98: One step

A few hours earlier~

The weight of Princess Ameera's gaze was like steel which Tamira held in her hands. She turned her head to the king. Wondering how it was Javier found out about the dimly lit flame of love that sparkled between her and the demon princess. 

Tamira swallowed the lump in her throat. Her heart beating so loud like a thief caught red handed in the act. Cold sweat formed in her temples and some trickled down her back. 

The gown suddenly felt tighter, with no space for her to breath. The air around her was too difficult to inhale and the ones inside strenuous to exhale. 

She held her breathe. Wishing the ground beneath her feet would open up and swallow her whole. 

Queen Tamira vividly caught a glimpse of her future if her secret was to be disclosed to the world. The ton would demand her to be beheaded.
