9 Chapter Nine

I still don't get it ,even when she's humiliated countless number of times by the king ,there is no way she would go against him . She married the King from her own will when she was ten years old .She has been married to the king for twenty nine years and was crowned head queen nine years ago . In the same year ,she became the crowned queen as well .

This means she's thirty - nine years old ,I asked calculatingly.

That's right ,Laura answered without hesitating . Because of this position ,she treats maids and servants anyhow .If you there to question her ,she sometimes orders her guards to bury you alive in a wall .She has no pity for her subjects and this what the king enjoys most .

Where is the noise from ? ,I asked Laura as it was quite unusual .

That is the sound of victory .Everyone in the kingdom is jubilating because the crown prince has conquered another kingdom which will be under the rule of Mugals ,hence the jubilation in the whole kingdom .

This day is auspicious because there will be a double celebration in the kingdom .For the first time in the history of Mugals ,a newly wedded bride has arrived in the kingdom bearing the witness of the victory of the crown prince .This has never happened before .

What is so special about it ? ,I asked Laura as she was speaking in a weird manner .

Krystal ,I don't know whether you believe in superstitions but this cannot be a coincidence ,I think whatever that has happened today simply means that there is a love story of two unequal fates that can be sensed . It feels as if happiness is knocking on a wounded heart . It simply means that you are lucky Krystal .Amidst your pain ,happiness has approached you .

She was acting so strange so I ignored her thoughts and focused on how to get my bruises healed .

Drink the tea now since it's now warm .If you want to get back on your feet like you used to then you should drink it quickly .A journey of a thousand mile begins with a step ,she said .

The king has sent this for you my queen ,Lydia said and placed the dresses and jewelries down and sought permission to leave .Lydia was one of my personal handmaidens .

Why did he have to bother to send me these dresses and jewelries when I had enough already from the ceremonial function ?

If King Duxan sent you these ,it means he was pleased with your attitude today and this indicates that he assumes ,you have learnt from your mistakes and you won't repeat them ever again .

I already told you that ,the one who keeps a good attitude in front of the king will live as a queen in this kingdom .If you keep on acting like this in front of him then he will learn to believe and trust you .It is only that moment that you will get to accomplish your goal .

This pearl yellow dress indicates royalty along with these shackles ,necklaces ,bracelets and earrings . The combination is good for making sounds in a music and dance ceremony .Everything shows that tonight ,you will be the queen who would sing and dance for the king in the ceremonial hall .

But why me ? ,my feet are still hurting and he still wants me to dance .How ruthless of him ?

Krystal ,he doesn't care about your wounded feet because he feels it's the punishment for your retaliation .

The good news is that ,he has chosen you to dance and sing for him this evening .

You must be kidding Laura ,how good is this news to me ?

All the eight queens are waiting for this opportunity especially to be decked up in this wealth and be proven special by the king .This way ,you can ask the king for anything you want and he shall grant it to you .

Come on ,he has already given me this chance already as a new bride .

I know that Krystal ,but that is only for today and it will expire tomorrow . You have only today to ask for what you want but after tonight ,you will put your hands under a promissory note along with the king that in any moment of your life as a queen ,what ever you will ask from the king shall be granted unto you without hesitation .This promissory note shall be kept in the archives until a newly wedded bride is brought home for this kind of special music and dance ceremony to be held .
