CHAPTER 61 – MAKE ME EMPRESS

PRINCESS MALIA“Pack up your things, we are going home.” I offered my brother a smile. He was offended on my behalf over what happened. I had sent him a letter informing him of what had happened. I was waiting for his replay but instead, he came in person. “You know that is not how we do things.” He paced.“I know but we have the army, we can take this kingdom.” My smile widened feeling the warmth of his love. I appreciated what he was trying to do. But if I went back as a disgrace, I would never be respected again. “Who do they think they are to treat you like this.” I stood and took his hand. He looked at me with so much sadness.“I have a plan,” he frowned. “What plan? The Crown Prince refused to marry you, choosing an orphan over you, the third prince was killed, and the second prince is a playboy. He is not worthy of you.” they were not the only options I had.“Who said anything about them?” his hold on my hand tightened. “Malia.” My name came out as a whisper. My brother was not

CHAPTER 62 – MALIA HAS TO GO

QUEEN DOWAGER One of my people burst through the doors and dropped to his knees in front of me. “Your Majesty, it’s bad, this is bad.” I closed my eyes trying to calm myself down. Everyone of them knew how much I hated panic and noise the most and yet they still budge in like they own the place.“Speak slowly.” Beads of sweat covered his forehead. “Princess Malia and her brother are in the king’s study.” My head started throbbing, he was panicking because Malia was meeting with the king. She was one of us, why panic. “Guards, take this insolent person and beat him to death.”He bowed. “Your Majesty, forgive me, I didn’t mean to disturb you. I thought you should know that the princess…” I cup him short feeling annoyed by his voice. “What are you waiting for? dragged him out!” two guards grabbed him and were about to drag him away when he said.

CHAPTER 63 – THE DEAL

SECOND PRINCE“I don’t think that will work, grandma.” I walked into the study with a smile on my face. My grandmother frowned. She had never liked me, she thought I was useless just like father. “What gives you the right to barge in here while we are talking?” my smile widened as I crossed the room and took a seat next to her.“Don’t be like that grandma, I am here to save you.” she glared at me then gave father a disapproving look. “I didn’t invite him.” yeah, he would never invite me to his study. That was Julian’s place, none of us belonged there. “I came on my own.” My grandmother gave me a look full of disdain.“Any way, you can’t marry off the calamity star to Malia’s kingdom.” Father gave me a warning look. he didn’t want grandma knowing about the calamity star. I smirked now I had leverage against him. he would have not choi

CHAPTER 64 – MINISTER’S REFUSAL

KING“My king, we understand that the queen has been gone for years now but you cannot marry the princess.” The minister of works face twisted as he said it. it was like he couldn’t imagine me having that girl as my empress. “Minister, I understand your concern, but the kingdom needs an empress, I am still in my prime and having someone to share my burden is not a bad idea.” Minister of revenue stepped forward, that one was very calculating. If my son had half the sense as his big brother, he would go after this man, get me evidence to put him in jail. “Your Highness, you have many women in the harem, women from this kingdom, noble daughters, anyone of them would make a good empress.” Next, he would recommend his daughter. He smiled warmly, so he thought as all I could see was the calculation behind that smile. “Take the grand tutor’s eldest daughter for example, she is talented, calm and educated. There are also even better ones with a good temperament, good background and powerful

CHAPTER 65 – BROTHER’S TEST & A THREAT

JULIAN “Can we have more quiet days like this?” I wanted nothing more than to spend more days like that with her. we were sitting in the courtyard under the peach tree. I planted that in the house I bought for us. I wanted her to have the scent of home, like the peach tress she had back in the village. “Things are still unstable, I don’t know what my brother is planning but after his last visit, I fear he is not done.” Helena sighed leaning on my shoulder. I closed my eyes savouring the feeling. We didn’t get many days like these. She was always busy with her business while I was busy building the kingdom break by break. Draining my vault in the process. “Let us not think about your brother for now.” I tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. “I know you don’t like him but, he is not as foolish as I thought. With my third brother gone, my second brother is finally showing his fangs, and they are full of poison.” Mark was not the clueless womaniser I thought he was.Maybe he was hold

CHAPTER 66 – NOISE

QUEEN DOWAGER Boom! The door was kicked open and in walked the princess. Red in the face with four maids following behind. She was acting like a queen already, yet the coronation had not happened yet. I slowly moved tealeaves with the lid of the cup as I watched her come and stood in front of me huffing.“You bitter old woman, what have you done?” she pointed a finger at me with her face twisting in anger. “Why the noise early in the morning?” that seemed to make her even angrier. A vicious laugh escaped her lips, it was sharp and piercing. She sounded like a mad woman.The noise irritated me. “You care about noise? What about my brother!” I calmly placed the cup on the side table, folded my hands on my lap and looked at her. “Are you going to tell me what you are yelling about or are you going to keep yelling here like a shrew?” she was so angry that she laughed like a woman possessed.If I had known I would get such a reaction from her, I would have acted much earlier. “A shrew, yo

CHAPTER 67 – NOT HELPLESS, YET

MALIA “Find a way to get this to the second prince.” I handed a note to my maid. The queen dowager thought locking me up was going to stop me from avenging my brother. She had another thing coming from now on, I was going to make her sleep with one eye open. She thought killing my brother and locking me up was going to clip my wings.She was about to have a rude awakening. She was counting on my big brother and father being selfish bastards who wouldn’t lift a finger to help a political pawn like me. I would let her think that for now. let her think she had me where she wanted me. She would know when I strike that I was no helpless princess.I lay on my day bed think about my brother. Tears fell from my eyes at the thought of him. he was a brute who protected me with everything he had. I had not gotten a chance to make it up to him yet. Make him proud and protect him. instead, he got killed because of me. “Don’t worry brother, your sister will avenge you.”“My princess, it is deliver

CHAPTER 68 – PAWN IN PLACE

MARK“Your Highness, why have you called me here.” Still so gullible. “Everyone, leave us.” All the servants left, only nanny Wang remained. Time to put on a show. “Nanny Wang.” I weakly called out to her from the bed. “Come closer.” She came closer, her eyes widened when she saw the state I was in. “Your Highness, what happened?” she asked looking worried.Oh, nothing Nanny Wang, I just took a little poison to make this show of ours work. How else could this prince make a clever servant like you believe and pity him. “What else could it be, Nanny Wang.” I looked at her with a mocking smile. “You took care of me once when I was poisoned like this.” I coughed a couple of times.“This prince must have angered her again somehow. This dose is even stronger.” A laughed breathlessly then coughed harder, biting the insides of my cheeks to draw some blood. I deliberately lowered the handkerchief for her to see the blood before hiding it away.”“I afraid will die this time. My poor health cann

CHAPTER 69 – CLOSE THE NET

JULIAN “Why do you look troubled, did something happen with the project.” Asked Helena coming in holding a bowl of warm porridge. She placed it in front of me then came around the desk and started massaging my shoulders. “Everyone at the palace has made their move except for one person.” She said nothing.“Father plans to marry the princess to prevent the war, the Queen Dowager had prince Alaric killed to cut Malia’s support. She wants her alone and powerless. Now…” I turned to her. “Mark is making is move,” I leaned on my stomach. “If he is planning to do what I think, then things could change in the kingdom.”She stopped massaging me and came to sit on the desk in front of me. “There are only two things your brother could do that could change the fate of this kingdom.” She looked me in the eye. “One, he is planning a coup to take over the throne, two, he is planning to get rid of the queen dowager. Which one is likely?” I didn’t know Mark as well as I thought I did.“Either one is

CHAPTER 70 – SUMMONED

HELENAI was busy at the shop sorting people’s orders to be sent out for delivery when a palace maid arrived with two guards. “Lady Helena.” I was stunned for a moment not sure what to say or do. My mind raced, it went to the one thing I was most afraid of, people finding out I was once a palace maid who ran away. My palms started sweating as fear rose from within me. I could see the maid’s mouth moving but I couldn’t hear a thing of what she said. “Lady Helena?” Rose, the maid Julian had gotten for me, shook me slightly and I snapped out of it. The palace maid in front of me had a warm smile on her face. “Apologies, I got distracted for a moment, what were you saying.” her smile widened as she waved it off. “It’s alright Lady Helena. My name Annie, one of Queen Dowager’s maids, I was asked to delivery a message to you.” My heart skipped a beat. I wondered what the queen dowager could possibly want from me. The woman once sent people after me back at the village, if it weren’t for
