"she's my niece!"

Now with Simon gone she had no where to run. She could feel many energies rising up. She couldn't even think of sneaking out now, but she had a hope that Crimson would be in the palace.

"Miss, do you have a minute to spare?"

Crimson's voice made her rush towards him, while he was holding a bracelet in his hand, he took her hands and tied the bracelet around her wrist.

"don't ever remove this!" his face looked serious, making her think if there was something going on which she doesn't know about.

"what's the matter, is something wrong?"

Her sudden question looked very impressive to him, he told that there are some crisis in south part and it had to be taken care of, and it will take a couple of days to return, he left by bidding goodbye.

she was all alone again. she was still thinking about her plans, the sudden knock on the door made her flinch, she got up to see who was knocking.

"Can we talk if you don't mind?"

a gentle voice came from the queen, which made her got up and bow in respect.

"you should have called me, why bother coming milady!"

she wasn't even prepared, her room was a little mess at the moment, every morning the first thing she ever does is to make her bed, but today it was full of chaos that she didn't had time to do so.

"I don't see you as a stranger, Rose. you are like a family to me!"

her words which made her nervous, she even told her how lonely she used to be, even though she had his sons, but she always felt something was missing in her life, and after she came, the emptiness in heart was filled. and she asked her to feel at home around her.

"you don't need to be very formal with me, be relaxed!" she smiled at her, which automatically bought a smile on Rose's face.

"Would you mind going outside with me?"

she held her hands and gently rubbing them, she asked her out, which she accepted very sincerely.

after the queen left, she could feel something in her heart, which made her eyes moist.

was it because she felt a warmth of a mother after long time? or was there some other reasons?

"why am I crying, why do I feel sad and happy at a same time?" she went to her balcony.

"why does she feel so close to me?"

Queen was very curious, and was very happy to have someone like her. she was still walking, but her way was blocked by Medusa.

"what is it dear?"

Queen asked very politely, but she wasn't in the mood to be sweet.

"don't you think you guys don't respect me, do you even think of me as a family?" she cried.

she was a drama queen after all, she asked the queen to invite her friends on her birthday party, so that she can meet them, but her ulterior motive was to seduce their sons.

"my friends are busy these days sweety!"

she patted her head, which made her more angry, she stepped back as to avoid her touch.

"you wouldn't have said these if you were my biological mother!"

her eyes turned moist as she ran back to her room, and shut the door with a bang.

her words made the queen feel bad for her, Medusa was a spoilt brat, but she was still a small girl, who felt lonely, it was her rudeness which made Simon hate her, and Crimson was the only one who cared for her.

at the dining room, Rose accompanied Queen, they were having dinner.

"Can we go out Tomorrow ."

listening to this, Rose was almost chocked by the food. which made queen rush towards her with a glass of water, she made her drink and told her she doesn't have to come if she feels not.

"No milady, i will accompany you!"

a quick correction came from her. making queen smile and they both had their dinner with peace.

The other morning, Rose was waiting, after being dressed, and butler came to her asking to follow him, and she followed him to the garden where Royal cart was waiting her arrival, and Queen was already sitting inside, she bowed and sat in opposite direction to her, these carriage was different from others, this was personally designed by the late king itself,

the carriage was made up of gold and other precious stones. and the interior of it was just like a royal room, which had a table in between both side.

"This is a gift from my late husband. isn't it pretty?"

she said as she touched the couch, which had there memories.

Rose could feel how much The Queen missed The King.

the carriage stopped infront of a big mansion, followed by a butler to open the door and the soldiers stood guarding them, and the house owner were waiting outside as if they were already notified the Queen's arrival. they all bowed to the queen while Rose stood behind, bowing her head.

they went in and she was made to sit on a very comfortable couch with Queen which was made specially just for the Queen.

the woman who was the owner of the mansion was very polite, and looked very gorgeous, she didn't wore very heavy makeup, but wore very simple.

but she dressed as royals do, simple but sweet.

they talked for sometime, but her eyes couldn't resist the beauty beside her.

"who is this young lady.... milady..?"

she looked at Rose, who gave a little smile, but she looked very professional, her sitting style, her way of walking all represented, she was royal, she was a princess though.....

"ooh .. meet my niece Rihanna!" she placed her hands on Rose's which were turned sweaty, as she was nervous.

while Rihanna was speechless, after she addressed her as her niece as The queen had no brothers as far as she knew.

"she is just like a niece to me!" she smiled at Rose making her comfortable.
