[Bonus chapter] A risk worth taking

Marcus and Reina fell asleep side by side with each other. After talking for the most of the night, they found themselves falling asleep. 

After they fell asleep, the midighters entered the room. They were dressed in black hoods that covered their faces. They took their places, all eight midnighters stood around the bed watching the two unsuspecting royals. 

"His love for the king must be removed," the one at the corner of the bed near Marcus spoke. 

"Then he will simply fall in love with the king once again," an old crooked voice let out as a reply to the first midnighter's suggestion. 

"Then what do you suggest?" 

"The only way to kill love is with a stronger similar emotion," the old crooked voice spoke once more. The person who spoke pointed her finger at Reina. 

All the midnighters turned their attention to the queen. They watched her sleeping peacefully, she laid her head on Marcus's shoulder while she slept.
