      After a long time of torture in the middle of the desert, it became my nightmare. Now, that I understand now that there is someone for me in this life who give me a daughter for his own selfish gain. I need to protect myself more and protect my daughter. I wake up full of sweat in my face and I stand up. I walk to look at the balcony realizing that I am back in England, not just in England, but again back in the palace. 

    I go out of the room and walk to the Queen's office wearing a hospital lab gown, but I did not find the Queen there so I ask the maid, "Where is the Queen?" The maid then seems to be scared of me and asks me to follow her. She brings me to the underground of the palace and knocks on the door. On the other side of the door, someone opens it and calls someone on his radio and they open the door. The guard salute to me and I ask him, "Where is the Queen? I need to talk to her ASAP." Then he said, "This way, your Highness." I am following him when my knees fall down and I started to cough blood again. "Are you alright, your Highness?" I wipe my face with my hands and said," Don't worry about me, I need to talk to the Queen." I tried to stand but I fall again, so, I allow the guard to carry and help me until I saw the Queen.

     When I saw her, I jump down in the hands of the guard to talk to the Queen and I said, "Your Highness, I need to talk to you." Then, when I was walking slowly and fall again, the Queen saw me and she said, "Are you alright?" I cough blood and said, "I am alright, your Highness." I look at what she was looking at earlier and I saw Olivia being tortured. I stand up again and walk to the bars of the cell and ask the guards to stop, "I command you to stop!" I said with authority but I cough again, "Mom, are you alright?" I heard Olivia say and I replied, "Yes I am." Then, I look at the Queen and said, "Your majesty, she is my daughter, Olivia, please *cough* let her go, whatever you ask her, she is telling the truth." The Queen then, look at me and said, "Alright, guards let her out. No one is allowed to touch her." They salute to the Queen's order and all the guards left leaving the Queen, Olivia, and I alone.

     I told the Queen everything that has happened to me after the live stream incident. I told her that I got kidnapped and tortured in the Philippines, saved by a grandmother and her son who lives on an island, and found out that I have a match who is the same as I and give me birth to my daughter without knowing it until now. I did not tell the part, where my own daughter torture me to death every day, but Olivia admitted it and she said, "I also, torture my mother to death everyday order by my father." 

     The Queen then sighed and said, "Oh, dear, I am sorry that you experience your worse again, but I promise you that, I will help you now and protect you and your daughter." I smiled at the Queen and said, "Thank you, your Highness. I will forever serve you with respect." After our conversation, the Queen asks the guards to carry me up, but I decline, I try to stand up with the help of the bar for me to hold but I cannot really walk. So, my own daughter carries me on her back and said, "Please mom, let those people help you, let us help you. You are not alone anymore." I hug her from behind as she carries me, and put me back in the bed, and the Queen and I talk again.

     "I apologize for bringing chaos in your country, Your Majesty." I said, "No, dear, it was them, those men who want to use you for their own gain. But, can I ask, do those men, know you are here?" The Queen ask I look at my daughter and she said, "For now, no your Highness, but we should still be careful as my father is really vicious." I think what his next move is and said, "I think, I know where he would go next your Highness, he would go to New York." I stand up in bed and walk again, I get some clothes when, Olivia said, "Why are you going to New York, mom?" "If he has already known who I am, I am probably sure, that he knows that I have a lot of people to care for. So, I have to go there to save a friend." "But you are in no condition, you are still weak. Let me do it, just tell me who is it." "I can handle myself, just stay here and never go out." 

     As I was about to go bathroom she said, "Are you going to save your lover aren't you, mother?" I stop at the door to look at her and the Queen and said, "I would, yes." Then, I walk again inside and change. Even after I change and am still weak, I go to the royal guard's armory and borrow some guns. I put it in a bag and I ask the Queen for a favor for me to use a private plane. Olivia insisted that she wanted to come with me, "Please mom, let me help you! Youwon't get out of there alive if they see you." I sighed and said, "Yes, maybe, they might get me, but I won't let them get you. You've already hurt so much and I don't want that to happen to you again." "But so did you. Look at yourself, you have scars all over your body and you might die down there." I walk towards her and put the hair, behind her ear, and said, "I will be alright, I promise." I kiss her on the forehead and board the plane.

    After the flight, the guards told me that they will guard me wherever I go. But before they finish their sentence, I put them to sleep and tie them to the chair. I go out of the airport with my identity, as Stacy Williams, and I ride the car prepared by the Queen and left. I first stop by in the computer shop, and I ask the owner if I could buy the shop. I give them ten million dollars for them to agree, as to add some reward, they could run this place as they like but if I needed to use it, they need to clear the store. They are surprised because of the big offer but they agreed without thinking. And in less than a minute all the users were asked to leave because it is closed.

      After everyone leave, I used multiple computers, to easily find that psycho's name or the alias he can use. I also locate where Arthur King might be staying using his phone. And in a short period of time, I found both of them. I clean all the computers I used so no one can trace me, and no one can use them. I found that psycho is really here in New York and he is very near to Arthur. So, I use the car and drive fast as I could. After the ride, I already found Arthur's location; and he is staying in a hotel.
