★THE BRIGHT SIDE★
TWO DAYS LATER**
It’s been two days since the incident,after Matilda received the most painful punishment ever,the king gave an order and she was exiled from the palace.
The palace seems to be more quiet now,it’s all calm and cool.
Lisa and Suzy Walked out of the room,she’s also leaving the palace today as ordered by the king. A palanquin was outside waiting for her already.
“I’m going to miss you” Suzy muttered
“Me too” Lisa said and Suzy hugged her tightly
“I will definitely find ways to meet you some times,I promise” she said
“I will be waiting” Lisa smiled
They hugged one last time before Suzy entered the palanquin
“Can we leave now,my lady?” The carriers asked
Suzy waved at Lisa again
“Yes you can” She finally said and they took off immediately.
Lisa stood there,staring until the palanquin was totally out of her sight
She sighed and turned back only to see Eleanor standing there with her arms crossed
“Hey…..”
“I see your friend is finally gone princess” Eleanor said and scoffed before turning to leave
Lisa immediately grabbed her hand
“You can’t leave,we are friends” She said and Eleanor frowned
“I don’t think so” She said and snapped her hand from Lisa before walking away
“Hey Eleanor!” Lisa followed her
“Wait!! Listen to me okay?”
She continue following her till they got to her room,Eleanor didn’t wait,she entered her room,before she could close the door Lisa entered with her
“Why can’t you just stay away like you’ve been doing for the past few days!” Eleanor shouted
“I’m sorry” Lisa said
“Sorry? Just because Suzy left now……”
“Why can’t you just try to understand me?? I know I was wrong neglecting you guys,but second options…..”
“No Eleanor,that’s not it. If I had ignored Suzy just like everyone else,that wouldn’t be nice. We were good friends,I wish you guys got along well too,she’s actually a sweet person if you get to know her,I’m just saying…….I’m sorry Eleanor,forgive me okay? You can’t start ignoring me too,you are all I’ve got now,Adelaide is mad at me” Lisa pouted
“I’m also mad at you” Eleanor roll her eyes
“Come on pretty,you know how much I love you right?” Lisa asked and Eleanor squinch her nose
“Fake” she scoffed
Lisa hugged her immediately
“I love you” She muttered
Eleanor smiled and hugged her back
“I love you too” She said
“So now,we are cool?” Lisa asked after they broke the hug
Eleanor nodded and they sat down
“Now I’m left with Adelaide” Lisa groaned and fell on the bed,
“How about making her a special dish?” Eleanor asked and Lisa sprang up
“Really??”
“Yeah,let’s do that. Trust me” Eleanor winked at Lisa immediately nodded

ADELAIDE’S SUITE**
“My lady…..”
“Leave” Adelaide cut Mia off before she could finish
The maids exchanged glances
“But my lady,you have refused to eat,please eat something at least” Eva muttered
“I don’t have an appetite,just leave me alone okay?? Go away” Adelaide said and covered herself up with the duvet.
The maids walked out of the suite and seconds later,King Lucian came in
“I told you all to leave me alone” Adelaide groaned
Lucian sat down with her on the bed and she raised her head up
“Lucian” She called
“Are you okay?” Lucian asked
“You left me all alone” She pouted sadly
“You told me to stay away from you,I couldn’t stop thinking about you but you kept pushing me away” Lucian replied
“You think I really meant what I said? I missed you” She mumbled and got up on the bed,she sat on Lucian’s laps and wrapped her arms around his neck
“I missed you too,but you need to eat …..”
“I can’t,I don’t have any appetite to eat” Adelaide cut in immediately
Lucian held her waist
“I don’t want you to fall sick,you don’t feel anymore pain in your tummy right?” He asked
Adelaide shook her head
“I’m fine,,can we just stay this way??” She muttered,hugging him more tightly
Lucian also enwrapped her waist with his arms
“I love you” He said and kissed her neck
Adelaide smiled but she didn’t say a word,she closed her eyes without letting him go.
They stayed in each other’s arms for more minutes before Carl’s voice came from outside but instead of letting go,Adelaide held him tighter
“Adelaide…..”
“No,I don’t want to leave you” She muttered
“I will be back,I promise okay?” Lucian said
Adelaide groaned
“Seriously? You missed me this way and you kept pushing me back?? Such a drama queen” Lucian smiled
Adelaide broke the hug and fell back on the bed,Lucian tried kissing her but she turned her face away
“Just go” She rolled her eyes
“Are you angry with me now? Should I just cancel the meeting and stay with you?” King Lucian asked
“No,you can go” Adelaide replied
Lucian pecked her cheek and walked out
“Your majesty,everyone is waiting already” Carl said as he got outside
“Then,let’s go” King Lucian said and Carl followed him immediately
They walked to the court room together
“Your Majesty!” The councils and ministers all stood up immediately they came in
They waited until the king sat down before they also sat down.
One of the ministers got up again
“We are here to talk about the coronation your majesty” He bowed and King Lucian nodded
“Before the preparation,we would like the king to pick the day,your majesty are you ready for the coronation because we can’t wait any longer to have the future queen crowned” He added and others agreed
“I can’t wait too,so we don’t have to take long on it” King Lucian said
“Yes your majesty,we will proceed on picking the date”
