The Queen and the King's nephew were outside at the front of the palace and waiting for the armies. The Queen was wearing a long beautiful gown that was armless and little of her breasts showing on top of the cloth. She was standing beside the King's nephew and which his name was Hyun-Ok.
The armies entered the palace with horses and stopped as they got to the front of the Queen; the army's leader was there as well and looking at them. They pushed Thaniya's mother down from the horse, she sat down on the floor with her hands tied with rope and looking at the Queen.
"We have brought her back my Queen" One of the armies said with low voice. The Queen smiled and going inside the King's living room.
"It's my brother that allowed you to escape, you that he should have killed, now ordered them to go and locked you in a cell which gave you an opportunity to escape. See now you have been arrested back" Hyun-Ok said with loud voice.
Hyun-Ok was tall and normal in stature, had short brown hair and he resembles the King a little. He and his Uncle's behaviours were different from each other, he was very proud, arrogant and wicked. He knows about everything that Thaniya's mother was the King's mistress but he always supported the Queen and there were many secret between them.
The door opened for the Queen and she entered into the living room with her cloth rolling with her on the floor and going to where the King was. The King was at the window side, looking at Thaniya's mother outside and with bad mood. At this point he was powerless, there was nothing he could do to it.
The Queen walked closed to him and standing beside him at the window side, looking at Thaniya's mother together. Thaniya's mother too saw them at the window and looking at them. She extended her hearing so that she could able to hear what they were saying inside and she closed eye.
"Your mistress had been caught that you planned and deceived many of us so that we won't know anything and made her escaped. But now, that is not her over there" the Queen said with wicked heart and looking at Thaniya's mother outside.
"You choosed a common servant on me and wanted to turn that thing to your mistress, and the thing you also know that it's not allowed in this kingdom. Well! You fooled us that she attempted to kill you and that is what everybody knows for now, so do you want that to still hold and allowed us to kill her now or you want to announce to everyone that she is your mistress and bury all the embarrassments and disgraces alone" The King looked at the Queen.
"Which one do you want? Will you give an order and they should kill her with that unless thing in her stomach or you want to safe her and loss the throne, and bury the embarrassments. Answer me now!" She shouted at him.
The King was in a big dilemma and didn't know what to say just looking at Thaniya's mother on the floor. She too was closing her eye and waiting for his response.
"This is not the promise you made to me! You always used to tell me that you love me and you will never cheat on me, now it's mistress you have. And I can see that you love her if not you will have known what to do on this" The Queen said with loud voice.
"I gave birth to a male child, I gave birth to a female child. Is it because none of them came with the royal Prince sign that is why you went ahead and have a mistress. I remembered very well that you always used to say that you won't stop loving me no matter what, so why don't you?" Looked at him but the King didn't take his eyes away from the window just busy looking at Thaniya's mother.
"If we don't have the royal Prince, it's a thing you can change the law on ground as the king that anybody can be crown so not need to be worry about any royal sign Prince or princess to be born. But, you didn't do that, went ahead to have a mistress and she is even just an ordinary servant" She changed her looks and smiling with sadness.
"Do you want her killed or you want to leave the throne and bury all the embarrassments and disgraces that will surrounded it?" She asked with loud voice.
"Allow me to just go, It's a year that remaine for me on this earth already. Don't worry about your children, they will be fine and see you soon" Thaniya's mother said to the King from where she was but the King didn't know that she was the one, just hearing it in his ears and from far distance.
"Answer me now! I am asking you a question you this terror and betrayer!" Said with anger and sadness showed all over her.
"Go and do your wish" He said with low voice, turned back and leaving the living room.
The Queen looked at him going to his bedroom, she held the two edges of her cloth and going outside. The guards opened the door for her and she got down to the compound.
"What did he say?" Hyun-Ok asked as she got down from the staircase, he had been standing at the staircases since waiting for the feedback.
"He said I should go and do my wish, and my wish is that I want her dead and that child in her womb" Hyun-Ok looked at her.
"No problem then since that it's brother that said that. Order the armies and let's them kill her" He said without even have any human feelings at all. The Queen walked to where the armies were.
"Put her on the wood and burn her alive" She ordered the army's leader and standing there. Thaniya's mother didn't even beg or cry because she had expected it to happen before.
The armies carried her and put her on the woods that they gathered. One of the armies light the holding fire stick, gave it to the Queen with the fire on it and he stepped back.
"That is what you deserved, so goodbye!" She threw the fire under the firewoods gathered and the woods started burning heavily like air was blowing it. The Queen and Hyun-Ok were standing beside each other and staring it.
×××××××××
Thaniya's mother got to Heaven and Earth's gate with the same cloth on her body and wanted to return back there. All the surrounding of the Heaven and Earth were so white, it was only the front of the gate to enter in there that was blue black.
"You too should have known that you can't enter with that child in your womb" The King of heaven and Earth said loudly as she wanted to enter.
"Your body that you suppose to go back in has been burnt but still you have to go back to Earth and give birth to her. So your years have increased, if you go back now, you will watch the child still she grows up and capable enough to start working as Mantan.
After she has started protecting her brother and knows all she has to know, few months after that you should return back" The voice disappeared.
'So I know that I have been invisible, noone can see me again that is why I came to this jungle and born you there. No human can just come here anyhow, so nobody will know anything and that is the reason why you are here and your brother is there"
"Hmm! But the King is callous, how could he allow his Queen to kill you" Thaniya said with anger showed all over her.
"I don't want him to say other hand anyways because if he saved me it's a big embarrassment for him and his entire family. Same thing had happened to some kings too which they later committed suicides because of the disgrace. And what used to push them is that Heaven crowned Prince or princess doesn't really use to come from the Queen, it's always use to come from the mistresses or a wife to a siblings of the King that is on the throne"
"Hmm! I understand now" Thaniya said.
"So as I got back on earth, it's my friend that i firstly showed up to before coming to this jungle that she should tell the woman to find all the possible ways that my son lives in the palace. When he has grown up, he should start living in the palace and the woman did.
So you will search for him among the armies or guards or servants or prisoners and start protecting him; that is your first task"
"Don't you know him? You will know him now, so describe how he is for me and I will start watching over him, instead of searching for him around"
"That is how the Heaven and Earth's King commands you and that is your first task" Thaniya just shook her head as she was eating and didn't utter a word.
"You have to be careful when you get there and don't trust anybody at all. Very soon you will leave this place so your task starts as well"
"Okay! I heard you Mom" The packed the plates and left the place that she was sitting.
"Where is that your friend? What happened to her?" She asked and cleaning the plates with tissue paper, and that was how they washed their plates.
"She died a year after that and after asking for my forgiveness. But she will still serve her punishment at Heaven and Earth. She is the prison still now and all her powers had been taking away from her. So, now she is powerless as well"
"Oh! She deserved it. So for how long will she be in the prison? How many years?"
"With order from the King, it's life imprisonment and we Mantanias are immortals, so I don't know"
"Oh! Feel sorry for her" Thaniya was a good hearted someone and had forgiving heart just like her mother. From the looks and characters, Thaniya really resembled her mother.
