302 Bitter queen (1)

It did not take long before the news of Alicia being a witch spread all over the palace like wildfire.

It was the subject on the lips of every aristocrat within the palace walls, and even the maids and guards were not left out. 

Some of the servants who had experienced Alicia's kindness in the past refused to believe that someone as nice as she was was a witch, while some others thought it made sense that she was a witch. 

They believed that only a witch could have the sort of boldness she possessed and even win the heart of a fearsome person like Prince Harold. 

However, regardless of the rumour and the Queen's order for the activities to resume as usual in the palace and for the kitchen chefs and maids to prepare a meal for them, none of them dared disobey Harold's orders.

Bewitched or not, they all feared Prince Harold and would rather face the Queen's wrath than prince Harold's wrath.
