The city of Atlantis was booming with music and in celebration over the return of the Queen. The news of her return had reached every corner of the city making it impossible for no one to not know about it.
The stadium was filled with people anxiously waiting for her presence.Livey was in castle attended to by maids, she had her packed into a ponytail and her dress was beautiful complimenting her figure.
A crown was placed on her head making her look like the perfect Queen.“What do you think?” She asked Ash who had been standing behind her all these while.He was amazed by her beauty that he didn’t hear a word she said.“Ash” she called him snapping him back.“What did you say?” He asked again with peaked eyes.“How do I look?” She said.“Ravishingly beautiful” he replied with a smile, royalty suited her so well that he couldn’t help but be relieved that she had cLivey woke up to a beautiful morning, she wore a silk blue dress and let her hair fall to the back, walking towards the throne room she had expected a few people to be there but she was shocked to see a mass number of people yet the line was non-stop.“Good morning Your highness, I told you there would be great outcome” Newton arrived immediately walking behind her.“I had not expected this much people” she answered, cleared her throat and walked into the throne room.Once she stepped in, they all bowed their head in respect to her, Livey took her seat near King Helon.“Bring the first person in” She ordered and the door was open, an average young man walked in and bowed before her.“May you love long My Queen” he said,“And you too” she replied with a smile,“Go ahead I am listening”“My Queen, for months now we have had shortage of water, our crops aren’t
It was beautiful afternoon for Livey in the city of Atlantis, she adorned herself while seating in front of the mirror waiting for a knock on the door.“Your highness, you have a visitor” Newton knocked on the door and she immediately came out. Livey walked towards the throne room with ease when she met a man wearing an ancient dark cloak with a staff in his hand waiting for her.“To what do I owe this visit?” She took her seat as she spoke, the man turned to her and she had never seen such a hideous creature before, he looked so ugly that she could almost puke at him.“Nothing much my Queen, just here to see how you are fairing, I heard that you were back” the man accessed her from head to toe checking out her body making her feel uncomfortable.“Keep your eyes to yourself” she warned him and he giggled.“Still feisty as always” he complimented.“Excuse me, have we met?” She as
(Flashback)A man laid on his bed sick to the core while surrounded by six people.“How is his health?” Lopez the leader of the council asked the healer,“Very bad, he has just a few minutes left” the healer answered and took her leave.There was silence in air after what the healer had said,“She didn’t have to leave like that after sharing such bad news” Luke said feeling sad for his King.“It’s okay, she has no business here” King Benjamin, the man who laid on the bed said, he had been sick for a while and knew one day his health would fail and he would have to leave this world.“I just wish I was given the chance to see my niece before I die” he sighed sadly,It had been two months since he sent Newton to search for his family and bring back his lost niece, he had hopes that he could see her before he died making her the Queen she deserved to be and then leave.
Livey took on her first official meeting to another kingdom accompanied by a lot of guards along with Ash and Newton on horses,Civilization hadn’t reached the city of Atlantis because it was so deep within away from the human world.Ash sat with her in the royal carriage while she complained for an hour how fast they could have gone if they used a car.“Three hours and we are still moving, I am beginning to think journeys were not meant for me” Livey groaned trying to sit up straight in such a small carriage.“You shouldn’t be bothered about the journey, it was your idea to grant their request of a visit in the first place” Ash answered.A royal invitation came from Shevar Kingdom requesting for the visit of the lost queen of Atlantis, Livey wasted no time to accept it because she wanted to see how other kingdoms were fairing and could learn a few things or two from them.“I know and I am beginning to reg
A horse galloping towards the city was enough for the gates of Atlantis to be open especially when the Queen was riding on the horse.Once they were in, Newton pulled the reigns and they halted, they turned back to see if Ash was coming but there was no sign of him.“Where is he Newton?” Livey asked panicking,It wasn’t her intention to leave him behind with that much witches and now she was beginning to regret it.“Let’s give him a little time” Newton stepped down from the horse and helped her down.“But he is taking too long, he should be here by now” she feared for his life more than her well-being and didn’t want any harm to come to him.“Let’s just wait a little while and he would be back, I trust he would be back” Newton assured her while taking her back to the castle.“I just hope so if not I will go to find him myself” She said while walking in with him.
A knock on the door woke Livey up, it was then that she realized that she had slept off.Thinking that it was Ash she ran to open the door but was disappointed when she saw Helon.“Good morning My Queen” he greeted with a warm smile, he could feel that his day would be blissful.“How may I help you Helon?” She said reluctantly,“May I come in?” He inquired and she let him in.“You want to speak with me” she sat on the bed while he sat on the chair.“Yes, I have something important to say” he readied himself.“When the title of the King of Atlantis was passed down to me, I promised the late king that I would take care of the people and I have done that for four years making sure that the people of Atlantis were all taken care of” He added.Livey raised her brow in question, ‘was it the same people he had made to starve while extorting everything they had from them
Ash hadn’t returned and Livey assumed the worst had happened to him,“Your highness, you called for me” Newton stood in front of her just away from her chambers.“Newton, gather the horses, I need to find Ash” she ordered.“You can’t leave the city, what if you got attacked again” Newton was worried for her, it was his duty to make sure that she was safe and sound and taking her out might inquire another attack on her.“What do your expect me to do, I need to look for him, he might still be in danger” Livey answered shakened up by her words, she believed the witches must have taken him captive or they had killed him.“I will go in search of him while you stay back” Newton said and she looked at him.“Please help me find him” she touched his shoulders and he nodded his head in response.Newton wasted no time in leaving the city a few minutes after he had talked to Livey, he rode as fast as he could into the woods until he got to exactly where they were attacked.The place was completel
Three days passed and Livey had failed to present Ash before the council, Thane tried all he could to defend her but his hands were tied.The engagement day was set and it came in two days.Livey sat in front of the mirror with a frown on her face,“How did her life get to this point?” She asked herself, she was now being forced to get engaged to a man she wanted nothing with.She had always thought of leaving the city but then Ash was dead and there was no one to be with her.Newton and Thane were still in Atlantis and they were the only family she had, she couldn’t leave the throne of her parents to a man who knew nothing about their hardship neither did he have royalty in his blood. It was up to her to take care of the people of Atlantis and this was the sacrifice she had to make.Livey was led to the grand hall where the people were all waiting for her, Helon stood in front of them with Lopez standing as the leader of the council to join them together.She walked gracefully toward
