Terry locked up behind bars, he sat at a corner mumbling in rage while feeling totally abandoned, he couldn’t describe the rage that burnt in his heart at that moment, how could the queen do this to him? What exactly have he done wrong other than say the truth? He buried his head in between his legs for a moment while still sitting at that corner, his eyes looked blood shot from complied rage, he wished at this moment that he could stand up to the queen and give her a piece of his mind but that would equally mean signing his death warrant for no one dares stand up against the queen, the only person whom he had seen do that countless times and yet get away with it was the king, well he always got away with it because he was the king and equally her son else she would have had him roasted alive. A lot of times Terry have tried to force himself to believe that the queen wasn’t cruel, she was rather trying to dominate everyone and everything around her, she was equally trying to make sure
Queen Emma looked up at Terry, seeing him sitting like a complete outcast and animal behind bars made her heart gladden, it gave her that feeling of superiority, she felt equally proud of herself and was glad that she was able to take the bull by the horn and send him down here despite her son’s presence, she as scared that the king must have gotten him out already but seeing that he was still there was a prove that her son still respected and feared her, well who doesn’t actually fear her in this kingdom, she sighed out loud, their were just two of them, one she have gotten rid of and the other was Zara, she is equally afraid of Zara, not just because she doesn’t fear but because of her strength and what she was capable of doing with it, she sneered for a moment taking a deep sigh while pinching the tip of her nose with her finger, she shook her head in discomfort “you thought you could turn my son against me by telling him what we discussed isn’t it? What a big fool you were” the qu
Queen Emma dragged her feet with so much confidence while walking down the hall way, her shoulders raised with pride and her eyes filled with so much delight, earlier she had gotten scared that her son must have gotten Terry out of the dungeon thereby disrespecting her so she decided to go down there and check for herself, seeing Terry remain behind close bars made her feel really at peace with herself, finally she still had some faith in the fact that she still had an upper hand over her son, she just wanted Joshua to be the son that listens to her without objecting to her rules or regulations, she wanted to be in charge of his life and decide almost everything he does, from what he eats to what he wears forgetting that her son is no longer a kid, he is a full grown man and currently the king of the people therefore he has the right to make decisions on his own, but his mother have refused bluntly to accept that. She kept walking down the hallway when she was stopped by one of the se
For a moment he remained reluctant, perhaps calculating the best way to make the move, order the guards to get him out or maybe get him out himself, while these thoughts went on for minutes in his head, the rain finally broke out into a heavy down pour, it had been drizzling for a couple of hours, it was so heavy that one would fear that the roof might get pulled off in the process, you could barely hear anyone’s voice, it was just the heavy rain that could be heard clearly in the entire palace unlike earlier you could hear footsteps or the maidens giggling and laughing while walking past, or plates in the kitchen making rough but coordinated noises, the weather was really very cold now and the weather was perfect for a nap but how could Joshua sleep when his life had suddenly turned upside down in the twinkle of an eye, his best moments have turned sour as he could barely remember what it feels like to be relaxed, sleep or enjoy the atmosphere, it was always his heart making jumpy mo
“What do you mean by you don’t have it? Have you lost your senses that you dare to disobey my orders? Have you forgotten that I am the king?” He roared feeling insulted, this was the height of it and he definitely would not take anymore of the insults, this was all his mother’s fault, creating allies amongst the palace servants making them feel that she was even more superior to the king which was totally untrue, the only reason he has been calm towards her was because she was his mother.The other guard gulped hard, his eyes looking very wide filled with a million fears, of course no one wants to get on the bad side of the king, they know what he was capable of doing once he was upset but they just needed to explain that none of these was their fault “my king we are honest with you, we wouldn’t lie for anything in the world, we do not have the keys” he said looking totally innocent.Joshua gasped, he couldn’t believe this, they were truly standing their ground insisting that they do
“What???” He looked extremely shocked, his eyes grew very wide and his hands shook with anger, this was unbelievable, Joshua’s mouth dropped open, what on earth had gotten into his mother? Was this how much she hated Terry and wanted him to remain there just being honest? He shook his head in disbelief, his mother did not only lock Terry up she took the keys just to make sure that he doesn’t get Terry out, he took a deep sigh, at least his mother knows him too well, she knows how much he loves his friend Terry and won’t stand to see him spend even a night in that dungeon, truly this was the height of it, whether his mother liked it or not he was getting Terry out of there and he didn’t care if hell let loose “how did mother become like this? She equally watched Terry grow, he is like a son to her, why is she treating him with so much hatred?” She scoffed and stormed out on the guards who remained on their knees with their hands rubbing their throats, they took a glance at each wonderi
The queen remained silent, she only stared at him wondering what was making him act in such manner.“Yes mother, I have lost my mind, I have lost my mind because I have someone as horrible as you to call mother, sometimes I wonder how you are even my mother, I don’t think you are, perhaps you aren’t the one that gave birth to me!” He screamed.The queen was shocked, she couldn’t believe her ears, what was Joshua saying? This was the height of it, she took a quick glance around and felt grateful that she sent her servants out of the room else Joshua would have embarrassed her right in front of him, he didn’t look remorseful despite seeing her look sad and shocked by his words, he didn’t seem to care of her feelings gets hurt in the process or not, he was just furious and seemed so ready to pull down the palace if given a chance, she was equally wondering how much more she could contain her own anger and understand why he was acting that way, was it because of Terry or Carmella, she jus
“Joshua!” She called out in shock, she just couldn’t believe what she just heard him say, but he wasn’t wrong about what he just said just that she didn’t know he was aware that he had such rights, the king has the right to dethrone the sitting queen if she isn’t doing well and choose another woman to be crowned his queen though they must be related either my marriage or blood but before a sitting queen is dethroned, some else must be provided who would take her place as soon as possible.“You heard me right, I have tolerated you enough, you know…. I have no one to take your place yet, but when I do, you would be so sorry that you ever made my life miserable, I would strip you of every right you have in this palace as royalty, where are the keys to the dungeon?” He demanded putting his hand forward.She burst into laughter, now she finally realized exactly what all the anger was all about “so you actually tried to disobey me by going down to the dungeon to get Terry out? what do you
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
