7 Chapter Seven

I was not used to this pain and torture at all although I admit I didn't like my lifestyle while living in my father's kingdom but this torture and brutality was never done to me .In my father"s home ,I faced injustice ,he kept me away from light and hid me in darkness for his own selfishness .Before I could outer another word to Laura ,I had already slept off like a newly born baby .

I woke up with a strong headache and sat on my bed while Laura was sitting by my side with a cup of tea which had a herbal smell .

Take this ,she said and calmly handed it over to me .

What is this ? ,I asked as the scent of the tea was too strong .Normally ,herbal teas don't have strong scent like the one I was holding .

I know you are confused about whether you should take in the tea or not but then ,there is no poison in this ,she said sarcastically .

After what ever that has happened in my life ,I couldn't trust anyone but I don't know why I felt as if I could rely on Laura .There was something special about her which connected me to her .

I'm seventeen years old and an orphan .

My parents used to serve the king in this kingdom but they were both killed when my father stole food for us to eat .They used to serve in hard labour in this kingdom but the king never appreciated their efforts .They were hardly fed since they served in hard labour so my dad decided to steal some food for my mum and I to eat when we had nothing to eat .Back then ,we were so poor and had nothing so I guess circumstances led my father to take such a step but in as much as he begged ,he was not forgiven ,instead he was brutally killed along with my mum .

I was just six years old when I was taken as an atonement for the mistakes of my parents .Even after they were brutally killed ,I served a sentence then as working as a maid and I'm still serving a sentence for that .This injustice made me live an agonizing life filled with pain and sadness .Seeing your parents die before your eyes is enough to break any child .

Ever since then ,there has been nothing but hatred in my heart for the king and his kingdom .Slowly ,I learnt to live this fate by strengthening myself .I stopped sobbing and crying because that brought me nothing but torture .The wounds are still fresh in my heart and I know I will never be able to heal my wounds unless I get justice for my parents .

I only relied on myself but ever since you arrived ,I felt as if I could lean on you .I know we are from two different sides but our stories seem similar and that's why ,I feel I can confine in you as a friend . It doesn't matter if you came into my life yesterday ,I just know that we will do great as a team .This is the main reason why even though I'm your maid whom you can order around anytime ,I still speak to you with boldness and confidence .

So Queen Krystal ,this is the first part of my tragic story .

Here I was thinking that I was the only one who saw my mother die right in front of my eyes when I was six but it seems ,everyone has got this secret that they hardly share .She didn't shed a tear while telling me her story which meant that ,until she finally gets justice for her parents ,she wouldn't shed a tear ,I thought comforting her with my hands on her back .

By the way ,when we are alone ,call me Krystal because now we have become friends and besides ,you are two years older than me so you have become like my elder sister .Thank you for sharing such a delicate part of your life with me .This shows that our friendship will go a longer way .

You are the only queen that treat your servants and maids as one of your own .It makes me happy that I serve you Krystal .
