CHAPTER 17: DOUBT YOUR ROYALTY

"Why are you sending them away" King Zeus snapped at her " Are you ashamed to let them know of your daughter's promiscosity and how she has defiled herself,well, there's no need for that,cause I'm quite aware that they all already know" King Zeus barked,he was sick,sick of tolerating his so called daughter's promiscous character.

"You claim that the vampires fear her but that's bull shit cause they don't,how would men who have slept with her respect her huh" he paused as he examined their shocked faces before he continued,this time lowering his voice. " You know why they all fear Dianne,you know why huh,it's not because of her rare extraordinary powers,no that's not the only reason,it's because Dianne,my daughter carries herself with the pride and prestige that's expected from a royal,just like her mother"

"But my Lord" Queen Alexia cut him off with a small voice unable to handle him mentioning his first wife. " No matter what Leonor has done My Lord,she's still your daughter and we can always correct her, she'll listen"

"But you knew of it Alexia" the king retorted. " You knew of how she'd been defiling herself right under my roof but still you did nothing about it, nothing,you made no efforts to correct her, it has even gotten to the notice of the twelve kingdoms of how promiscous your daughter is"

"My daughter!!" Queen Alexia replied looking surprised,since when did Leonor become only her daughter

"Yes your daughter,yes, because ever since she was little she'd been under your care and you've spoiled her rotten to no end,she shows up at anywhere and anytime,the whole world knows how princess Leonor,the first daughter of King Zeus looks like"

"What do you mean My Lord"

"It's exactly what I mean,just take a look at Dianne, only few people have seen her in person,just few,my daughter doesn't just show up in any event infact she never shows up in any event, that's how it should be as a royal,you should be a scarce figure"

"My Lord, please do not compare your two daughte....."

Queen Alexia was suddenly interrupted by King Zeus who started to beat his chest. " I can boldly hit my chest and say that My Anne is still pure and untouched by any man,but sadly I can't say the same for you" he pointed at Leonor looking disappointed as hell

As at that time, Leonor was already in tears,her father had never spoken to her that way and the fact that he was comparing her with her younger sister whom she hated to the core broke her heart,she'd always been jealous of Dianne for as long as she could remember, because she always thought that Dianne was her father's favorite and aside from that,she envied her beauty,her powers and her status as the most feared creature in the twelve kingdoms, despite being the heiress to the throne, Dianne was payed more respect than she could have ever been given,she felt really bitter about it all especially whenever she saw the vampires shaking whenever her presence was felt

To further cement the hatred was that Dianne never noticed her till date, despite the fact that they were siblings, Dianne never approached her to say hi or initiate a conversation, Leonor although was very much aware that it was Dianne's nature and that she never really talked to anyone,not even herself, but she just had that underlying hatred blooming in her for Dianne. ' just because she was a half demon with the powers of a witch and a vampire ',what made her so special?

Again Jealousy began to whirl over Leonor as soon as she remembered the words of her father saying that Dianne was still pure and untouched by anyone, Leonor remembered clearly that she had succumbed to her canal desires at the early age of 16 but Dianne was 17, approaching 18 yet,she was still pure.

" But my Lord, Leonor still remains your..."

"Silence Alexia" the King's voice thundered making Alexia to shriek back in fear.

The king's patience was wearing thin as he struggled to keep his cool. " As much as I don't want to say it Alexia,but you have failed woefully as a mother,my first wife, Dianne's mother spent only 10 years with Dianne just before she died but those 10 years were more than enough to raise a fine woman but you've had 20 years to just sit around and watch as your daughter rots,I'm disappointed" he confessed.

Alexia had her mouth wide open at King Zeus's statement,she'd always known that King Zeus never loved her even till date and that was why they didn't even share a room,he still had deep immense love For his first wife Queen Atlenna even after over 8 years of her passing away.

King Zeus after Leonor's birth had never succumbed to his canal desires with her,he'd only taken her in for a child to preserve his throne and that he got hence he had no business with her again and he made it fully known to Alexia and for about 8 years,they had lived like friends .

King Zeus hissed after dropping those words as he walked pass Alexia towards Leonor who was already in a pool of her own tears, Leonor at first thought he was walking towards her to pet her as usual but to her utmost disappointment,he walked pass her dropping the words. " Sometimes I'm forced to doubt your Royalty" and that broke Leonor even more.

On Thursday morning,

Dianne reached school at about 8:50 am,she looked ravishing and more beautiful than the day before,last night she didn't go for hunting but had just gone out to scope some suspected areas in the west zone hence she returned quite early and she had enough sleep and the amazing effect was just reflecting on her.

She entered the school dressed in all black again like a villain,but today was a little baggy,a silky baggy jean on top a short silky matching crop top showing off little skin and her slender curves,her hair was tied into a high ponytail and her bag pack hanging on the left shoulder as usual,the Dianne style, and her expensive looking boots were giving off a real celebrity vibe

She walked through the hallway to her class ignoring the looks from everyone,this was only her fourth day in this school and she was already trending so badly even though she had been literally quiet all through the days.
