Against the rules: The rise of the Queen Chapter 46: The Potion Killed Him
“How can you be so sure that it was the yellow potion?” I bellow. It's like my heart wants to believe every word, my mind already placing the blame on Max, but a link holds me back, and I want to hold on to it tighter. “My queen, yesterday when you asked me about the potion, and I had explained the effects, I realized whatever your father - The king of the kingdom faced was nowhere different from the symptoms. Everything was so in-line that I had my doubts. And today when I saw your mother with the same symptoms I was afraid. I talked to her helper, asking her about the medicines she took, and she told me that Max told her, to put the yellow potion in your mother’s food”My guts twisted at every word that left the healer's mouth, my mind knowing all too well the deductions it had made before I fainted. Despite me being reluctant to acknowledge any facts, the hints of the betrayal were sprawled before me. Suddenly a whiff of the yellow potion catches my attention. I see the healer

A figure tumbles across the hallway trying hard to keep up its balance. It shuffles through all the stairs, climbing each one with a rush leading it to trip almost on every step that it makes. The doors to the chamber are pushed with a loud thud, as the figure crouches holding on to the knees, catching every breath to inform the purpose of its arrival. “What happened? Why do you look like you are about to be killed?”, the healer asks, looking at the disheveled appearance of the figure on the door. “The queen knows the truth”, as soon as the words fell on the ears of the healer, his head snapped up, his eyes threatening to light up at the piece of information, but he needed to be sure before he celebrated anything. “How do you know?”, he asks, containing his happiness, and tucking it behind his cold demeanor. “I heard them…”, the figure takes a deep breath entering the chambers and closing the door behind them. “Yesterday night, I heard the Queen confronting Max about the situation

“So, what do you propose King Martin?”, I say sitting in front of the two most powerful King. King Martin - King of South dynasty, strong, powerful, and most of all well-versed and experienced in ruling a kingdom since he was nineteen.And second King Monogary - King of the west, a plump man almost in his seventies, witty, smart, extremely cunning, and ready to pass his throne to his elder son, Prince Aaron. My eyes trail between the three men sitting before me, their eyes filled with the same disgust, and disgrace to see a woman on the throne. It’s like my body has turned numb to the looks, the rage in me at the disgrace a mere speck of dust that just bothers when it is in your eyes, and anytime you wish you could pluck it, and make sure it no longer distracts or even disturbs you. I sigh, at the silence I receive at my question, the meeting turning into nothing but silent scrutiny based on gender and prejudices. “King Monogary”, I address him looking him in the eye, and he chuck

“What?”, the word roars through my mouth as I look at mom for the incredulous statement she had made seconds before. “I am not doing anything like that.” “Princess Adria, do not forget I am your mom and you will do as I wish”, she bellows standing before me. Her face morphed into pure rage, as her eyes spit the venom in them. “It’s Queen Adria mom, do not forget it I am the Queen '', I hissed at the words that left my mouth. I don't want to disgrace her, but her decisions do not give me a chance to think rationally. She chuckles at my words as she walks toward me, “No you are not the queen, yet.”, she stands before me, her stature that of the Queen she shows herself to the world outside. “You will become the queen when you are a wife to some King. The East does not belong to you Adria, you are the daughter of the Kingdom - the princess. You were a responsibility that I and Dad had to look after until you marry someone, and become their Queen.” she says, the words adorned with

I look at myself in the mirror, as helpers swarm in and out of my chambers with rings, crowns, neck pieces, clothes, perfumes, and what not to embezzle me for the ceremony. They pull the strings to the corsets, pulling several gowns up and down my body diligently waiting for approval from mom. Well, she believed her daughter should look the best, and has taken over the duty to try all the hundred and two dresses on me to select one. Which apparently will accentuate my beauty. I grin at the irony of the idea of choosing a husband. All they could see is me in my best form caked in layers of tints to highlight even my flaw, and what I will see is the glory written on scrolls beside them exaggerating even the deed of killing a mute animal hidden behind trees and bushes. I roll my eyes when I see mom's eyes light up in excitement at the perfect dress. The same old story, a dress that vacates nothing to the imagination. The corset was pulled tight enough to pop my breasts through the cu

“Azrael sweetheart, could you please come here”, I call Azrael, my craziness peeking through my lashes, as I adorn a soft grin on my face. “Ahh… This is going to be a long day”, I groan leaning against Azrael’s shoulder. “I appreciate, that not all men that walked in here were here for the wealth. Oh god, they really believed me when I said I would give them a trunk of gold coins”, I shake my head in fay disappointment. “Do you think I will waste the money of my kingdom on some money-lurching leeches? Never. As I said, they will not receive a single penny. So, now that the greed is taken care of, let me explain things in a simple language. ”, I link my arm with Azrael’s threading our fingers, as I raise his palm to kiss his knuckles. “This is the man I love”, I say my eyes dart immediately looking at Max. His shoulders rise and drop a sigh leaving his lips. He stares at the ground, his knuckles turning pale at the grip on the sword, and I smirk at the misery that he feels. Paybac

Two birds with one stone is not a bad idea.“Ahh… wow this looks so hot. I am sure, I will be ok with that little hotness on my skin when it is followed by such a sensuous act”, the same auburn hair man croaks, and I walk towards him. “I know right, just a small burn. You want to get a taste of the sensuousness”, I say and he nods his head in a frantic yes. I pull his arm in my hand, rolling the sleeve of his robe up. I tilt the candle, letting the hot wax pool continuously in a single spot, and he shouts almost making me deaf. “Ahh… That hurts. Are you mad, how could you do this? My skin, it hurts. No way, I am going to marry in this madness, never.”, he shouts running out of the room. “Oh, anyone else who would like to try this?”, I wiggle the candle in my hand, and ten men run right out of the door. Nine more stubborn asses to go. I stretch my hands up in the air, letting the knots on my back loosen. “I am sure, I can take the burn. I have taken it several times and this won

“Adria, choose one”, Max says with his beaming smile. If it wasn’t for the sun, I would have mistaken the light around me for his smile. I mirror his expression, jutting my lips in a pout.“But Max, they are both beautiful, can’t I have both”, I say and he rolls his eyes.“You can have the other in the future, but right now you need to choose one. Just focus on the colors of the tulips, and pick one that calls out to you.”, he says, his face and voice softening.I shake my head, giving up on the banter. Placing my hand on my hips, I focus on the tulips in his hand. The white and the pink bunch are separately held by him, both emitting the same beauty, and serenity through them. They both have this vivid smell

Against the rules: The rise of the Queen EPILOGUE
Every day Max gets up to ask only one question, “How do you know we were going to have a baby girl”, and I just shrug saying, “Mother instincts.”, and he pouts like a child folding his hands over his chest. It's been a year since I am married to this person pouting beside me. The day I came into consciousness, he pulled me down to the temple in the middle of the village, and in the witness of hundreds of people in my kingdom, he married me. There were no huge rituals, customs, or grandiose spread along with the city, and yet it was the happiest day of my life. Since, then it’s been like I am having a second skin that walks, sleeps, and eats by me every second of the day. It was hard to explain to the entire kingdom, what went down in the palace, but I was happy they accepted everything along with me and Max. The coronation was no different. As soon as I was healed, the kingdom decided to crown me as the Queen, and I made sure to give Max, a position that made him stand as my equal

“They are going to kill Adria today”, the healer says as I raise the dagger to pierce into his body. I freeze in my spot listening to his words, as my heart goes into frantic actions. “But, I can help you. I know where they will be taking her. I can help you”, he says and I yank his body up from the ground. “If you lie to me once, I will make sure this dagger settles deep into your heart the very moment.” Threat spills through my words, as his body trembles in my arms. The healer guides me to the dungeon of the palace, “She is in there?”, he says. Dragging his body beside me, I enter the eerie gravel-littered space. I could see trails of blood that run along the floor as if someone was dragged mercilessly on the ground. Something settles along my throat, not letting me breathe properly, as I walk towards the blood-stained floor. As I walk into the depths of the place, I could hear echoes of crying and laughter. Different kinds of heartbeats beat along the walls, but the nearest t

“The yellow potion killed him”“Max, tell me it's a lie and I will believe you”, I say clutching his palm in my hand. The heat radiating from them was comforting, and I nuzzle into his skin to seek comfort from everything that was going on. He pulls his hand away from mine, raising the bottle of the yellow potion to his eye level. A gulp resonates from his throat, his proximity to me letting me hear every tick of his heart. My eyes never leave him, they take in every moment of his muscle. I know he was thinking something, what exactly was never a question because I was waiting to hear he was not guilty. His eyes suddenly trail to the door, as a silhouette shuffles along the window, and he places a hand on my lips. Dipping closer to my ear he whispers, “It’s not me, but act like it's me and throw me out of the chamber.”, he says. I pull back looking at his face relief and confusion playing a weird blend on me. His eyes look at me softly and warmly, telling me he would explain thing

“Yes, she is telling the truth. Evander loved me, he adored me, treated me like the queen I am”, a glint of madness crosses my mother's face as she talks. “But, he was a mere servant who forgot his boundaries. Your father was never available for me Adria, he never used to look past the strategies of war. Even when he needed to satisfy himself, he used to go around hiring women and concubines. I was never enough for him because I couldn't give him a son, but trust me Adria it wasn't my fault, it was your dad. He was incompetent.”, she says as her eyes grow frantic looking everywhere around the room. “Ask anyone? Anyone.”, she says breaking into laughter. “Funny he could never even impregnate one of his concubines, and he used to blame me for not giving him a son”, laughing like a maniac she shuffles to the ground sitting with her head in her hands. “That’s when I found Evander. First I forced him, then blackmailed him in Adria’s and Max’s name, and then when I showed him my broken

“Yes, I love you Adria”, he laughs shaking his head in disappointment as tears roll down his cheeks. “I started following you two years ago. Your every move, your every habit, your every need, and in a blink of an eye I knew your strengths and weakness. I saw how you held yourself high before men, confident and not bowing to them. I saw how you enjoyed it when they feared you, especially after they underestimate you. I saw how you wanted to carve your respect in everyone's mind. But I also saw how you were running from your own mind.”, the tears clutch onto the edge of his lips, as he looks deep into my eyes. “You were running from the one person you love. Eyes speak Adria, and your’s were the loudest when you saw Max, admiring him from afar. And I always wondered why you could never see my brother with those eyes. The dots never connected, if you loved Max, then why did you fool Evander”, dipping his head back a chuckle escapes his lips. “And guess what my answer was just tucked i

TRIGGER WARNING: Sexual abuse, assault, and Graphic abuse.Azrael walks in from the door his face in a mock, his eyes staring me up and down in hatred and it is not what haunts me, it's the other person clinging onto his arm that burns me with rage. I scatter forward but the splinters dig in my skin pulling me back to place. “Oh, look at the Queen all helpless”, mom says as she walks beside Azrael her eyes scattered with a glint at the misery she sees. The phosphene in the air is cut, a sudden cool spreading all over my body relieving me of the pain. I eye the ground breathing at the dwindled pain when I see feet stop mere inches from me. My chin is pinched between fingers so hard that it would probably leave a bruise, as they jerk my face up to look at the person standing before me. His fingers leave my chin. Tracing the cuts on my shoulder blade, Azrael presses his fingers onto the wound, and a hiss leaves from between my lips. “Does it hurt? Tell them sweetheart”, he says, with

I place my hand over my stomach, as my eyes take in the flatness of it through the mirror. It is just impossible to wrap my head around the possibility that there is a human being growing in there, and that very small being has the flesh of the one person I love the most in the world. A smile crosses my face, the idea of me growing bigger and bulkier with a person in me sounding like a ridiculous tale. My hand caresses the region over the fabric, anticipating what size it will grow, how large, what will I look like, and how will Max… hold me?Will Max ever hold me? My senses wander with the question. The idea of pregnancy is not that absurd, what disturbs me the most is whether I will be able to give this small bean the life they deserve. A twinge of guilt holds me, nervousness picking up at my senses as I think about Max. Something seems off, what exactly is out of the question. But there is an inner voice that somehow yells at me, that something very bad is about to knock on my d
