“Same here”Royalty uttered. She was about to pick up a strawberry when two arrows were shot at her and promise.

“Arrgggh, promise screamed.

“Get behind me”Tessa roared.

“I can’t move Tessa,”Royalty uttered, holding her head.

“Am feeling dizzy Nevaeh”Promise stuttered and passed out, Royalty also passed out.

Who the hell are you? You attacked with arrows and not a sword, such a coward, come out and– she couldn’t complete her words in light of the fact that she was covered in the nose.

“Nathaniel,”She uttered before passing out.

Mrs Evelyn, Honour and Fiona walked around the market, trying to get a herb for Tessa’s health. Fiona decided to speak up.

“Honestly, I have missed my lover”Fiona murmurs.

“You have one?”Mrs Evelyn asked.

“Yes, I do,”she replied.

“Wow, that’s awesome, why didn’t you go back and visit him at least five times a month?”Mrs Evelyn asked with a soft smile.

“My brother is against our relationship”She muttered, almost close to tears.

“Why?”She stopped in her tracks.

“Because he’s not from a royal family”Fiona uttered out of anger. She gasped loudly covering her mouth when she realized what she just uttered. Honour bags if vegetables fell from her hands.

(Gasped)”you are from a royal family”Honour murmur.

Mrs Evelyn was speechless”you are kidding?”Mrs Evelyn asked.

“I’m very sorry for not saying these things earlier,”Fiona cried.

“Why did you keep this away from us, especially Her Majesty Tessa “Honour asked.

“I thought princess Tessa won’t let me stay if I tell her who I really am,”She muttered, sitting on the wooden bench.

“What are you even saying? Tessa isn’t the type” Mrs Evelyn scolds.

“Why didn’t you want to go and visit your brothers?”Honour asked, crossing her arms.

“Because he doesn’t understand me, he doesn’t understand my feelings. I wasn’t allowed to make friends, because of an incident that almost got me raped. My other royal jealous friends drugged me years ago, which almost cost me my life. Ever since then, I can’t step foot out of the castle, “she cried.

“This is very deep”Honour exhale

“He’s only trying to protect you from future attacks, I know how suffocated you must have been, but that didn’t give you the right to leave him alone all by himself.”Mrs Evelyn scolded.

“You don’t understand how I felt then. Being alone in that big room, my room is three times bigger than Princess Tessa’s room. Imagine how scary and bored I was. Raine, his mistress, wasn’t helping. He doesn’t want me to associate with the maids, he always want me to act like a princess every single time, every day.”She sobs loudly

“Your brother is very heartless,”honour muttered.

“He’s not, has his heart been broken”Mrs Evelyn asked.

“Yes, multiple times, he finds it hard to love people around him. It was around one of those times he found out about my lover.”Fiona.

“It’s fine, we will explain everything to Her Majesty Tessa when we get back to the castle.”Mrs Evelyn uttered, wiping off her tears.

“I hope Her Majesty Tessa won’t be angry at you”Honour murmurs.

“She won’t, it’s just if she finds out herself, she will be angry at you. Let’s make it snappy and get our legs at the castle.

“Okay, mama.”Honour giggled.

King Justin walked slowly around his personal garden. Thinking how his daughter is fairing. “That scandal killed Nathaniel because of my mistake,”He thought.

“Your Highness, you looked worried,”Bonanza asked, with his head bowed.NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

“Why won’t I. When Varaganisa is threatening me”King Justin sighed heavily.

“Why don’t tell everyone about this,”Bonanza suggested.

“He’s going to kill everyone, he always wanted Tessa for himself but I didn’t agree to this. J can’t let my favorite daughter be with a beast like him.”King Justin muttered, removing his crown.

“Really, he wanted Her Majesty Tessa for himself. That’s disgusting,”Bonanza said, pouting his mouth in a disgusting way.

“Have been trying to get rid of varaganisa, if it takes me to kill him, then I will do it,”King Justin muttered.

“Why don’t I do that for you, your highness “Bonanza asked with his head bowed.

“Don’t worry about that, we will plan this perfectly. It’s not varaganisa only, there’s another person behind this. Varaganisa is just carrying everything out because of his hatred for me”King Justin sniffled.

He gasped, staring at the King,”Do you know the person behind it?”Bonanza asked.

“Yes, you don’t have to worry. I will have to do something about it”King Justin muttered.

“I would like to take my leave, your highness,”he said, bowing his head.

“You can leave, and thanks for understanding my reasons. Thanks for keeping this secret for me”He appreciated it.

“It’s my pleasure”He bowed and walked away.

“I will have to tell Tessa the secret only, and also the secret of my son, I will tell her today,”King Justin thought.

King Zain, walked around the castle garden, with a maid’s baby. A guard stood a few steps away from him.

“Your Highness,”A guard called.

“Go on”He uttered coldly.

“The three Messengers sent a letter indicating their successful arrival at CHILL HILLS Royal Castle, they said, they had managed to get into the castle.”He said.

“Did they see Fiona?”He asked.

“It wasn’t stated here your highness”He said truthfully.

“You can leave now”He uttered.

“Zain,”Raine called.

“What can I do for you?”He asked.

“Nothing, I just came to tell you that your lunch is ready”she replied

“I will join you later,”He replied.

“Zain, have I offended you?”she asked. King Zain stared at her for a few seconds and walked away.

Mrs Evelyn, Honour and Fiona walked inside the throne room.

“Queen Lola, we are back.”Mrs Evelyn announced.

“Oh, heavens, thank God you are here. I just asked Tessa whereabout but they told me they were hurting without a single guard.”Queen Lola uttered.

“They? Princess Tessa and who?”Fiona yelled at the maids and guards

“Princess Tessa and her sisters,”the maid replied.

“Princess Tessa, shouldn’t walk around in her condition”Mrs Evelyn murmured.

[Distance Voices could be heard]

Everyone in the throne room went to take a look at what’s happening and found a villager arguing with the guards.

“Stop,”Mrs Lola screamed.

“Her Highness”She greeted.

“What do you want, young lady?”Queen Lola asked.

“I saw the princess and her sisters at their usual archery spot. But they were kidnapped, Her Highness”She answered truthfully, falling on her knees.

“WHAT?”Queen Lola gasped.

A loud murmur began among the maids.

“This is not true”Fiona murmured, as her eyes were forming tears.

“Guards, I want you all to search that area”Queen Sabrina screamed. Queen Kelly wailed loudly, not minding the maids’ stares.

*What’s going on here?”King Justin asked, walking inside the throne room through the back door.
