Ava's mum's POV
"Mum, why are you holding my hand so tight? You are hurting me, "Amelia said.
"Oooh!! you won't understand" I said as I walked her inside.
Immediately we got inside I sat her ass down on the couch and I also sat at her front.
"Mum!!! Please explain to me, I am confused, why are you suddenly acting so strange??" She asked curiously.
"Listen to me now and forget about if I am acting strange or not,I have got something that will make your life better for you" I said.
"Mum, what is it??" She asked curiously.
"Hmmm!!! I heard that there is this great king in the Tamara kingdom…." I said and she interrupted me immediately.
"What is the issue with you and Tamara or Tamare kingdom whatever,why are you suddenly talking about the kingdom out of blue moons" she said immediately.
"Omg!! Amelia,why can't you calm down and listen to me" I said angrily.
"Ok!!! Mum,I will calm down" she said and gazed at me.
"You know this king I am talking about is so sick and they need a healer to heal him,if not he might die and here is how you will come in??" I said.
"How??" She asked curiously.
"Just calm down, and listen to me," I said.
"Ok mum" she replied.
"So I have find a solution on how you will come in" I said as I walked up to where I kept the leaves and pointed it at her.
"Mum what are you saying,I don't seem to understand any of your words" she asked again.
And I was already getting tired of her boring questions.
"Why can't this girl just be like me? Why does she always love to act like a fool like her father?" I thought.
"Keep quiet and listen to me now,you will take this leave from me,I got it from Ava and by tomorrow morning you will go to Tamara kingdom and when you get there you will tell them you are a healer, and if you eventually see the king you will squeeze the leave the way Ava usually squeeze it and use it also the way she usually use it,I know it will eventually works" I said and grinned.
"But mum!! I'm not the healer here and why don't you allow Ava to go,why are you sending me??" She asked.
And I mimicked her.
"Will you keep quiet??" I said angrily.
"Have always known that this girl is so daft and she does not know anything"I thought.
"You will have to do as I say if you want us to live together in the same house" I said.
"Mum,I will have to go to school tomorrow and I don't even know the Tamara kingdom you are talking about," she said.
"Don't worry about the kingdom,I will describe the kingdom to you,it is not even far from here...and make sure you use the leave well and make sure that you don't replace it" I said.
"Ok fine mum!! I'm so hungry..I want to go and eat" she said and before I knew it she stood up from the couch and walked to the kitchen.
Unknown's POV
I saw the guard who came to me at the garden the other day on my way to the Queen's room to give her food.And I signaled to him that we will meet at the garden again today.
I waited a while for him at the palace garden but he was nowhere to be found. I was about to leave the place when I saw him walking towards me.
"Hi," I said when he finally got to me.
"Hi," he replied.
And I sat down.
"So you were saying something about the queen the other day, please can you tell me about it??" He said.
"Sure, I have been wanting to pour out my heart to someone for the past few years but there is no one to be trusted but I think it's high time I tell you about it" I said and I have not started explaining when hot tears begin to poured out of my face.
"You have to stop crying, crying is not the solution here" he said and helped me to wipe my tears.
"Some years back,before my mum died she was a maid in the palace, though she usually comes back home to her family,but one day she came back and suddenly said she is not working in the palace any longer and my dad was confused even though I was still a little bit young….I was eight years old," I said and sniffled In tears.
Before I knew it I started hiccupping.
"So what happened, and please stop crying?"he said again and I nodded my head.
"On One faithful day,I was on my way home when I started hearing strange noises coming out of our house and I was scared,I decided to stay outside and eavesdrop and that was when I heard everything"I said and stopped,and I couldn't say anything again.
I was just crying and I couldn't say anything again, because the day was a very bad memory for me,it was the day my heart was splitted into pieces.
I wept and wept,that I couldn't stop myself even though the guy tried to calm me from not crying….tears were just spilling out of my eyes like a running tap.
"Please stop crying,I know how you feel"the guy said and tried to stop me ....but it didn't still stopped me because I was so devastated.
To be continued….
