Chapter 15 The truth has to be buried

"So that's it! Here's it. A fairly vote and just as you've promise Margaret. Can I go ahead and do whatever I want with her now? Queen Maya ask as she nodded her head sadly. "Yeah! You definitely won! She stated sadly as a smile crept through her lips. " Have her executed immediately",
Queen Maya ordered as some of the guards gripped hold of her. " How do you want us to kill her your majesty? Do you want her roast to death or an arrow piercing on her body as she will whines in pain before dying.
"I like the last part! An arrow in her eyes! She utter as the bodyguard hurriedly tied her on the standing wood. Anne look at her friend who was already crying at the moment as she wish they could spare her life but it wasn't possible. This people are too heartless to know the value of life.
"Kill her!" Just as they were about to shoot her with an arrow, an unexpected voice rasped in. "What's going on?" It was non other voice than the King which made the bodyguard to put a stop to the killing.
Queen Maya was boiling up at the moment the King walk in with grace. "Ohh grace how could you?" She muttered under her breath as the king face her.
"My king I was.....! " I'm not here for an explanation! Just released this innocent girl! You can punish her if you feels like you can't forgive her easily. "I just hope you wouldn't kill anyone without replying to me what they did! Without hesitation, the king glare at grace as he walk away.
Queen Maya was angry and couldn't get off her eyes from grace who was currently happy at the moment. Why wouldn't she be happy since this was her ideas of spoiling her plans.
"Let her go after whipping her with a rode. She commanded and walk away immediately. Queen grace walk to her room after all feeling very proud of herself because she just save the girl life. She was actually the one who had gone to report the situation to the king and the king of course had warned her not to report this kind of things to him again that he wouldn't help her.

Anne was so thankful for her life. She was grateful that she wasn't killed and it's all thanks to the fourth Queen who she had seen with the King coming in which made her suggest that she's actually the one that had save her. Anne struggle to the maid quarter with her wounded leg which had been smacked by a rode.
"I'm really sorry Anne! I'm really sorry for the trouble and problem that you pass through! Lucy apologize as she began to press the lega with hot water. "Ohh mine why are you so sorry lucy? You probably did nothing wrong okay! I should be the one apologizing for everything I had pulled you through because I knew that I wouldn't have gotten into this mess if I had acted so humble knowing that that's all I got to survive here.
Because if I got to stay here, I have to live by the rules! I have to be so humble like a scorpion who doesn't find trouble but just go on his own. After Lucy was done pressing the wound, Anne lay to sleep as she took a good deep sleep of two hours before a maid came to ask of her from Lucy who had decided to wake her up.
"Anne wake up! The fourth Queen request to see you! Lucy utter as she jerked up from the ground immediately. "Who..... The Fourth Queen? She ask in total dismay shocked and surprised of the reason why the Queen must have request to see her. Could it be that she's planning to kill her as well? She thought as she went outside and saw a woman waiting for her.
"Please follow me!" The woman putting on a maid uniform utter as she follow her from back. They soon go to the chamber as she stood at the door. She was scared to enter inside. "Come in! The queen is patiently waiting for you inside. The woman assure as she walk inside and finally got to the Queen room. It was so damn beautiful.
"Good afternoon my Queen! She greeted her head bowed in obesiance as the Queen stood up and hold her Palm! " What's your name and where are you from? Queen grace utter staring at her keenly as she felt so uncomfortable with the way the queen was looking at her at the moment.
Could it be that something was wrong? Could it be that the Queen knows her from somewhere. She was brought to reality by her questionable gaze as she took a deep breath.
"I'm Anne! An orphan precisely I guess because I grew up living on my own and I don't think I have a family. My life had always been this way and all I just wanted was to survive and then look for my parents one day because I definitely know that I will met them if they're alive right now.
Anne utter as nervously run through her. Grace turn her back to her when tears threaten to fall down from her eyes. She saw the look. She knew it! She knew that Anne was one of her triplet by her voice, her look and her character which she also possessed with Zelda her son!
This is actually a mess right now! What's she gonna do? She really want to get close to her daughters. But is the other princess Alive? What's her fate at the moment? Was she adopted into a royal family or a slave one? Is she even adopted? Is she still alive? That was the question pumping out of her head at the moment as a bunch of tears fell down from her eyes.
What's she really going to do at the moment? Could she watch her child being killed before her own eyes? Could she watch her child living in a miserable while she live like a Queen? Maybe she have to tell the truth to stop all this commotion and confusion right now. She just have to tell them the truth now before it's too late but then again, she will be force with consequences if the truth were to be revealed.
People will definitely look down on her and perhaps she wouldn't be respected again by those who respect her before because they will see her as a lair queen so maybe the truth has to be buried. It doesn't have to be revealed after all because she knew that it's gonna hurt innocent souls
"My Queen; thank you so much for saving my life back then because I knew that you were the person who had called the king! You're so nice! I wouldn't know where I would have been if it wasn't for you! Thank you so much I'm most grateful.
" What's your wish?" Grace ask after a long silent. " To met my parents one day and get the chance to live. "The chance to live? Yes my queen! I don't think I will live long here if I stay here. She honestly said.
" So you want to get out of here right?" The queen ask like she had read her mind. "Yes my queen! I really wish for that to happen! She said as the queen face her. Then you and you friend should get ready and let me know when you're ready so I can tell the guards to take you guys to another village.
"Oh my God! This is a big opportunity for me and my friend! Thank you so much ma'am! I'm forever grateful and I won't forget your kindness! You are free to leave now!
On her way out, she met with Queen Maya who she later greeted and walk out of her view immediately.
*****
Queen Maya was stunned to find Anne coming out of grace chambers as she thought of the relationship they must have had. Like seriously, there's something really strange there! Why would she had save the girl life back then? Could it be that they know each other? She thought as her maid announce to her present to her.
"Your majesty; Queen Maya is here to visit you!" The maid bellowed at her as she heard her reply. "Let her in"
"What was your plan for interfering with my business grace? Queen Maya ask immediately she came in face to face with her. "I did nothing but to save an innocent girl's life who doesn't deserve the death paneltry which you have given to her.
"Are you really sure that that's just it or perhaps there isn't something going on with you guys for...... "Something like what", she cut her speech off as Maya took a deep breath.
"I might never know but it seems like you knew the girl but apart from that you're gonna pay for what you did! For shattering my plans and whatever relationship you have with this girl, I'm sure that I will figure it out soon and when I do, I will ruin your future. She threathen and wake away.
