Back to the palace

As Steve closed his eyes to sleep, his mind went to how he was ruthlessly abandoned in the orphanage home by his parents along with a little girl. 

He turned and looked at the little girl who he was left with who had grown to be a budding beautiful woman. Anna opened her eyes and met his black eyes which was very much identical to hers.

"You need to rest," she told him with concern.

"Hmm," he hummed and closed his eyes with a sigh.

Rose remained calm despite the familiar storm of very strong emotions brewing on her mind as she stared at her stepmother dressed as a queen with so much elegance and pride when she was clearly in a position that wasn't hers.

She was in a position she most likely stole from her mother. She looked at her suspiciously. A lot of people benefited from her mother's death but from among them all, the Queen benefited the most.

She was definitely a suspect.
