14 Chapter Thirteen

What ! ,Alexa is pregnant ? ,but how could this be ,my unborn child should have been the king's only focus and now ,he will have to share his honour with Alexa 's child .This can't be happening ,I won't accept this ,Queen Gema says throwing her glass on the floor as Rachel tries to calm her down .

"Your highness ,the king's queen for tonight will be Queen Krystal .Her royal dress and jewelry have been delivered to her in her chamber and this news is genuine . As a result of the joy in the kingdom ,the music and dance ceremony will begin in any moment from now and the king wants everyone to present there ,a maid delivers this news and leaves " .

Noo ,Queen Gema shouts on top of her voice scattering every item in her chamber .

She drives away her maidens and guards from her chamber and leaves behind Rachel.

Rachel ,what is happening ?

My queen calm down for the sake of your unborn baby .If you continue to behave in this manner then you can suffer a miscarriage .The king's decision is final and neither you nor I can do something about it . I will not allow that girl to ruin in my plans just like that ,she will pay for this ,Rachel . I swear she will pay dearly for this .I will teach her where power lies .

Queen Cassie ,I suggest you should calm down .

Monica ,who calms down after hearing such a breaking news . Alexa is pregnant and to top it all up ,the king didn't notice me as worthy of anything and that 's why he chose his newly wedded bride as his queen for tonight . He chose the one who humiliated him in front of everyone ,as his queen .

Your highness ,think of it in this concept ,the king appointed Queen Krystal to dance knowing perfectly well that she can't dance on a wounded feet .This means that she will definitely retaliate the king's orders at the ceremonial function and this will give you the chance to have your floor .The opportunity is still there and nobody can rob you of it .You spent the night with the king even when he brought a new bride home which means this is a trap to humiliate and torture that small girl for sure .You know the king doesn't live his offenders unpunished .

You are right Monica ,why didn't I think of this earlier ?

I was just bothered over such a trivial issue .

Esther ,stop wandering around as if you don't know what the decision of the king is .

Queen Marga , I know what the decision of the king is but if you decide to retaliate ,you will be on the king's page of darkness .Your son is the crown prince and your respect is high as the head queen .Besides ,if you go against the king ,then your son will be stripped of his title as crown prince . Think about it my queen .You are not the only wife of the king who has given birth to male children .Other queens are waiting for this opportunity and your little mistake will cause your downfall .I suggest you relax so that we deal with that girl later , and right now ,Queen Alexa is pregnant which you should take note of .She has become another threat to your child and you can't overlook this issue .

You are right Esther ,I only need to find a way to make my son maintain his title and not lose it .

May you live long your highness because everything you said is falling into place .

Regina ,when I say something ,it means that, it shall be so .Just sit and wait for what happens next .

Queen Ryza ,you are such a great strategists .

Laura ,after everything you have said ,I now know how I'm going to live my life here in this kingdom .I have faced a lot already and I'm not going to allow any of the queens to taunt me .I will have to be strong if I want to go out of this fate that life has forcefully given to me . Many queens have tried and none succeeded but trust me when I tell you that I will get out of this fate .I will make history and in other to do that ,I will have to stop sobbing and crying all the time . The other queens may consider me as a weak and vulnerable fifteen year old girl so I know they will try their best to taunt me and make my life be better as hell in this kingdom . But by being strong and fighting back at them ,they will get to know that I'm not as weak as they considered me to be .

I have waited to hear this from your mouth Krystal .We will get justice and it will be that day that we will shed tears but not because we are in pain but because we have become victorious .

And that queen who is pregnant ,what's her name again ?

Alexa ,Laura said . She's not a threat and I know she has been looking for diverse ways to escape from this kingdom .

How do you know so much when you have been in this kingdom for only seventeen years ?

Krystal ,I love to spy on others to see what they are up to but that is for another day to talk about .

Alright then ,I need to know my enemies and my allies because I can't trust any of them .

But then ,anything other than that is" bring it on " .

Tonight ,I'm ready to dance on my wounded feet to please him but that is for now .In the future ,I promise you that I'll set myself free from this torturous marriage .

Hurry up now and deck me up for the function .I need to look my very best .

Without your make up ,you are still beautiful .Your beauty is beyond reasonable doubt .It looks as if you were specially made to be beautiful .That is one of the main reasons why the other queens are jealous of you ,Laura said covering my face with a veil .Don't worry Krystal ,after tonight all of those trying hard to see your face will definitely see it once you dance and take off your veil . Even the king will be amazed when he sees your beauty .

Hello lovely readers ,I wanted to add this up for your reading clarification .

Apart from the king and Laura ,no queen or maiden has seen the face of Krystal before since she has her face covered with a veil .Mostly ,newly wedded brides cover up their faces until the music and dance ceremony is held where the she's unveiled .

Music and dance ceremony held for newly wedded brides is special and forms a greater part of their culture .

The handmaidens who are testifying about her beauty to their queens have only guessed it from their own mental picture because the king paid so much treasure for her to be his bride .Among all the queens ,she is the one whom the king has invested a lot of treasure into .

Wooooowwwwwwww, this is my favourite part of the story
