"Mother!" Princess Eloise called her mother who was staring at the dark space.
"Mother!!!" She yelled more loudly because it seemed like her mother was lost in deep thoughts.
"Eloise?" Queen Sarah jerked from her thoughts.
"You scared me, Eloise," Sarah said holding her chest.
"You looked like you were out for some time," Eloise replied with a hiss. She knew exactly what her mother was thinking about.
Her queendom.
"The elders are on my neck Eloise, what do we do?" Sarah asked still staring into the dark space.
Eloise heaved deeply as she walked closer to her mother, she turned the spear in her hand upside down making the sharp silver edge sink into the sandy ground.
"Mother, we can not give them what they want," Eloise said.
"I think it is time for a change Eloise, for how long are we going to be ruled by feat?" Sarah asked
"Mother! You are beginning to act like those bunch of illiterate elders!" Eloise sighed at the end of her statement.
"No I am not but look at us, we can not do anything without fear of being caught, for how long would we continue to be like this?" Sarah asked in sadness.
"What are you suggesting mother? War?" Eloise asked.
"Should I remind you that prince Ezekiel can single-handedly wipe away our kind from the surface of this world, you know that he has been longing to do that," Eloise added.
Sarah was silent because she knew what her daughter said was the truth.
Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of them.
"You again!" Eloise stated.
The man smiled as he walked further toward them.
"Nice to meet you again, royals," the man greeted.
"Have you considered my offer?" The man asked.
"how do you expect us to know if you are genuine?" Sarah asked.
The man sighed loudly as he grazed his hands through his hair.
"Ezekiel is married," the man announced.
"What?!" Both the queen and the princess yelled simultaneously.
"Could it be he reversed the curse placed on him by the demons?" Eloise asked, facing her mother.
"Impossible! The curse is irreversible," Sarah replied.
"Then why is he married, I don't get any of these again," Eloise said pressing her temples.
"We need to find answers," Sarah said.
"I can help you and your queendom, I already have a plan that would make us conquer Ezekiel," the man said.
Both Eloise and Sarah were quiet, they were considering the offer.
"What is the plan?" Eloise asked earning a smile from the man.
Meanwhile
"Holy Mary mother of God!" Evie yelled as she fell to the floor, she groaned in pain while stretching her body.
She had a bad sleeping habit she was trying to overcome.
"Christ Jesus," she uttered while she held her back in pain.
The sound of chuckles made her realize that someone was in her room.
"Good morning ma'am" Alexa managed to greet, trying to hold back the laughter trying to escape her lips.
Evie glared at her before returning her gaze to the untidy bed which she had messed up while sleeping.
Then it hit her.
She slept off in the music theatre and then woke up in her room, she tried to remember if Alexa woke her up but there was no such thing as that.
"Alexa, who brought me to my room last night?" Evie asked.
Alexa grinned before replying "my master did".
Evie's face flushed and her cheeks were red thanks to her fair skin.
"Ma'am it is past 11:00 am what should I prepare for you?" Alexa asked.
"What?! Did I sleep for so long?"
"Yes ma'am, I did not wake you up because I knew you needed the sleep, besides there is nothing much for you to do today," Alexa told her.
Evie exhaled deeply before leaving for the bathroom.
Evie made her way downstairs, she was about to head to the sitting room when the smell of something delicious piqued her interest and she went to the kitchen immediately.
Alexa smiled seeing her in the kitchen "ma'am you should have waited for your meal in the dining room,"
"Well, the smell of something cooking attracted me here," Evie complimented.
Evie took a seat on the stool in the kitchen and watched Alexa cook, though she was not a fan of cooking, she still loved delicious meals.
Just then, entered the kitchen and whispered something into Alexa's ear and before she whispered something back to him and he left.
"How many staffs work here?" Evie asked and Alexa smiled.
"About fifty staffs," Alexa replied.
"Fifty what?!" Evie yelled, shocked to the core. She does not even know five staff and there were about fifty.
Alexa only smiled as she served the food on the mini table in the middle of the kitchen.
The aroma of the delicious meal made Evie dig into her food without a care about who was staring at her.
"You know that if you continue eating like that then you would choke on your meal," Ezekiel said leaning on the door frame.
Evie's heart skipped for a bit, she turned her head to view her husband leaning on the door frame with his hands tucked in his pockets.
She swallowed when her gaze landed on his pants! Her gaze lingered till it got to his big…
She quickly diverted her gaze to anywhere but him. She unintentionally tucked her red hair behind her head.
"You slept off in the music theatre," Ezekiel said walking up to her .
Something was off about Ezekiel today, was he trying to start a conversation with her?
"I was tired" Evie replied her gaze still on her food.
"There would be a family diner tonight and we are the host," Ezekiel said.
"What? Whose family are we dining with?" Evie finally looked up to gaze at him.
"Mine and yours as well" Ezekiel replied before turning to leave.
