Chapter 28Queen Cora's pov "My queen, these people can not go unpunished ,they should be punished for their evil deeds, " Sorceress Gamila, head chief of guards, protested ."Yes queen Cora, those pesky humans need to pay for what they did to our beloved princess , " sorceress Linda added .I had called a meeting with the royal council on the king and queen disobedience."I can't just attack them ,the queen wants to play a fast one on us ,she brought another bride for the prince and now he's being locked up because he protested , that's how despicable she can be ."My queen !We suddenly heard a loud voice and Jasmina no doubt was the owner .She looked scared and was panicking.Jasmina has been my watch woman at Lateefah's house ,she has been watching them for a week now and she also informed me about Nanuet being pregnant ."What is it, Jasmina?"I asked, seeing the look on her face.Something is wrong."It's the princess and her mother ,they are being attacked by blood thirsty de
Chapter 29 Queen Cora's pov "What do you mean by that ,how can I die , what is going on ."You made wishes Nanuet , witches don't make wishes because it takes something in return ,you ought to have been dead but thanks to your mother who shared her life with you when you were younger ,each wish you made has been taking your life ."You crossed the limit of wishes Nanuet ,you can only make three wishes ,but I am not surprised you aren't dead yet ,with the help of your mother and your guardian spirit Nikita, my daughter ,you have less than a month to live ," I explained."But no one told me about it. What about my baby and the prophecy and your daughter what's going to happen ?"Mother ,she called lateefah who had her head down as tears fell.I could tell why she felt bad, if only she wasn't too insecure there wouldn't have been so many problems .I turned around not being able to withstand what was going on ,I ordered Gamila to return back with her troops , while I thought
Chapter 30Naunet's pov I sat on the huge queen size bed placed in the middle of the spacious and elegant room , everything in the room was brown, even the bed spread ,all looked new and shiny .If I wasn't sad and had a very messed up life ,then I would have admired the room , touched everything and even bounced on the bed like a kid ,but all I could do at this moment was cry .I placed my hand on my stomach ,I felt relieved a little but it still hurt me very much knowing the fact that my child's life was in danger ,I really want to just die and leave this evil world but ,I will be greedy to neglect my child of his right because of the bad things Asim did to me ,not just my child but I can tell a lot of people are counting on me to save them with my child ,now I will have to swallow my pride for my child ,my mother , queen Cora and her daughter and the people who are counting on me ,I am ready to do anything to bring nothing but peace into this world .I no longer have my own life
Chapter 31 Queen Cora's pov" A* li *as ,I recited the last spell for the potion I was making and a green smoke emitted from it .I took a little portion of it into a small bottle and left my magic room .I walked out of my room heading straight to Naunet's .I got to the door and heard chuckles coming from the room. It made me glad ,but on second thought, who was actually making Nanuet laugh?I knocked on the door to acknowledge my unseen presence .I might be a queen ,but privacy and respect I give you my people with utmost gratitude.The door opened revealing Jasmina's daughter , Luisa."Good morning my queen ,she bowed ,I smiled and patted her cheek ,she looked so much like her mother, too bad she couldn't get any power .I walked into the room to see Naunet on the bed wearing a happy smile, and she was glowing like the sun at sunrise. Her powers are being affected by the happiness she portrays ."Good morning queen Cora , Naunet greeted ,when she saw me ."How
Chapter 32 Naunet's pov "Knock knock !"Who's there ?"Who's there who ?"Who ?"I don't know !*Hahaha*"You are so funny Luisa ,I chuckled, holding my stomach which was already aching from all the laughing I had been doing.After queen Cora left , Luisa helped me with getting my bath ready , before few maids brought in my breakfast , after which I took the potion queen Cora gave to me ,I had a little nap and woke up when Luisa brought in another tray of food for lunch ,I hadn't set my eyes on mother all morning and I was getting worried .Luisa got concerned with my gloomy face so she decided to tell me jokes after I was done eating ."I am not funny, I am Luisa ," she joked and I laughed almost falling off my bed ."Enough , don't kill me with laughter ,I pleaded, trying to suppress my laughter."I'm just doing my job ," she replied with all smiles."Thank you so much Luisa ,you are such a great person ,I have always felt it from the very beginning ," I said , wiping
Chapter 33TWO HOURS LATER........Finally the maids were done with dressing me up .I ordered them out and went to stand close to the mirror.I was dressed in a sea blue tuxedo , a matching shoe ,and pink tie , and the maids gelled my hair backwards leaving few strands to fall on my face ,they also did a little make up on my face ,light foundation matching with my skin and a little lip gloss on my lips to make it shine.I looked elegant but simple ,mom isn't a simple person neither is dad and I am pretty sure it wasn't that girl I am to get married to ,I wonder who picked up this color,it's my favorite color and the only person that knew about it was Akira ,did she pick it , maybe she's back ,I just hope so .Mom walked in disrupting my thoughts ,she was already dressed and looking really beautiful but she still wasn't smiling and it got me worried."Mother ,I called, going over to where she stood."Asim, my son ," she replied, now holding my cheek ,she had tears in her eyes again .
Chapter 34Naunet's pov "Naunet what are you doing ,your dress is ready and you are here eating , really ! Luisa complained after she caught me behind the garden present in Queen Cora's palace."Sorry I was just so hungry ," I replied , licking up my fingernails ."Well come on let's go get you dressed up ,do you want to be late for your wedding , " Luisa said and sigh remembering who I was getting married to."Oh no Nanuet not that face ,it's a big day for you , gloomy faces won't be tolerated ," she said in a funny voice and I chuckled lightly .It hurts so much to know that this is just a forced marriage , Asim doesn't really love me .I smiled a little and stood up.I just have to follow my mother's advice "do this for your child , never think of anything apart from yourself and your child,she had advised me."You are right Luisa ,no gloomy face ," I replied ."Great now ,you don't have to worry my king , mama is back to her senses ," Luisa said, her gaze on my stomach .I gasped
Epilogue Akira's pov I opened my eyes to come in contact with a blurry vision ,I blinked twice before it went back to normal .I stared around and remembered I was at the hospital , I had just given birth hours ago and I went into deep slumber .My whole body felt sour and weak ,I didn't know child bearing was that painful ,I almost went crazy because of the pain I was feeling ."Oh ma'am you are awake ,I heard someone say and I turned to see a nurse standing close to a baby crib ,with my baby in her hands."My baby ,I whispered weakly stretching my hands towards her ,she smiled and handed him to me ."I will get the doctor ,since you are now awake, and the princess also ,she has been eager to see you ,she said leaving me confused and scared, she walked out without another word.*Why does Naunet want to see me ,is she here to take my son away from me ? *I will never be able to see him again , because of my foolishness.Tears left my weak eyes as I stared at his calm
Chapter 60 Naunet's pov "Where did they go, what did you do ,now I know you are not human ,you are a witch too ,get them back here or else the king dies , " Akira threatened ."Akira what the hell is wrong with you ,what have you become , " Asim asked."You are asking me what's wrong ,I will tell you what's wrong , after everything we shared Asim you went ahead to marry this pest immediately I disappeared and you claimed to love me ,is that what you call love ,she said trying to play the *it's not my fault card*."You of all people knew I loved you ,I did everything for you but how did you repay me ,oh yes by sleeping with my best friend ,you betrayed me for what reason , what did he have that I didn't ,I was better in every way ,I guess you were just too blind to see that ."You never loved me Asim ,if you did you wouldn't have gone running around with everything on your skirt ..."But you never believed I could change ,you never tried to make me change ,you t
Chapter 59 Luisa's Pov "I feel restless Akila , today seems to be kind of odd ," I said to Akila as I arranged my bed."Me too and I cannot foresee what wants to happen , we have to be extra careful today and very vigilant. Who knows today might be the day Akira tries to kidnap the king ," she said and I couldn't help but think about it ."So what do you suggest we do now ," I asked restlessly."We should split up ,I would watch over the king and make sure he is safe, while you watch over the queen ," she suggested."Are you sure it would work out just fine , " I asked , feeling scared ."We have to give it a shot , don't be afraid nothing wrong will happen ." I don't really know if I can believe that right now ,this feeling is intense ,I have never been this restless in my life before Akila ," I said , pacing around in panic."Put yourself together Luisa ,no matter what the danger out there is we will overcome it ,cheer up and try being the brave woman I know ," sh
Chapter 58 Naunet's pov "When is she going to wake up ,I heard a voice that sounded like my mother's."Soon maybe , " another voice replied."Isn't it taking too long?I heard Asim's voice and my heart started beating really fast. Is he really alive?I thought he died and left me alone .Or maybe it's just my imagination."Calm down Asim , she's going to wake up soon ,she got really exhausted, that's what happened , she's fine .He is really alive, it's not my imagination , thank goodness.I heard giggles from a baby ,my baby ,my son ,I hadn't held him or even fed him like mother's do .I am now a mother ,I couldn't help but smile inwardly ,why was I still wasting time ,I want to hold him now .I slowly opened my eyes and met so many worried faces but I didn't find Asim in any of them ." Asim ,I called trying to get up from the bed but they all stopped me ."He's right over there ,mom pointed behind queen Cora,she moved away and I saw Asim and my baby , he got up immed
Chapter 57 Akira's pov "Get out and don't come back here until my demands are met ," I yelled at the incompetent maid that scurried out immediately.I have been so grumpy lately ,this pregnancy is taking a toll on me ,my stomach is huge and I am now really fat. It's so annoying. A perfect model like me with such a huge bump and plumpy body ,it's disgusting,I hate the sight of myself."My lady ,urm Macdonald's is closed please you have to wait till it's morning we promise to get your meals for you ,Jane the stupid head maid said getting me unimaginably angry.I picked up the small vase near me and threw it at her ,she screamed, dodging it off and moving far away from me ."If you idiots don't get my meals , everyone will pay for it ,I promise you that ," I yelled angrily."Yes my lady ," she said, making my blood boil.I took off my slippers and threw it at her even though I knew it wouldn't get to her ."I am the queen here,why is it so hard for you all to get that ,
Chapter 56 Clara's pov I cried bitterly, staring at Asim's cold body. He was already healed but it was too late. He didn't wake up .He was dead and gone all because of my stupidity. If only I never went to Finn ,he wouldn't have gotten hurt .I felt more pain because ,not only Asim died but the princess , their souls were bound together , and they were likely to share the same life. I just made a poor child an orphan because of my greed.I felt really guilty and heartbroken.Everyone was staring at me with anger in theirs eyes , mostly Tamara ,she would have done something to me and Finn but my mother held her still by placing the baby in her care ,I felt ashamed of myself,I couldn't even look at my mother in the eye ,but I knew she was highly disappointed in me ,if only they didn't arrive with me I would have killed Finn myself because he deserved it ,I was no different and I was also ready for my punishment."Am sorry ,I appologized for the uptenth time ,but got no respon
Chapter 55 Finn's pov "Come on give me that last push Naunet I believe in you," Asim said to Naunet who was in tears ,pain clearly written on her face .It angered me so much, she's in pain because of him and he's going to pay for it, for making her cry this much I will end him.I searched around but couldn't find Clara ,she was supposed to be here with me now that we had the opportunity to get rid of that baby .But I am capable of doing it myself , she's going to regret not being here to assist me .I came out from where I hid myself ,they both looked surprised to see me , Naunet frowned deeply and Asim noticed it."Please my wife and I need some privacy ," he said and I scoffed ."You should be the one to leave , because she belongs to me ,I said and he stood up in amusement."Excuse me , what's that supposed to mean?"I am not joking around,so leave while you still have the chance to ."Don't play stupid pranks here ,my wife is in labor and we need our privacy so pleas
Chapter 54 Naunet's pov "Arrrrrg ” I yelped, feeling so much pain .My body ached badly , and the pain I was feeling was unbearable. Asim tried so hard to comfort me but it wasn't working,I just wanted the baby out of me ,I was getting wild in pain hitting him continuously ."Please Naunet , we have to do this on our own , remember the world will be saved , and we will have our child that we have longed for ,he will call you mother and me father , but only for if you push him out Naunet ,are you ready ,he asked and I groaned in pain ."Yes please I am ready just get him out of me ,I cried helplessly."Alright give me your best push ,you are the strongest woman I know so make me proud ,push really hard ,he said and I gave into his words and pushed so hard ,I felt my core tearing open as something moved out a bit .Asim smiled and kissed me ,"you are doing great Naunet give me one more , just one more push and make me the happiest man in the world ,he said and I n
Chapter 53 Naunet's pov I sat on my bed feeling really heavy and tired .Tamara had stepped out to get me some fruits and Asim wasn't back from the forest with the children .That has been his daily routine , taking the children out to the forest and spending time with them.I could tell that he was training to become a great father to our son , and I couldn't be more proud.I placed my hand on my bump, caressing it softly and thinking about what my child was going to look like ,me or Asim or both ,it would be amazing ."Aunt Nanuet ,I heard my name close by and it was Tyler's voice .He suddenly ran into my tent ,with sweat all over his face and he was panicking ,soon the other children all started trooping in with faces that made my heart beat faster than normal .I searched around but didn't find Asim and I gulped nervously sweat forming on my head ."Aunt Naunet it's uncle Asim , he's in the forest , he's dying ,he got beaten by a snake , Tyler said breathing heavily
