Once Wyatt left, Josie entered into the room to see a disoriented Isabella standing at the corner of the room, lost.
"My lady, what happened?" Josie asked as she rushed forward to help her.
"Why are you here? Go get me a blanket!" Isabella ordered, trying to cover her chest as Josie nodded and rushed to get the blanket.
"What happened? Did the prince do this to you?" Josie asked wrapping the blanket around her as Isabella clenched her fist in anger.
"Why are you here?" Isabella asked, avoiding her question.
"You asked me to follow Prince Ryan." She replied.
"And what do you have?" Isabella asked as she made herself comfortable on the bed, even though her heart was still beating fast from what had happened earlier.
"The guards are not allowing anyone to meet the princess, not even the queen and I overheard the queen and Ryan talking about the bethroal of the prince and Iris and the king really seems to hate Iris, he doesn't want to believe Iris as the real princess since the real princess of Utopia died many years ago." Josie explained.
"So what you're trying to say is Iris might be a fake?" Isabella asked, laughing.
"I'm not quite sure my lady it hasn't been proven." Josie tried to explain.
"It doesn't have to be, as long as we put it in Iris' head that she's a fake then she's a fake."
"I don't understand what you're saying?" Josie frowned.
"You don't have to, contact Joseph secretly and make sure he investigates everything under the death of Iris parents and till then spread rumors about Iris being a fake." Isabella ordered as Josie nodded and left.
RYAN'S QUARTER'S -
"You're awake?" Ryan said as he made his way for the bathroom.
"You didn't came back yesterday, where were you?" Iris asked, rising to her feet.
"I told you I was in the study, seems you weren't paying much attention." Ryan replied.
"Urm...I want to go out!" Iris said, fiddling with her fingers.
"No!" Ryan replied firmly as he opened the door of the bathroom.
"Wait! I won't leave, I'll come back...I promise." Iris said hurriedly.
"My answer still remains no besides you're pregnant, you can't just do what you want like before." Ryan shot at her as Iris clenched her fists, bowing her head to control her emotions.
"It's fine, I should never have asked." She said and headed for the door.
...
"Did you hear it too?" A maid asked her fellow person has the other lady shook her head.
"No! What is it?" The girl asked impatiently.
"The crown princess is a fake and she's only a commoner who seeks to be a royal." The maid said as the other girl gasped, attracting the attention of the fellow maids cleaning.
"I also heard that the fake princess stole the locket and it's not really hers." She said.
"Really? Could the princess really say that, she seems nice?" A girl asked, unsure of what the maid had said.
