"You filthy whore!" My stepmother raised her hand ready to slap me.
I ready myself to take the blow. But I was shocked to see what had happened next. I blocked my stepmother's hand with my own hand.
She looked at me in surprise. I can't blame her, I am also surprised myself. My reflexes just kicked in.
"What is the meaning of this?" The queen yelled. "Let go of me!"
I didn't realize that I still had my grip on her wrist. She was pulling her hand so I quickly let her go.
"Ahhh!" The queen went out of balance and fell on the ground.
"Mother!" My stepsisters said in unison. They kneeled down to help their mother.
"You ungrateful wench!" My elder stepsister Veronica yelled. "How could you do that to queen mother?!"
"But she said to let her go." I said innocently.
"Well that was what I heard as well." Leon backed me up. His face had a big smile.
"How dare you laugh at the queen?!" Elizabeth yelled. "Guards, seize him!"
