[BAD AND GOOD NEWS]
“Priestess Nunu”They yelled when they suddenly appeared in her room.
“It’s a narrow escape”Amelia breathed, she turned to Veal and she noticed he looked so sad.
Who wouldn’t be sad? He found out the person whom he having be saying $h|t about is his mother, and he found out she is his mother on a strange day.
“Veal”Priestess Nunu called weakly.
“Stop being dramatic, Amelia will heal you”Veal snapped.
“Take good care of yourself”Nunu said and give up a ghost immediately.
“Lia, place your hand on her chest…. You still…mother? Mother?,”He shouted but got no response from her.
“Lia, she is not talking again”Veal reported, in tears.
“She is sleeping, I know right. She will soon wake up and start demanding for food”He Chuckled as tears roll down from his eyes.
“Lia, do you notice priestess Nunu is so cute…”
“Veal stop”Amelia cautioned and pull him into a hug while he burst into tears.
“You don’t have to be sad, I promise to be with you”She patted his back, as tears roll down from her eyes.

☆𝑭𝑬𝑾 𝑯𝑶𝑼𝑹𝑺 𝑳𝑨𝑻𝑬𝑹~ 𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑷𝑨𝑳𝑨𝑪𝑬☆
It is all over the village that Priestess Nunu is dead but some of the villagers did not believe the news even when they heard She is buried.
Yes she is buried because that is Veal command.
King Veal is so lost in thoughts in his chamber, he couldn’t get his mind off his mother and he wish he could spend little time with her.
“Your highness”A guard greeted and entered.
“Prince Ivan and princess Lima left the clan”He reported.
“Priestess Nunu is buried beside late queen Henrietta”He said and Veal threw a cup at them which he luckily dodge.
“Leave”He commanded and the guard walk away.

<QUEEN EBBE CHAMBER>
Lyla and Lima have settle their dispute and Lucas have forgive his mother for misleading him. Lima is with Ivan in his clan.
He is planning to get a wife and they were discussing about who he is going to marry.
“Maid? You must be out of your mind!”Lyla snapped.
“What is wrong in getting married to a maid? Besides, I heard king Veal is seeing a maid, that is why he cut off marriage with Yara”Lucas gisted and Ebbe smack his head.
“Don’t go around, spreading fak e news”She cautioned and he smiled.
“I will inform other king…”
“You don’t have to do that, I have the person I wish to marry”He replied.
“Really? Who?”Queen Ebbe asked curiously.
“Princess Amara”He replied in a whisper.
“C’mon, let me hear what you are saying! Are you trying to gossip with mom when I am right here?”Lyla yelled and Lucas laughed.
“I am so sad to tell you that, I will not tell you the person I will be getting married to so, don’t meddle in my business”He warned and Lyla rush to Queen Ebbe who was busy smiling at her children jokes.
“Mother, can you embarrass him by telling me the person he wish to marry”Lyla pouted
Queen Ebbe hold her palm and lean to her ear while Lucas rush to separate them but before he could get there queen Ebbe already told Lyla who the person is.
“Princess Amara is so pretty”Lyla stuck her tongue at him before rushing out of Ebbe chamber.

Brielle just finish washing her clothes at the stream, she carry her pot which is filled with the clothes she went there to wash.
She was on her way home when three men stop at her front. She glance at each of them and made to walk away but they push her back then she fell and her pot broke.
“What do you think you are doing?”She yelled and they smirked.
“My friend have been telling you to marry him but you refused, you are very stubborn but I want you to know that we are more stubborn than you fool”One of them spat.
“You wanted to marry me? I did not even recognize your face not to talk of remembering you coming to propose to me. I think you got the wrong person”She excused.
“No we didn’t..”
“Yes you did”A masculine voice was heard behind them and as expected, Marcus showed up with his sword in his left hand and a crazy smile playing on his lips.
“Who are you?”A man questioned.
“Marcus from Jang Jang training unit”He replied and the three men quickly find their way out of his sight.
“Brielle”Marcus called as he walk to her.
Brielle stared at him in anger, she have been expecting him after the day they kissed but he did not show up. She even went to see him but he did come to see her.
“What are you doing here, after neglecting me for so long?”She asked and hissed.
“Brielle, I know I have wronged you…”
“You already know you wronged me but why are you here!”She snapped.
“Beie…”
“Leave”She snapped.
Marcus breathe in and out in frustration before pulling her into a hug forcefully.
After some seconds she stop fighting back and hug him while tears escape her eyes.
“I am sorry”He apologized.
” I don’t know why you neglect me, am I not beautiful enough for you, do you think I am not capable to be your wife, I thought you found the person you love so, why did you come to me?”She sniffed.
“I love you”He confessed and disengage from the hug.
“How are you going to prove that?”She questioned and he lean closer to her. Marcus stared at her lips for some minutes before capturing it in his mouth.
Brielle did not wait for another minute before receprocating and they kissed hungrily.
***FEW MINUTES AFTER***
Brielle and Marcus got to Brielle house and they entered.
“What about your sister? What are you planning to do with her? Are you going to remain silent forever?”Marcus asked and she sighed.
“I wish I could tell her but she seems fine, I don’t want to disturb her…”
“I am sure she is very curious to meet you, she was a baby when you departed. You shouldn’t be angry with her”Marcus snapped.
“Wh@??ver, I don’t expect her to forget me”She replied with a pout.
“Reveal yourself to her then she will decide if she want you to stay with her or to stay away from her”He said.
“I will try to do that but, it is going to be a crazy job for me as well. I have no idea about her whereabouts, I think she left the palace because I saw her drinking the other day and as expected a maid shouldn’t be drinking so, I don’t think she is in the palace”She concluded.
“Have you check on her in the palace? If you have check on her but couldn’t see her then she is not there anymore”He said and she sighed.
“Fine! I will check if she is still in the palace. Happy now?”She roll her eyes.
“Why don’t we go now?”He suddenly asked.
“What are you talking about? We should go today? You must be out of your mind!”She smirked.
“I mean what I said!”
“Today is a very bad day, Priestess Nunu died today so, today is a very bad day to do something like that”She snapped.
“The king haven’t announced the death of priestess Nunu so, I do not believe in that. Besides, do you think you can just enter the palace? This is the only opportunity you have to go there if you miss this, then forget about revealing yourself to your sister”Marcus snapped back and she rough her hair angrily.
“Why do you look foolish but you sound so intelligent”She roll her eyes and walk to her room.
“What are you doing?”He yelled.
“I want to change my dress, do you want to come and take a look at your future wife”She asked in a seductive and temptating tone.
“No, I will rather wait her”Marcus replied sharply.

<JASON CLAN>
Lima and Ivan entered the king palace and the guards bowed respectfully.
“Your highness”Ivan and Lima chorused as they bow their heads.
“L..I…m..a”King Myra stammered as he stood up from his throne.
“Father”They both called when they notice the surprise look on the king face.
“The person you want to marry is princess Lima?”He asked just to be sure of what he is seeing.
“Father I haven’t introduce her to…”
“What are you trying to say?”Lima snapped at Ivan and he kept quiet.
“Good evening father, I am Lima and I am from Sukrish clan. I am here as the crown prince wife to be. May you live long my king”She introduced with a smile and King Myra sat on the throne, he is shivering badly.
He have known Ivan and Lima for so long, they don’t seems to enjoy each other company. They are always on each other’s neck. But, he was shocked when he saw Ivan and Lima holding hands.
“I want to know how you fall in love with each other?”He demanded without thinking.
“Dad, we just..”
“Ivan you asked me to give you the chance to bring the person you truly love but the person I am seeing now is the person you truly h@??”King Myra cut Ivan off.
“Father, it is not like that; we actually find out that the love we have for each other is very great, that was why we were found of throwing shades at each other back then. But, trust me father the love I have for Ivan is true and I promise to take very good care of him in future if you give us your blessings”Lima begged and King Myra was stunned at her response.
“Father?”Lima called when King Myra gave no response to her.
“Guards!”He summoned, and three guards kneel before king Myra immediately he called them.
“Take Ivan future wife to the chamber next to Ivan chamber. Tell the court lady to take very good care of her”He warned.
“I have heard you my king”They bowed.
“So, father, you have approve our relationship? Thank you father!”Lima and Ivan screamed in happiness.
“Take good care of Lima, you know she doesn’t have father”King Myra reminded and Ivan nodded cutely before following the guards who already gesture them to the exit.
“I think they are not in love..Are they?”King Myra doubted as he sighed.

They all kept quiet when King Veal appeared in the palace with Amelia and some guards behind him.
Amelia return to the palace since Veal need her the most now so, she plan to stay with him until he recover from the shocks.
Brielle and Marcus smiled when they saw Amelia but she couldn’t see them.
King Veal sat on his throne, he saw how anxious the villagers are and he clear his throat before speaking.
“I have a good news and a bad news. Which one are you ready to hear?”He asked while Amelia wondered what the good news is.

“What is he planning to do?”Zuriel whispered to Gareth who also seems confused.
👥 WHO ARE YOU GETTING MARRIED TO MY KING?
Veal smirked and stood up from the throne, he slowly walk to Amelia who is already moving back in fear and shock.
“I hereby announce Amelia as my wife”He announced and the villager started murmuring among themselves.
👥A maid?
“We will be getting married after priestess Nunu funeral which will hold tomorrow”King Veal said and started walking out of the palace with Amelia beside him.
👥My king you are too good to marry a maid
👥 Princess Yara is a perfect match for you
Veal sighed and turn to Amelia whom face is buried on the ground.
He grab her hand and kiss her palm before giving her a reassuring smile and Amelia also smiled. Then they walk out of the palace with their connected hands, ignoring the noises from the villagers.
