Henderson didn’t go to Naples that night, he had a sleepless night. Thinking about what happened and how Saanvi betrayed him. He came out of his bedroom and one of the royal guards came to him and informed him about the guards from Naples. He wasn’t surprised, he told his guards to release them over to the Queen’s royal guards. Immediately they did as they were told. And they drove back Naples.
Amelia ordered the guards to lock them up. They took them to the dungeon and locked them up. After some time Queen Amelia and Jerry went to the dungeon. She asked him to bring her out. Amelia was seated and Saanvi was sitting also.
“Why are you doing this to me? I thought all these Sh|t are over. Why would you want me dead?
“Do you want my kingdom? You’re heartless. Yes. You’re heartless. Not just me, you want to kill my child too. And innocent soul, he doesn’t deserve it. He knows nothing about our fight.”
Talk to me and stop being quiet. For Christ sake.
It’s true that I h@tëd you. But I will never stain my hands. I will never try to kill someone. Why? Why would I do it?
“Because you love the king.” Amelia replied. “I used to love him. But not anymore. I have moved on with my life. Even though I haven’t seen someone who deserves me. You know nothing about me.” She said
“I’m not here to hear your story.” Queen Amelia said. “Yeah. You are here to know the truth. I have just said it.”
“But she is your personal maid.” Amelia said. “Yeah. But I never knew that she will betray me.”
“What do you mean?” Amelia asked, confused. “Can’t you see? I gave her everything she wanted. Though the king do pay her every month. I do pay her too, because I thought she was good. Maybe you should go back to her and ask her. This is a setup” Saanvi said.
“And what if she still say that you are the one. That you are the one who sent her.” Queen Amelia said.
“Then kill me.” Saanvi said. Amelia stood up and tell the guards to lock her up. She left with Jerry.
Amelia and her personal guard, went to her. She smiled on seeing them. Amelia glanced at her guard again. Stella stood up, smiling at her.
“Who are you working for?” Queen Amelia asked.
“You wanna know who am working for.” She replied, laughing. “Sure you will know. I mean I will tell you.”
“Please leave us.” Amelia said. “But, your majesty…” Jerry tried to protest. “Do as I say.” She commanded. He bow and walked out of dudgeon, but not too far. “Tell me.”
“And what if I say no?” She replied, laughing. “You’re so stupid, thinking that I will tell you, who am working for.”
“Jerry.” She called. “Your majesty.” He replied and walked in, Stella smiled foolishly. “Tell the guards to torture her.” She said.
“Even if they do. You won’t know.” Stella yelled at her. She didn’t bother about what she said and left.

“Something doesn’t seems right.” Jerry said. “Yeah, because she is not saying anything. She is not saying that Saanvi was the one who sent her.” Queen Amelia muttered.
“Your majesty, please give me your orders. Someone like doesn’t deserve to live.” Jerry said.
“Jerry, chill. Am sure that the person who sent her will come by his or her self. And he will die in my hands.” Amelia said, confidently.
It’s been three months now. And I haven’t gone a personal maid.” Queen Amelia muttered.
“I can get you some young girls from Naples. Your majesty.” Jerry said. “No. I don’t need them.”
“I need some rest. We will talk about it later. Please leave” She added. He bow and left it wasn’t up to a minute he returned back to informed her that the councils are here to see her. They heard the news of what happened and that the people responsible for the crime are here in Naples.
Queen Amelia went to meet them and they talked about the suspects, Amelia told them that she is the handling the case.
“Your majesty. Is it stressful? I mean we can help you out.” Jacob said. “Your majesty, he is right.”
“Don’t worry. It’s not stressful and I will be fine.” She said and thanked them for coming to check on her.

Amelia was seated on a bench in the garden and her personal guard was with her. “I told you the other day that I wanted a maid. A personal maid.” She said.
“Yes, your majesty.” He replied and bow. “And now I have seen someone.” She said and looked at him.
“Give me your orders, your majesty. And I will go get that person immediately.” He said.
“Sure I will give you my orders. Go to the dungeon, release Saanvi tell her that she will serve the Queen from now on.” She said.
“Your highness. I…can’t do that..” He stuttered in fear. “Why?” She asked and stood up, he was on his knees.
“Your majesty. She is trying to kill you. You can have my head.” Jerry said. “Well, I didn’t caught her in the act. I trust her.” Queen Amelia said and walked out of the garden.
Jerry stood up and went to the dungeon as instructed. He released her and took her to the chief maid. Saanvi stood there looking at the woman, a tear dropped and she quickly wiped it off. She thought she was about to be hanged.
“You should be happy.” The woman said. “Pardon..” Saanvi uttered. “You will be working for the Queen. You will be her personal maid from now on. Many people want this position.” The woman said and shakes her head.
“What do you mean, by many people want this position?” Saanvi asked. “Oh gosh.. You asked too much questions. Go take your bath and go to the Queen.” The woman said.
Saanvi took her bath with the help of the other maids, they dressed her up and she went to the Queen.
Amelia was in the room, when she walked in. She noticed someone was there, she looks up and saw her standing and then looked away from her, she was staring at the window. “Your majesty..” Saanvi called.
“Get me juice.” Amelia said. Saanvi bow and left. Some minutes later she returned back with juice on the tray. Amelia collected it and sipped from it. She smiles and looked at her again.
“You don’t look bad.” Queen Amelia said. “Thank you.” Saanvi said and bow. “Let’s talk about you.” Amelia muttered. “Me?” Saanvi asked, surprised.
“Yeah. You. Tell me more about you.” Amelia said. Saanvi sighed and began. “I was married to someone who doesn’t deserve me. He left, I mean he traveled out of the country and I was left alone. He didn’t bother to come back. I waited for two years, thinking that he will come back and take me along with him, but he didn’t. I met king Henderson when I was 18 and we have known each other for years now. It’s 5 years now. Am 23 now and am just hoping that someone will come.”
“You liked him, Right?” She asked. “I used to love him, but then you came and find out that you are the one he wants. I was angry. Am sorry. But am good now, thank you for showing me that love doesn’t work this way.” Saanvi said.
“You’re still young and beautiful. You will get someone who deserves you. Not like me pregnant and fat.”
“Your majesty, don’t say that. You’re beautiful and you have a good heart.” Saanvi said. Amelia smiled and nods slowly.
“Is there any other thing you would want me to do?” She asked. “No, I just want to have some rest.” Amelia said and went to bed.
