MY SWEET SISTER IS MINE_
"The queen sent for you...she wants you to come with the baby..."
Oh..so the prodigal mother is back.. what a joke everything has turned out to be lately. Just few hours I don't see any reason in giving this woman called my mother a chance to redeem her pitiful self in front of me.
I took little Ivory with me.. Hazel came along with me as we approach the queen's chambers I wanted to go back.. I don't want her to touch my sister...
" Princess...we should go..!" Hazel advised, I walked reluctantly.
" You wanted to see me...?" Skipping formalities is enough for this woman isn't it?
" Brat...! I want to see my baby!" She replied
" Oh.. which one..? You didn't have a twins did you?" I mocked..
" Violet... your anger is justified. Don't make everything worse.. just hand over the baby ti me" she seems to be feeling better enough to use her authority on me
" Really...hand over the baby...? Besides she has a name... it's Ivory..a baby whom people of great status accepted whole heatedly while you yelled looking for your sweet son. Oh.. where is he?" There is no way I'll give up my sister
" Violet...!!! Do you know that am your mother?"
" I might not be sure of that little detail.."
Her eyes boiled in anger but then it disappears
" I don't have enough strength to argue.. just hand her over.. "
" According to rights..the naming rights to be precise... I have total control over the custody of ivory..so letting you have her is killing such rights "
" Violet... don't lete call your father...!" Threatening me with my father...is she forgetting that am a bastard...
"Hazel...leave us!" I was about to do something audacious... and letting a citizen witness that isn't part of my plan
" All of you...get out!" My voice was harsh and loud enough..my mother was a bit shocked by my sudden behavior
"Now... let's have a real conversation..."
" There is nothing to talk about... I need to take care of your sister"
" Really...why didn't you think about that when I shove the naming rights down your face...?"
She was speeches and unnecessarily mute
" Don't let me call your father...?!!" I think sje was beginning to feel stressed out and upset but for all I care
" My father...do I have a father...? Was I not pulled form an unknown source?" I questioned coldly
" What do you mean?" She was looking into my eyes for answer but heavens know she isn't going to see anything
" Am i not a bastard you brought into your sweet husband's house?! You raised me in a illusion didn't you?"
She was shocked to hear what came off.. she didn't expect that I'll know about it... definitely she planned to keep it form me forever
" You don't want to tell me do you? You want to trap me in here forever..in someone's else's shadow...! Unbelievable mother...wait are you my mother..? If am adopted please tell me so that I can make good use of the parents I might have or not "
" Violet... I.... I.. your..."
"No need.. I already know what I need to.. your silence is enough to prove the truth in what am saying...how can you do this me..? You made me do everything he wants when you know that I mean nothing to him!!"
I was already crying.. it's hurts to ne treated like this...i was forced to grow up faster than any children just to please them so it's just a lie...an illusion
"He loves you.. and treat you well. He takes you out on royal outtings..."
" Really...a outting you convinced him to let me tag along...! Am I really that stupid mother...? "
She fell on the bed and I refused to show her any concern...she didn't care about me so why would I...
" Don't act so sad mother... you saw this coming!!! Am done pleasing anyone of you..as for my sister..i won't give her up to an unqualified mother like you!!"
I left immediately and ran to the garden and cried my heart out.. I have been decived long enough
" Princess..." It was Leon.. I hugged him tightly forgetting that he is my body guard.
" It's okay..." He said while patting my hair
" I never realized that I was a bastard... that's why he left me to wander around..."
Leon looked at me with a serious gaze...
" Princess...! " He pacified me and I cried harder.. thinking of when I'll be replaced.. I felt it won't be long anymore.
After a long hours of crying.. I finally realized the position I was with Leon... I back away and rest on the wall looking more sad and bitter
" Princess...what you said earlier... I don't understand?"
" Leon..all this years I have been putting up a good show for them.. it turns out that I'll never rule anthill because am a bastard...a half royal blood..a disgrace to everything I have been doing all these years..."
He was momentarily stunned and his mouth open wide...
" Even if princess...you are the only one the people recognize for now. If he raises the little princess well she can rule anthill while you support her... Since the queen is loved by the king he'll definitely keep this secret till he dies..."
Leon does make a lot of sense... I just have to be here ti support my sister no matter what she'll rule anthill and I'll ne by her side guilding and protecting her...
" You are right.... I'll have to raise her well to be worthy and capable of the throne... he'll have no choice but to make her rule anthill " I nod in agreement but a voice in me couldn't help but laugh...
'why.....?'
I decided to cut every unnecessary thoughts.. I have to focus in taking care of my sister...
"Where is Ivory...?"
" Hazel has her. She's asleep!"
" Let's go and make a queen out of my little sister..."
" That's the spirit princess....!!"
