Scars

Celestia's scalp burned when a pair of hands made a rough tug on it, her long hair made it easier to access it, her mother dragged her out the kitchen and with made her slump on the floor, 'I knew it will come to this, I should've left sooner'

No tears can be seen from her face as if she's already used to every pain she feels. She shoots daggers with her eyes, that's all she can do anyway. She's been enduring it for years, one has the possibility to grow tired of love what more when in pain?

A hard slap landed on her cheeks, making it red, her head turn a few degrees right, she even spits a small amount of blood making Marie's hand become numb for a second.

"Do not dare to look at me like that you bastard's child" Marrie uttered every word in anger, Stella became worried for her mother, she's pregnant and in her last stage of pregnancy, she needs to be careful!

"What bastard's child? Your children should be the one to be labeled as that, poor them for having a mother like you, a woman who seduced a man, wrecked a family and made herself a queen" Celestia can't help but to retort back, she had enough.

Yes! She learned that Marie is behind the death of Veronica, the second queen.

Marie's face slowly became red from anger, she slapped Celestia's other cheek and even punched her stomach, Celestia groaned in pain, she is ready to fight back when Stella came in between.

"Mother you need to calm down, it's not good for the future King of this kingdom, Maids!" Stella supported her huffing mother and comforted her by giving small pats and massage. She gave Celestia a warning look, THE NERVE! SHE, Celestia, is the mistake! Not the other way around.

Stella has always been lenient to Celestia, not even doing harmful things to her but now, seeing her say those words made her blood boil, 'So this is what you are thinking about us huh?'

The maids were quick to take action upon hearing the voice of the second princess.

"What can we do for you your highness?" the old head maid greeted the queen looking back and forth to the commotion that is clear to be happening, she is followed by four more younger maids.

"Get my whip, the one with thorns made of metal and start giving Celestia 50 whips, she needs to be disciplined" Everyone in the room is shocked upon hearing the queen's order, 50 whips?! That's enough to kill a person adding the fact that it has small thorns.

This time, the queen is serious, and that made Stella and even the maids anxious but not Celestia, not her, not this time.

The Marie who cared for her is completely gone, her cloudy memories shattered, she can no longer forgive Marie no matter how much good she has done to her before. Who wouldn't get angry when you discovered that she's the reason behind the death of Veronica and her grandfather?

She had enough of the facade.
