★THE KING’S MAID★
Inside Matilda’s suite,Queen Sofia has a worried face on. She wouldn’t really want Matilda to loose the pregnancy even though she’s just a mistress,she have been praying for a heir for too long to loose again.
She stared at Matilda on the bed and then turned to King Lucian
“I heard that maid bumped into her” She said and King Lucian faced her
“It was a mistake I guess” He said
“What silly mistake is that?!” Queen Sofia snapped and turned away from him when the healer,Lady Diana started walking toward them.
“She’s fine right?” Queen Sofia asked
“Yes your queen,the mistress is fine but the….”
“Don’t tell me she lost the baby” Queen Sofia interrupted immediately and Diana sighed out
“I’m sorry your majesty,the baby wasn’t strong yet to withstand the stress….”
“The baby is gone,that’s what you’re trying to say” Queen Sofia said and lady Diana nodded
“I’m sorry your majesty” She bowed for King Lucian before going out of the suite.
Queen Sofia faced King Lucian
“What are you going to do about this? Matilda won’t take things well when she’s awake and I am feeling for her already,,I can’t deny that I’ve been happy since the day you told me she’s carrying your child,and now the baby is gone???” Queen Sofia sighed sadly
Lucina’s eyes were only on Matilda who was still sleeping soundly,she’s sure going to flair up once she’s awake.
He couldn’t understand why but he can’t deny that he’s sad about it,even though he had felt bad when he heard the news about her getting pregnant at first but he never wanted the pregnancy to go down either. No matter what,the child is his and he couldn’t deny the fact that he felt sad and angry at the same time.
“Stay here your majesty,I’m going to ask the maid some questions” Queen Sofia said before walking out.
King Lucian moved closer to Matilda and sat down on the bed while staring at her face,dried tears could be seen on her cheeks. He sighed and touched her forehead,he breathe out in relief when he found her temperature normal

Adelaide stood with her face down in front of the queen
“Answer my question and raise your head” Queen Sofia said and Adelaide looked up
“Did you do that intentionally??….”
Adelaide immediately shook her head
“No my queen,it was a mistake….”
“You’re lying!!! You witch!! I saw you push my lady!!” Esmeralda screamed,tears rolling down her eyes
“No..I didn’t push her. Please believe me” Adelaide broke into tears
“You’re a liar!,my queen she pushed my lady,I was right behind her when it happened,she’s a pretender!!” Esmeralda shouted in tears
“That’s not true,she didn’t push her on purpose,stop lying” Eleanor spoke up
“But you were not there!!!” Esmeralda screamed angrily
“But I know she will never do it….”
“That’s not true,I was watching too. My queen,Adelaide pushed the mistress on purpose” Another maid said
“That’s right my queen,she have always talked about how much she h@tëd the mistress” Nadia said and Adelaide looked up immediately in shock
“She really h@të the mistress a lot” Melita said
“I never knew the mistress was pregnant but she knew it all along” Another maid spoke up
All the maids continue talking,lying against Adelaide right in front of her but she couldn’t say a word. Cold tears rolled down her eyes as she listened to them,she never knew they h@tëd her to this extent.
She was wrong thinking it wasn’t deep but they just proved her wrong,she’s not wanted here.
Queen Sofia kept quiet while listening to the maids
“My queen,please believe me they are all lying” Eleanor broke into tears
“Stop talking as if you were there!! You’re her best friend,you’re only defending her you idiot!!” Esmeralda shouted
“Silence” Queen Sofia said softly and everywhere became silent immediately
She faced to Adelaide whose eyes were already red and blur from the tears
“Adelaide” She called and Adelaide looked up,she sniffed and wiped her tears
“Are they saying the truth?? Did you do that on purpose,and wait…do you know the mistress was pregnant?” Queen Sofia asked
Adelaide nodded gently
“So you really did it on purpose?” Queen Sofia asked
Adelaide started tearing up again,she knew it’s only going to be fruitless if she kept denying. All the maids are against her already,it will only make things worse if she deny again
“Yes my queen” She mumbled and Eleanor’s eyes widened
“I knew it!!! She’s evil!!!” Esmeralda shouted and almost rushed toward Adelaide
“Stop it!!” Queen Sofia yelled angrily and she moved back
“Guards!” She called and three guards appeared immediately
“Take off the royal bracelet from her and lock her up” Queen Sofia ordered
“No!!! Queen mother Please have mercy….Please” Eleanor went on her knees as tears rolled down her eyes
“Take her away” Queen Sofia said to the guards again and two of them grabbed Adelaide instantly,dragging her away
Queen Sofia also left
Eleanor stood up and faced the maids
“How can you all be evil as this?? How dare you all lie on her!!!” She yelled
“I hope she get punished and kicked out,that’s my only prayer” Nadia smirked at her
“What the h*ll has she ever done to you!!! Adelaide did nothing to you all…….”
“I h@të the fact that she’s serving the king,she took over my position!!!” Nadia yelled
“I h@të her,I don’t even have any reason but I always feel irritated anytime I see her” Another maid scoffed
“I h@të everything about her,I always wish she dies and stay out of my sight. I guess my wishes are coming true already” Another one said
Eleanor couldn’t believe her ears as she listened to them all,they kept on saying how much they h@të Adelaide without any specific reasons
All their reasons are so lame
“You all……are so evil” Eleanor muttered
The maids all walked away while smiling at themselves.
Eleanor almost lost her balance as she broke into more tears
Jimmy held her from the back and she turned to him,Jimmy stared at her shedding tears continuously and he couldn’t understand why his heart was racing as he watched that,he wanted to hug her and allow her cry on his shoulder but he controlled himself
“Did something happened?” He asked
Eleanor wiped her tears and sniffed
“Adelaide…..she’s in trouble” She said
“Huh? Trouble? What happened?” Jimmy immediately asked and Eleanor told him everything
“What?!That’s bad” He said
“I don’t know what to do,I’m so worried. I don’t want her to get punished” Eleanor cried
Jimmy sighed out
“It’s okay,stop crying. I’m sure she won’t get punished until the queen or king order that” He muttered
“But she’s locked up already,she’s not a criminal” Eleanor mumbled while wiping her tears continuously.
Jimmy sighed, controlling the urge to hug her
