Leonna forced a smile on her pale cheeks knowing that the queen would definitely skin her alive or perhaps announce to the entire palace what she caught her trying to do it Maria goes in to meet the queen and informs her that she isn’t feeling fine so she shook her head at once “don’t bother Maria, I can handle this, I am stronger than you think” she said.
Maria reached out to her hand grabbing it softly, she squeezed it tightly and smiled to her “you are like a daughter to me Leonna and I wouldn’t want anything to go wrong with you, recently you have been overworking yourself and you always have little or no rest, I believe that’s why it’s telling on you right now and if you don’t take a break and rest, you might break down soonest which means we might have to get a physician for you, I am sure you don’t want that?”
Leonna shook her head in response to her question.
“Very good, so do just a
Terry nodded “I am so sorry about that my lord, perhaps it would be fair that I allow you go have your lunch or maybe you can have mine here then we can discuss this later” he answered.Joshua shook his head in disagreement, he was still looking out through the window, he turned to Terry and moved back to his seat and sat down heaving a sigh of relief “you know very well that I wouldn’t agree to that, tell me what is going on? Did you hear anything about Diana or what? You know how much I hate it when you keep me in the dark Terry, no matter what it is believe me I can handle it.”Terry buried his face into his plan, he shook it slowly and took a deep sigh “handle it you say, you would definitely hate me when I am done with my stupid speech” he mumbled to himself looking away he rubbed his hand under his beard hoping he could finally find the courage to say these words and if eventually hell would let loose, it should do so alr
The sky was gradually getting dark, the clouds looked surprisingly heavy since it was quiet sunny few hours ago, no one could actually believe that it would want to rain before night fall, the birds were chirping from trees as some who were far away from home were seen flapping their wings with so much aggression trying to find their way home, they flew past in their numbers, Terry couldn’t help looking up above the sky, he could feel the wind brush past his face and the weather gradually getting cold with each second that swept by, he was sure it hadn’t been long he got there and everything seemed to be happening fast especially the strange woman standing right in front of him, he glared at her with so much fear in his eyes, the dagger still firm in his hands, he took a quick glance around to know if she was the only one or perhaps she has an army with her, the fear of the fact that their village is under an attack by the humans was gradually creeping into him but he di
Joshua barged into his room like he was been chased behind by a monster, of course he was been chased by grief and his heart was growing heavy with each second that swept by, he wanted to lock himself in his room and perhaps that would help ease the pain he was feeling at that money, he kept pacing the room, his hands placed behind him and his thoughts traveling far and near, he just couldn’t stand it, his heart was boiling, he was angry at both himself and Terry, he was upset that he couldn’t control himself in the presence of Terry and had ended up saying some hurtful words to him, on a second thought he was also angry with Terry for saying such things to him, he was the last person he expected to confront him with such topic, he expected him to have his back just like always, to be fully in support of him even when the world seems to have turn its back on him, he continued pacing his room mumbling like a child who had lost its toy in the woods, his eyes were gradually
Maria swallowed hard, it was written over him, she could clearly tell that something was gradually eating him up, she had seen him walk past earlier and had gone to inform the queen that her son was currently in his room little did she know that his emotions were eating him up, whatever it was she was sure it was very serious “but my lord she have been waiting for quite a while now” Maria said hoping he would change his mind and hopefully when he is done talking with his mother he might feel better instead of drowning himself in alcohol for the rest of the evening.“I said you should tell her that I don’t want to see anyone, don’t you understand what I said by I want to be left alone or have you gone deaf?” And before Maria could say another word, he slammed the door at her face leaving her gaping in awe, she couldn’t believe what she just witnessed, Joshua have never yelled at her or spoken to her in such a disrespectful manner, she
It was gradually drizzling, the rain was seen spreading its faint wings falling on the roofs in silence, everyone gradually retired to their houses taking shelter under the warmth of their roof but that wasn’t the same for Carmella who had insisted that she had promised the king that she would pay him a visit later in the day and wouldn’t want to disappoint him else he might never trust her again, her eyes got glued to that of her mother who sat quietly in front of the window watching the cloud get darker with each second that swept by while Carmella hurriedly brushed through her hair, for reasons Zara couldn’t explain she wasn’t comfortable with Carmella’s visit to the palace and had insisted that she cancelled it, Carmella walked back into her room on seeing the look her mother gave her while she brushed her hair in her presence, she sat on her bed squeezing her face in anger and finally buried her chin in her hands sighing deeply, she could hear tiny
Carmella’s face gradually broke into a grin exposing her white set of teeth, that feeling of fulfillment and accomplishment came rushing into her like a stream of many waters, she ran to her mother embracing her tightly while covering both of her cheeks with lots of kisses “you’re the best mother, I love you so… much” she said stressing the word ‘so’ which ended up making Zara laugh so hard, she haven’t heard Carmella talk like that in a long while and she was glad she was able to be the reason behind her smile.“You should get going now before it starts raining else I would be forced to revoke my permission” she threatened playfully while she watched Carmella quickly comb her hair, she picked up her veil from the bed afterwards covering her hair properly, she smiled at her mother.“How do I look mother?” She asked with a beautiful smile on her lips.Zara nodded “beautiful as always&h
Carmella comfortably sitting on the chair in the living room was beginning to feel like royalty already, she grinned from cheek to cheeks gulping down her anxiety deep under her belly while she tried her best to remain calm, it wasn’t easy staying that calm in the palace especially when you’re unaware of what to expect the next minute, she adjusted her veil acknowledging the fact that Joshua was full of surprises, perhaps he could walk to her this minute and act like they never had a conversation, she shrugged hoping that doesn’t happen cause she could vividly recall the surprised look on Maria’s face when she informed her that the king was expecting her, well who wouldn’t be surprised knowing how well he despises Carmella especially for her guts, she hung her head for a girl, her veil almost dropping from her head when she heard foot steps, she jerked up on her feet without seeing the person yet hoping it would be the king but to her disappointment it
Joshua continued drenching his throat in alcohol, he stood up facing the open window, he watched as it rained heavily, the water hitting rocks outside making loud noises, he could hear the thunder storm raging up in the sky, he hung his head in bitterness, sniffing over and over again, his eyes had turned blood shot and he could barely see clearly since alcohol had soaked deep into his body system, but what does he care? He just wanted to get that burning anger off his chest, he just wanted to get the fact that he had been betrayed by someone he trusted most of his chest and perhaps he would feel a lot more better afterwards, he squeezed his face feeling totally depressed, alcohol wasn’t making things better for him just like he believed it would, it was rather making things worse, he gradually moved over to a seat in the room, staggering left and right, he almost lost hold of the bottle which would have ended up shattering to pieces on the floor but he was fast enough to catch it on
Carmella left the room angrily, she walked into her room and met Leonna cleaning it, she went straight to her and grabbed her by the hair "you little bitch, you really want to reap where you did not sow huh?"Leonna groaned in pain totally unaware of what Carmella was talking about "what have I done?" She cried out."You want to become queen huh? You want me to bow at your feet?" She yelled pushing her to the wall.Leonna hit her head on the wall turning around slowly with her forehead bleeding slightly, their were equally blood stains on the wall, she could feel heavy headache on her head too, Carmella cared less about that her bleeding forehead "it would be over my dead body that I would allow you marry Terry, listen to me, you won't and would never marry him, he belongs to me and me alone, I have always been the one he loved, not some low life like you" she said wagging her finger at her.She shook her head sadly, she just couldn't believe that all the yelling was just because of T
The day was gradually coming to an end, Terry retired to his room, he had actually started occupying Joshua's chambers, he had sent for Leonna who arrived few minutes later standing by the door."Come in and shut the door..." He said on seeing her.Leonna was scared, she just didn't want to come anywhere close to him, never have she imagined that Terry was evil but today she witnessed him treat a wolf who have loved him like a brother like an enemy and that was something she wouldn't forget in a hurry, she shut the door and stood by it with her hands properly folded."Please sit,I want us to talk" he said."I don't want to, whatever you want to say, please say it now, I was busy before you sent for me" she said looking away.Terry sighed walking closer to her, he knew that she was angry with him, he cleared his throat "we have always liked each other alot and because of the rules guarding the palace, we couldn't show our feelings properly nor have a good relationship, when I said that
"What... What did you just say Azora?" Zara asked standing to her feet.Azora laughed "you haven't told them yet? How you were so jealous of your kid sister cause she married the man of your dreams and you decided to end her life just to have him all to yourself yet it took you so many years to get married to him, did you also tell them how you asked me for powers to get rid of her when she found out that she was still alive, how you went to poison her but ended up poisoning yourself, how you went the second time but disgraced yourself and showed your real face cause you always take the form of her human husband's personal assistant's face? She never eloped with a human just like she always claims, Diana is a survival of attempted murder by her own sister! and did you also tell them that you have pushed her off the cliff the second time? poor girl.. I doubt if she would survive this time around.""I survived...." Diana said walking into the throne room, her hands were dripping of blo
By the time he got to the palace, what he saw was what he didn't expect, someone else was sitting on her mother's throne and Terry sitting on his, could this be a dream or what?" He thought "what are you doing Terry? Why are you sitting on my throne?" He asked turning to see his mother, the queen, Zara,Maria and Leonna sitting on the floor."I don't get this Azora, this is not our agreement, why the hell would you ask a servant to sit on my husband's throne?" She yelled in anger."He has equal rights as your so called husband does and therefore deserves this throne better" Azora said with a proud smirk on her face.Joshua was shocked "and what is that supposed to mean? Would you get off that throne this minute!" He yelled at Joshua trying to grab him."If you dare touch me, trust me brother you wouldn't like what I would do to you, I have every right to be on this throne and if you're still so confused, maybe you should ask your beloved mother here" Terry said pointing at pointing at
Zara left her house at once without saying another word to Joshua, Leonna followed her at once,the king looked totally speechless, he turned to Diana "stay here, I would be right back."Diana shook her head in disapproval "I can't, I must go with you.""But it might be dangerous" he explained."I don't care, I am going with you" she said sadly grabbing his hand.The king sighed, it was truly obvious that he had no other choice but to allow her follow him just like she wants, few minutes after they left the palace, Joshua was feeling really pressed, so he asked Diana to wait for him under a tree while he goes to ease himself, while he was doing so Carmella crept from behind, she was actually on her way to her mother's house when she saw the king walking side by side with Diana holding her hands, he didn't notice her presence as he was backing her, Carmella grabbed a log of wood which was lying on the floor and hit it behind his head, Joshua fell on the floor and passed out at once, she
She arrived the palace and fear gripped everyone at once but before the guards in the palace could attack her, she bewitched them and made them bow at her feet while she grinned with so much delight feeling so fulfilled. Leonna was just done massaging Carmella's leg and had walked out of her room in tears when she noticed something awkward going on in front of the palace, she noticed a strange woman on a black rope chanting some words and making everyone bow at her feet, fear took grip of her and she fled at once to the back of the house running as fast as she could to inform the king of what was going on since she had seen him leave earlier and was so sure he had gone to see Diana and her mother.Carmella noticed a weird kind of silence and walked out of her room looking at each corner of the palace in fright, she could tell that something was wrong, she walked into the throne room and saw Azora standing there,she gasped and at the same time smiled walking majestically to stand in fr
At once he left his room to meet his mother and Carmella in the throne room, he tried greeting her to release him but she bluntly refused, for the first time he witnessed his mother swear over and over again to deal with Terry, she stood up pointing fiercely at her son “he brought that woman into this palace, she is not and will not be accepted here, I might spare her life and pardon her for what she did to the royal family, after all we have her elder sister here with us now to take her place but I would never accept her into this palace.”The king chortled “then get ready to loose your son and the king of this land” he said walking out on them.Queen Emma gasped in confusion.Carmella stood up and ran straight to her room shutting the door behind, she looked so upset, she turned the mirror and started summoning Azora and in no time she could see her image in the mirror , with so much bitterness behind her voice she told her all that was happening at that moment and Azora told her wh
Few hours later, they arrived the village and the palace in particular, the wedding ceremony have been conducted as people could be seen dancing and eating, Zara whose face was covered with sadness was about leaving the palace when she sighted Diana in the company of Terry, she gasped in shock “Diana!” She called out in a loud tone.That instant every where was silent, the music stopped, everyone turned around staring at Diana who looked totally confused, a palace guard ran into the palace building, the king, queen and Carmela were in the throne room when he came to inform them of the latest development, Carmella was the first to run out of the throne room to confirm what the guard had said, on stepping out she saw Diana standing beside Terry, it was obvious that he was the one that brought her back home “I knew it that he would do whatsoever it takes to ensure that my happiness is completely snatched away from me” she muttered feeling so upset, the queen and the king were soon outsid
Melanie had slept off in the hospital after having a good time with her daughter the previous day, she actually spent the night on the couch pondering over what Joshua had told her that evening especially about the wedding, she felt irritated and upset and wondered how many more evil people existed in the world if her own sister could go as far as wanting to marry her husband, her eyes gently went open when she heard footsteps approaching the ward, she felt really weak and her body ached a lot, she looked up and there stood the female doctor who have been taking care of her daughter, she smiled at her “good morning…” she greeted almost in a faint tone. The doctor smiled at her in response as they both stepped outside few minutes later to have a conversation after she was done checking on Brenda who was still very much asleep.Melanie cleared her voice “so when can we go home doctor?” She asked politely.“You’re free to go today, she’s okay, the least you can do is bring her twice ever
