The pale faced Carmella looked up at Azora at the sound of her name wondering why she isn’t asking her question or talking yet, she hated the suspense, it was making her sweat profusely and she didn’t like it, she wanted to get over with her meeting with Azora soonest and feel that finally she has something to work or maybe to die for if that’s the case.
“Are you ready, I mean ready to do anything I ask you to do so far as it would make you Joshua’s wife and the next queen of this land?” Azora asked staring straight at her face.
Carmella chortled, she didn’t expect Azora to ask her that, as far as she was concerned she have already sold her soul to the devil willing to do whatever it takes to become Joshua’s wife and sit on that throne as the queen not minding what it would cost her, she just didn’t care anymore about what the cost might be, what was more important to her is that her sister does not return to become
Zara walked into the living room lost in her thoughts, her mind clouded with the fact that maybe her daughter was being totally honest with her or perhaps she was keeping something from, she shook her head slightly disagreeing with the thought that truly just like she had previously suspected, that Carmella might have crossed over to the forbidden part of the woods and that was where she found the strange lead and fruits with she fed on, she sighed rubbing her hand across her forehead, hot sweats were already dripping from it, she didn’t know exactly what to think or believe anymore, her daughter or her instinct, but her instinct have never been wrong, she gently moved over to the wooden chair, she sat though she looked totally uncomfortable, she wondered if she should ask her the exact spot she slept the previous night or maybe the place she slept, some how she might find the leaf and the fruit, she scoffed loudly knowing that Carmella would definitely get pissed off this tim
Joshua nodded “my mother have loved her life, she should allow me live mine, I still want to be happy and I have decided to place my happiness above whatever she wants for me especially now that things are beginning to fall into place, the human’s charms on Diana is fading which is good news” he smiled clearing his throat slightly “I just can’t wait to bring her back, I came to ask you when we can go to see her again or should I say bring her back home” he looked very eager taking a glance at Terry who nodded in agreement.Zara adjusted her veil, she didn’t know what to say but simply smiled while she thought about when would actually be the perfect time to bring her daughter back home meanwhile Carmella had noticed voice while she was dressing up in her room, she could recognize the voice though they were distinct, she wondered what they were discussing, so she gently unlocked her door and tip toe hiding behind the door that led to t
The sky was gradually turning blurry, it looked like it was going to rain cats and dogs any moment soon, Joshua couldn’t help gazing at it pointing it out to Terry who nodded in agreement though they weren’t sure about it yet, they didn’t mind if it rained anyways, after all they needed it so that their crops could grow healthy, they loved it when their harvest came out bountiful at the end of the season and they always celebrated it as a village and they were hoping that this same season wouldn’t be different though it hasn’t rained much recently, they still hoped and prayed that their should be a great improvement before the end of the raining season else they might be forced to go into the human world and get food for themselves, a situation like this had occurred years back during the time of Joshua’s father, their crops didn’t do well in a season and he had to send some people into the human world to get food, though they were successfu
Terry’s eyes widened, he couldn’t believe what he just heard, the queen wants him to sit when she is sitting, that didn’t sound good to him “you mean I should sit down?” He asked again as he wanted to be sure and didn’t want to provoke queen Emma unknowingly.She nodded “you heard me, I asked you to sit down” she repeated arching her brow.Terry gulped hard moving backwards to the seat though he was slow, he was scared that the queen might be trying to test his loyalty by asking him to sit down when he shouldn’t sit, after all what right does he have to sit with the queen of the land “my queen it isn’t right that I sit when…”Queen Emma cut in immediately looking a little provoked “I am sure you aren’t deaf Terry, I asked you sit down, I said you should sit down or do you prefer to hang in the air? She raised her brow glaring at his face.He trembled in fear, he hur
Queen Emma did not get her gaze off him, she fixed it steadily making him feel even more uncomfortable than he already was, Terry took a look to the right side of the room, the window was so lightly open as the sun was already shining brightly in the sky, some how the rays found it’s way into the room making the room light up even more, the heat from the sun rested on his laps but he could barely feel it since his mind was already clouded with thoughts, he couldn’t say out his thoughts as the queen was still sitting in front of him waiting for him to say a word, positive or negative and that alone would define the rest of his life, Terry was aware of that but he felt terrible that queen Emma was trying to use him just to get back her son’s attention, he knew if he ever approached Joshua with a topic like this, he would be very angry with him, wouldn’t listen to him and might choose not to have anything to do with him again, he took a deep sigh bowing his head
She sighed walking closer to him “you know Terry, if I had my way, I would have made sure you are no where close to my son but some how you were lucky enough to find yourself right up to his heart but unfortunately that won’t last long cause I won’t sit with my fingers crossed and watch some son of a bitch turn my son against me and against his people” she said with so much rage oozing through her eyes.He gasped “did she just call me a son of a butch?” Terry thought to himself looking shocked and at the same time embarrassed, he felt really pained and totally broken to hear say those words to him especially for the fact that he doesn’t even know who his parents are, that question have never been answered but he was only made to believe that he was a beta whom the royal family had pity on after he lost his family and took him into the palace and raised him with their son, though most times he wished so hard that he met his real family
The room went very quiet like a grave yard afterwards, one could hear a pin if it eventually falls, the queen sighed breaking the silence while she turned to leave “my son must hear nothing of my visit to your room and I want you to have the conversation I asked you to have with him today before the dawn, afterwards… if I don’t see positive results from his reactions you would be so sorry that you were ever born” she threatened heading for the door.Terry jerked up on his feet, he hurried to the door and unlocked it, the queen took one more glance at him and smiled “don’t ever dare to over step your boundaries Terry, don’t you dare” she said with so much anger in her eyes, she left the room at once and slowly Terry locked the door huffing and puffing, his face was beginning to hurt, he could feel a burning sensation on it and that didn’t make him feel okay at all, he went straight to the mirror in his room and gazed at hi
Both Terry and Leonna wished at that point that the ground could open up and swallow them, it was quite an embarrassing situation and neither of them expected anyone to walk into them especially in a scenery like that, Leonna’s head remained bowed, she felt terrible, her hands and legs were already shaking, she watched Terry beneath her gaze and noticed how nervous he was as well “if only I had magic powers, disappearing in a situation like this is the only option” she mumbled to herself looking completely exhausted and ashamed of the situation she have just found herself in, she was really getting uncomfortable and just couldn’t wait for someone to say something so she could leave already cause the feeling of shame was deeply oozing in the air at that moment, unfortunately neither Terry nor Queen Emma who stood with her head held up high said a single word, she kept moving her gaze from Terry to Leonna “why does it have to be the queen?” He thoug
