Chapter 18 - In trouble 3

The tension between them could be felt miles away, Lyn knows pretentious snakes like Consort Suva so she isn't afraid of her. She knew exactly what she was getting herself into saving each other the trouble of having to keep pretending when she sees her.

"Why because you slept with the king? You are so naïve Princess Oaklyn, oh little girl what a grave mistake you made going against me openly," Consort Suva howls dropping her acts.

"haha," Lyn laughs staring at her. "Finally you drop the act, it must be hard pretending all the time. Well because I'm the queen of this land, Consort Suva and you are what? The former king's unloved concubine, come on now," Lyn replied with her smile.

"How dare y--!" she yells raising her hand,

"I will think twice before doing that if I were you, I may not be the king's favorite person but I'm his queen after all, you can't hold a candle next to me if I were you I will watch my steps from now on. Your days of reigning are over so know your place," Lyn added while Consort Suva controls herself. She will be in trouble if she lays a hand on the queen.

"HAHA," Consort Suva blasts out into laughter.

"I didn't know the princess of Malavon was a savage, your mother didn't teach you anything at all about surviving in the palace, and you just signed your death sentence. The king you are so proud to be his queen can be replaced at any time and you will be nothing. You just wait and watch how I make your life a living hell," Consort Suva threatened and she meant every word she uttered.

"I can't wait either, as long as I am here no one can touch the king. And for the record, my mother died right after giving birth to us so she didn't get to teach me but I'm a fast learner," Lyn said with a smirk on her face, because of the tension in the hall either of them hadn't process what Lyn said or she did but ignored it.

Everyone knows Queen Kailani had just one child.

Jetaime was there in time to hear all of their argument, Lyn was magnificent under the ruffled breeze in the hall, the very last place Jetaime would expect to find her, she was bold and confident and knew how to identify her foes and send a strong warning. She impresses him more and more each day and proves him wrong.

In his head, he holds up his glass and says in a hushed voice, 'To Queen Lyn- the girl who surprises me more and more!'

"You, come with me," Jetaime hushed making his presence known to the ladies, "Your Highness, the queen and I were getting to know each other," Consort Suva says with a smile, she hate to bite her lips in pretends in front of the king but was left with no options knowing the king might take her side looking at the way the king was doting on her.

"She might get you angry with her silly talks, I will take her with me," Jetaime says as he drags Lyn out of there. He continue to drag her even when they were out of there. Lyn knew she was in trouble. the last thing she wants is to offend him.

"Slow down, I can't walk that fast," Lyn hissed.

"You!" Jetaime growls pointing his fingers at her, the maids behind them quickly go on their knees.

"I'm sorry just-just that …" Lyn said in a sad low tone with her gaze fixed on the ground.

"You still have a mouth to talk?" he rumbles yet Lyn's gaze was still fixed on the ground 'why is she looking down and not in my eyes?' 'Where is the fearless girl I just saw now?' Jetaime thought as he stares at her not knowing what next to say.

"Will you go against me too if I decide to kill that maid of yours huh?" Jetaime asks trying to provoke her more, he wants to see the beast he saw earlier and as predicted Lyn lifts her head and stares right into his eyes, just like Jetaime wanted.

"Y…" before Lyn could utter a word Jetaime grabs her hand again as he drags her with him, "Have them bring my lunch to my inner chamber," Jetaime ordered. "Yes, your highness," Madam Yina replies and takes the maids with her. Pana was reluctant but knows there was nothing she could do. Madam Yina drags Moesha with her before she causes the queen another trouble.

"What is your name girl?" Madam Yina questions. "Moesha," she answers her. "From today you will be with me, if you want to serve the queen you need to learn so today's incident doesn't repeat itself. The king doesn't forgive mistakes neither do I. Do I make myself clear?" Madam Yina says.

"But I did nothing," Moesha protested, as Madam Yina hits the side of her arm with her stick. "och," she groans. "Do you understand me? You say yes ma'am," she instructed.

"Yes ma'am," Moesha obliged. "Much better now follow me," Madam Yina ordered.

"But I," Moesha hissed, and before she could finish she receive another slap on her arm from Madam Yina, "Yes ma'am," Moesha replies this time around.

"I wonder what the king will do to the queen." Pana thought out loud as the other maids wonders the same thing.

"You better mind your own business, before I punish you for not performing your duties," Madam Yina squabbles. The maid went mute preparing to take the king his lunch.
