A ROYAL TALE OF JEALOUSY - CHAPTER 8&9
★[MAY YOU LIVE LONG MY KING]★
“Your majesty”Veal said and enter the palace, shocking the h*ll out of queen Zuriel
She stood up from the chair uncomfortably
“I’m sorry for the lateness”He smiled and join the princes
“We can’t continue this, I need to do something important”Queen Zuriel said impatiently and made to leave
“Once you leave this palace, the process will continue without you”Priest Nunu spoke
“Priest Nunu! Are you aware that I’m the first queen of King Thea?”She asked angrily
“Are you aware that I appoint Thea as the king?”Priest Nunu fired back
With anger and sadness, Queen Zuriel walk back to her seat
Nunu walk from one prince to the other, she press a white substance on their head and cast some spell on them
She move away from them and started casting spell again
Everywhere suddenly went dark, it is obvious the gods are now ready to choose the king
The queens watch in anxiety same as the princes except Gareth who is so confident the gods will choose him
They all saw the light shining at the prince at the left side, everyone eyes widened when they saw Veal handsome face
After that, light shine in the palace again
Hera look so confused, her heart is beating repeatedly. Her face is so pale, she don’t want to believe that the face she saw is Veal but that is reality
Veal himself is perplexed though, it is rare for him to get surprised but somehow this miracle got him astonished
“I think there is a mistake”He spoken but priest Nunu ignored him, she understand the fact that he is sacred and confused
“The gods have chosen prince Veal as the next king of Sukrish Kingdom”Priest Nunu announced
“That is impossible”Queen Zuriel snapped and stood up from her seat
“I think you’ve made a mistake! All the king that have been ruling in Sukrish Kingdom are either first prince or second prince so, what happened…how can you leave the first, second, third and fourth prince to choose the fifth one?”Queen Zuriel yelled
“Queen Zuriel keep quiet”Priest Nunu snapped
“No I won’t, explain how you choose…”
“I didn’t choose Veal! The gods did!”She snapped with widened red eyes
She is obviously angry and she can do loco things right now
“But….”
“All the kings that have been rulling in Sukrish Kingdom are bad kings, king Thea is worst, that is why the gods decide to choose the next king!”She snapped
“If you refuse to accept things the way they are Zuriel, you will lose everything”She added and Queen Zuriel sit down in anger
Gareth fold his fist angrily before walking away, Isaac did the same then Lucas but Javier stood there with a crazy smile on his face
He face Veal and bow for him
“Congratulations”He smiled but Veal stared at him without saying a word
He eventually walk out of the palace with queen Maria
“Hera!! I know this is your doings, you become a wïtch because you want this foolish thing to be a king, you cast spell on Nunu….”
“I beg you to stop talking to my mother that way”Veal interfere when Hera couldn’t do anything than to watch queen Zuriel saying bad words to her
“Mother? I think you are missing something. Hera is not your biological mother”Queen Zuriel snapped
“Leave my palace”Veal said with a smirk
“Your what?”She raise her eyebrows
“I’m the new king”Veal whispered into her ear with a smirk
“Veal….”
“Zuriel respect yourself! He is the new king!”Priest Nunu snapped
Queen Zuriel walk out of the palace angrily while Queen Ebbe followed quietly
Ronea stared at Veal before walking to him
“You really did well by stealing my brother’s position”She said with a smile
“Thanks for the compliment”Veal replied with a smile

<QUEEN ZURIEL CHAMBER>
Gareth is busy pacing around room, his finger in his mouth bitting it with anger
“Gareth you will hurt yourself”Zuriel cautioned
“What will I gain if I don’t hurt myself? You promise me and even bragged that I’m going to be the king. I have been thinking of how to rule this Kingdom but all my plans go in vain when that stupid motherless child is chosen as the king. Do you expect me to be happy with that?”He yelled
“I tried all my possible best to get rid of him but it is not working, I even add poison in his dinner last night but he did not die”Zuriel explained
“You add poison to his supper?”He asked just to be sure of what he heard
“Yeah, last night”
“Mother!!!”Gareth screamed and she flinched
“You should have told me about your plans! You should have told me!”He snapped as tears gush down from his eyes
“Why?…”
“I pour his food away last night, I save that fool from death, I saved him!”He shouted and Zuriel quickly cover his mouth with her palm
“Once the guards or maids hear you. We are dead so, keep your voice low now!”She snapped
“So, what do you want me to do?”He sniffed
“Veal is going to become the king but what is the essence of the king without a heir?”Zuriel smirked
“I don’t understand”He protested
They both sit on the bed
“I will make the king impotent, once the king is impotent and the news get to the villagers, they will start losing interest in him coz he can’t provide a future king… He will get depressed and suicide will cross his mind. After that, you will become the king of Sukrish Kingdom”Zuriel explained
“I pray this doesn’t fail”Gareth roll his eyes
•••••
<,QUEEN EBBE CHAMBER>
Queen Ebbe sat on the wooden chair with her right leg on the left one. She keep a straight face as Lucas keep on ranting
“Who is the priest that told you I will become the king?”He suddenly asked
“Why are you asking?”She asked
“I’m asking because I want to ki|| her, she is a liar and a liar doesn’t fit to be a priest”He yelled
“Veal will be the king”Queen Ebbe started with a calm voice
“What? Mother!!!”He yelled
“But he will have a problem”Queen Ebbe completed
“Problem? How?”Lucas puzzled
••••
<PRINCE VEAL NEW CHAMBER>
The ritual that needed to be done when a new king is crowned is going on and Nunu is the one coordinating it
The news have been spread and the villagers are so happy to hear about it
Veal is currently in the pool having his bath, he is lost in thoughts. He still can’t believe he is the king how? Why? When? What!
His head is inside the water with different thoughts running in his head
“Your highness, lady Hera is here”One of the guards announced
Veal remove his head from the water, he wore his white robe before rushing to Hera who look so worried
“Veal”
“Mother”They called at the same time
“This is a hard task, people think it is a good news but we both know it is a bad news”Hera sniffed
“Mother you don’t need to cry”He cautioned
“Veal, I want you to promise me that you will be fine”
“I will be fine, no evil shall befall on me. The gods have a reason for choosing me so, they will protect me. It is their duty to protect me since they choose me”Veal explained
“The maids are here your highness”One of the guards announced
“Do you like that?”Veal asked with a wink
“What?”
“Your highness….gosh I love it”Veal laughed
Hera chuckled
••••
“Randadadadadadadada”Nunu continue chanting as she walk around a white lighted candles
“Priest Nunu”Someone called from behind and she turned only to find the last queen
“Your highness”She greeted
“You are welcome, priest Nunu what did you want from me? If it is money I will give it to you, if it is land I have it, infact if you want gold I will provide it for you but please don’t crown Veal as the king.. come to think of it, he is the last prince, he did not deserve to be the king”Queen Maria explained
“Queen Maria….I thought you are different from them but you just prove me wrong! I can’t accept your conditions coz the gods choose prince Veal”She snapped and continue chanting
Queen Maria walk out of the place and proceed to her chamber
•••••
<QUEEN MARIA CHAMBER>
“You look beautiful like this”Javier smiled and pack the maid hair in ponytail
“Thank you my prince”She bowed shyly
“You are welcome Eleanor”He smiled
“Javier!!!!”Queen Maria called angrily and he swiftly turn to her
“Mother”He smiled
“Your highness”Eleanor bowed
“Get out of my sight!”Maria yelled and the maid rush out
“Javier, can you explain what you’ve done?”She questioned
“She let her hair down and I help her to pack it in ponytail. I prefer it that way”He replied sharply
“Are you out of your sense? You should be thinking of how to become a king?”She snapped
Javier started laughing while Queen Maria glared at him
“Mother! You want me to be the king? That is not possible mother, I..don’t even want that position….all I want is to marry all the maids in this clan”He gushed happily
“Marry maids?”Maria eyes widened
“So, you are planning on marrying a maid and not a princess from a good village”She snapped
“All the princess that I have saw, they all look like monkey. I’m not even sure if those poor kings are the one that have s*x with their mother. Probably, monkey have…”Javier was cut off when Maria hit his arm with a cup
“Mother”He pouted
•••••
<MAIDS DORM>
The maids are currently on their mat sleeping coz it is late at night
Amelia is the only one awake, she stare at all of them searching for the face of her mother but she burst into tears when the memories of how her mother head was slice off
She stood up from her mat and quietly walk out of the dorm
She stare at the stars and moon
🤍I know you miss her very much🤍A soul communicated with her
“Look, I don’t know you and I don’t know when all this start…who are you?”Amelia snapped
🤍I’m your guidan 🤍
“Guidan? You are so funny, which type of guidan doesn’t show herself? You clam to be my guidan but you are not even guilding me”She snapped
🤍I become your guidan when your mother left you🤍
“Sound uninteresting”She roll her eyes
“Where are you?…”
🤍Here I am.🤍A beautiful barbie appeared at her front and she almost run away
“You have a mission in this clan”The barbie spoke
“Yes I know, the mission is to ki|| all the king children and ki|| his wives”She replied meanly
She suddenly get courage to talk to the barbie
“No,that is not the mission Amelia, you will know the mission when time comes”Replied Barbie
“Call me whenever you want to talk to me… I’m Annie”She added and disappeared
“Annie”Amelia smiled when she left

Everyone is present, even the villagers are present and it is no other reason than because Veal will be crowned as the king today
Eduardo stand on a tree behind the chair Veal is going to sit on, Queen Zuriel smile at her and she nod her head happily
Veal came out of his chamber with ten guards behind and at his front
He sat on the chair and Nunu walk forward, she cast some spell on his head then she collect the crown from the maids
“Who among the queen do you prefer to wear this crown for you?”Priest Nunu asked with a smile
Veal release a short laughter which make everyone wonder what he is going to say
“My late mother is the right person to do this but since she she late, lady Hera should help me with that”He smiled
👥Yay!!!
👥He choose the right person
Queen Zuriel fold her fist angrily as she watch Hera collecting the crown from Nunu and place it on Veal head
👥Yay!!!!
“Prince Veal is now the king of Sukrish Kingdom. Let’s honour our new king”Priest Nunu ordered
“Can’t believe I am going to do this”Gareth scoffed and fall on his knees, same with all the people there
