Chapter Three: Queen Tekiya First Plot

The prison was full of dragon scales and teeth, it was a very dim and brooding room, Lady Salsa two handmaiden inspected the prison they were thrown into and felt wronged in their mind, their displeasure was written brightly on their face

" kariya, shadia!, you don't have to feel wronged for this Lady" Queen Tekiya was just emphasizing her right and teaching me the right cause" Lady Salsa said to the two young girls besides her

" but my lady ain't she too cruel? This is just your first day of arrival, we haven't even settle  in" Shadia said full of contempt 

"Keep your voice down, don't forget the walls have ears" Kariya scowled her

"But ..but"  she pouted angrily 

" it's okay Shadia, we will soon be out" Lady Salsa said to them to ease their wronged and fret heart

My eggs! Will Queen Tekiya harm them, lady Salsa knew she ain't much of importance to Kunshiya kun and he wouldn't side her nor make things better for her but she knew that her eggs are the only hope for him to be a father, will he allow His Queen to kill them?  Her safety might not be important but she have to leave this darn place as soon as possible, even if Kunshiya Kun wants to protect her eggs he might not be around always, there are so many state affairs and turbulent issues concerning the country, he wouldn't have enough time to protect her hatchlings.

Lady Salsa was deep in thought when the two handmaiden were making sleeping arrangements with the few blankets and bedspread available in the so called prison , she eyed the surrounding and sighed deeply, she have to think of ways to leave here, her eggs her more important than her life or her prestige, she won't let Queen Tekiya have her ways with them.. 

Lady Salsa was almost asleep when an imperial guard brought their dinner it was a fish soup some buns, the imperial guards threw the food reckless at them as the handmaiden quickly try their best to safeguard their dinner,

" you sly pig! Do you know who my lady is? She is the future mother of the dragon babies" Shadia retorted angrily to the incautious guard, 

Paaaa

The cheeks was met with a slap from kariya and she eyed her meaningful then Shadia bowed her head and kept her thoughts to herself, the guard only laughed and still kicked her more then left the prison 

" Do you know your wrongs" Lady Salsa said immediately the guard was out of earshot.

" Yes my lady , I know my wrong"

"Do you? Then tell me" she countered

" I shouldn't have said those words earlier" she said with unshed tears building up in her eyes 

"Remember don't count your eggs before they are hatched, we don't know the future situation, we can't bring more troubles to ourselves with our words or actions" we have to do everything cautiously " Lady Salsa explained to the two girls

"I am sorry for bringing troubles to My lady please forgive me this once" Shadia bowed and pleaded 

"It's okay, let's eat " Lady Salsa said, then kariya brought the food closer to them then served her Lady, Shadia couldn't hold her hunger as she jumped to pick a bun, Lady Salsa just smiled at her recklessness 

Such a silly child, foodie, Lady Salsa smirked which made Kariya laughed happily

" Shadia control your covetousness, My lady haven't even taken a bit" she said to the silly child that already down her buns

"Yummy!! " was the only word Shadia was able to utter as her mouth was still full of bun..  

Lady salsa was about to take a bit when Shadia started holding her stomach and complaining of stomach aches

"My tummy, my tummy!! She groaned with pain, Kariya immediately took out her silver needle to test the bun and the soup but the bun was poisoned while the soup wasn't, 

"My Lady I failed you, I should have tested the food when they brought it" kariya said to Lady Salsa 

" my tum...m...yyy" Shadia groaned and rolled in severe pain 

" quick call the guards, they have to safe her!!

Guards!!! Guards!!!!! Gaurds!!!  

Kariya shouted from the prison but no one came as it was a set up plot from above, they could only watch Shadia bled and die of agony, Lady Salsa watched as one of the girls that accompanied her for years died from pain and predicament  that was meant for her and sobbed uncontrollably, Kariya consoled and cried along with her.
