It was dead silent in the room, one could hear a pin falling at that moment despite the rain still drizzling outside dropping steadily on the roof and the thunder storm roaring none stop like it was outraged and ready to devour it’s enemy, both Leonna and the queen’s eyes locked for a while, they both pondered over a silent thought, the young girl had drifted far off in her thoughts wondering what type of a desperate and ambitious woman the queen was, how could she even ask her to do something as evil as that to Terry, she shut her eyes and covered her face with her palm sighing out loud, she couldn’t recall Terry ever hurting her, the queen’s words wouldn’t stop ringing in her ears, she possibly can’t say no to her else her life would certainly be over, she felt like crying at that moment, she felt like yelling at the queen, to tell her how heartless and devilish she was but what right does she have to do something like that? The room seemed to have gone so dark even though the lante
Leonna swallowed hard, her eyes wide open like that of a cat and her heart pounding really hard in her chest “my queen, can’t I do something else for you? What you ask of me is….”“Evil…” the queen said cutting her shorts she arched her brow.“I didn’t mean to say it that way but your highness, Terry have done nothing else other than to be kind to me” she said in defense with so much innocence behind the tone of her voice.The queen chuckled “what about me? How have I treated you, cruel?”Her eyes widened in shock, she didn’t expect the queen to throw such question at her, well she haven’t had much encounter with the queen so she wouldn’t say she have been cruel towards her, even if she have been, she dared not give a positive response to this question of hers, in a case like this, a lie is better off told other than the truth, she secretly gritted her teeth and shook her head over and over again “you have never treated me badly my queen, you have been kind to me aswell, you accepted
“How dare you?” The queen yelled with so much disgust written all over her face, she didn’t expect Leonna to say that, she just wanted a positive response already, for no reason did she expect Leonna to give her a negative response “how dare you try to procrastinate? I am giving you your own life on your hands and what to you want to do? Gamble with it? You think if Terry were in your shoes he would think twice about giving you up? You think he feels the same way you feel about him or what?” She burst into a loud laughter and this confused the young girl the more, queen Emma stood up and walked towards the window, she turned around and took a deep breath looking down at the young girl who have remained on her knees “listen to me Leonna, you would really be a fool to sacrifice your life for someone who feels nothing, I repeat, nothing at all for you” she shrugged while she watched Leonna look away thoughtfully “perhaps he must have told you he loved you or showed you that he does but h
Queen Emma with so much pride and fulfillment oozing from her ego she walked majestically into her room shutting the door behind, she had a deep grin at the end of her lips while she rolled her eyes in pleasure, she sighed out loud adjusting her clothes at the shoulder level “just like I know and I am so sure of it, she would and can never turn down my request, of course who dares to say no to the almighty queen of this land” she burst into loud laughter, she walked over to her bed and sat at the edge of it crossing her legs comfortably “I get and have whatever I want and no one, I repeat no one can stop me, Terry might have escaped my wrath now, he might have succeeded in making my son see me as a bad person, he might have succeeded in convincing my son to take my throne and crown from me if I refuse to do what he wants but he won’t be able to survive what’s about to hit him son” she smirked proudly “Terry by the time you realize what’s going on, it would be too late for you, even my
Leonna was totally speechless, what exactly could she say at this moment, she gently moved backwards turning away from Maria at once, her heart pounding really hard in her chest, how on earth was she to explain this? This was exactly what she was trying her very best to avoid, if only she knew that Maria would be at her door at such hour, she wouldn’t have tried to leave the room with the bottle of wine and glass cup, she kindly dropped both the bottle of wine and glass cup on the table and turning around, her gaze fixed on the floor while she waited for Maria to ask the numerous questions she had under her tongue, who wouldn’t turn inquisitive after seeing what she just saw.Maria gasped walking into the room, she shut the door behind taking a quick glance around the room “Leonna, what exactly is going on?” She asked almost in a whisper.The poor girl shook her head aggressively looking very scared, tears hanging in her eyes ready to drop at any minute, goodness she hated being found
Finally the day has ended and all servants gave retired to their various quarters, the entire palace looked very calm or should we say it has turned as cs as ice, the maidens who shared rooms whispered and gossiped in the darkness of their room over what transpired between the queen and Terry earlier in the day, most of them blamed Terry for being a talkactive, they accused him of wanting to find favour in the eyes of the king and finally turn the king against his own mother while the rest praised him for being honest and blamed the queen for hating Terry unnecessarily though they would never do this to her face for they feared for their dear lives and wouldn't want to be beheaded for anything in the world.Leonna in the brightness of her room all thanks to the queen who had earlier helped her turn on the lantern else she wondered how she would have successfully found the corner she had dropped the lantern, she was still caught in Maria's web, the pressure was really getting much but
The day seemed to have gone darker quickly, perhaps because of the heavy down pour which have left everywhere looking deserted and wet, puddles could be seen in the dark compound of the palace though a lantern was placed at each corner of it but that didn't stop the night from showing it's true nature, Joshua gradually walked down to Terry's room with both of his hands placed comfortably behind him, he seemed more worried than usual, both disappointment and fear could be visibly seen written all over his face, he feared that Terry might have lost the confidence he has in him as a friend and equally the trust, the fear that his mother have finally succeeded in turning them against each other was gradually taking the best of him and he couldn't deny how helpless he was feeling with each second that swept by, he sighed out loud swallowing every pride in him as he hace decided to apologize to Terry if that is the price he has to pay for them to sort things between them.Terry couldn't get
Joshua nodded "we might not have come from the same womb nor fed on the same breast milk but that doesn't mean we aren't family."Terry laughed out loud shaking his head "you know what Joshua? I stopped believing in this brotherhood of a thing you keep talking about the very moment you allowed me spend more than an hour in that dirty place, what the hell do you and your mother take me for? A puppet you can toil with? Your mother have made it clear that my stay in this palace irritates her, she have always treated me with so much hatred even when I was a kid and all I have done is obey every word she says and remain loyal to her yet she sees me as a bad werewolf, we aren't going brothers and we can never be, you know that so stop trying to play these mind games on me, a mother would never do to her son what your mother the queen did to me today, she wants me dead, can't you see it?"Joshua shook his head at once "my mother might not treat you right but I am sure she would never wish yo
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
