The Queen dark day.

"I wouldn't forgive this man, he made me act harsh on my beautiful maid this morning, I must serve him his portion of my anger too", wait who am I bragging for? 

The man without a heart? 

"The only thing he thinks of is himself, nothing more", she grumbled to herself in her cottage. Why should I be talking about his problem, when he doesn't think of mine? 

She was still judging to herself when a maid came to inquire if she would take a walk today, I quickly followed the maid, they are the ones cruising me in the Palace, where would we be going today

Lila asked? To see the mini zoo in the Palace, a zoo in the Palace? "Yes your majesty" 

"There is no day the king will just spend an hour taking me around the Palace," I said this to myself without Zia hearing. 

Aren't you going to tell his highness about our tour in the Palace Zia asked consciously? 

"Why should I tell him about my movement, when he doesn't tell me about his trip too", I think I am becoming arrogant to him now, and I believe he's overlooking me as his wife. 

Hala I know doesn't take seconds to strike his defaulters, I was lost in thought, your majesty are you here? Suddenly I gasped so fast as I replied to her yes, "I am here". 

What is burning you, my lady? "I can be of help", I am fine I shuffle myself to normal. "Let me see the king before we commence our trip. I did this because he might come looking for me as a baby. 

I remembered what he did to one of his guards that went to show me the golden sword King Keith acquired from his first trip to Kishala without his permission. The guard was ferociously beaten? 

The scars of the strokes are still well prominent on his back very mighty scars like a finger, I felt really hurt that day because I was the cause of the guard torture that day, I would have to stay indoors,

But my leg wouldn't obey my instinct. 

I vowed since that day I witnessed the wolf in Hala consume his guard never to dare him, who knows if it will be my turn one day to be whipped like that. 

"Let me tell my husband about our tour I said to Zia", "very necessary my Queen". 

Where could he be by now I asked? He is in the guard cottage, doing what? "I don't know your majesty". 

I wasn't angry though, just acting hard for Zia, let me see there. I parted Zia, sieving the words to say to him in my mind, I hurried down to meet him, on my way to the guard's cottage, I heard a voice adjacent to me. 

Lila, where are you running to? The queen is too mighty to run, who is chasing you or you are chasing yourself? The voice was his, I quickly held an automatic break like the confused dog in motion. "I was looking for you, your highness". You can take a girl from the village but you can never take the village from her. 

The king bundled another insult on me, Immediately I became drenched in shame and disgrace. My excitement to tell him about my movement was murdered in cold blood by him. 

What is so important that was chasing you to me? The great lion is here for you. I lost words to narrate my desire as I stepped back gradually rubbing my palm on each other. 

I was cold in my feet and my palm only, he advanced to me, my heart was in my hands, as usual, my eyelids have summoned all the tears in my eyes to themselves, he never cared for the drama I was putting on. 

"Don't let me call the Palace workers here he said", I almost packed off hearing this, "why must the rain choose to wet me and it thunder made me shiver today? 

My state of enthusiasm never made me pay attention to my spiritual counsellor. 

I was regretting my action. 

Oh, my mother!!! Another punishment to the innocent people? They might hate me or start avoiding me, I was discussing all this with my mind, and he was patient enough for me to come out of my bi-polar disorder state. 

How far did you travel with your mind he asked? I panted heavily hearing this from him, is this man a ghost or a seer, how did he know my thoughts? 

Now tell me who among the maidens or the guards subjected you to the marathon race, he asked politely, hmmm….when did he become a meek husband? But this question was a rhetorical one, he didn't hear me ask it and he wouldn't give an answer if he heard it. 

"Nobody caused me to race my husband, besides I was only walking very fast, I didn't race". Why did you hasten your movement? 

"Me and the maidens, eh!!! What happened to them? He obstructed my answer, we…we... I….I want to take a walk with them around the Palace. I jerked like a convulsing goat. 

Is this excuse tangible enough for you to race, I didn't race, I defended myself. 

He held me in my neck and said in a scary tune and his eyes red as usual when he is upset; no man or woman dared to challenge me. 

His palms were very hard, at this point I was begging for good breath because he was choking me. At that moment innocent tears dripped off my eyes. Seeing me share such tears he became weak and left me in regret. 

He took a few steps forward and made a sudden turn and grabbed my waist to apologise. 

I was deeply hurt but nobody apart from us that were in the scenario, did he want to strangle me again, I was vibrating in his arm. 

He discovered he has hurt me emotionally and psychologically, "I am sorry, I never mean to torture your emotions this way", he tried making peace. 

I wasn't convinced he was the one talking, my husband I know is too mighty to even apologise to the almighty he serves. 

"I never met to hurt you, but never be a coward to anybody notice, you are a queen and always behave like one. 

Royalties doesn't rush their walk, they walk like the tiger, possess this nature and all men and women will revere you.
