Chapter: Chapter 7: Second House The stench of the alcohol Johanna perceived made her scrunch her nose in disgust. She hasn't even entered the room yet, but she already felt like turning back but couldn't; her sole aim can't just be obliterated. She yanked the door open, holding up a napkin to her nose, and cat-walked into William's room with an eagle gaze. There were two men at the corner; one was playing a harp, the other a flute. There were a lot of concubines dancing and swaying their waists to the harp; their nudity made Joanna's eyes sore, not that it was something she hadn't seen before. These dancers were zealous; while dancing seductively, William had one of the concubines seated on his legs, his hand wrapped around her as she planted kisses on his face. They all flanked around William trying to get his attention. Soon William pushes the concubine on his leg away, as another one helps him up to his feet. The latter was drunk; he rode along in any direction he was pushed to, holding a glass of

Chapter: Chapter 6: Queen Of Chess Racheal was in the garden plucking some red roses when a maid came to inform her that Queen Jazell was coming to see her. Rachael saw this coming; her supportive gestures towards Ragaleon's plan made her enemies numerous. "Jazell is coming to see me? Did she tell you when? She questioned after taking in a deep breath; her voice was sonorous and soothing. Before the maid could answer the question directed at her. Jazell made her way into the garden with two royal guards behind her. She looked formidable in the red dress she was wearing; she had the aura of an authoritative queen. Her short blonde hair was shoulder length, and her crystal blue eyes and prominent dark eyebrows made her sinfully beautiful. She had a predator gaze as she arched her brows while gazing at Racheal. The red velvet gown billowed from behind her, and her crown was radiating under the sun. Each queen had two personal royal guards assigned to keep an eye on them. They always stood in front of

Chapter: Chapter 5: Royal Announcement Tamina felt a shiver crawl up her spine; she slowly sat back down and tried to compose herself. "I have an announcement to make, and I need everyone to be present." Ragaleon said, giving everyone a fleeting glare. Having heard that Ragaleon wanted to make an announcement, everyone at the table paid attention. Ragaleon was a man of few words; whatever he had to say was very important. Racheal seemed to be the only one that was unbothered about Ragaleon's announcement. That was because she was already aware of what he had to say. Racheal focused her gaze on the food she was eating, and her mind trailed off to last night when she was summoned to Ragaleon's chamber. At first she had her hopes high; she thought Ragaleon wanted to consummate their marriage, but she was disappointed, and the disappointment loomed on her face when Ragaleon told her he had called her because he wanted to seek her wisdom. Ragaleon was a nonchalant man, but he had eyes and ears everywhe

Chapter: Chapter 4: The golden rules THE GOLDEN RULES Immediately Ragaleon stepped into the dining arena; everyone seated rose to their feet and acknowledged him. Ragaleon was always the last person to sit at the huge dining table. He did this because he wanted to give everyone enough time to be at the table before him. Once he was seated at the table, no one was welcomed to join the table. Ragaleon took his seat at the head of the table; immediately after he did that, the rest of the royal family took their respective seats. Not many words were said during breakfast; it was a golden rule that no one must make any comments while eating unless it was crucial. Everyone had a recognized sitting position at the table. Seated by Ragaleon's's right-hand side was Selena. Johanna was seated at Ragaleon's left-hand side; beside her was her son William, and next to him was her daughter Leah. Seated beside Selena at the right-hand side of the table was her daughter, Helen. Seated next to Helen were the five
