Diana
She was certain of where she needed to go to live, but it was outside the palace. Diana looked to be heading in the direction of her room as she passed her on the way out.
Ella corrected herself, “Greetings, My…. Diana,” remembering that the Queen had instructed her to refer to her by name.
“Ella. Are you leaving? “Diana enquired while smiling warmly.
“Um .. Yes. Just a moment. Ella said,
“I need to collect some tea leaves for the King. “The two women were facing each other as Diana approached.
“I see. Where do you acquire your energy? “Diana enquired.
“Outside of the castle, yet not too far away.” Ella answered.
“Okay, may I accompany you? I could arrange for a guard to accompany us. ”
“Absolutely, My Queen. “She said, “I’d really love it,” and the two women strolled down the corridor while giggling.
Diana instructed one of the guards she had seen about to ride them out of the palace as soon as they reached the horse stables and carriage park.
Ella just stood and laughed, reflecting that if she had been in Diana’s position, she would not have been able to request such a thing. She just couldn’t see herself directing others.
The driver sat in front to steer the horse as they both entered the carriage. They quickly departed the royal gates on horses.
As the carriage rolled out of the gates, Queen Olivia stood in front of the window of her chamber. “What do you suppose their destination is? “Leena was standing behind her when she asked. “My Queen, I have no idea. Would you like me to investigate? “Leena responded with enthusiasm.
She always wanted to do right by her Queen.
“Stop bothering. It is not worth my time to find out where she is, ” Olivia said.
When the carriage stopped moving where they wanted it to at that moment, Ella and Diana got out.
Diana followed Ella to the plant and remarked, “I had come earlier to your room to summon you for breakfast; but you weren’t in.”
It was in a wooded location, and to their left was a shattered cliff. Trees with few branches were present, but they gave the area a lovely, airy appearance.
“Yes. Ella said, “I was with the King, I guess. The “King”? Diana mocked.
“Recently, the King appears to be appreciating your presence. ”
“It isn’t what you believe. It’s really a lengthy tale, I guess. ”
In front of the plant, Ella knelt down and began removing some of the leaves. Diana crossed her hands across her chest and said, “You just need to be very careful around the King, Ella.”
“The King can be very very dangerous when he’s hurt, so you should try never to upset him or get on his bad side.”
She made a slight turn to face Diana and appeared to be about to speak when something pointy pierced her skin just beside her stomach.
The moment the leaves shakily slipped from her hands and fell to the ground, her eyes widened in shock. Her gaze lingered over the area that was hurting, slowly moving there. An arrow was used. She was wounded!
“Ella!!” Diana’s back smacked the ground and she shouted in terror.
“Guard!”
The soldier from the carriage had already started to rush.
“Please! She must go home with us! Hurry!”
When the guard came back and said she may enter, Olivia went inside after waiting for him to tell the King she was coming to meet him.
As Olivia entered the room, King Spenser could be seen at his normal table writing and, most likely, responding to messages. He didn’t even raise an eyebrow to see Olivia. She stepped in front of him and greeted him with a bow. “Olivia, how are you doing?”.
“I think I’m okay,” She approached him to try to get a better look at what he was doing.
He abruptly responded, “You wanted to see me. I’m only a bit. ”
“Please don’t say you’re busy and that you want me to go, I beg you. “When Olivia quietly interjected, Spenser put down his pen.
She sighed and moved to stand behind him, saying, “I’ve missed your compassion. I hardly never think about my marriage at times. ”
“Olivia, it’s not my fault. What are your plans for me? ” His shoulders were the first place Olivia touched him as she began to gently massage him.
“My King, I know you’re busy, but that doesn’t mean you should abandon your first bride, your first choice,” She was softly stroking his shoulders with her hands.
“Olivia…” It shouldn’t harm to take a stroll later on in the evening I’m a very busy guy. ”
” How do you think I’m going to fit in a walk? ” Olivia became silent. Then she went on.
“My King, I simply missed you. We are much missed. “Suddenly, a desperate-sounding knock on the door was heard.
“Who is it? “Spenser questioned while glancing towards the door.
Olivia made a remark along such lines. Who has the audacity to ruin this moment?
A soldier barged in as the door burst open. Ella and Diana had been ridden by the security guy to get the herbs.
Dear King! Queen Ella has not awaken after being shot. He said, “She’s losing her breath,”
Spenser sprang to his feet right away, disregarding the fact that he roughly pulled Olivia’s hands off his back.
” Why did this occur? “He questioned the guard, his firm demeanor clearly coming through.
“She accompanied Princess Diana. They requested me to drive them outside the castle to a location where they could gather some leaves. The Queen was shot by an arrow that appeared out of nowhere. “He clarified.
Spenser found it hard to believe. The rage was visible in his eyes despite his seeming coolness. “Where’s she at? Take me to her. ”
Without barely giving her a look, the King exited the chamber as Olivia stood and watched.
Was Ella shot? By whom, she questioned. She also walked out of the room quickly.
The physician was already in Ella’s chamber and attending to her when King Spenser arrived. He had followed the guard who had sent him there. Alongside him, helping him, was his son, and Queen Diana was also there.
When he saw Ella’s face become so white and colorless and the small veins appearing on her neck, his eyes became heavy.
She still had the arrow lodged in her.
