Chapter 8 - Chapter eight: in the palace

Eugene looked at his two cousins, to hear their opinion too. Sebastian sighed, "let's just go for it for now, at least to stop them from dethroning you". "I agree", Xavier nodded. Eugene sighed and took a deep breathe. " What if she finds her mate before l find mine?" He finally said. "We can seal off her mark , to prevent her from finding him" said Lucas. Eugene nodded his head. "And how are we supposed to find someone worthy enough. I know there is no one worthy than the queen herself but we can't just contract anyone for the position of the queen" said Xavier. Everyone nodded in agreement. "If you are thinking about giving you fuck bitch the job , then l'm not gonna help" said Lucas. Eugene chuckled, "don't worry ,l know Sam isn't worthy". Lucas then place a blue light into their palms, "once we've touched the one worthy enough, the light will glow" he said. "Fine then, let's do it" said Eugene.

Heaven's pov:

When l got home, l narrated what happened to my brothers. They waited for me as usual. The look on their their faces wasn't good at all. "So you are going to the palace tomorrow, l mean this morning?" Damoin said. I nodded my head. "Is it a must for you to go. He doesn't know you, he won't notice if you didn't come" said Derick. "Guys, he will" l said. "But..." They couldn't find the right words to say. I know what they are worried about, it's obvious that the king wants me, that's why he asked me to come. But l'm going there because l have something else to do. I'm planning on using the chance to go to the restricted section of the royal library. Since l couldn't find a way to break the curse cast on me, in the public section. I tried to get in there before , but there was a barrier blocking the way. It's not that l can't break through it, but l will alert the King himself in the process, because he was the one that place the barrier there. Those who can go in, are those with the entry pass. "I'm going there to get an entry pass to the royal library" l said. "But how will you find one?" They said. "The king has a place where he keeps them. I just need to find out where", they sighed, "alright but be careful". After eating, l used my energy to stabilize their hearts again. Their heart condition keeps growing worse recently. I really hope l can save them , before it gets out of hand.

After kissing each other good bye, l set out to go to the palace. I remembered l have dear cousin that works as a maid here, it's been a long time since l last saw her. I've really missed that bitch though. Maybe l should go and see her. As l approached the palace gates, all the knights stared at me from head to toe. I went to the section that employs maids for the palace and joined the queue. And finally when it was my turn, the lady in charge looked at me and her jaws dropped. "Your name" she said when she composed herself. "Heaven Alizah Dianne Spencer" l replied. "Such a long name" another woman beside her said. "Do you have a pass?" The lady in charge said. Then l produced my pass. She looked at it and was a bit shocked ,"from the king himself?" She asked, "yes" l said simply. The woman beside her scoffed. The lady gave me back the pass and gave me another pass, "you may go in now" she said. As l entered all of the kinghts guarding the gates were staring , some were even licking their lips. How rude. After a while a maid approached me, "hey, you are the new maid for the king right?" She asked. I nodded my head, "the king ordered me to guide you, come with me" . I followed her into the palace , she talked about the rules l had to obey through out the walk. Until she got the maids quarters, "the maids quarters are divided into three sections. The bronze quarters for the maids of the lowest rank, the silver quarters for the maids next in rank, and the golden quarters for the maids of the highest rank, we are the ones that head the maids of the other ranks. The king ordered that you should be in the golden rank" she explained and gave me a golden colour hair pin, just like the one she was wearing. "All the maids are given these customized hair pins depending on their ranks" she explained.
