The rain had increased drastically with each second that swept by, the dry grounds have grown very wet creating puddles at various parts of the palace compound, most of the servants have retired to their quarters while the rest who have been assigned to various duty posts stood firm enduring the cold weather, their feet’s cold deeply feel the depth of the ice cold weather but what could they do other than do what they are expected to do, serve the royal family till their last breath, of course they had no other choice than to obey and remain loyal to the throne. Leonna hurried down the hallway looking deeply excited, she felt this joy bubbling deep in her chest though she couldn’t explain why she was feeling that way, maybe because the king didn’t yell at her like he did previously or maybe because of the news of Terry being out soon, she grinned from cheek to cheek, moving further down to the kitchen, the king had ordered her to prepare something for Terry including a hot bath and sh
Terry behind those bars could feel his legs growing really cold, his hands have turned to strong ice as he could barely feel his toes, he shut his eyes tight gritting his teeth fit few seconds like a women in labour, his eyes rolled in confusion as he wondered how much longer he would remain trapped behind those bars, perhaps forever if care is not taken, he has been there for few hours but it just felt like he have been there for years, he wondered how much longer he could stand this cold, he ran his cold hands on his hair, rubbing them on his face over and over again, he found barely feel his fingers now, he quietly moved his hand to his shoulder putting them across his chest, he took a deep breath praying silently in his heart that a miracle happens sooner or later else he didn’t know how much longer he could stand the cold. The roofs continued to leak, who on earth ever thinks of fixing the leaking roof in the dungeon, after all they believed prisoners don’t deserve to be taken ca
The queen nodded her head, her heart was boiling badly with rage at that moment, he dared to challenge her seemed like a hard pill for her to swallow, of everyone who she expects to talk back at her, certainly not Terry who have been made an enemy to her even before his birth. She turned to Maria who’s eyes had widened out of fear and anxiety, she was trying so hard to protect Terry from the queen’s wrath and equally trying to protect the queen from bathe king’s wrath but with the way things were turning out with every second that swept by she wondered if either of them understands what they stand to loose if they don’t keep their differences aside and go their separate ways, if she were to be asked she would advice both the queen and Terry to avoid each other despite living together in the palace but how possible would that be since they would always see each other? After all Terry is always with the king following him to every nook or cranny he enters, she turned to the queen and wa
“Open the doors..” the queen ordered staring straight at Terry’s face, no one could tell exactly what was going through her mind but the look on her face didn’t spell good at all, it rather spelt danger, Terry could feel it too, it was impossible for the queen to let him go freely once he was done saying those words to her, her hatred for him seemed to have increased, the queen had no atom of sympathy towards Terry, it seemed that she rather which each second that have ever swept by in life, her hatred for him is doubled and the only thing she could wish so badly for him was his death “I said open the doors!” The queen yelled again, her hands vibrating with anger.The guards with a rush hurried to the cell doors ready to open it, whatever that was going through the queen’s mind at that moment is unknown to either of them but what do they care? What matters most to them is that they don’t find themselves in the wrong side of the queen and eventually end up in the same mess just like Te
Queen’s Emma’s heart couldn’t stop boiling with rage while she paced her chambers like a wounded lion, her eyes filled with rage and her hands vibrating like a woman who had lost her most priceless jewelry, she just couldn’t believe that she finally succumbed to her son’s threat, she couldn’t believe that Joshua was actually serious with his threat else why would he come down to the dungeon to ensure that she actually got Terry out, she rolled her eyes in displeasure turning to Maria who stood uncomfortably behind her with both of her hands folded properly, she looked up at the queen and finally looked away, what could she say other than to console her and let her know that she isn’t alone even though she feels so.The queen scoffed, she ran her hands restlessly through her hair, she moved over to an arm chair and sat shaking her legs over and over again “can you believe it Maria? My own son actually wanted to carry out his threat, he actually meant every word he said to me earlier, h
Maria hurried down the hallway looking totally perplexed, she could feel deep down in her heart that the queen would surely not let this slide easily without a fight, she hated the feeling of humiliation and this is exactly the way Terry have made her feel, the clouds have gone totally dark, it haven’t stopped raining, the clouds rather grew heavier with the down pour of rain, one would only wonder if it was the end of the world, Maria without hesitation arrived at the servant’s chambers and got into her room, she shut the door behind taking a deep breath with both of her hands placed restlessly on her chest, she sighed out loud scooting to a short stool sitting very close to her single bed, she sat on it with her hand placed under her jaw, she shook her head bitterly. She have spent her entire life serving the royal family, she literally knows every single thing about queen Emma including the deepest secrets of the palace, she was there when Terry was born and she helped ease him, y
Maria chortled when she saw the look on Leonna’s face, it was surprise mixed with anxiety and fear, she fixed her stare on Maria for a while with her mind bubbling deep with thoughts of what and what Maria might have noticed to have pushed her into dwelling in such thoughts or perhaps pushing forward to inquire from her, she shook her head in fear feeling totally in shock, she didn’t even know what to say or what to respond with apart from the fact that whatever that is going on in her mind is totally wrong, she wondered who else thinks something is going on between them apart from Maria, she forced a smile on her already pale face and sighed out loud repeating what she had said before “nothing is going on.”Maria smiled “I hope so, you know exactly what would become of you and Terry if the queen finds out that something is going on? No one in the palace can date anyone inside this palace, it is a taboo and as such considered an abomination” she said looking straight at her face.Leon
“I would go serve Terry his soup now, I am sure he must be super hungry” she said trying to forget what she had just discussed with Maria and focus more on the good news, the exciting part of Terry being out of dungeon when she had already given up.Maria nodded “alright, I would see you later.”Leonna forced a smile on her face nodding her head abruptly, she left the room in a hurry shutting the door behind to avoid further questioning by Maria, she took a deep sigh with both of her hands placed on her chest while she walked down the hall way, she shook her head sadly when she admitted to herself that she wasn’t being honest, she just couldn’t help but lie just to save herself from whatever that might be the result of her dying love for Terry, she sighed out loud wondering when she got to that position, falling in love with Terry was never the plan neither did she dream of something like that, she just wanted to have a roof over her head and since it has become her duty to serve in t
