Chereads / My girlfriend's a mortal / Chapter 62 - Chapter 9

Chapter 62 - Chapter 9

The ceremony ended. Anastasia got the honors of naming them. She named one of them Stellamaris, and the other little shit was Zenobia. Fuck the same initial stereotype, she said.

Some people congratulated her on being the heir and crown princess while the others were begging for forgiveness. They have spread the worst rumors on their future empress that their heads would fly off their shoulders if it was someone else.

She forgave them with a warning: try to do something shady under my nose, and you'd wish you weren't born. They agreed in fear and left.

Anastasia was pretty chill on how people judged her and threw curse words at her but she saw someone being shady. Wam-bam, you're roasted. No literally, roasted on a grill.

Even if people wished well on her, that didn't mean she had accepted the title of the crown princess. She and her dad were going to have a long, wonderful talk with her.

------------------------

Anastasia closed the door behind her. "Why didn't you tell me you were going to do that?"

"You're ready to rule on your own."

"I-I-I just got here and regained my position as a good ruler in my assigned kingdom and suddenly you drop another bomb on me?! You could've just said I'm your fake niece and left the crown princess title away!"

Keyne sighed. "Look I know you came back here, you just regained your good image and gained trust from the witch kingdom, I feel you're ready."

Anastasia got even angrier at his lame excuse. "So since I gained my good image, you dump your responsibilities on me?!"

"I'm not dumping my responsibilities on you!"

"Well, it seems like you are doing it!"

"You are ready to be empress and you don't see it yourself!"

"Obviously, I don't have a mirror!" Ooooh! Burn! Keyne gritted his teeth. "Fine! I am dumping your responsibilities on you! Happy?!"

This fueled up her anger even more. She closed her eyes and clenched her fists. Then it hit her. It was time to talk about it.

"It was you, wasn't it?"

"What?"

She pointed her finger at him. "You were the one who banished Margret. Why did you do it?!"

"It's a personal matter, shut up!"

Anastasia smirked. Time to play with his buttons.

"Why she offended you or something?"

"I am your father, don't ask questions that I said not to!" Anastasia was getting scared by her father's anger but went on mocking him.

"Did you cheat on mom with her that's why you thr-" a loud, crisp slap sounded through the room. Keyne had slapped Anastasia hard. Her jaw stung, but she had to audacity to smile. Her father was huffing and puffing through his nose.

"I'll never cheat on my wife. She has already suffered too much in my hands and I promised to never let a single thing hurt her."

"Then why did you threaten my best friend to leave!?"

"Because I wanted to punish your brother!" that loud confession bought pin drop silence. She knew the truth from the start but he spilled it out to the world. She proved it to someone, her plan worked.

Cassandra burst through the door. "So it was you?! You're the reason my brother's girlfriend left?!"

"Yes, it was me! Your brother had to be punished because of his past reputation, your mother agreed to it!"

"You both are sick in the head! For punishing my brother, you banish his girlfriend! Weren't him getting into depression enough!"

"No, it wasn't!"

Cassandra's wolf threatened to come out, Anastasia's eyes crackled with lightning, and Keyne's griffin was about to set free but nobody cared. They were all mad.

Suddenly, Anastasia started laughing. She said between her laughs."I accept the title of the crown princess!" Keyne and Cassandra stared at her in confusion. "Why are laughing then"

She wiped her tears and chuckled. "That's the important part! Our father did a huge mistake proclaiming me as the crown princess! He forgot something even more important!"

"I forgot what?"

"That the crown title has more power than an emperor or empress and I can banish you and mom!"

Cassandra's eyes widened. Keyne snarled. "You wouldn't dare!"

"Oh, I will dare! But I'm not cruel as you and mom. You both will pack your bags after the twins will become five years old and the wedding. You'll tell your wife that "

Keyne wanted to talk back but now, he had proclaimed his daughter as crown princess. He couldn't take that back. Anastasia was right, he did a big mistake, and he didn't see this coming.

Being exiled, jailed, or killed was a normal thing after a royal got the crown title. It was just to become the monarch faster.

Her sister's decision baffled Cassandra, what she heard behind the door was already shocking. She never expected this either.

Anastasia declared once more. "Your banishment won't be cliche. One of you would leave first, then two years later I would banish the other for another two years. Think of it as a vacation."

Keyne was once again dumbfounded. "Wait what?"

"You heard me. When those two little shits turn two, either you or mom will leave for two years, then come back and the other would leave for two years. Then I would be coronated."

"Why are you doing this?"

"You heard me, I'm not as cruel as you and mom. I want both of my parents to be there when I get coronated. If you'll excuse me, I'll be in my room reading my book."
