Chapter 12 - Coronation day 1

"princess what have you got yourself into??" shocked Laura asked.

"I had to do anything to go to Austria..the book contains a map and wherever it leads it starts from the palace there.....I trust my mom...I can make it!"

I sighed hoping that I'm right!

"then we must get you ready for your day princess.."

Laura tried to be understanding she looked puzzled yet she decided to support me without further pressure of questioning.

"yes, let's do that!" I said calmly smiling at her, trying to stop thinking to avoid the explosion that would happen inside of my head if I continued thinking for a bit more!

when I thought I could succeed in doing that a maid entered the room with disguised Peter and lord Albert they made sure that the door was locked after making sure that the guards were totally out of consciousness!

what have they done??!

before I could give it more thought,

the maid knelt immediately

: "I beg you for forgiveness my queen! I had to save my family!"

what was that??? what does she mean?? I turned to Peter and lord Albert to try to understand what the hell is going on. Peter could read through my expression and words started getting out of his mouth.

Peter: "I told you princess we could trust lord Albert from the start it took us a month when it only took him 3 days to find the one!"

Did they find the one??

he dragged the maid in front of me, I had been sitting on my bed.

I tried to collect my voice from where I'd lost it and asked the maid.

i: "Did they murder my parents?!"

I was calm wishing for an answer.

the maid: "no my queen...we had nothing to do with their death. I had only orders to get the late Queen's blood, they said it was pure rare blood and it is a rare opportunity. I didn't understand what it meant I just had to do as they say I wasn't alone the guards of the room turned a blind eye to it too!.."

the maid stopped holding the end of my gown and asked me for forgiveness.

I was disgusted and angry I was about to hit her... but peter and laura held me...I couldn't control myself any longer...I screamed at her

: "you little.....leave me...I'm going to end her life...how dare u!!!.."

Peter: "princess please calm down!"

the maid started crawling back in fear.

i: "who WERE they???...WHO??...tell me and I'm getting their heads right NOW!!" I sopped unable to control myself, losing my strength I fell to set on the floor.

"it was princess Olivia...I wish I wouldn't have to tell you...but you must know...you must not trust anyone in this palace she doesn't have anything to do with their death but it seems that she pathed in your mother's blood...it can still just be suicide...and yet I have to be cruel and tell you ..you can't take any action about her" lord Albert sadly commented.

I sopped " so I just know about that now and do nothing about those maids, guards and that awful creature called my aunt!!"

"I'm afraid that we will need them later..." lord Albert said.

"at least have this maid sentenced for now...I won't let them go away with it!!"

I angrily said.

"Please have mercy.. your forgiveness...my queen....please...no!!"

they dragged the maid out.

...

In a few days,

the coronation day has come!

very early in the morning that day in front of my chamber, peter laura and lord Albert was standing with some boys and guards of his...

"It's the big day today! we succeeded until now in avoiding their meeting, make sure it stays that way, especially today!"

lord Albert ordered Peter, laura and some of his boys.

"speaking of the devil...!"

lord Albert whispered when he saw princess Olivia approaching them.

he walked forward smiled at her and paid respect.

"has the queen not awakened yet? I came to wish her luck.."

she asked the head maid that came with her in a very clear sound.

lord Albert interrupted " has anyone told you princess that you look stunning today more of all days??"

"oooh... do I??"

aunt Olivia smiled and started checking herself he walked her away from the chamber without her notice...she was busy thinking about herself....would lord Albert make a good husband for her after her deceased husband...no ....he would prefer dying!

lord Albert managed to send her away.

....

in the kingdom's village where commoners were preparing for the ceremony.

it was crowded..all the people were walking here and there...the whole kingdom was busy!

but this one conversation between these two men was something to look forward to...it made the world wonder!

"I tell you queen victoria will be named in history for being the only queen surviving murder attempts with poison in the palace!"

"Why is that??!"

"she has the royal's support everything is tested before entering her room and everyone is examined! her food is tested by 5 different maids before she puts it in her mouth! she has lots of guards by her side!"

"then she would be named in history...for the only queen who had her royal family's support!"
