Chapter 14 Anne went to the maid quarter in the feeling so sound. She doesn't just know what to do
Anne went to the maid quarter in the feeling so sound. She doesn't just know what to do as she was confused whether to run away from the problem which had currently befall her or embrace it. At the moment, she was still confused. "What did princess Junko said? Did she forgive you? Did she spare your life? Lucy ask with a worried countenance as she nodded her Head sadly. "No she didn't! I will be beheaded very soon! Anne utter as her eyes widened open making her flinch in shock. " But that's impossible! I mean how can someone be so heartless! You actually did apologize to her but now this... She pause her statement and then look at Anne, or did you do another thing? She ask with a petrified voice as Anne nodded her head. "I actually slap!*. Oh my gosh Anne! How could you lay your hands on her?
How could you do that now I understand everything! She was so angry and hurt when you lay your hands back at her Anne! You know what? You should definitely learn how to control your anger
Lucy Utter as she sighed deeply! "Please Lucy I need you to do me one favour! I'm going to escape out of this palace right now and please don't try following me because it might be that this place could favour you, but not me! I need you to keep quiet of where I had gone to if they came looking for me or if they interrogate you
"But Anne I think you can report this to the king or one of the queens! I'm sure that they might spare your life! Lucy utter with concern as she nodded her Head. "They will do nothing Lucy because I've already know the kind of people they are
They're a very heartless set of human being and I think I can't survive living here but I guess that you can! I have to go now! "Ohhh Anne but you don't have to do this! I will really miss you! Lucy utter almost in tears as they hug each othe
"I will miss you too Lucy! Please take care of yourself because I will come back to visit you someday! Make sure to stay alive! Anne had utter as they disengage from the hug. Without hesitation, she quickly turn back and luckily she didn't found anyone as she continues walking. Walking through the back where she could found a way out
Anne heard the sound of footsteps approaching in as she stop to hide from whoever the person might be

Immediately Anne left the maid quarter room, two bodyguards came to ask of her but got no reply as they went back to report the situation to Queen Maya who had send them this errand
"I'm sorry to say this my queen but we couldn't found her! She wasn't in the maid quarter when we got there as we've already search everywhere for her. The guards reported as Queen Maya stood up from her chair in ange
"What do you mean you couldn't find her? Common go find her and bring her to me right now. "How could you stand before me and be uttering those stupid words from your mouth? Do you have a death wish! "No my Queen please forgive us! We will go and find her immediately. They apologize as they walk away while in the process, Queen Maya called the attention of many bodyguards to search for Anne. It seems like she's currently hiding from them at the moment

Lucy also who was in trouble was currently hiding the main kitchen where a hands gripped hold of her. Her eyes widened open at the moment when she felt the present of some guards. "Let go of me! Where are you taking me to? She roar at the bodyguard as they continue dragging her along with the
Lucy decided to give up since her howling was all in vain. Her heart skip when she sighted Queen Maya, because she's certain that the woman standing before her right now is no other person but queen Maya, probably princess Junko mother because they look so much alik
"Good morning your Majesty!" So as not to be frightening or scared because of what I just witness, some bodyguards came to me and drag me to you so I'm just pondering if there's any work you want me to do
"I mean I'm very good at any type of work and you can of course recommend me for anyone which you've gotte
"Wow! A smart little girl hoping to outsmart me! I shouldn't be surprised anyway because you're friend with Anne which means there's (50% chance you will behave like her
"I don't know what you are talking about your majesty!" Who's Anne? I mean is there a girl named Anne? Lucy ask like she had no ideas of what the queen was talking about at the momen
"I'm not surprised that you're giving me this act but I'm just gonna ask you a simper question and I will let you go if you answered me correctly! " Where's your friend.... Anne
"I'm so sorry your majesty! Maybe you've mistaken me to be her friend but I'm not! I don't even know her! She utter with an innocent face as Queen Maya give the guard a sign to whipe her leg which they did. She roar in pain at the moment they whipe her with a rode
"Speak out and stop wasting my time!" I know Anne is your friend! Where's she? The queen utter as she shuddered in fear. "I have no idea of wherever she might have gone to! I haven't even seen her this morning. She replied with a trembling voice as Queen Maya took a deep breath. "Whipe her until she speak out the truth!" She commanded as they continue to whipe her more. " Stop!" She rasped at them after some time and still, she wasn't saying anything. What a loyal friend she was
***
"Seems like you aren't gonna speak out no matter how many rode they give to you! But I definitely know what will make you speak out and I'm definitely sure that you will speak out when you see life and death. She utter as the bodyguard drag her to where she was currently matching to. She was on her way to the back of the palace where some execute act takes plac
Lucy didn't wanted to betray her friend! She didn't wanted to break the promise which she make to her about keeping quiet about this. She just want her friend to escape out of here freely without being caught and guess what? They will obviously catch her if she show them the part she had run to
"What do you see around dear?" Queen Maya ask her when they go to the place. "A normal fighting equipment! She utter sarcastically as the Queen was force to laugh. "I'm sure by the time you saw yourself up there, you will get to understand! The queen utter in a devilish whisper voice as shiver send down her spine. She was already scared at the moment I don't know if she could just tell them the truth to save her life.
And in other way around, even if she tell them the truth, they will also kill her friend. And at the end they both loose. People started to come around to watch how she was going to die as they tied her up in the standing wood. She took a view at the people and could see how happy they were according to Queen Maya who had filled them with some lie
"That's not true please don't believe her because she's lying to all of you! Lucy bellowed at them as they were all so happy looking towards her to be killed! How could they be so heartless? She thought as she scanned Through the Queens who were standing at one side, waiting for her to be killed too. But one of the Queen who was standing at the last side of them caught her attention
She was looking at her with a watering eyes. Perhaps she was different from the other Queens who was cheering Queen Maya up to do her wickedness. The king just came in look at what was happening and went Back. He just left like that! I thought bewildered of what's bound to happen to me
While from where I was standing, I can see some of the princes and princesses trying to come out of their chamber but they weren't grounded. Many guards surround them to avoid them from coming out.

Anne who had been hiding in one place since finally come out after she couldn't find or sight any of the maids. It seems like they've all went Back! She thought as she continues walking and just then, she saw two maids gossiping at each othe
"I will try as much as possible to write a letter to my family so they could come pick me out of here! I can't continue serving this palace! The maid on a red ball gown utter as the one on a blue ball gown sighed deeply. "Seems like a good idea! We have to escape out of here because I just can't believe that Lucy is about to be executed right awa
It hasn't been long that innocent girl got here but now just look at, she will be executed and very soon, it will be our turn! The two maid utter as her eyes widened ope
"What do you just say?? She rasped at them not minding if she will be caught anyway. "Wait aren't you Anne? The maid they've been searching for? They ask as she nodded her Head. " Oh my God! Your friend is about to be executed in replace of you! Wait what? When? Right now! The two of them chorused at the same time as she rush out of them and went straight to the noise and crowding place which she was seeing and hearing at the moment
"Stop! Pleased stop! She scream out of them while struggling to get into the midst of them. The guards were stop by Anne appearance as they were about to plug out one of her eyes with an arro
"Please stop this!" She shouted pulling everyone's attention. "It's me you wanted right? You got me here I am so please don't harm he
" Don't kill her I beg your pardon! Here I am and you got me right? You can go ahead and do whatever you want with me! She rasped at them as Queen Maya walk towards her. "Finally you came!" I'm sure you felt so guilty for your innocent friend! And of course you wouldn't want someone else paying for the sin which you've committed do you
"No I don't which is the reason I've come to accept whatever punishment it was even though it means me dying but always know that, my innocent soul will cry for justice. She utter as Queen Maya laug
"And who do you think will avenge for you after you've die? Nobody will but I surely know that my soul will cry for justice. "Listen people of melayu Kingdom!" Since I will be gone in few minutes anyway let me just say the trut
"I know that you all want to be ruled with a king who has sense of humour! A king who can rule with compassion and of course of rules but your king" king Alfred had failed to do tha
He had failed to set an example to this palace! To your village! And I won't regret saying that your king is a non nonsense man who just care for himself and family. Probably he only care for himself because as long as I could remember......."enough of your speech you slave!" Take her now and kill he
Queen Maya utter in frustration as the guards walk towards her about to drag her. " Stop! Let her complete her statement
Queen Margaret interfere as the guards step down immediately. And of course Queen Maya has to let her continue because she has to Obey Margaret since she's the first queen which made her give her such respect
"I aren't scared of speaking my mind right now because I knew that I will be dead anyway! You will kill me right for slapping your daughter? It was just a simple mistake and I didn't even mean to It. I mistakenly poured drink on and apologize immediately but since she was an arrogant proud princess she went ahead and lay her hands at me! She slap me and today she repeat the slap but I could help it but give it to her bac
And just try imagining that I was your child which this happened to what are you gonna do? Are you really going to kill me or punishment? But since you all live with proud being born into a royal family wouldn't understan
You guys should consider everybody as one! You guys should try treat everyone equally so that, that way everybody can live together. Anne utter as she went to hug her friend
"What do you think of doing before Lucy? Were you planning to end your life because of me? Anne whisper to her ears as Queen grace heart began to beat so fas
"She's right Queen Maya! And i plead on behalf of her, please let her go! She's an innocent girl who shouldn't be killed because of a simple mistake! I think you should forgive her! Queen Grace spoke from where she was standing as everyone turn to glare at he
"Grace is right Maya! You should definitely forgive her and give her a punishment if that's up to you instead of killing a smart innocent girl like her
Queen Margaret added as Queen Lilian cleared her throat. "I know that each and all the maid had always been so jealous of the princess and I can tell that she had poured the drink on her intentionally yesterday. And today she supposed to respect the fact that princess Junko was angry which was the reason why she had slap you but since you were so envies of her, you slap her bac
So my point here is, Anne should be executed for what she had done
"So you see Margaret! I can't spare her life! She needed to be dead! " But what if we ask the village people to vote for her! If they want her dead, then you can go ahead and kill her but if they want her alive, you've to spare her life! How do you see that
Queen Margaret suggested such ideas as she nodded her Head! "Good ideas anyway but I hope you wouldn't go back to your words! She utter and step forward facing all the village people who was presen
"I'm sure you all heard what happened!" If you really want Anne alive don't raise your hands but if you want her dead, raise your hands! Queen Maya commanded as almost all the villagers raise their hands u
Anne heart skip immediately on knowing the fact that she will be joining her ancestor soon without finding her parent
Grace was scared after finding out that people really want her dead and there's probably one way she could save he
