Chapter Four

Samantha just couldn't take it anymore. She couldn't stand the way her aunt, Queen Alexandra, was faking her sadness, and they were all feeling pity for her. She just couldn't stand it anymore. Then she turned around in anger, sighting the cake, sitting gracefully on one of the dessert tables . She smiled mischievously, walked towards and cake and pushed it over the table and it fell to the ground with some glasswares going along with it to the ground.

"Isn't that the princess, Samantha...."

" Why did she do that?...."

"She must be a rebel. You just could tell she is one."

Queen Alex faced the crowd and gave another smile, " I am very sorry for my niece's mischief. I apologise on her behalf." Facing Samantha, she said, " Daughter, come with me. "

" Yes, my lady,"

"You're in a whole lot of trouble," Rosella whispered to Samantha as they left the ballroom.

"Rosella!" Alex called

" Yes, mother," she replied

"Come with me."

****************

the door to the Queen's room flung wide open. Alex dragged Samantha into the room by the ear in anger. Rosella folded her arms, watching the drama unfolding before her. Samantha lets out a painful yelp as Alex throws her to the ground. " You fool! Hiw dare you try to ruin my ceremony!"

" Well, she ruined my cake," Rosella added with a boring expression on her face as she toyed with her neatly polished fingernails. Then, all of a sudden, her expression changed from bored to angry, " You ruined my cake..... my cake, you damn fool." Rosella screamed

" You have no right to treat me this way. How dare you? I am the crown princess of Vandamore. I hold the authority of..." A slap landed across her face.

" Shut that trash you call a mouth. What authority do you hold in this kingdom. You have no magical powers that a true citizen of Vandamore should. No one even knew you were a princess. "

A year dropped from Samantha's eyes, " You're just as amiserable as your late mother. You hold an authority, you say? Go out there and command any subject you see, and let's see if any of them will even listen to you. "

"No, they won't, because ni one knows you. No one recognises you. You were born impotent, so remain that way.".Alex scoffed.

" You are just as useless as your mother," she continued, " Such gene runs in the blood of miserable pigs like you, and you dare to disrupt my party."

" She ruined my cake," Rosella hissed.

" You must be punished for suvmch immoral act,"

At that moment, Martha, Alex's head of maids and advisor, stepped in, " Relax, me lady," She said in her raspy cat-like voice. " She acted out of arrogance, which is common among young children. Just leave her be "

" I do not need you to speak for me," Queen Alex said aggressively

Martha only smiled and moved toward Sam and held her chip up with just one finger, " You know nothing...hmmm." she gave Samantha a quick look and said, " You still need brushing up. " Turns towards Alex. "She should be trained with the men. You know what I mean."

" That should work for her," Rosella smirked at Samantha, and they glared at each other with an intensity filled with hate once more.

" That sounds befitting, i believe.... at least for someone like you. "

" What? No!!! You can't do this to me!" Samantha screamed.

"Oh yes, I can. It seems syoure forgetting who the queen here is. "

Martha, Rosella and Alex begind to leave the room.

" Enjoy your training," Rosella said with a wicked grin on her face as she left and the door shut after them.

Sam dragged herself from the ground. She sits dejected on her bed.

Sam "...oh.." she sighed

She moved to the window, " Mom, dad, how i wish you were here. Why did you leave me? Aunt Alex has taken over the kingdom. She's planning to do something bad, and I can feel it." she soliloquised, " What did I do, Why did you leave me? Why?? Oh, how i miss you. " Tears fell from her eyes.

She weeped sorrowful. She fiukd not eat her food when the maids brought it. The coronation ended without her. She went into her pillow all through the night.
