15 Chapter Fourteen

This was strange ,all of a sudden ,I had gained strength to face and challenge my fate .You can do this Krystal ,I looked at myself in the mirror .

"Everything is set for the ceremony my king .The guest and dignitaries are arriving to the ceremonial ground "

"Take your leave ,I will be there in a jiffy .Let's see how strong you are Krystal ,King Duxan says and chuckles to himself " . I'm curious to know how you would make it to the ceremonial hall tonight on your feet ,my beauty queen .

[Just then , four guards enter his room ]

"My king ,your work is done and we left behind no trace .We made sure all the guards were off guard before we executed your task "

"Good job guys ,he says throwing a package of gold coins to each of them .Those who serve King Duxan wholeheartedly will gain rewards "

" We love to only serve you ,your majesty .One of them said sweet mouthing the king as they took their leave ".

My dear ,you took a wrong turn by humiliating me ,King Duxan speaks to himself with a smile on his face .

After bearing all the troubles of waiting ,it was finally time for me to go to the ceremonial hall .I was decked up in the royal pearl dress and adorned with jewelries .I covered my face up with my veil as I wore my crown on it . It wasn't easy walking on my feet but I was ready to endure the pain to gain King Duxan's trust ,I said in disgust .

Wait ,I said to Laura and the guards along with my handmaidens halted immediately by my command .

My queen ,she called out publicly to show her humility and loyalty . What is the matter ?

I forgot to put on my shackles so I suggest we should go back so that I will put them on. You know my outfit is incomplete without shackles .

My queen ,please get down the stairs and I will bring your shackles to you .

Alright then ,Laura was really wise ,she didn't want me to walk on my wounded feet again . We were just fifteen meters away from the ceremonial hall and i liked her thoughts .

"My queen , my queen ,my queen ,please wake up ,the hand maidens chant these words as the guards secure the area all of a sudden .

Queen Gema ,it's time to go to the ceremonial function .It will begin any moment from now .

Rachel , how do I look ?

You look really beautiful my queen .

Alright then let's go ,I don't want to waste anymore time especially now that there is a probability of ninety nine percent that I will be the queen of the night. I 'm happy because all my dreams will fall into play ,she says this and smiles widely .

Everyone is set for the ceremony as all the queens are seated at the ceremony with their children .

"The great king of Mugal ,King Duxan is making an entry "

Upon hearing this ,everyone in the ceremonial hall rises and bow to the king while he enters and makes his way to sit on his throne .

Today is a very victorious day in the whole of Mugal kingdom ,King Duxan begins to speak .

My son ,the crown Prince of this kingdom ,Prince Wales has conquered another kingdom for Mugal .

"All hail the great crown Prince of Mugal ,Prince Wales ;son of King Duxan and Queen Marga "

"Hail ,hail .....hail " ,these words are chanted by everyone present especially the subjects of the kingdom " .

King Duxan continues to speak ;

My eighth wife ,Queen Alexa is expecting the forty sixth child of this kingdom .

"Hail the Queen Alexa ; hail ....hail " as chanted by the mouths of the subjects for a while .

To crown it up ,the most important reason why we are all here tonight is because we all want to witness the unveiling ceremony of my ninth wife who is also the ninth queen of the kingdom through music and dance ceremony. Queen Krystal will be my queen for the night and after tonight ,just as it is always done ,I will grant her wish once she askes for it .

She will begin the ceremony by showing us the skills she has got in music and dance.

After that ,she will be able to ask me for anything she sure wishes for .This shows how generous I am as a king and the affectionate love I have for all my queens ,king Duxan praises himself .

"This didn't seem to please the other queens at all ."

"He stretches out his hands to invite Krystal forward but her seat turns out empty "

It was strange that no body noticed that ,she wasn't present at the function .This was inauspicious since the function was held because of her arrival .
