“Titania, why’re you doing this? How did you expect me to reply to this question? Just let me lay you down on the bed and probably sleep for some time. I’ll wait.” Arthur said, calmly moving closer to her slowly.
“Don’t you dare move closer to me! Do you love me or not?” Titania said,in a serious tone not behaving like a person under the influence of alcohol.
She brings the knife forward to her stomach and her hands were seriously shaking.
“Your Highness, I’m willing to say the truth. I only need you to put the knife down so I can lay you down on the bed,or I use other means.” Arthur said and walked hurriedly to her. Before she could do anything funny, he already make his way. He collected the knife and throws it to where her hand cannot reach.
After that, he rose her up and carefully lay her on the bed. But Titania pulled him to herself and his chest fell on hers.
“Your highness, you need to get back to your senses.” Arthur tried to disconnect himself from her, but she gave him no way.
“I want your…. lips… Give it to me!” She said, grasping his chin.
“Nooooo…!! This isn’t appropriate!” Arthur hollered as she was about to claim her lips on his.

★The next morning★
Titania wake up with a slight headache. She saw her maid bringing her breakfast.
“My lady, good morning. Hope you slept well?”
“Who brought me here last night?” Titania asked, perplexedly.
“Who else would it be If not..”
“Arthur? How come he was able to brought me home? I remember.. No, this can’t be!” Titania said, and stood up hurriedly.
“My lady, if I may asked, why’re you going?” Her maid asked, but there was no response from her.
“Do you have any clue on where he could be right now?” She asked.
“He hasn’t yet resume work this morning, I guess he’s probably tired last night. And eventually woke up late.” Her maid explained, but Titania wasn’t satisfied with her reply.
“Okay, I think I should put my mind at rest!” She concluded and sat down on the bed.
“Here’s your breakfast..” Her maid said, placing her meals before her while she was lost in her own world of thoughts.

★Onami’s Place★
“Good morning mother, hope you have a wonderful night?” Onami and Naomi greeted.
“Yes, I did. You both need to tell me what you’re up to this morning for greeting me.” Their mother said and looked at them with keen interest; trying to figure out one or two things from their morning’s behavior.
“Mother, stop it! Just rest today, we’ll go to the market ourselves. You really tried last night.” Onami said while Naomi nod.
“Are my ears decieving me this morning? Did I hear you clearly?”
“Yes, of course you did. You just wanna be sure of what you heard. And frankly speaking, we really want you to help today.
Leave everything to us and we’ll handle it more than I sent us. In it?”
“No, not until I know what you both planned on doing there.” Their mother declined.
“Nothing really serious actually, just tell sell your goods. You should at least have a little trust in us.” Naomi said, with a sad tone.
“Isn’t that I don’t believed you, but I’m doing this for clarifications. Alright, I grant it. But make sure you don’t stay too long, don’t come late at night.”
“We won’t. Goodbye!”

★Royal court council★
“Your Majesty,we really need to act fast.. The goods need to be exported before other country does. We cannot lose our..”
“Your Majesty,in my own opinion, I think we shouldn’t now. We need to cater for our people before anything.”
“Your Majesty, I agree with Minister Sullivan opinion.”
“Your Majesty, I don’t think that’s the best option!”
“Your Majesty..”
“Enough…!!” The king yelled.
“This meeting’ll be postponed till tomorrow. His Majesty needs some rest.” The king’s guard declared.
“Your Majesty…!!” The king’s subjects said,in unison.
The king left the court with his guards and other servants.
His subjects whispered to themselves before going to their respective destinations.
“I noticed His Majesty hasn’t been feeling quite well lately.” A minister said to the other ministers beside him as they walked out of the court.
“Exactly! I noticed that also. But, why’s His Majesty keeping it away from us?” Another minister said.
“This’s unusual,we need to investigate on this.” The first minister concluded.
★★★
“Your Majesty, the Queen’s in labour!” A guard declared from outside.
“Tell the midwives not to let anything happens to her and the baby!” The king said from inside.
“Yes, Your Majesty..” The guard bowed and leave.
★★★
★Labour suite★
“My lady, please give it one more push..” The midwives said.
“Cant you just removed it without me pushing again? I’m extremely tired, please.” Queen Paisley pleaded.
“We can’t, Your Highness. Give it a one more push.” The midwives said and Paisley hold onto the long cloth and pushed hard and immediately the head of the baby came out and the midwives carefully removed the baby.
“Your Highness, there’s another baby on the way!” One of the midwives declared.
“You better pulled it out yourself because I got no energy left in me.” Queen Paisley said, weakly. There were sweats all over her, she was shievering. Even the midwives feared she might not survive it, but they couldn’t divulge it to the king because he as longed waited for this moment.
A maid leave the labour suite with a tray containing Queen Paisley’s blood.
“How’s she?” Queen Amyra asked the maid.
“Your Highness, Her Highness happens to be carrying a twin in her womb,so she’s trying to deliver the second baby, but she has lost a lot of blood. I don’t wanna say this, but Her Highness.. can… not.. su..” The maid stammered.
“She cannot, what?” Queen Amyra asked, fearfully.
“She cannot survive it, Your Highness.. I’m sorry..” The maid said and ran out of sight.
“So, Paisley’s carrying a twin all these months? She doesn’t mentioned that to me.” Queen Amyra thought.
“Congratulations Your Highness, the queen as just delivered a twin.” The midwives declared to Queen Amyra.
“That isn’t the most important thing right now, how’s Paisley?” Queen Amyra asked, ignoring their greetings.
“Her Highness’s dead!” They dropped the bombshell and she burst into cocrodie’s tears.
Queen Amyra stormed into the labour suite to be sure if Paisley’s truly dead or not. She entered and saw her corpse.
She moved closer to her and continues shedding cocrodie’s tears.
Before the midwives could enter, she already carried the male child on her arms, weeping as if it was true love she has to the deceased.
“You all are to listen to me.” She suddenly said and the pretence has stopped.
“Don’t tell the king or anyone that Paisley gave birth to a male child or you lose your lives in a brutal way!” Queen Amyra said, sternly and the midwives including the maids are now on their knees.
“We won’t, Your Highness. Please spare our lives ” They all pleaded.
“Of course, I’ll if you’re ready to cooperate with me. Why won’t I?” Queen Amyra said,in a mocking tone.
“One of you should inform the king about the news and don’t forget my warning.”
“Yes, Your Highness.” They all quickly obey her.
★★★
In hearing the sadden news, the king was extremely sad. He demanded for the corpse before he believed she’s dead.
He cried his eyes out, not minding whether he’s a king or not.
Queen Paisley was his favorite consort. Ever since he married her, she has been a source of Joy and happiness to him. Though, it took years for her to have the pregnancy she had.
So her death was the saddest news he ever heard. He doesn’t care if the baby’s a girl or boy, he only wants to see her sweet, adorable, beautiful, little face.
“Your Majesty,we know that Queen Paisley death as cause a damage to you, but you really need to take heart. She wouldn’t be happy where she’s if she saw how you’re behaving. We believed there’s a reason why she she has to leave us quite early.” The king subjects confronted him.
★★★
★Queen Amyra’s suite★
“Mother, the best solution’s to ki|| the child since no one knows about Queen Paisley gave birth to a twin.” Titania suggested and her mother stared at the baby who was sleeping peacefully on her arms for a while.
“You’re right. I want you to be the next king after your father and not her child. But you know you need to act fast, you need to get a husband and get marry as soon as possible for you both and have babies so your husband could be the next king.
But, who’s the man your heart pants for?” Her mother asked.
“Arthur..”
“Arthur? Why’s it him?”
“Because I love him and we have went beyond what you think. We have intimate!” Titania said and her mother couldn’t stop staring at her in awe.
“What?!” Queen Amyra exclaimed.
“I wanna marry him and I need your help.” Titania added.
★★★
★Market square★
Arthur and some warriors’re seen patrolling in the market square.
Castiel sighted someone that look alike with that of Naomi’s face. He kept on staring at the person, but he later left the others and went to her.
“Hello!”
“Hello!”
“Did we meet at the lattern festival last night?” Castiel asked.
“No,we didn’t.” How may I help you?”
“Never mind, I’m sorry.”
“It’s nothing.” Naomi said, smiling.
“Bye!”
“Bye!”
“Do you know him?” Onami asked, facing her.
“I don’t know him, sister.”
“Okay. I heard the Queen gave birth and dead after some minutes. So people would be allowed in the palace today.”
“Meaning?”
“We would be able to steal something valuable there. And I have got the map of the places in the palace.”” Onami explained and Naomi hugged her immediately.
“No wonder you want us to come to the market today. This’s a miracle!”
“Indeed!”
★★★
★Palace★
Onami and Naomi entered the palace. All the suites were vacancy. They were able to get some valuable things before they started hearing footsteps.
“Naomi, let’s get going.” Onami said and they stopped the searching.
They tiptoed out of the suite; trying to find their way out of the palace with the map.
When they stept out, they saw Arthur and others. They couldn’t see their faces because they were both wearing masks.
Soon they were surrounded by Arthur’s men and they swing their swords.
“What’re you both doing here?” Arthur asked.
“We came..”
“In this kind of dressing? Who’re you? Are you the petty thieves that have been stealing from the villagers.” Arthur asked further.
“We’re innocent, please let’s us go.” Naomi pleaded.
“Attack..!!” Arthur ordered, but Castiel stopped them.
“She isn’t the culprit, Arthur..!!” Castiel said, and Arthur looked at him, grasping his sword in anger.
