Ava's POV
I ran to the bush as my mum told me she wouldn't let me talk or explain to her that the medicine might not work. Her mind was that I must go to the bush and pluck the leaves for her…"how is that even possible??" I asked myself.
All I have always comprehended is that before I treat the sick I will first get to see the person before I get to know the kind of leave that I will pluck...I approached the bush and when I get there, I started wandering I didn't know what to do..and I know if I don't go home with a leave my mum will deal with me.
I saw a tree and sat down behind it, then I thought of what I could do immediately I sat and I couldn't think of anything. I ruffled my hair for an idea but I couldn't still think of anything, and before I knew it an idea popped into my head immediately. In order to avoid any trouble I will just pluck any leaves that I see and go home. Maybe when mum is calm I will explain everything to her.
"But if mum gets to get the medicine to heal the king, who will go to the village and heal him," I thought as I stood then approached the leaf at my front, I contemplated for a while before I finally plucked it. immediately I plucked it, I quickly walked back home but my mind keeps judging me.
Edisons's POV
I felt hurt when I saw that girl alone thinking, have been observing her since the day I saw her coming out of Prince Edward's room crying and her clothes were stained, since that day have already known that she wants revenge and am ready to fight with her because I feel so pity for her and so also because I know that the queen and the prince are wicked and I want revenge for the prince I always feel so hurt whenever I go to his room and I meet him whimpering, Even Though I'm not that happy also whenever I see him unhappy It usually adds to my sadness.
I have observed it since the king assigned me to be his guard, whenever the queen comes out of the room he is always crying and I always feel so hurt also. and have always wanted to know what the queen has been hiding because something seems so off about her and I'm ready to find out….the most shocking part is that I didn't expect prince Liam to do such a thing because I didn't know that he is that wicked.
Since I heard the conversation between the queen and prince Liam I already knew that the queen has something she is hiding and, sometimes the way he usually stares at the prince whenever am there I know that he is evil,
I don't think I want revenge yet but I just want that girl to be happy and stop thinking.
Ava's POV
I got home and I was surprised when I met my mum outside and with the way she was staring at the road she looked like she was waiting for someone.
I approached her quickly and offered her the leaf.
"What took you so long?" she asked immediately I gave her the leaf.
"I'm so sorry mum, I had…." and she interrupted me immediately.
"Keep quiet!!!" I heard and my heart popped instantly and I trembled.
"I'm sorry mum but I have something so vital to tell you about this leaf," I said and sputtered.
"Keep quiet and leave this minute," she said.
And I walked out of the place and moved towards my room.
It's so hurt you know that she didn't listen to know the truth behind the leaf.
"Anyways I know that I have tried my best and my mind won't judge me again," I thought as I twisted the door of my room and entered inside…
I approached my bed and I sat on it then before I knew it I started thinking about the life I and my father has been living since the death of my mum before she finally got married to my stepmom and since my dad has gotten married to him we've not been so closed like we always used to be and all he cares about now is on how to get money to provide for his family and he does not even have time for himself like before again and I know my stepmom is the cause of this because the way he usually demands for money from my daddy is becoming too much like he works in a place where he earns more than he earns.
"Ava!!! Ava!!" I heard and cringed then drifted out of my thoughts.
I didn't hesitate before I ran out of the room to meet her outside.
Immediately I got outside I was stunned when I still met her there sitting down.
"What could she still be doing outside?" I thought.
"Mum!! You called me" I said.
"No!! I shoot you" she replied and whirled.
"I'm sorry ma" I sputtered.
"I will have to send you an errand to achieve my purpose" I heard her thoughts
"Go to my friend's house near the market, ask her to give you the money she owes me and after that you should go to the market and get me all these things in the list with the money she will give you and make sure everything is complete" she said.
And I hurriedly left the house before she said any more words to me.
Ava's mum pov
I waited for Amelia to come back from school so I could explain everything to her already.
I'm so happy to receive the leaf from her. Collecting the leaf from her alone makes me already assured that my only daughter will soon become one of the royal family.
Ava have some problem after she had given me what I want I don't know the stupid information she is saying that she wants to tell me about the leaf, "when I had collected what I want from her what else do I need huh??" I thought and giggled.
Thank God that Ava has left the house. I will be able to fulfill my plans well because I don't want my husband to know about it. I had to send her out of the house so she wouldn't tell her father about the plan.
I walked towards and smiled then held her hands while we walked inside together.
To be continued.
