The Fall of the Queen

“You came into my life unexpectedly and left without proper goodbyes. Why do everything ends with the sunset, and all I was left are what ifs and whys? Do you like seeing me cry?  Was my love not enough? Was everything a lie?”
-TheLiesoftheBlessed, by A. Sterling

On this particularly rainy day, a normal looking carriage arrived at a mansion located at a secluded area of the Capital of Solas.

Stella, the current queen, climb off of the carriage.

She was greeted by an old butler and then led towards the Master’s Bedroom.

Isang matipunong lalaki ang nakaupo sa may bintana, may hawak itong isang baso na naglalaman ng alak.

“My Love.” Stella who was gloomy suddenly lit up upon seeing the man.

Lander Sandford, the Baron of a small territory, is Stella’s secret lover.

“I missed you!” saad ni Stella

“Me too.” Lander

“I’ve been stressed ever since that girl came back from Xyrus.” Stella

“You mean the princess? Is it true that she’s very powerful?” Lander

“As if. Once a trash, always a trash.” Stella

“Then why are you so stressed?” Lander

“That damnable man is neglecting our daughter now that that brat is back!” Stella

“Calm down..” Lander

“He’s a cold, heartless man! It was a good thing that I drugged him on the night of our wedding. If not for that, he would have found out that Lihana is not his daughter.” Stella

“You did a good job, Love.” Lander

“My Love, I can’t wait to kill that man.” Stella

“With the help of the Aristocrats, we will be able to. But now is not the time.” Lander

“What are we waiting for? I cant stand him anymore!” Stella

“Wait until the Aristocrats help our daughter inherits the king’s throne. Then we can frame the king with some crimes and make our daughter execute him.” Lander

“You’re right as always. Let’s get rid of his annoying children too.. I cant stand them anymore.. Our daughter is clearly more talented than those children, our daughter is the only one rightful for the crown.” Stella

“Once our daughter inherits the throne we can finally announce the truth. Who will be able to touch us by then? We will rule this kingdom with our daughter.” Lander

“Of course.” Stella

“By that time, we can finally be together without your family obstructing us. We will be a happy family with our daughter.” Lander

“My Love you’re really the only one who really loves me in this world.” Stella

“Of course, Love.” Lander

“I love you so much.” Stella

They were startled when the door was suddenly blasted open.

Annoyed by the sudden interruption Lander shouts, “Who dares enter the room of a baron!”

“It is I, your King.”

Agad pinanlamigan ang dalawa sa narinig.

Several familiar figures entered the room, followed by the kingdom’s knights and soldiers.
