We make our way through as people slowly parted for us with stares of curiousity. I can even hear their whispers, "that's her. The red Demon Queen." Someone whispers. "Wow, no one said she was beautiful!." Another person whispers. Suddenly someone steps out the crowd, their expression was dark with anger. "Why is this bitch here?" The woman wore an ugly pink dress that didn't go well with the high yellow french bun on her head. I really didn't appreciate the look she was giving e, as if I was beneathe her. "Why am I here, you ask? Perhaps you should ask the Queen of Guman that." I say dryly. The woman crosses her arms as two others saunter up beside her, "to invite such trash to her kingdom. It's true what they say about the Queen not being up to social status these days." The woman turns her face up in disgust.
She actually had the audacity to speak about the Queen like this while she wasn't even that far away. I put on a smile, though if any one could read behind it. They would notice the icy glare behind my exspression, meaning the two girls who stepped back after realizing they may be picking the wrong team. "Oh, if I'm correct wouldn't it be you who was not up to social status?" I ask sweeping my gaze over her briefly. "Let's start with your dress, shall we? Did you put that on yourself? Aren't you embarrassed?" I ask. It was definitely a stab at her pride, after all no noble really dresses themselves. The woman looked pissed, she glances over at King Castian her cheeks turning bright pink, her gaze then fell back on me.
"You think that you're so great getting invited here. So what? Even if you become someon good, in this society you'll alwasy be known as the Red Demon Queen." She says. I narrow my gaze at her, but I knew her comment was right. Even so, not even this truth could take me down, 'wow, did you really think you won?" I ask as she was being praised for her little comment. I already knew that my arriving here would end out like this. Unwelcomed for all my past transgressings, nothing is settled just because I wish it so. "Didn't I? A Queen with a kingdom but no people to serve her or loyally scream your name. Did you think it'd be that easy to get acknowledged?" She asked. She comes closer the other girls beside her, it seems they were back in the game.
I kept myself in check, they were probably waiting for me to make one single mistake. "I do not care for what other nobels think of me, just the people who would wish to follow me. Which is why I will not let this clown here.." she makes an appalled expression, "rile me up. Like the Queen that I am, I will walk away from this scene. But before that, I shall teach you the lesson of disrespecting a higher nobel than you." I say. I gently remove one of my gloves from my hand and drew my hand it back. King Castian grabs it and shakes his head, "not with your hand, you may leave a mark on your delicate skin." He says. "Fine." I say as I took the white glove and as swiftly as I could slapped her across her face. The woman didn't even have time to grab her check from the impact of my hand as her ass landed on the ground hard. "You...you slapped me!" She cries hand to her now extremely pink cheeks.
"Be glad I just slapped you. You not only disrepected me, a Queen. But you also disrespected your own Queen. If anything you should be punished even more severely for running that big mout of yours. I say about fifty of these slapps would have not been enough for you, right Your highness?" I ask turning my attention to Guman's Queen who have been watching this entire time. Looking at her expression break, I could tell that she was not the type to entertain things like social events, but I gotta hand it to her for recollecting herself so quickly. "I agree, please have this woman stripped of her title as Countess to Baroness. Also throw her from my palace for disrespecting The Royal Queens." She says to a guard nearby. "Yes Your Majesty." The guard quickly does as told.
"Everyone disparse!" King Castian barks. The people who surrounded them was gone extremely quickly. "I'm Queen Haiza Guman of Guman Kingdom, it's a pleasure to finally meet you Queen Ranessa." She says. "A pleasure? I wasn't invited here to be made a joke of?" I ask with a raised brow. She immediately pancs and shakes her head, "NO! It's a misunderstanding. Um...would you like meet in the sitting room with me and have a cup of tea?" She asks. I stare at her thoughtfully and then nod, Castian froens as he again grabs my hand. King Guman places a hand on his shoulder, "now, now. Let the women go, how about we have a man to man talk, eh?" He ask pulling him towards the throne.
Queen Haiza and I made our way out the throne room to the main entrance, then we went down a hall to a room decorated in a pretty emeral green design. "Please have a seat. I would like to explain myself." She says as I sat in a sofa across from her. A servant enters and serves us tea, once she left Queen Haiza began to speak. "Wow, rumors are usually made up but I finally get to meet you. Can I just say that I'm quite honored?" She asks her face turning a nice red color. Her eyes were glazed with awe as she stares at me, " honored? By me? But why?" I ask feeling a bit confused. Queen Haiza sits her cup down, "actually I've been to your forbidden kingdom before, when I was twelve. At that time there was a little girl who was just ten years old on the throne. I remeber thinking to myself. Oh wow! A Queen so youn and yet you pulled it off like it was second nature. I wanted to be just like that, oozing with confidence. That trip to the kingdom was a memory I couldn't forget. Since then I grew up with you in mind, but of course I'm really shy that it's hard to keep wearing this mask of a Queen." She says.
Her story wasn't one I expected. I don't remember alot of the social events thrown but it was probably one where I was just becoming Queen. Again it was a past I rather leave behind. To think there would be someone from then who had actually looked up to me, and since I was so dedicated to myself and destroyinh the hero I never even knew it even those times. This one time I choose to retire as an evil villianess and suddenly I meet Queen Haiza, "this was my chance to finally become friends with you." She says with a shy smile. I felt something prickle in my heart, holy crap I think I just made my first friend! I smile, "I would like that." I say.
