Chapter 25
The ceremony ended successfully and the Palace staff left to continue their work.
It's midnight and Queen Purity still can't sleep, what she discovered about Queen Bonya bothered her.
"Why doesn't Queen Bonya have a red birthmark on her back, my Royal father should know this," Queen Purity said to herself as she struggled to sleep.
"Queen Bonya grew up in her mother's Palace and I remember Queen Cleopatra brought her up on my 6th birthday," she murmured.
"Where is the real Princess and who is Queen Bonya?" Queen Purity was confused.
While in deep thought she didn't realize that she had fallen asleep and she just woke up by the cries of Princess Frennie while being taken care of Mona.
"Baby Princess, are you hungry or maybe you just miss my hug?" Queen Purity asked her daughter.
Baby Frennie suddenly smiled so she hugged her.
Meanwhile, Queen Bonya heard a knock in her room, she didn't want to open because she was still sleepy but it kept knocking so she decided to open the door and she saw two nurses outside with the young Prince.
"Your Majesty, we brought the Prince here because he was crying earlier and we knew that he was looking for you," the slave reported as she handed Prince Cord to Queen Bonya.
"I feel bad now so don't disturb me and you are being paid to take care of the Prince so don't bother me at this time!" Queen Bonya irritability replied.
The nurses took the little Prince out of the Palace and they saw Queen Purity and Mona undressing the little Princess to warm up in the sunlight and suddenly Queen Purity saw them.
"Come here and warmth the little Prince in the sunshine," Queen Purity offered.
Queen Purity took the young Prince and undressed him so that the sunrays could easily penetrate his skin but Queen Purity was shocked to see the back of the young Prince because it had a bright red birthmark like Princess Frennie's back.
"Mona, look at the back of the young Prince, he also has a red birthmark like Princess Frennie and its color and shape are the same too!" Queen Purity wondered.
"Yes, their birthmarks look like twins because they are same color and size!" Mona's eyes widened.
After ten minutes of exposure to sunlight the nurses took the Prince.
Queen Purity was left in deep thought and with many questions on her mind.
Suddenly, the People in the Palace were startled because they noticed soldiers coming and suddenly someone shouted.
"The King of the Zuan Kingdom has arrived!" the soldiers shouted.
Some staff went out to the Palace to greet King Zuper and immediately informed King Gab of King Zuper's arrival.
The People in the Palace saw that the King was with his two Queens and they were riding in a fancy chariot.
"This Palace is really huge, if Queen Bonya will be finally appointed as one of the most powerful Queen I will stay here," Queen Cleopatra happily mumbled.
"No wonder it is even richer than the Zuan Kingdom because this Kingdom has an oil company that distributes almost all over the country, the Zuan Kingdom also has companies such as the mining company and has a livestock raising that exports and imports to selected countries but I think this Kingdom is more wealthy than the Zuan Kingdom," Queen Cleopatra whispered to herself .
Two soldiers greeted them to be ushered to the throne of King Gab.
King Gab smiled happily when he saw his best friend, King Zuper.
King Zuper saluted him and they both shook hands.
"King Gab, I meant you here because I wanted to deliver a good news and to visit my grandchildren," King Zuper gladly said.
"King Zuper, I enjoyed your visit here," King Gab said enthusiastically.
"The King of Nazer Kingdom was killed in a war because he wanted to invade a Kingdom in the west to seize it but he was defeated by the enemies," King Zuper reported.
"Good news because each of our Kingdoms will have now peace and tranquility," King Gab exclaimed.
"King Gab, I want to excuse myself because I wanted to see my grandchildren," King Zuper was very excited.
King Gab sent his assistants to assist the King and Queens to visit the little Prince and Princess.
Queen Cleopatra happily went to Queen Bonya's room while King Zuper and Queen Sasa visited to Queen Purity's room.
Queen Purity and Mona heard a knock on the door so Mona immediately opened it while Queen Purity was carrying Princess Frennie.
A King and Queen appeared Mona's eyes, she recognized them through their garments and crown.
"Your Majesty, good day!" Mona greeted them in a respectful tone.
The King nodded and Queen Purity saw them immediately.
"Your Majesty, I was surprised at your sudden arrival," Queen Purity exclaimed as she handed Princess Frennie to Mona.
"Queen Purity, we visited here because we wanted to see the little Prince and Princess," the King replied.
Queen Purity was embraced by her Queen mother.
"Queen Purity, you're a full-fledged mother now, I am glad that you fulfilled your role as a good mother," Queen Sasa praised.
Suddenly the King glanced at the little Princess.
"Is she my cute Princess?" the King asked as he turned his gaze to the little baby.
"Oh! Our little Princess is so adorable," Queen Sasa gushed while holding the baby's little finger.
"She inherited your beauty Queen Sasa," King Zuper said briefly.
"Your Majesty, Princess Frennie also inherited your red birthmark at the back," Queen Purity quickly replied.
"I inherited the birthmark from our ancestors and it is a sign to our clan that we have royal blood," King Zuper explained.
"You and Queen Bonya inherited the red birthmark from me," the King added.
"Your Majesty, but I saw no red birthmark at the back of Queen Bonya, I saw her yesterday at the ceremony wearing backless gown and it was clear in my eyes that she had no red birthmark," Queen Purity revealed in astonishment.
"What? I can't be wrong because I was there when Queen Bonya was born and I was staring at her back and I saw that she had birthmark!" the King ranted while clenching his fists.
"That Queen Cleopatra may have deceived us for a long time!" Queen Sasa was disappointed.
"I have to investigate this!" Then where is the real Princess?" the King frowned.
"We need to find the truth because Queen Bonya was born and grew up in their Kingdom and she was brought by Queen Cleopatra at the age of five to our Kingdom," Queen Sasa replied.
"Queen Cleopatra must not know this while I am still investigating," said the King.
Meanwhile ,Queen Bonya and Queen Cleopatra were happily laughing as their plans are about to come true.
"Wait, have you ever been ordered to kill the midwife?" Queen Cleopatra asked.
Before Queen Bonya could answer, they heard a knock on the door so Queen Bonya immediately opened it.
The soldier appeared.
"Your Majesty, I'm sorry to say but the midwife left and I never saw her again," the soldier sadly informed.
"What?The midwife ran away!" her eyes glazed over with anger.
The soldier left.
"You need to be sure because the midwife might precede you and she will confess to the King!" Queen Cleopatra glowered.
King Zuper returned to the Palace with the two Queens after he visited the two babies.
Meanwhile, Queen Bonya was restless so she thought of taking Prince Cord to the King to bring the King's heart closer to the Prince and while she was about to knock she noticed that it was slightly open and she heard a woman's voice inside.
"Your Majesty, something is bothering my mind so I thought of confessing to you but I am worried for my security and safety," the woman sniffled.
Queen Bonya heard that it seemed to be the Midwife's voice so she immediately opened it.
The midwife was shocked.
Queen Bonya saw the midwife so she stared at her sharply.
The midwife trembled in fear.
