Katrina screamed out in pain as another whip landed on her back. She bit her lips as she tried to suppress the tears in her eyes. Everyone around her had betrayed her, and no one, not even the new head Daniella, whom she trusted, had come to her aid. When it was confirmed that the king was poisoned, she was grabbed like a thief and slapped across the face by Alisha.
"You pathetic omega!" Alisha had shouted at her and ordered her to be taken away. She was dragged out by the guards and taken to the cell. The other maids were investigated in front of her, and they all denied ever preparing the king's meal.
"It was Katrina who prepared the king's meal! I didn't know that she bears grudges against the king. If I had known, I would have chased her out. "Daniela, whom Katrina trusted the most, lied against her when she was called in first."I thought she was different and her innocent face didn't make me realize that she was a bad person!"
