Episode 2: The Bracelet (2/1)

At night, when the court lady was preparing the bed for her highness, she noticed an unfamiliar wooden box hidden between the bed sheets.

Out of curiosity, she opened it and found a shimmering gold bracelet with different coloured diamonds attached to it.

Caroline's eyes begun to sparkle as she thought of how much it could be worth. She thought about how she would be able to pay for his son's treatment if she sold it...

"Caroline, what are you doing with my bracelet..?"

Enquired the princess who had just entered the room.

Caroline quickly gazed behind as she heard the princess's voice.

"Oh! Your Majesty! I was only looking at it...as it seems quite unfamiliar.." Caroline replied curiously.

"Oh, I must have forgotten to tell you..! Actually, father gifted it me. He said that it used to belong to my late mother!" The princess said delightfully.

"In that case, it must be very special to you, right?" Caroline responded.

"Yes, it is! It's very special to me...you know, this bracelet is the first thing ever that I own that belonged to my mother...! I can't express how happy I am!" Said the princess with glimmer in her eyes.

Caroline noticed the elated expression the princess had. She smiled and carefully closed the wooden box as she shook away all the negative thoughts she had earlier.

"In that case, would you let me keep this treasurable jewelry safe for your Majesty?" She said faithfully.

"Yes, please do!" The princess replied "It's very special to me...and I want to treasure it for the rest of my life...!"

Caroline secured the wooden box with the bracelet inside a locker in a hidden room which was located on the top floor of the castle where no one was allowed to enter except for the princess, the king, and the court lady.

Everyday she would go upstairs and into the hidden room to check on the bracelet.

The princess had decided to only wear the bracelet on the queens anniversary.

A week went by and Caroline's worries for her son had increased...she started to feel uneasy. She ways felt afraid that she wouldn't be able to manage her son's treatment fees before the month passes.

As her worries started to grow, a letter from her daughter, Amanda turned those worries into terror and trauma.

It said that her son's health has worsen and he needs to get treatment as soon as possible...! The poor boy no longer possessed the energy to walk and had to spend all his days under a blanket. He started to suffer from unbearable headaches and had completely lost his appetite towards food...

Caroline burst out crying as she read the letter. She felt helpless...she feared losing her only son.

The only person who she could ask for help was...the princess, but as she did not wanted to make her worried, she wavered...and decided to keep it a secret.
