Chapter 6After they had finished eating, La Reine packed the dishes and waited for the voice of her master.Little did she know that her life would stoop so low like this!She had already worn her dress, and although the worn out dress looked like one of those things taken out from a trash can...she looked utterly beautiful."Are you done?" They voice came from the inner Chambers."Yes, Milord." She answered, taking a deep breath as she awaited the next command."You can leave."Relief washed over her and she smiled, picking the tray as she headed out of the room quickly.She had to drop it at the Kitchen but she didn't know where that was and there was no way anyone would answer her.They all hated her after all."You..." It was a guard."What are you doing there?" "I was asked to drop these in the kitchen and I've been looking for the kitchen..." Although the Kingdom was hers, she had never stepped her foot in the Palace kitchen before, she preferred Athena's mother kitchen. A kit
Chapter 7Hey guys.... from this chapter I'll be making it first point of view not third point, so please do well to Cooperate and ask questions when you do not understand.~Reine~The mine was hot, too hot for my liking. We sat under the small mango tree.. waiting for the machine to stabilize the ground so we'd be able to start working.I had never thought I'd be sitting under a mango tree, under the hot sun and working so hard like this. Everything seemed like a bad dream. A dream I was yet to wake up from.The people around me laughed. They were laughing to some stories the bald head guy was telling them... about his days as a merchant.But now he was reduced to something like this...a landmine detector."Let's begin." The man In charge of the mine yelled so loudly, you'd think he was using a flute to talk.We gathered under the hot sun as he began to five orders to where we'd be assign to begin..One thing I was thankful for was that..I was not recognized here."Can you do it?" I s
Chapter 8~Reine~Seeing the palace's wall from where I stood, weakened my every bone.I approached the gate and was stopped by the guards."You're back.""And I didn't bring any landmine with me. Rest assured, I do not want to commit suicide and take a thousand with me." I replied."Don't push your luck princess, you're not all that powerful like before you know..." I furrowed my brows.I could still show him how powerful I was.I blinked twice, and never has a smile vanished so quickly as it did to man I was staring at.He held his chest, coughing so loudly as he glared at me."What are you doing to him?! Let me him this instant or else I'll stick this.."I turned to the other man and smiled. His spear fell down and so came his body to the ground as I clenched my fist so hard..I was sure my knuckles would turn white.I wasn't a murderer.I gasped as if being pulled out from a trance and just then the men collapsed on the floor, breathing so hard you'd think they had just come back f
Chapter 9~Reine~The council looked up, eyes beaming as they watched me in nothing but a flimsy attire that was meant for women in brothels. I felt humiliated to no bounds, my fist clenched as I stared across, my eyes fixated on the wall that was newly design to befit the new King."Come." I looked up and met his eyes. Cold, aloof, handsome, cold again. He gave nothing off, no single emotion. But the men around him were staring at the princess whose ego had been ruined to dust as she walked, her hips swaying and the light clothe hiding nothing but giving everything to the eyes who wanted to feed. Well, that was me. The princess. The princess whose ego was brought down the minute my kingdom was taken.I walked towards the King and stopped when he raised his palm. I was standing so close to him, I could feel his heat from where I stood beside his seat. "Seat." He commanded and I did so, taking a seat on the small chair that was placed beside him.I held my head high, refusing to give
Chapter 10~Reine~I walked into the room that had been assigned as mine. It was plain but had a bed unlike the one I had been using untill now. The bed was low but soft. I sighed, sitting on the bed and then running my fingers up and down the flower that was placed on the nightstand. A knock on the door made me look up and I frowned, when the door opened and a maid stepped in."I'm sorry, milady." She stepped out once again and knocked on the door.Weird."Come in." I mumbled."I'm sorry for my behaviour, milady-" "It's Reine, please. There's no title but my name." I gave her a smile. She was the first person to address me like that with no mockery attached. "Uhm...Reine?" She chuckled nervously."I'm sorry, Milady but I can't. It's my first time in the palace and I was assigned to be your maid." She bowed again.Wait a minute!"My maid?" I asked."Yes...milady." She nodded and lowered her gaze to the floor. "And who assigned you to me?""The head maid assigned me to you per the K
Chapter 11 RespectReine~The King's scowl deepened.He was wearing a black garment that fitted his entire being. The King was a huge man, handsome and graceful."Is that all you have to do?" "I have finished my job at the Mine and there's nothing for me to do." I said."Thank you for the friend you sent to me. I'm grateful." I bowed slightly."From now on you'll clean my Chambers and throne room when you're back from the mine. I do not see a reason why you'll roam about the palace without work on your shoulders." "I will see to it that it has been cleaned." I mumbled. This damn man! Cleaning up his chamber and throne room?Does he know how hard working in the mine can be? She was barely surviving there and it was all thanks to her friend, Clarissa."Milady." Ulia called."Is there a problem, Ulia? And if it is because of the cleaning of the room, you need not to worry...I can take care of that myself." I waved her off."But your Majes
Chapter 12Reine~The mine was hot. Hotter than every other day. They men were trying to dig out some mines while we were asked to rest.The field was cleared and a mine could go off anytime from now. That alone could set the whole east field on fire."Are you sure about that? The Duke of Sethum? Visiting Bakarish? Surely, it has never been heard of." It was Clarissa, speaking with two of the men who was free."I agree with you, Clarissa. The Duke of Sethum like I heard is very playful, he's a womanizer and changes women every two days. I doubt the King will take him in."I knew little about the Duke of Sethum but unlike them, I knew they good he had done for his people and what made him what he was today. The Duke of Sethum was a high man in the court. He owns half of the Sethum military and that was after he had taken the Lifun territory. "Did you hear what we said, Reine?'" Clarissa asked, snapping her fingers in front of my face."No, I'm sorry." I gave he
Chapter 13 BeddedReine~I walked down the hallway that led to my room. My back felt sore after the long wrestle I had with Clarissa. The palace servants were very busy. The maids were over the place, with pots, kettles and every other cutleries fit for a banquet."I heard that the Duke of Sethum is coming." A maid whispered past me. To this people, I was invincible, the barely acknowledge me and if they do...it was for nothing good at all."Yes. Rumour has it that he is very handsome and a womanizer." Another giggled. "If he's handsome..I don't see a damn reason why I shouldn't throw myself to him." "Hush Xaron! Imagine what they others would think of you if you say that loud." "Oh please don't be a saint, Sharon. Anyone can hear and tell if they please." They busted into laughter."I wish he would choose me just for a-""What are you all doing there talking like some stupid wild animals?" The head maid yelled at the top of her
