Chapter 31

"King Fedina, am just here to remind you not to forget your duty as a husband to your new wife, you should try and have dinner with her as your new family and not always act cold towards her and you should also consummate your marriage with her so as to possible give us an heir," Queen Latifa told him in a sweet voice and he stiffened

"Wow!," He exclaimed as he finally finished eaten his chicken sauce, he put down his plate and wash his hands in the bowl next to him.

"I don't know mother you are a good coach and also my new advisor really?," He questioned as his gaze turn colder towards his mother, she could feel his cold gaze but she wasn't scared or affected by it.

"Am still your mother Your Majesty and you should do what's needful of you to do and ensure peace in our kingdom," said Queen Latifa as she turned her back against him, he calmed and replied her,

"Is still very much early for that mother, am not so eager to have the witches protection and you know this, in as much as Queen Felicia is also from the royal lineage that doesn't mean she more closer to me or should I say, purer to me like Alesa is, I have only agreed to marry her so as to secure the throne before other extended royal family will start having it in mind to gang up against me, So you shouldn't worry mother, Am still strong and still Fedina nothing will ever go wrong again as these is my new command, witches protection or not am still very strong, so you shouldn't worry, You can leave now,." He said, just as he dismissed his mother, she turned and stared back at him, before she sighed and left his room, going back to her chamber she decided to stop by Queen Felicia room to speak to her about her son's behavior as she knew no matter how strong Queen Felicia put up with the act that she's was very fine and good, she wouldn't truly be happy, if her son continues this way.

Knock knock! Queen Latifa stood by the door knocking on it. Queen Felicia maid came and opened the door, seeing Queen Latifa she immediately bowed her head low and greeted the Ex Queen "Good evening Your highness."

"Is Queen Felicia in?," Queen Latifa questioned immediately as she didn't want to waste any much of her time.

"Yes your highness," replied the maid whom seriously bowed her head low.

"Tell her I need to speak with her now or if I may come in?" questioned Queen Latifa and the maid nodded her head and went back to inform Queen Felicia, "Queen mother is here to see you," she said just as she stood with her head bent low in front of new Queen Felicia.

"Ask her to come in," replied Queen Felicia and the maid immediately left and went back to allow Queen Latifa back into Queen Felicia chamber.

Few minutes later Queen Latifa came into Queen Felicia room. "I need to discuss with you," she said as soon as she spotted Queen Felicia.

"Greetings Queen mother," Queen Felicia greeted her first as she bowed her head low and stood up before the previous Queen.

"it okay," said Queen Latifa as she dismissed all the maids in the room to excuse them and wait for her outside and to also give her and new Queen Felicia some breathing space so as to freely tell Felicia everything she needs to know and be aware off, since she's already married to her son and she might also be the only one to suffer it as her son was very unfeeling.

"You may seat," said Queen Latifa as she smiled sweetly to Felicia responding back to her greetings.

"Am sure you must really be enjoying the palace," said Queen Latifa and Queen Felicia smiled in return. "It an honor to be a part of your family my Queen" spoked Queen Felicia.

"Good, Am happy to hear that," replied Queen Latifa and she continued, "With the main reason why am here..." She coughs just as she cleared her throat...

"My son might be given you some hard times here in the palace but am just here to assist you whenever you want or with whatever you might be in need of," She said.

"Okay thank you Queen Mother," Queen Felicia smiled brighten and Queen Latifa wondered if she actually heard all she had just spoked to her now, she sighs as she stood up.

"It late now, let me leave you to rest for the night, we will discuss all of these tomorrow," Then she stood up and left Felicia's chamber, going back to her own chamber, she shook her head and wave to her maids to follow her as soon as she came out from new Queen Felicia chambers, while Felicia's own maid went back inside Felicia's chamber to assist her.

Queen Latifa sighed as she fall back to her bed, she beckoned on one of her maids to come give her a oil foot massage as that would make her feel better.

'Hmm, Fedina still doesn't want to let go of Tata's daughter, how do I get ride of the little witch?' She thought inwardly as she questioned herself.

'Worst is Tata doesn't even seem to care about her daughter existence anymore, what should I do about these?' thought Queen Latifa as she rested back on her bed, while her maid held out her foot and began the oil massage, it felt soothing and she didn't even know when she drifted to deep sleep and the warm oil massage helped relief all the tension and worry she had been thinking of.

The following morning was a new day for Crown King Fedina as King, he had to show up in the council meeting and give out new orders as it was his first time as king.

King Fedina woke up early and did his early morning rituals, he meditated for some few hours first with knees crossed before him and him seating on the black rug as he held out his magic pot and did some incantation for peace and upliftment and strangely more powers.

Inside the red pot he was carrying had some leaves burning in it while the smoke filled his chamber with five red candles and some incest burning, he did he rituals placing the big red pot burning in front of him as he had powers to control fire and wind, he place his two palms locked in front as he recite his devotion.

Even before he had become king, when he was still a prince, he normally perform this rituals as he has a secret ancient book he had taken from their Ancestral library the last time he had visited there, he used the book to study more about black magic and also about other hidden powers to make him stronger as he wanted to be stronger than the females witches protecting their kingdom, he wants to rule all kingdoms if he succeed as the other neighboring kingdoms hated and loothed his people the most because they were gifted.

Now he has become the current King of Jalin he decided his time to try out his new powers if it will work and create some new rules, he wasn't ready to consummate his marriage as that will weaken him, with the ancestral book in his custody he wants to have all the Royal blooded witches protecting powers under his control.

Burning and melting the last candle into the pot burning with fire, he stood up holding the hot pot and inhaling the flames, he quenched the fire and went to place the pot by his window to cool off as smoke filled his room.

Queen Latifa had noticed her son continues burning of smoke in the early hours of the day before daybreak, but she didn't question him what he was doing as she had never seen him been so practical with performing rituals, so she overlooked the thought against it to ask him what he was doing, while she sent her maid to call him to come join them for breakfast before he prepared for the council meeting.

King Fedina took long before he showed up, as after he was thru with his early morning rituals he went to immerse himself in a warm bath tub filled with warm waters, he calmed.

After wearing his titled cloth as King, he came out from his chamber and went downstairs to have breakfast with his mother before proceeding to the council meeting arena inside the Royals buildings.
