now, she doesn't seem to remember anything that happened that day," Susan said as she looked up at him with sad eyes.

"That means she is going to be found guilty. Unless... we find a way to prove her Innocence."
