Authoress POV
A knock came on king Aiden’s door.
“Here I come to the king’s room”Avalon smiled. And knock on the door. She would have just used her power to get inside but doesn’t wanna see the wrath of her brother.
Dylan came to open the door.
“Good morning sister”Queen Dylan greeted.
“I am not your sister, so don’t try to be nice. Be careful around me and my brother. I love him alot”Princess Avalon said with an eye roll and entered the room.
“Brother, I am so happy for you. Today is your day. You will be so much happy getting married to the love of your life. Right “Princess Avalon smiles glaring at the cup on the table.
She realizes he has drank from the cup she exchange with the Queen Dylan drink.
Queens and Princess aren’t allowed in the kitchen but queen Dylan refused the rule.
And make it clear to everyone that no one makes the king morning tea except her, and the law has been the same for five years now.
“Perfect plan I was able to mix the drugs. Yep, “She thought to herself smiling.
“What do you mean by the love of my life? You know no one is after my heart except Queen Dylan, I’m only doing this because of the prophecy which you know very well”The king said.
Princess Avalon fumes.
“Why would he say such a thing, he didn’t really like Dylan and was forced to marry her by our father the late king, and our step mum. Moreover I don’t like her. See her witch face” Princess Avalon thought.
“You are blocking your thought for me again, how powerful you’ve become, “The king said smiling.
“Why do you want to know all my thought, mind yours” She gave an eyeroll.
“My brother, I can’t wait to see you have an heir. I know you aren’t happy because you don’t have an heir to take after your throne”Princess Avalon said smiling.
Queen Dylan was so sad and rushed out of there.
“What’s your problem Avalon, remember you are a Lady too. Put yourself in her shoes” The king shouted angrily, and try to run after the Queen.
“I know you will want to follow her. Aren’t you tired of wasting your strength and sperm on that infertile lady?
You will get nothing. I hate her more for the fact that you really care about her so much.
What’s your problem,? I think she deserves an award to win you over to herself, but you should know now that you are the husband of two ladies.
Better open yours eyes if it has been blinded by love. I pitied you the most” Princess Avalon said as king Aiden stood by the door.
Princess Avalon leaves the room angrily. King Aiden was so disheartened.
Everything just keeps changing, l he’s a one man woman Never planned to have a second wife not even when his wife is alive sound and healthy.

Twinkle POV
They will be very sorry for him because he will have no other option than to hate me more with lthe way I am going to deal with him.
What did he think of himself? That I will be moved by the wealth in here.
I am less concerned, all I need is to see my mother. He needed to show me where he hid my mother.
How could he be so heartless to have hidden my mum from me? I wish I could see how she’s doing.
Mum you are going to be okay right? Tears drop down my cheeks. My mum is the only one I have.
The only friend I knew, I was told my dad die when she was pregnant with me..
She didn’t bother to marry another man just to give me the best. But I dropped out of school when I was in high school because things were really difficult.
I always involved myself in different kinds of jobs just to take care of myself and my mum because of her state of health.
I wanted to live all my life for her but a year ago she just became ill from a sickness we are aware. And I have tried my best to give her the best treatment with all my savings but things aren’t working.
I know I am troublesome that’s just me..
My mum always wanted me to be happy, she will always said to me.
“Twinkle my sweetheart do you know my happiness lies In yours. If you are happy and smiling always then I will be happy and will get better” Those are her words.
Even though I am always down because of her health, I always manage to make myself happy bbecause of her words. I never knew my mum won’t be around me.
Everything fall apart, I wished I had a shoulder to rest on..
I have to get married without her, I have to do this for my mum. Is that right? I cried sitting in front of the mirror. My eyes have really swollen.
A knock came on the door.
“Who’s that? you can come in” I asked and wiped the tears.
The door was opened and I turned to see the Princess. He makes sure he introduced me to everybody immediately we got here..
“Good morning my Queen, hope you had a sound sleep?”She asked with a smile. I must compliment that’s smiling do really looks good on her.
“Good morning, what can I do for you?”I asked not in mood for chit chatting.
“Mine first, answer my questions?”She said coming closer to the mirror.
“Fine, since you are waiting for me to reply you first then you’ve lossed it..
Can I please be alone for a while? I need some privacy”I replied coldly.
“Well?. I can tell you aren’t okay at all. Because your face is swollen. I think I should lighten your mood” She said and sit on the bed..
“I want to be alone, so you can use the exit”I ordered, but she refused to leave.. so stubborn just like her brother. Seem like stubbornness rules in the lineage..
She chuckled glaring at me..
“Today is your day, your wedding day precisely.
Do you know how many people want to get married to the king? You are so lucky that you are going to become a queen. I think you should be happy because this is an opportunity that comes one in a lifestyle” She uttered and this got me miffed.
“Do you think” I couldn’t complete my statement when she interrupted me.
” If I must say, you are so beautiful. Please lemme dress you for the event”She said and come to sit on a chair beside me.
“Do you think it’s everyone that’s happy about been a king or a queen? Most people might be but I hate it with passion?
King is the most heartless creature on earth. They are just unbelievable” I poured out my pain.
“Maybe you are wrong and that may be perception towards them. Most king are very nice and kind-hearted.
Maybe you’ve only come across the bad ones but not like my brother. He’s nice, caring, loving, judge without taking one side and can lay his life for his people.
He’s the kind of man that will never treat any lady with pain. So I think you misunderstood him.
Don’t worry within some time you will understand why he’s doing all this. Maybe you will have a second thought “She said more like praises.
“He’s the opposite. Can I ask a favor” I asked, and she nodded a yes in reply.
” Please can the celebration be held tomorrow and please beg your nice brother to lemme see my mother.
He might listen to you “I pleaded holding her hand.
“I wish you understand the reason for his actions.
I will go and bring your dress now. You should learn how to dress like a queen” She stood up and vanished.
Why do they like to disappear when they can walk with their legs?
I am missing my mum so badly. A knock came on.. could it be her? How fast.
“Come in” I answered.
Then I saw two girls walking inside, from their dressing it obvious they are maids in the palace.
Then I saw someone in a black long gown walking in. I looked her from toe to her face, that’s Aiden wife. She walked towards me.. She moved away and walked to the sofa, she sit comfortably like a queen she’s not even without my permission. Anyways it’s her husband house I will be staying here just for sometimes.
“Hello, Queen Twinkle my second wife. I am here to get you ready for the celebration. Do you mind?”She asked in an intimidating aura.
She has better keep her cold attitude to herself. This people are really getting on my nerves, can’t they leave me alone.
“Why do you choose to do that when you know I am your rival? I married your husband and yet you wanna dress me up.
Are you up to something, I guessed you must be planning against me?”I asked.
“As long as you are a wife in this house I will take responsibility. And I think you should know I am in charge, if you need anything from the king then come to me first ” She said and ordered her maid to bring in the cloth.
I smiled just like a grimace and shook my head.
“Because you are what? and why did I even feel like I hate you already?”I asked angrily.
It seems she doesn’t know who she’s dealing with.
“Because I am the king’s first wife, I have all right over him”She yelled, and stood up angrily.
“That’s in your bedroom lady. Apart from bragging around like a useless chick, given orders without doing anything. Unable to conceive, What’s next can you brag about!”
