“You will have to ask him that yourself,” Talia answered.
“How can you be so rude?”
“You are the one I should be asking that. Not only did you come to disturb me but you want to throw away things that don’t belong to you. How can you be so greedy?” she asked.
“You are the one that is greedy. You took away my man, everything you took. Do you even know what his favorite color is or food?”
“Does it even matter? I don’t care about all that. What matters at the end of the day is he is mine; he shares the same bed with me and I’m his wife and you are not.”
“How dare you?” Chloe screamed at her but got choked.
“I told you not to touch that,” Talia said looking at the beads.
“I will throw them out and vent my anger at you,” she said and really threw them away.
She couldn’t believe the guts of Chloe but there was
“You don’t have to do that.”“Please mother. She will never do that again. I promise, can I please have a moment with her alone? I will be there with you shortly,” she said and Neal looked at her.He looked at his mother and she nodded. He kissed Talia on the forehead ad said, “I will wait for you at the door. Don’t wait out in the rain for long.“I won’t, now go.”He took his mother out of the garden. While they were standing somewhere dry his mother began to laugh.“Mother, why are you laughing?”“I think I now understand what they meant when they said a Seer can do anything to protect what she loves.”“What is that supposed to mean?”“Chloe started a fight but that could have been prevented but Talia wanted her to do that.”“Why would she risk being slapped like that?”“To put her in her
“Where is she?”“She is with mother right now. She brought them for you and I’m glad that they came at the right time,” he said and wiped the oil at the corner of her mouth.“Thanks, I’m very hungry.”“I can tell and by the way you look beautiful.”“Thank you,” she said and took another one, “aren’t you eating?”“I will eat later. Right now, I will just watch you eat and make sure you are no longer upset with me.”“I’m not and you know it.”“If you aren’t anymore, then go with me and meet my friend. You never saw him before, right?’“No, I haven’t. I would love to meet him.”“That’s my girl.”She finished the plate of dumplings and left the room with her husband.It had worked, he smiled to himself as he held Talia’s hand walking
His birthday cake was ushered in and he went to the front to cut the cake. The birthday song was played and everybody sang along with him. He didn’t want to cut his cake alone so he called Talia to the front that came eagerly and happily.He helped her to put her hand on the knife while his was on top and adding some pressure the two of them sliced the cake. There were cheers and whistles as the two finished and returned among the guests. The cake was taken so that it will be cut and shared among everyone.All of a sudden, the king stood up and everyone quite down.“Thank you all for attending Prince Neal’s twenty first birthday. Today I didn’t want him to just celebrate his birthday but bestow upon him his duties as a prince of Qarth,” he said and the priestess walked in.What was happening again?“Come forward son,” he said and Neal did as he was asked of.He kneeled right in front of him and just
She didn’t talk much to his parents and the next thing she was leaving the hall using the same exit Talia had used. Immediately he stood up and went to his mother.“What’s happening?”“I think something huge is about to happen and we should alert the guests.”“What do you mean?”Neal explained the whole story to his mother and father and saw that look in his father’s eyes.“Father, do you know something?”“It’s complicated but we need to do something. Make sure your friends are enjoying and then you find an excuse and follow us.”“I will do that. Be careful,” he told them.He didn’t want to lose anyone especially on his birthday. His parents left and he called Jasper for some help. &n
Queen Grace at one point once suspected that her friend Mercy changed ever since she got married to her husband Rob the king of Qarth. She thought maybe she was only distant because of the regulations and all that but she never expected that Mercy had been in love with Rob all the time.After listening to Mercy’s confession after she had been caught by Talia was something she just never expected and find it hard to believe. Feeling weak to her bones she fell to the ground and her husband caught her.“Are you okay?”“No, I’m not. I trusted her and shared everything with her and she just wanted to destroy everything I cherished. How could she?” she cried looking at Mercy who was on her knees and begging for forgiveness.“What should we do with her?” Neal asked.“She might as well just rot in jail,” she said.“No, we can’t do that. If she is sent there then everything will
“Fine, just send her this way. I can’t go inside while I look this way,” she said and the maid left.Who was her guest really, she wondered? Few minutes later the maid returned followed by a woman who was in her thirties she guessed.“You may leave now and bring her something to drink,” she instructed the maid.“Greetings your royal highness,” the woman said as she bowed down to the ground. She was getting used to this and she just couldn’t stop it at all.“Please be at ease and rise,” she said and the woman did rise up.“I’m sorry to barge here like this but I need your help,” she said.“What kind of help do you need from me?” she asked, she didn’t want to pry for herself. She just wanted a free day without courting anyone’s troubles.“My names are Gina Hartley and I’m a widow. My husband recently died of an illness and I
“That’s the spirit. Jane will show you your room; did you bring any clothes with you?”“I’m afraid I didn’t.”“It’s still okay. On weekend, you will go shopping and pick some all necessities you will need. The maids will be going out too. You will leave with them.”“Thank you very much; I will be loyal to you.”“I’m glad to hear that. Just take care of my flowers for me and don’t do things that will make me regret for I don’t use the legal system for I am a judge myself,” she warned.“I do understand.”“I will leave the garden to you then but first wear some protective gear, I wouldn’t want any harm to fall on you,” she said and handed over the watering jug to Gina.“I will change immediately.”Talia left the green house and headed for the mansion. When she arrived, that young maid ran
The car came to the front and Beth opened the door for her. Talia went into the back seat of the car and Beth to the front. The car left the mansion while she pondered on her destination.“Have you thought of where you will be going?”“Take me to the amusement park,” she suddenly said.“Did you just say amusement park?”“Yes, I did, why?”“It’s crowded,” Bet said.“I know and I still want to go there. Am I now taking orders from you?” she asked angrily.“I’m sorry duchess, I was worried.”“Take me there and I want some peace and quiet on the way,” she said closing her eyes.It wasn’t Beth’s fault but she was just mad and she didn’t know where to vent it out to. At least if she visits the amusement park she had never gone to before she might feel better.She had always wanted to go but she n
