The real Amanda II

After several hours they came to a very painful conclusion but if that did not serve as a lesson they would leave her to her fate. The King ordered his guards to look for Amanda and Frida and to take them to the meeting room, where the King's advisors were present with some late-night Enrique, Laureano, Florencia, Orquídea and the King himself, who announced that he had killed the dream.

From the corridors could be heard the complaining voices of Amanda and Frida, when they arrived before the King Amanda wanted to order her uncle to send his guards to execute them for such brutality and send them to take out all those present, Orquídea who had not separated from Laureano stood up and approached her while Amanda was saying

Amanda: Sister Orchid, this is a breach of trust, isn't it?

But what Amanda didn't expect was a slap from her older sister, before she could ask Orchid turns around and says in a dry tone

Orchid: Sister, I don't consider you my sister Amanda.

Frida who tried to stop her and claim her for such rudeness Florencia in a quick movement grabbed her sister's hand tightly and with the other one helped her to release Orchid while she said

Florencia: don't even think of touching my niece Frida, otherwise you will really see who I am.

But what Florencia did not expect was that her own sister would make fun of her and say: "Your niece, she will be ours, besides I know you well little sister, you are just a crazy woman who adopted a poor guy who knows what diseases he has, don't make me laugh.

This one did not contain her anger and with her left hand she gave her such a slap that left her face not only sideways but as red as a tomato. Frida looked at her frightened and recoiled a little when she saw the face of a Florencia, not angry but furious like a lioness who says: you can say what you want about me, but don't mess with Pierre, besides he is much healthier than you.

Orquídea who sees her aunt decides to hug her and with an already hoarse voice says: "Aunt, it is not worth it to waste saliva or emotions for -people- who don't even have feelings".

As she sat down again next to Laureano who was standing firm to his beloved's chair. A sad Enrique sends for Creta to bring Laura and talk to him, while Emiliano only looked at how his brother and niece were devastated he decided to wait and while he got up from his throne he walked towards the window to see how the birds were saying good morning to everyone, Laura who was all haggard for having cried all night in Orquídea's bedroom walks in company of Creta who accompanies her step by step to the royal throne.

When Laura sees her father she tries to smile without much success while Enrique embraces her and together with Creta takes her to one side of the great room and asks her to tell him why her eyes are red and so marked, Creta, silent as a tomb, only caresses Laura's hair while she tells her father everything since Orchid went out to get some air until she comes back from her walk.

He is attentive to every word and looks at Orquídea who with her hair all messed up and her face haggard only looks at her dress while her hand has not let go for a long time of Laureano's hand who has shown not only that he loves her but that he has been a great confidant and even though Orquídea told him that he could give his opinion he has not said a word about what has happened, he has only spoken to help Orquídea to lift and bring a chair closer to her and her aunt.

Enrique, who gives a sigh and Laura finish what happened, looks at his brother and shaking his head in an affirmative way he stays next to Laura and sees how his brother sits again on the throne and while he refines his voice he says in questioning tone

King Emiliano: Amanda we have sent for you along with your aunt Frida to corroborate certain information that has reached my ears and my question is the following Do you hate Laura, or are you jealous of Laura because of her liaison with the Englishman with the last name of Matthew?

Amanda, who rolls her eyes and wants to laugh, answers: That's absurd uncle, how can I be jealous of her, I would never do something like that, why do you ask, what gossip did they come to you with?

While he sharpens his question and his tone of voice he says: So you hate her and that's why you don't think she is the right wife for Matthew?

Frida who hated to be ignored replied: What nonsense is this, don't you see that he already answered her, besides she asked him a question.

Enrique was about to speak but Emiliano in a commanding tone exclaimed: you shut your mouth, I am talking to Amanda and not to you, when I want your opinion I ask you directly, and another thing I am the one asking this time and I will do it as many times as necessary, have I been clear?

Frida who had been speechless because of how he had spoken to her only decided to nod, Amanda on her side saw for the first time how her uncle was when he really should be King and almost speechless she answered: I don't hate her, but I really don't think she is a good candidate for Lord Matthew.
