Annabel Hazel Kelvin, known as Crazy Anna, is a fiery, fearless, and unpredictable 26-year-old woman who refuses to be controlled. With natural beauty, sharp wit, and a rebellious spirit, she is a woman who speaks her mind-even if it means challenging a king. An orphan raised in the streets, she has learned to survive in a world ruled by power and deception. Living near the palace with her best friend Tanya, she dreams of a simple life, free from royal drama. But fate has other plans. When she crosses paths with King Damien, their clash is immediate-his ice meets her fire. But as she gets pulled into the dark world of the royal court, she discovers secrets about herself, her past, and a destiny she never expected. She may be a commoner, but she is the only one bold enough to defy a king-and the only one strong enough to melt his frozen heart.
(THE PALACE)
King Damien could be seen in a council meeting with the elders, looking serious and scary at the same time.
The elders trembled at his sighthis presence emitting a dangerous aura intimidating everyone.
After some minutes the meeting ended and he stepped out of the hall with his guards behind him, The elders exhaled in relief after he left.
King Damein headed to the Queen chamber where he met his mother Clara watering the flowers in the garden with the help of some maids.
" Queen mother" he called with a deep manly voice.
The maids froze and bow before excusing them.
" Son"Queen Clara replied dropping the watering can she is holding she let out a charming that Damien could not resist returning it.
Damien smiled also exposing his white set of perfect teeth he doesn't smile with others except for his mother and sometimes his best friend Zander.
He walks to his mother and hug her resting his head on her shoulder. Queen Clara pat his back softly.
" How was the meeting today?" She asked after pulling away from him.
" Hectic as always, they're asking me to get married soon" he replied.
Queen Clara sighed and hold his hand taking him to sit down.
" You have to get married, you can't rule Crest Town alone,you have to get a wife who will bear you kids, who will later take over the throne from you" Queen Clara advised him.
King Damien cringed at the mention of kids.
He imagine himself carrying a child and coaxing the baby to sleep.
He gave a disgusting expression and Queen Clara slapped his arm.
" Mum" he whinnied like a baby.
" Do you want me to die without seeing my grandkids, you are thirty-five for goodness sake" she glare at him.
" I will look for a wife soon okay" he pecks her forehead and stood up.
" Are you sure you are not a gay?" Queen Clara asked narrowing her eyes.
" Bloody hell why would you say that Mum" he half-yelled.
" I do Fu*k some bitches around yunno" he added.
" Are you saying that to my face" she glared.
" No I gotta go bye" he hugs her and went out.
Queen Clara sighed and smile.
" Such a sweet boy" she muttered.
" Your highness Princess Silver is here to see you" his favorite guard Bill reports.
" Where is she?" King Damein asked in a cold voice.
" She is in your study room my lord" Bill answered.
Damien hummed and went straight to the study room.
" Your highness" Princess Silver sprang up and bow to him.
" What are you doing here Silver?" He asked.
" I came to spend sometime here my lord" she replied.
Princess Silver is his childhood friend whom he respects.
" Why?"
" Uhmm, because I want to stay with Queen mother" she replied.
Damien nods his head and walked out of the study.
Princess Silver sighed and squeal in happiness.
" Yes" she smiled widely.
" Let me take you to your room my princess" a maid said and Silver nodded.
" Let's go" she said and the maid lead the way.
" I will make sure you fall for me dear Damein" she thought inwardly.

" What?" Anna stopped dancing and strike a pose.
" We can't keep staying like this Anna,we have to find something to do" Tanya ruffles her hair.
" I agree but where could we get a job?" Anna sat beside her on the floor.
" How about we meet Lady Evelyn tomorrow and ask her for any vacancy" Tanya suggests.
" Who is Lady Evelyn?" Anna asked.
" She is the chief maid of Crest Palace" Tanya replied.

" The landlord is here" Tanya felt like crying.
" Leave him to me" Anna stood up.
" Don't do anything stupid Anna" Tanya warned her.

" Where is my money?" Mr K asked with an angry expression.
He stopped for a moment and scan Anna from head to toe gazing lustfully at her body.

" Do you want me to tell your wife you are cheating on her?" She whispered and Mr K froze.
" No please don't" he begged.
