Master of Ceremony '' and now the best of the best, you know we always save the best at last. THE EZRA'S'' as the Ezra's were coming. The king and Queen clocking each other. Ephraim with his two sisters side by side. Everyone's eyes land on the two princess and Ephraim who was receiving jealousy eyes.
Invited people from the village were clapping at the far end. Only the royals were sitting at table in front of the hall.
As they sit at their reserved places, Hazel was feeling strange. Someone was still looking at her and this person was close. She looked at the person next to her and surprisingly it was Steven. In her mind Hazel thought he was a secret guard, so she relaxed but not for long she stared at him once again to be sure and it was him.
'' clapping and shouting from the audience.
Master of Ceremony '' we want to know our royals as l call your name, l request you do the honour to stand''
The master of ceremony called all the royals. From the kingdom of ADER all of them, from the king to his four wives and twelve kids. Five daughters and seven sons. All in red and gold.
The MAGAD from the king with his three wives and eight royals. Five royal princesses and three royal princes. These royals were taking fashion to another since majority were ladies.
The OZAR's from the king with his two wives and five children. Four daughters and one son. King Balam, the king stand and gave a small smile which he was faking.
' are all king heartless, he seems to be like my father' Hazel said to herself.
MC continues ''First queen, Queen Caroline'' she pleasantly gave a wave. ''Princess Lydia or some prefer Layla'', she smiles while standing. ''Princess Lama'', she stands and wave.
'' her highness the beauty which takes the king heart our second queen, Queen Eliza'' Queen Eliza stands and gave a warm smile than any queen. '' Princess Ayesha, princes Layla the second and Prince Michael'' they all stand at the same time waving to the crowd.
Hazel senses a little bit of incoming tension between Princess Lama, Layla and Victoria. Princess Victoria did not even flinch. Her eyes were on both of them.
'' from the land GIDEON king Herman'' as the king stand the crowd go crazy, he was old but still handsome but his misfortune to have at least two wives. They say that his tribe chiefs refuse him to add more than two wives but rumour says that he has a dozen of children, within his kingdom and some outside Gideon. '' first Queen, queen Nersha'' the most beautiful queen from them all but how ever she was seen as a crazy queen. No one listen to her except her son. Some rumours says she is a witch and some say she is demon possessed. She stands and wave the crowd and her colleagues at the table. '' Prince Simon'' A.K.A Steven stands with no smile shown on his face. The crowd went crazy on him ,especially ladies at the table. All princess want him. No lady could refuse his charming handsome face he inherited from his father even some man wish they have a glimpse of him and others were jealousy especially Ephraim.
'' so now he is a prince'' Hazel murmured.
While Simon was taking his sit he noticed that Hazel was not just looking at him, she was cursing too. All princess at the table were starring at Simon and whispering to each other.
'' prince Amon'' the little handsome stand just like his brother no smile at all.
''princess Annabel'' like mother like daughter. '' now the second queen, Queen Tabeth with prince Roshan and Princess Rose''
'' now, our king, from the mother land, our goddess Mirma, lets welcome king Sheba of EZRA'' not a normal craziness but all people stand with respect, shouting and clapping for him, including the royalties were bowing before him . King Sheba bowed elegantly and sat. ''And lastly Queen Dorah with prince Ephraim, Princess Victoria and princess Lucia'' All four rise, same to other who were bowing before them.
Not sure to smile or wave Hazel did none. She just stand from her chair and sit down. Since Hazel's mother was no more she was introduced as Lady Dorah's second daughter. Princess Victoria and prince Ephraim.
'' today we gather to celebrate life, peace, joy and justice between us. Let the harmony flow. Open up your heart and forget all the worries. As we feast let the show begin'' as the master of ceremony said the dancers and musicians come in to give a show.
As food was served at the table ,Hazel was just agitated not knowing why. She was pissed, on the other side was her brother Ephraim and on the other Simon aka Steven. ' if l can just eat and leave this place just as the dance starts' Hazel said to herself and she started filling her plate with food. Simon was just observing her every move.
Hazel filled her plate with meat and salads.
''by the way who is the crazy princess l heard about'' Lama asked looking at Victoria who was already pissed at her.
Victoria wanted to sit between Ephraim and Simon to get more attention.
''yes tell us, l heard she tried to commit suicide'' Lama continued looking at Victoria who was looking at her,then at Hazel.
'' and that too, for a palace servant, a low class man. What a small minded, good for nothing princes'' Lama started laughing and everyone join her except for Ephraim and Simon who were not interested.
Hazel stopped eating. While everyone was laughing she was filled with anger. She started scrunching her eye brows together
. ' l wish l could woop your ass' she cursed her underneath.
Ephraim was worried about her. Let alone Hazel was about to explode with anger. She dropped her fork, wanting to leave the table that instant. But, as Simon noticed that, he put his hand on her thighs. Even though she wanted to leave, she could not.
''relax Hazel that's what they want'' Simon whispered. All the anger that she felt throughout her entire body vanish.
'did l just hear him calling me Hazel?' Hazel was surprised.
Hazel couldn't not let that pass. She remembers about one crazy rumor of her." If l say that it will be disrespectful but what can I lose except my honor that she just ruined'
Hazel decide to explode on her not caring about the punishment or her father .
'' oh, l almost forgot aren't you not the one of the two princes l heard were sleeping together. All my goodness. What an awful obsession you have. Having sex with your own sister.'' Hazel make a small laugh.
