Chapter 28
“Wait!, Seriously Zinnia you really helped Prussiate guards take pearl away?, How could you do that?, What if you where caught in the act or what if they find out it’s you!?” Fox yelled as Zinnia rolled her eyes.
“That would only happen if you tell them, if not that… No one can know” Zinnia signed and turned to see if anyone was coming.
She had stopped by to talk to agent fox about the next plan after the king had sent them all out.
“Look fox, I will have to go into my room now before we get caught together but make sure to tell me about the king’s plans if he tells you about them” Zinnia said and banged her door close.
Agent fox was so pissed with Zinnia, that wasn’t part of his plans at all but Zinnia is so impatient to wait for him to strike, Now he has to think of a new plan to get Zinnia’s wish done faster and better.
He helps Zinnia a lot with her plans in other to get the side fvcks he gets after losing Zinnia to the king, and he knows that he might also lose her to the king of Prussiate.
He signed and entered back into the king’s chamber to see King Archer staring into space obviously in deep thoughts that he didn’t notice when his personal adviser came in.
Was King archer really caring for a woman?, That is unlike him and he doesn’t like the new him, he felt like a softy and he felt like Pearl had noticed his love for her because she now acts kind of stubborn to him instead of the regular fright.
“Fox tell me what to do!, I’m losing my Mable’s!” King Archer muttered as his eyes drifted to fox, he wasn’t really drowned on his thoughts as Fox thought.
Fox cleared his throat and walked towards the king’s throne as he stood by the side, he didn’t know the advice to give because he doesn’t have a good one.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
“Well my King, I would suggest you sit still and calm your mind first, you can’t find the queen when your mind isn’t relaxed” Fox said hoping it helps, the king exhaled heavily and stood from his throne as he swiftly turned to Fox.
“Then I will need you to leave my chamber immediately” King archer said as Fox bowed and quickly left happy that he escaped an awkward moment.
King Archer’s mind drifted to Pearl’s friends, what will be there reaction if they hear about the absence of their friend, they will surely see the castle as unsafe for their friend.
“What do you mean by Queen Pearl is no where to be found!?, We left her room few hours ago to come freshen up and now we hear the news that she’s lost!?” Seren blasted angrily as she hit her forehead.
Sage stood with her head bowed in tears, she felt so guilty, she was so ashamed that she couldn’t guide her mistress, maybe if she had waited for the guard to come back this wouldn’t have happened.
“Seren calm down, you can’t blame her she is a young lady like us too and pearl is matured enough to guard herself” Rosamund said softly to the fury looking Seren that looked like she would burst soon, she turned to sage who was already drowning in her own tears.
“Common!, You can’t be crying! That’s not brave sage, we should be strong in other to get your mistress back… Who is the suspect and what is the King planning to do?” Rosamund asked as sage used her gown to wipe her nose and she sniffled.
“There is no suspect yet, and I can’t tell what the king’s plans are because he didn’t really give a good response, he was very angry and sent us all out” Seren signed on hearing that.
“The king definitely has a plan” Seren said nodding her head slowly.

“Who is the queen you said helped you people?” King Theo asked as the guards turned staring at each other for who to reply the king.
“It’s the head Queen my King, she seem not to like queen pearl” The head guard said as King Archer scoffed.
Enemy in the same castle with them?, That doesn’t sound nice who knows how pearl has offended her.
He wanted to have the queen that helped his guards come to Prussiate so that he can ask her questions about why she betrayed her husband.
“You can all leave now, inform the disciplinarian to give Pearl the largest work he can give her” he said to the head guard who bowed and left.
The drum of war is beating so fast and loud, Theo knew that there is no way king archer would want his wife to stay in Prussiate for long expecially not with him.
He could smell war and blood, his fight with the king of Guham was close, he would have to kill archer to avenge the death of his father and he also needs Guham kingdom as it is one of the most powerful kingdoms, he wanted more power and a full empire, it’s either he dies or his opponent die but it seemed like Archer is the one to die as he would have to come to his kingdom because of his wife.
He had used pearl as a bite to capture archer.
I was taken to a room where I saw many maids changing, I could see that they are new recruited maids. They didn’t seem happy being here.
But I came here to change into the slave uniform, I am here to be a slave!, This is how I ended up? Worse than I thought!, Will King Archer really come for me ?
“From now henceforth you are not royalty, you’re our slave!” The dark skinned maid said as she cut my bracelet, that was my wedding necklace!, How could she do that because she is in power now!?.
I felt hot tears roll down my cheeks as I stared at my broken bracelet, it was very expensive and special to me!, Low life maids won’t understand that.
The other maid came out with a big green gown, like seriously this is really becoming me?, I am really becoming a maid?.
“This should be okay on her” she said and threw the dress to me “put that on quickly and here” the red haired maid said coldly as I pulled off my night dress.
I had worn a night dress from Guham to Prussiate!, And seeing this maids hair reminded me that I haven’t washed the dye on my hair, and me being a slave means that my hair would damage a lot.
I pulled into the slave uniform which was comfortable as it didn’t tighten my belly, I stared at it with so much distaste as it seemed like a curse.
“Where is the Queen of Guham?” A man’s stern voice came, he didn’t even mind that most maids were naked, it looked normal to him… He looks as deadly as King Theo.
The two maids pushed me roughly to him as everyone turned to me with surprise, anyone in their shoes would definitely be surprised to see a queen amongst them anyways.
I hit my head hard on his nose by the force of the push as everyone in the room gasped in shock, I already know that I’m a dead meat by the way he glared at me with his bleeding nose, I broke his nose.
“I’m… I’m…sor” I was about saying the word as a thunderous slap landed on my cheeks, at some point I felt like I lost my stable as another slap landed on my right cheeks as I fell to the floor with pains, I could taste blood in my mouth and I could feel that my lips tore.
“How dare you hit me!?, Infact I will double your work, the king asked that I give you a bigger potion of work but I will give you the hardest maybe after doing the work you will have a miscarriage!!” He snaired in fury, I still lay on floor weak from the slap.
He pulled me up with all force as he dragged me with him, he was manhandling me and I wonder if he has a human heart in him.
I can’t continue with this, I can’t continue staying here if not I will definitely lose my baby, archer really need to come take me away from here.
But at the same time I would be risking his life too because I am sure that they are using me as a bite the lure him here, I am so scared that I might lose the father of my baby soon, king theo is strong and dangerous and I fear if he would be able to fight to save himself and his kingdom.
“This is your own potion of work!” He said as he pushed me to the muddy ground “plant all the Lilies in this pot and you have only two hours to finish it and if you don’t finish, you will have to get another work” he ordered and left me on the ground.
I stared at the Lilies in the pot with surprise as to how possible I would do that even in ten hours alone!, That’s not possible at all, coupled to the fact that I have never planted Lily flower before and do not have any idea of how to go about it.
Tears streamed down my cheeks on the thought of getting more works if I don’t complete this one.
And definitely I am getting more works I can’t escape it because I can’t even plant Lilies.
I looked down at my baby bump as I caressed it softly as more hot tears rolled down my cheeks.
“We will both survive this, we are both bold and strong”
