PORSHA'S POVI woke up to a particularly lovely day, the sky was the most beautiful shade of blue and the sound of birds chirping echoed through out the palace. “Good morning my beautiful queen” Anne's voice boomed through the room,A tray of hair ornaments and makeup in hand.I laid back in bed, a sigh escaping my lips.“What is beautiful about the morning Anne?” I doubted, feeling down cast.I can't believe it has only been four days since I arrived at this hell hole. It feels like forty. I honestly don't think I could endure this any longer. “Oh! Porsha don't be like that” Anne said, taking a seat next to me on the bed, “Think about all the things you have to be thankful for”I immediately turn towards her, a curious frown on my face. “And what am I supposed to be grateful for?" I asked with a raised brow. “Is that even a question?" Anne questioned with a nonplussed expression on her face. “Didn't you wake up today? You're still beautiful, you have Empress Helen on
THIRD PERSON POV Porsha walked out of the prayer room, her breathing off as she strided towards Anne with red eyes. “Anne let's go" She commanded, her chest still hurting from Leviathan's bitter words, who did he think he was to humiliate, or threaten her like that. She wasn't scared of him, at least not as much as she did before. “Porsha what is wrong? Did his highness do anything to you?” Anne doubted with a raised brow.“What else hasn't he done, apart from threatening to kill me,” Porsha informed nonchalantly, her tone filled with disappointment.Anne's eyes widen, her tone alarmed, “You don't mean it" “My goodness! Why would his majesty say something as terrible as that to you?"“Cause that is how he truly feels. I bet he only married me to establish his dominance" Porsha said.“What did you say to him Porsha?" Anne questioned, a frown creeping to his face.“Nothing" Porsha answered, her blood boiling with rage.“That's impossible. I know his highness might be
LEVIATHAN'S POV I flickered my eyes open to the rays of the bright morning sun, the thought of my confrontation with Porsha rushing into my mind.I tried rising up from bed but I am stopped by a tight hold around my waist, it was Serafin, the concubine I spent the night with. Originally, I thought of going back to Cassandra's room but decided against it, when I remembered yesterday was a Saturday, her weekly handy down day and for Cassandra nothing was more important than running the harem. If I did go there, I would have been cast aside. “Permission to enter, your majesty” A masculine voice boomed from outside the room, pulling me from my thoughts.The voice was so loud that it woke Serafin from her slumber.“Greetings your highness" She said, trying to brush her tangled hair with her fingers, but I am not in the least impressed, to think she used to be my favorite once upon a time.“Good morning Serafin" I responded calmly.“Who is that?" She questioned, her voice no h
THIRD PERSON POV Matilda's laughter boomed across the room, her eyes watering from excitement as she told her personal servant, the scene she just witnessed. “Velma you should have seen them. Leviathan was furious he even threw Porsha to the floor, and threatened that he was going to kill all of her relatives” Matilda informed still cracking up, as she wiped off a tear drop from the side of her eyelid. “Goodness! that must have been terrible for poor queen Porsha” Velma said, her tone laced with a sprinkle of pity.“Come on Velma don't tell me you suddenly pity that woman. I advise you not to, she got exactly what she deserved” Matilda informed, her eyes gleaming with mischief, “Now, that Porsha knows exactly where she stands in this palace, and that is beneath my feet”“You can say that again queen mother. Congratulations on your victory” Velma said, her voice bubbling with excitement, “This calls for a celebration don't you think. Should I pour out some wine?”“Yes Velma
PORSHA POV I sat infront of my mirror, a dull ache still residing in my heart after the incident tonight.“Anne do you think what I did in the ceremony hall was bad?” I doubted turning to face Anne. My mind recently have been filled with doubts it like I can't do anything right, anymore.“Of course not Porsha. Infact you should be proud after all you saved his majesty from certain death” Anne explained, her eyes sparkling with sincerity but I had my doubts.“But that's not what everyone else thinks Anne. Did you see the disgust on their faces when they walked out” I informed, as their disappointed faces replayed in my head. They all hate me and I was only trying to do the right thing.“There were just surprised Porsha. In any case they only walked out because his highness did that first” Anne assured with a smile as she took my hands in hers.“I tell you what, his highness will be here any second now to thank you” She added and as though hearing her words.The room announcer
LEVIATHAN'S POV Cassandra's laugh boomed across her room like a raging storm. “Levi that woman dealt with you without even opening her mouth. I could see the fear in your eyes, it was as though you were going to faint” She said, her tone laced with mockery that it sent shivers down my spine. “Cassandra please do not add salt to my wounds” I beseeched her, as I gaggled down a glass of red wine. My blood boiling with rage as I recall everything. How defenceless I felt when Porsha pointed that arrow at my head, and how she deployed it in the guise of killing a snake. Yes indeed she killed it but she equally injured my ego in the process and there will be consequences. “But I am not doing anything your highness. Queen Porsha had inflicted not just salt but pepper to your wounds with her little act of trying to save your life. I mean she deliberately broke your law but ensured that you couldn't punish her since she did it for your sake” Cassandra commented, an amused smile e
