Everyone present was waiting for Jennifer to say something. At least she was the Chief's maid. She should have a report to give and also give an account of how the sacks of foodstuff went missing. " I think the soldiers that you sent to search Jennifer's house should be out by now." The Queen asked Princess Diana. "Ohh! Sorry that we didn't seek permission before we sent soldiers to search your house. Please can you tell us what happened? Because being quiet won't solve anything. I am giving you the chance now." The Queen said. One of the soldiers that went to search her house entered. "Yes my Lord, we have searched her house and we found many sacks of foodstuffs in her basement.

She will remain within the building and she would call on them if there is a need for her to do so.Immediately she said that all her escorts including the guards took a U-turn and returned to their post while some walked passed her. She was alone with her best friend Isabella. She had realized that Isabella does not feel so good and won't relate well, she would just be moody and won't alter a word.

Jennifer was locked up in the guardroom to pass the night before she would be taken before the king for the final judgment, whether out of the king's infinite mercy, she might be forgiven or she received the punishment she really deserved. The room was well-arranged and properly ventilated. She was provided with a small bed and covered clothes and served the meal she demanded. Fruits and other add up were made available to her. All things were made available for her because she is yet to be declared a criminal and it is a great offense and a great disrespect to the law of the land and humanity generally to refer to her as a criminal when she is yet to receive final judgment from the king is the kingdom, Abasia Kingdom.

Jennifer pulled herself to her feet. For a moment everyone thought she might faint. She tried to avoid her relatives, particularly her mother's eyes. But she could not. She expected her mother to look at her with contempt after hearing about those shameful things she had done. She did not doubt that she had failed everyone and had put to shame the name and the image of the family. Though she was happy about her mother, she never regretted what she had done.She never for once accepted what she had done to be bad. Then she took a deep breath and began.
