* Second Chapter, I hope you like it *

After the announcement was made, by her father Daniela immediately went straight away to her room, leaving her father worried.

On getting to her room, Daniella, didn't know what to feel as she just felt numb, even though she was very well aware that she couldn't change tradition, she still wished that she could do something to change all this, she knew within herself that she wasn't ready for marriage as she still has a lot of things to achieve before that, but what now?

While she was still lost in her thoughts she felt a presence and as expected it was her Mother, Annabella. Even though she loved and Respected her, she couldn't help but feel scared of her sometimes, because she gives off the feeling of threat.

" Good day, Mom " She greeted. She noticed that Annabella's face turned sour immediately she mumbled Mom, and she wondered why.

" Daniela I am not here to scold you or whatsoever I'm here to tell you a deep secret and also to advise you, you will be attentive won't you? " she asked.

" Yes Mom, I'll " Daniella Replied

" Firstly, can you stop addressing me as Mom, I am not your mother alright? " Annabella said dropping the bomb.

" What! " Daniella was astonished, even though she comprehended that the Queen never liked her, she didn't anticipate that she wasn't even her daughter.

" You... Are... Lying " Daniella stammered making an effort to convince herself.

" Why would I tell an untruth? , Do I have a reason to? , When have I ever cared for you like my own daughter? " Annabella Analyzed.

" You..... " Then it dawned on Daniella that Queen Annabella might be telling the truth as she had no reason to lie, and more so she had even overhead the maids gossiping about her being the true daughter of the King and Queen as she bore no resemblance to them.

" Well then, since you said that I am not your daughter then who am I then? Was I adopted? " Daniella inquired.

" You got it right as you were indeed adopted. " Annabella Confirmed.

" What! " Though Daniella somehow predicted this, she never thought it to be true!

" Who are my parents, and where are they? "

" Dead, You are an orphan Daniella! " The Queen said, seeing Daniella's Reaction to this news she felt very pleased, for the past eighteen years she has been putting up with her, she had also been envious of Daniella from Day one, Most especially because of the later's Long, Curly, Golden hair and Creamy skin.

" Since I am an orphan, why was I adopted then? , Since you never liked me, why did you guys Adopt me in the first place? " Daniella asked Confusedly.

" You think so highly of yourself Daniella, do you think that I Queen Annabella will adopt someone like you, A Parisian? " Anna Mocked.

" Then why? " Daniella asked, Holding back her tears that were threatening to fall.

" Listen to Me Daniella, Eighteen years ago around the time when you were born, His highness, traveled to Paris for some reason, I think to lend a helping hand to the government because around that time insurgents were planning to Cause war, so His Highness assistance was required urgently.

After a lot of discussions and disagreements, they finally decided that the mothers and their kids Should be transported out of the country while the men should Remain to confront the battle. " Taking a deep breath Queen Annabella continued her story.

" The Day came for the relocation and large trucks were available to relocate the Women and kids to a safe place for the main time, the Women were a little reluctant to leave her husbands especially the newlyweds, but they had no choice, as they just had to, your mother was part of them I guess as the bus was moving, unknown to the government the insurgents had gotten first-hand information on the plan, so as the vehicles were moving they exploded as timer bombs were already planted in each of them, it was a day of Mourning and Tears for Paris.

While the corpses were being checked before burial, the Men at work Heard a cry and When the voice was traced they found You in the Embrace of your deceased mother, it so happened that your mother used her body to cover yours, so you weren't harmed, as t than you were just three months old, so I will say that you were quite lucky to have survived. "

" what happened next? " Daniella inquired When Annabella paused.

" is it that really difficult to guess? she replied sarcastically.

" Please I want to hear the whole story " Daniella pleaded, this was the first time she begged in front of someone.

Seeing Daniel begging her, the Queen felt a lot better.

' That's how It should be, the thought and Smirked.

Even though she wasn't that willing, she continued the story anyway.

" After you were discovered to still be alive and fine, you were taken to the government hospital for a check-up outside the state, and after you were confirmed to be completely fine you were taken to the orphanage, after ithe ncident the government felt extremely sad and as your Highness was pathe rt of those who suggested that idea he naturally felt sad too, but when he heard that some people survived though with severe injuries he was a little comforted, Sadly your Mom and older Siblings were not part of the minorities that Survived as they were said to have died on spot. " Queen Annabella Paused Once again, as she called one of her maids in.

" Go get my Fruit juice Louisa " She ordered.

" Yes, Your Highness " The maid Replied and left.

" When your father was moving around the orphanage, a baby girl with golden hair and cream skin caught his attention, and so he decided on the spot that he would adopt you, and so he did, and that's why you are here, You are nothing but a foreigner Princess, you don't have a Royal bloody in your veins but that of a pauper! "Anna Mocked.

As if not minding the Mocking Words Daniella asked.

" What about my father, Your highness, Is he still alive? "

" How am I supposed to know that, am I your Pauper father Keeper? Why don't you find out yourself, Princess Daniella " The Queen Answered Sarcastically.
