Chapter Ninety Seven

"Twelve successive pregnancies have given rise to wealth in this kingdom .

" Sniffs ..."

Duxan never married any of my daughters to Princes instead to old decayed teeth men like he is .

I watched them cry for mercy and help to stop their marriages but then I kept silent .

I still remember Ivy's words ;

"Mum ,don't do this ,I don't want to marry that old man ...please save me mum ...."

I remember her words because she 's the one who got married last .

My two daughters are still young for marriage but then ,I watched ten daughters slid away my eyes because I knew in order to get to the throne ,I needed to sacrifice a great deal .

I sacrificed my daughters to old men just because I wanted to get to the throne .

I wanted to be Duxan's favourite so I humiliated myself so many times in front of him .

I became his strumpet more unless as his wife or Queen .

I kept mute because I knew where I was heading to .

When I heard my little boy grow like a seed in my womb ,I joyfully gave a smile because i knew that my plans were falling into play but little did i know that , they were backsliding in my own eyes .

Now I stand here and take a look at myself and ask if I am really Gema ....

The one who fought like a warrior and defeated many .

"Sniffs ...."

Raquel ,if my little boy comes out now ,what future will I give him because I have lost everything now .

"Hmph ...."

My sacrifices have been in vain and now ,I'm no one in this kingdom .

No title Raquel .....no title ...

Don't I deserve to be troubled ?

What could be a mother's greater burden either than knowing that her child has no future ,she bitterly said gritting her teeth .

.... ....

We are done packing up the staff we need for our journey tomorrow ,Laura calmly said to Krystal .

She sat by her window calmly and drowned in emotions as she thought about leaving the kingdom without her love with her .

"Is this how it will all end ? ,she questioned herself as tears from no where began flowing down her cheeks .

The more she tried wiping away her tears ,the more the tears flown down her cheeks .

This was the time she needed her mother the most but she still recalls how her heartless father took her life away in front of them without any emotion in his eyes .

"If mum were to be here ,I would have buried my head and poured my heart out on her chest so that she could comfort me but since she isn't ,I don't have to miss the second chance of living with my sister again .

'Sniffs .....I can't let her down after sacrificing so much for me . "

Since all the staffs for our journey is ready ,I guess there's no more time to waste anymore .

We will leave this Kingdom forever , at dawn .

Before the cock crows in the morning to the hearing of everyone in this kingdom ,we would be gone so keep your eyes alert and inform Alexa ,she has to come into our chamber ;if better she should sneak in here without anyone's notice to make our plan easier ,Krystal said firmly with certainty .

Laura ,Lydia and Sara knew her too well to know that she wasn't going to change her mind about leaving .

Especially after what happened at the baby showering ceremony of Queen Gema .

Princess Theodora arrived with her father King Mahurazie to the ceremony and the engagement between she and Wales would take place the next day .

Wales didn't say anything to retort the sudden engagement and neither did he say anything to Krystal .

His silence meant concern for Krystal and if Krystal appreciated anything ,it was because of the fact that he gave her a chance to love him and the fact that he held on to their memories was far enough for her .

Again ,she appreciated the fact that ,Wales kept silent about their escape plan and not a single word to anyone .

.... ....

I guess your second marriage is going to bring you light ,Rhian spat out even though she was a bit hurt .

Her relationship had not been better with Wales and as a princess ,she knew her husband wouldn't have her alone as a wife .

Even though she expected this day ,she felt jealousy run down her whole body like skin rashes which made her develop a whole pack of goose bumps on her body .

She lost her chance of making it up to Wales because she knew her rival was no joke .

She wasn't going to give Rhian a soft time at all .Just the thought of this made her hurt a lot .

'Hmph ....!

Rhian , 'Wales called softly .His voice immediately pierced through her heart .His voice sounded melodious and she felt flattered already.

It was the first time ,he had called her name so softly after they got married .

"Yea ,do you want something ? , she asked drawing closer to him with little blushes flush her cheeks like radiant light from the crescent moon ."

Hmm . .he hesitated a while before drawing closer as well .

As their gazes met ,Rhian was fawned to the extent that her saliva almost dropped out of her mouth .

She bit her lower lips to stay study and pleasing to the man in front of her .

"When again was she going to get this chance to be this close to him especially now that there was a competitor so she kept her cool and worn her best behaviour for his absolute impression ."

His almond eyes looked directly into hers and her bright ,huge but cute eyes which fitted her face and exposed her beauty looked into his .

It was like an emotion breakdown since they were so close .

He squeezed her shoulder a little with teary eyes and when that wasn't enough ,he pulled her into his embrace not wanting to ever let go .

"I understand Wales ....she said wiping away her tears ."
