Chapter 17
I stood by the window as I stared down at the activities at the castle, the castle has many servants around and no one can easily get into the castle without getting caught.
“Good morning my queen” I turned to see sage standing by the door in a bow looking beautiful as ever “Hope you slept well last night?”
The thought of night made me remember my disgusting practice with king archer, how he teased my nipples and banged my pvssy so hard that couldn’t feel it, how he stared into my eyes and said the first sweet word I have ever heard from his mouth.
“You’re beautiful” well I won’t say sex is a punishment as I saw it but king archer made it more difficult than it seemed.
“my night wasn’t a bad one sage, how was yours” I asked in a slight smile.
“Very well my queen, uhm the kings dad his highness past on” she said as I shivered in shock, what a sad news to start a day with.
“Are you serious!?, Where is the King and Prince Ray hope they are fine” I asked as she nodded, who knows the mood of the king and his brother, I am sure they are in the worst mood right now.
“My queen you should get ready, the king’s body will soon be taken away to get buried and you can’t eat or drink anything until he is buried, that’s why I didn’t get your food or coffee”
Yes it was that fast, it is bad to leave a royalty’s body’s more than a day because it is seen as a punishment to his soul and disrespect to his body.
“Must I go with them?” I asked curiously as she nodded and headed to my closet as she came back with a white garment.
“My queen this is the call outfit as you know” She said as I nodded “can I help you out of your gown?” She said walking behind me.
” Yes sure”
The king and his brother Prince Ray walked out of the the castle with no bit of sadness on their faces, they looked as if they haven’t lost anyone and that got Pearl surprised, she had expected a dull king archer but she saw a much more stronger one.
Four guards matched out with the late king’s corps on their shoulders rapt with white clothing and his crown still on his head, the queens where all looking sad as they all walked behind the king and his brother.
Pearl had no reason to be sad because she knew nothing about the king, infact she should be happy that he died because he is the one behind her being pregnant, maybe karma was judging Jim. But still she felt so pathetic for the king and his brother, she knows that they are hurt but they are just being strong like men.
“Keep my father’s corps inside the chariot we will all be riding on the horses” King Archer ordered as the guard did as said.
It was obvious that none of the Queen’s could ride a horse but pearl was perfect at it, she scanned through the horses and already choose the one she would ride on in her mind.
“I know that none of you can ride a horse, so the guards will ride each of you” the king said and climbed on his horse.
“I can ride a horse my king, I’d prefer to ride myself” she said as Agent fox walked towards her.
“No my queen, you won’t be riding yourself, you might fall off the horse. Horses ain’t easy to ride because they can lose control just anytime” Agent fox tried convincing Pearl who shaked her head.
“This is not my first time riding a horse, I want to ride myself” pearl insisted and walked to the black and white horse “I will ride this one”
“My queen, you were in coma for three…”
“Don’t remind me of that, that was in the past, I insist that I ride myself”
” Fox leave her alone, she can ride herself” Prince Ray said as Fox bowed and climbed his horse.
“Pearl you will be riding with snow” King Archer said as pearl nodded happily that she was finally gonna ride a horse after a long time.
The ride to the river was so quite, only the sound from the horses feet could be heart walking through the lonely part of bushes and trees.
Everyone was amazed with the way Pearl rode the horse with so much skill, they hadn’t expected her to be so good because riding a horse wasn’t easy to learn but here a queen is riding even better than some of the guards.
They where about crossing the boundary between their Kingdom into another Kingdom, Dicrik is the only Kingdom that has a River and not just a River, the largest in the world.
People from different kingdoms came to bury corps in the river as that was the way the buried people.
On getting to the boundary lines about to cross it, arrows flew from different directions of the bush and pinned to the ground in front of them as a warning to stay back.
It was expected though, you can’t just walk into a kingdom without bribing the solders that guarded the kingdom, it was the same in other Kingdoms too.
A dark thin man matched out of the bush with soldiers behind him, he was thin but has a big head that he covered with a large cap, he looked so funny on his attire which wasn’t really his size.
“What has the great king of Guham come to do in Dicrik” he asked
“Arlo give him the pounds so we can leave her as quick as possible” king archer said as Arlo brought out a bag of pounds and threw it to the soldier who opened it slightly and peeped into it.
Satisfaction was written on his face as he signalled his soldier to take off the arrows.
What a soldier, he didn’t still persist on the king telling him what they where going to do in their Kingdom, it was just as if the money shut his mouth, what of we where going in for war?, We already have a free access then.
We rode down to the stream as we all jumped down, I hated the sight of watching people get buried it was one of my worst pet peeves.
It’s so sad that my parents weren’t buried, they died a horrible death, burial is a form of last respect and I didn’t do that for my parents, even if I had the opportunity to bury them properly I won’t still be able to do it because I do not have any relatives to assist me.
The late king’s corps was placed on a boat as we watched it float slowly down the river, Prince Ray took the fire arrow and shot it to the kings floating corps as it burnt its way down the river.Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
The great king was finally gone, gone forever. King Archer watched his father’s corps burn to nothing without any form of sad expression written on his face.
We stood and watched the king’s body float until it was out of sight, now it was time to go back to the castle.

King Archer walked into his chamber as Agent fox ran after him, King Archer was in a bad mood because of his father’s death.
Yeah he tried to stay calm and act all cool with it but deep down he was burning, he didn’t expect his dad to die, his father has always been a strong man and no one ever believed that he would fall sick in such a way not to talk of dying as a result of the sickness.
Archer just wanted to sit on his throne just him and his thoughts alone, he didn’t want to to see anyone but he knew that for his personal adviser to run after him even after seeing his current mood, it was important.
“My king here is a letter for you sent by the king of Prussiate” fox said handing the letter to him, he hesitated a bit but took the letter and read through it.
“He is the one organizing this years mask party!?” Archer yelled as he stamped his feet hard on the ground angrily.
Archer knew what King Theo was capable of, they are the youngest of all king’s and the are sworn enemies.
It all started from their fathers rein, Archer’s dad had killed Theodore’s dad In a war front and Theo has sworn to do anything possible to avenge his father’s death.
King Archer knew that going to Prussiate is going to be a big life threat as he doesn’t know what Theodore has in stuck for him but still he has to go as it’s a to do custom for the king’s.
King’s from different Kingdoms will be coming with their wives for the mask party and anything is expected In a mask party.
The mask party is in few days time!…
