As the king hovered above her, Karenina closed her eyes and held her breath in anticipation. She waited for the king to enter her.

Meanwhile, Nicholas, who had positioned his manhood on her fold and was ready to enter, suddenly froze with his eyes blurring the face of the woman below him.

Suddenly, this position brought back various memories of a woman. Flashes of memories of him being intimate with a woman came to the surface.

He remembered that woman's face was very different from the woman whose body he pressed on this time.

Scene by scene was playing in his mind like it was a movie trailer. At first, the memory showed a beautiful woman's face that looked flushed red.

Her brilliant blue eyes stared droopily at Nicholas, who was on top of her. She had this silly grin on her face. Their bodies were naked and covered in sweat. He could almost smell her alluring scent.

Gosh... she was so hot!

The memory changed onto the next one. This time, Nicholas saw himself kiss the blue-eyed woman inside a cave. She was smiling sheepishly and said something. However, he couldn't hear her voice.

Then, the memory changed again. Now, he was chasing after her in the forest. She laughed so sweetly. He saw her carrying a basket of berries.

In this memory, Nicholas saw himself and the woman were smiling and laughing. They both looked very happy. Nicholas didn't remember if he ever looked so carefree and without a burden like this.

The longer he closed his eyes and winced in pain, the more memories appeared. They came and went faster than before. His head was soon filled with a throbbing headache. It felt almost like his skull was going to burst.

"AAARRRGH!" Nicholas growled loudly.

The pain in his head grew more intense, and his growl made Karenina open her eyes in surprise. She touched his arm. "Your Majesty?"

The pain in Nicholas' head was getting worse. He got up from the bed and staggered to his feet. He clutched his head, trying to get rid of the pain, but it was futile.

And then, as if the pain he was feeling now wasn't bad enough, something happened.

Nicholas felt his body engulfed in flame. His internal organs were also burned as if a fire was burning him from within.

"AAAARGH!" He swayed back and forth and screamed in agony. His body staggered as he walked toward the balcony. With one punch, the glass door shattered into pieces and he stepped out.

"Your Majesty!!" Karenina was dumbfounded and was too late to react. When she climbed down the bed, Nicholas had jumped out over the balcony and disappeared into the dark night.

Karenina was confused and scared. Her heart pounded hard as she looked outside and tried to find the figure of the king, but she didn't see anything. Various questions popped up in her head and she bit down on her lip, looking so distraught.

"What... what happened to him...? Is the aphrodisiac supposed to do that?" Karenina shook her head in confusion. How could she claim to sleep with the king if Nicholas left just like that? She was this close to getting what she wanted...

Why did this have to happen????

p Tears stung her eyes.

She was already the fool who waited for five years, there was no way for her to turn back anymore. It didn't matter anymore even though Nicholas left before he could penetrate her.

Everyone knew that Karenina brought the king to his chambers. So, they would believe her if she stuck to her story, that she and Nicholas slept together.

"If Nicholas can jump over the balcony and disappear like nothing, he must be alright. The marriage still has to happen." Karenina muttered to herself.

Her mind quickly worked. She could take care of the king later and even have Noel go look for Nicholas if necessary.

Right now, she had to make sure that her marriage to Nicholas would happen.

"Even if nobody truly loves me, I'll still have the power to make sure I will get everything I want." Karenina already swallowed her pride and asked for her father's help this time. But once she was queen, nobody could ever lay a hand on her again.

Even if the thing she wanted didn't happen, she'd continue with her plan.

Karenina walked briskly and unlocked the door. Then she went back to bed and curled up with her arms crossed over her chest. She looked so pitiful in that position. Her hair was messy, her face was covered in sweat and tears, and her body was naked with her dress shredded to pieces.

The next plan began.

"Help.... Heelpp...."

Karenina sobbed and screamed hysterically that a maid who happened to be passing by the corridor heard her cries immediately came over to check what was going on.

However, when she stood in front of the door, the maid seemed hesitant to open, because the room was the king's bedroom.

Who was crying in the king's chamber?

The maid thus refused to open the door and ran towards the ballroom. When she arrived, she immediately approached Queen Marianne, who was conversing with Viscount Verhovent.

"Your Majesty..."

The queen's attention was turned to the maid who called out to her. She was confused when she saw the tense expression on the maid's face.

"What is it?" asked Queen Marianne.

The maid looked at Viscount Verhoven. She looked visibly hesitant to say what she wanted to say to the queen.

"It's okay, just say it," said Queen Marianne who understood that the maid was reluctant to speak because they were surrounded by guests around them. "You can speak softly."

The maid was relieved. Then she said, "Your Majesty, I-I heard a woman's cry from His Majesty the King's chamber. Her voice sounded like Princess Karenina's. I wanted to check it out but I was scared, so I..."

She no longer waited for the maid to finish her sentence, Queen Marianne followed by Viscount Verhoven immediately walked towards Nicholas' bedroom.

Now you can have peace of mind... hahaha. Nicholas didn't penetrate Karenina because he suddenly got some of his memories back.

He would get more as time passed by and finally remembered Sophie completely.
