They were welcomed by silence as soon as they reached the chambers.
There, Emperior Abdulrasheed Osama their Father was pacing up and down expressionlessly in his royal attire, the queen mother Habiba their Grandmother was on the edge of th bed with her expression serene, next to her was seated their mother, the queen Fatima, her expression.....unreadable.
The girls panicked as soon as they saw the expressions on the three's faces.
The Emperior stopped in his tracks when he sensed their presence, Suddenly he beamed and threw his arms open for........his pride, his favourite, his precious daughter, princess Meena.
"Come here your royal highness" he chuckled causing the other two to drop their acts too and joined him laughing.
For a moment, the girls stood frozen to their spots but then......squealed in joy at the realization that their sister was to be the next Emperior, 'No...not Emperior but .....Empress.
They all jumped at their Father except for Nabila who is maid and...Meena who just stood rooted not moving an inch and the next thing, she dropped to the floor and sobbed silently.
"Heeeyyy, you should be happy not sad dear, get up, get off the floor, my daughter is the future ruler of Nur - Sultan, the second female ruler, history will be witness to it, you are not just some ordinary person to be sprawled on the floor like this, come on get up my dear highness" her mother rushed to her as she helped her up.
"Do you know? I used to feel i'm lucky when i witnessed my Grandmother in-law rule, your great great Grandmother, the first female ruler in history but today, i feel blessed to see my own Grand daughter as the future second female ruler, i'm so proud of you my dear, the Lord has surely blessed me, i have witnessed two most important personalities, this is enough for me dear Lord" her Grandmother said as she went and stood beside her smiling sheepishly, holding her shoulder and wiping the remnants of tears that formed in her own eyes.
"Come to your father, your royal highness, come" her father coaxed as the other girls made way for the two to have a father and daughter moment.
Their Mother and Grandmother led her to her father and her father embraced her.
"Not only the entire Nur - Sultan, even this king looks up to you".
Everyone became Suddenly emotional that Nabila felt dizzy from rollercoaster of emotions, from fear to nervousness to panick to joy and now, to emotional. 'Oh lord, i'm bound to faint soin from all these' she thought.
Afreen cheered everyone up again by announcing. " we will celebrate this moment".
"Yes little one but not today, i have decided that Meena's crowning ceremony will happen in a forth night" her father said as he earned confused looks from everyone and then, he continued "on Meena's seventeenth birthday" causing everyone to cheer again.
