After the discussion with his mother, prince Sebastian went back to his quarters in good spirits. Who would not be happy to know that they had the love and protection of their mother?

    All his life he has watched as the woman treated him so indifferently. She even acts more warmly to Julia and the king''s other child than himself. He would never have guessed that the Queen only acted that way to get close to them and protect him any way she could.

    He laid on his bed and for the first time, he had a good night''s sleep without the nightmare. Maybe it was because he now understand why he had always seen the princess as the light in his darkness. She is indeed his sunshine, he was not wrong to give her that name in his heart.

    He did not dream of the beast eaten him up the whole. There was a cure and surprisingly it was not so out of reach. He woke up early that morning with Jeffrey''s knock on the door.

    "Your Highness, it is time," Jeffery said before pulling the door open. Prince Sebastian got up and put on his robe.

    The two men left the prince''s chamber without saying a word. Jeffrey pulled open the door to the darkroom for the prince. The prince walked in and Jeffery shut it without going in.

    "You are courting death," Jeffery said to One who thought he had hidden himself well. Last night his curiosity had gotten the better of him, so he wake up before the first light of the day to check the maid he had kept in the darkroom.

    When he walked down the stairs, he ensured that his steps were light. So that no one would notice his presence. He stays behind the door and listens.

    He heard the even sound of her breathing, which indicated that she was sleeping and fine. So he walked away, thinking that for the first time, someone was going to come out of the darkroom alive. He had just taken few steps when he heard the prince light footstep so he hid behind the pillar.

    How on earth did Jeffery know he was hidden there? Jeffery was not called the prince shadow for anything. He was almost as capable as the prince.

    "I am sorry, I just got a bit curious," One admitted his wrong. "Why is the prince visiting her?" One asked. Although he asked a question he was set to walk away knowing that Jeffery will never tell something that was meant to be a secret.

    "She tried to harm the Princess," Jeffery answered the question. He felt that one was being too careless with the way he treated the princess. So he decides to tell him as a warning to  treated the princess with respect.

    One was no fool, he got Jeffery''s massage. The prince had put him in charge of his wife''s security. He needed to be careful. One nodded his head and immediately walked away.

    Inside the darkroom.

    Prince Sebastian looked at the figure that was sleeping peacefully. "Wake up," he whispered but he intentionally allowed his voice to come out with a force that slapped the sleep away from Biel''s eyes.

    The maid got up with feat feeling her body aching as though she had been flogged all over her body. She looked around but the room was dark like it was the first time she stepped in. She could not see the man that was standing a few feet away from her, but she definitely felt the pressure of his gaze.

    "Who sent you?" Prince Sebastian asked. Biel  Was shocked hearing the question. She looked around but dam it was too dark to see. The prince''s eyes were already blood lost. The beautiful blue eyes that comforted the Princess so much, was gone.

    His eyes were ready and there was nothing handsome about his face. The beast wanted to come out and prey on the figure not far from it.

    Prince Sebastian could see the look of confusion in the maid''s eyes. "I will ask for one more time, who sent you to harm the Princess," Prince Sebastian asked again. His voice was low, that if one was not careful, he will miss the anger and threat under it.

    "I.. I...," the maid broke into a cold sweat. She might have missed the voice the first time but this time she was as sure as hell that it was the crown prince that was standing in front of her.

    "How on earth did I get caught?" Biel felt speechless. She was so careful. Although she had thought that the Princess suspected her that morning but she had eaten the food that morning. Besides what she mixed in the water was not something that will show any form of reaction.

    Her face lost all colors but she closed her eyes and composed herself.    Luckily the place was dark and so Biel was foolish to think the prince could not see her. She swallowed and when she talked this time spoke with confidence.

    She got on her knees and bowed her head. "Your highness, I have done the princess no harm," she said.

    Prince  Sebastian looked at the maid and shook his head. He hated people who pretend the most. How could she look at him and lie to his face? He had clearly seen the guilty and fear in her face a few moments ago and suddenly she dare to act innocent. How brave, the prince was outrage.

    He did not like it when someone tries to make a fool of him. He was about to attack her when he realized that the maid could not see him.

    So he clapped his hands and murmur some words to himself. All the oil lamps on the war immediately light up.

    Biel took a deep breath of relief. Seeing that the prince light up the place. In her mind, she had passed the taste. Maybe I should join the entertainers and travel to different kingdoms acting in their drama, " she praised her acting skills. She bite her lower lips to hide the smile that was trying to show on her lips.

    Now that the place was bright, she needed to be more careful with her actions.

    " Raise your head, " the prince commanded in a flat tone. He was done trying to get the answer from her nicely.

    Biel looked up as instructed. She saw the prince reaching out to take off his mask and her Jaw dropped. What was he planning to do? Does this mean all the workers under the crown prince know what he looked like? She subconsciously held her chest to calm her raising heart.

    She could only imagine how much gold she will get, for linking the information to the person that sent her. She was so proud of herself. The danger comes with a lot of benefits, she thought to herself as the prince dropped his hand.

    Biel gaps unconsciously. The man before her was beyond handsome. He was beautiful. How could a man be this beautiful?

    Although his face looked a little pale because it has been covered for so long but this did not may him any less Charming. His long eyes lashes, and define jaw like. Not to talk about his fine nose. This man was beautiful and will shame a lot of women who pride themselves in their beauty.

    "What is this? " Biel asked herself. The crown prince is rumor to be a beast. How did he turn into such a fine man? Ahh! A blush rose on her cheeks. She could not stop it no matter how much she bite her lips.

    If given the chance she would have dared to run her hands on that face. A man like this was a blessing to any woman who found favor in his heart.

    Prince Sébastien was the least bothered about her reaction. He closed his eyes as he let the beast take over. The person before him was no longer human in his eyes but a meal that will soon be eaten by the guest living inside him.

    Biel felt a sudden force pulled her eyes to the prince, she was looking at him straight in the eyes. She tried to close her eyes since she suddenly felt scared looking at those deep blue eyes but she could not.

    Her eyes were glued to him and she watched how those beautiful eyes turned red and bloodlust. Her face froze as the other part of his face began to change.

    Biel wanted to beg the prince to stop but her throat was dried. She felt frightened. "am I going to meet my death today," Biel asked herself.

    Some people cry when they are scared, others shout for help. A few try to run and save themselves. The brave one tries to fight back but Biel in her case she could do nothing but watch in horror.

    Not even her fingers cooperate with her. She was frozen like ice that was ready to melt. The beautiful man who made her blush uncontrollably a moment ago was now...

    Biel could not give him a name. Her brain seems to have frozen just like her body.. It could not even put together the image before her.
