Chapter 32 Chapter 32
Valerie pov
I was shattered I felt my whole world crumbling before my face this is too much for me to bear , First it was Benita , My sister and now Eric ,I kept crying I felt like killing myself .
I really did not know when we arrived at the castle , The door of the carriage was opened and samuel walked up to me to lead me into the castle .
" Welcome back home My lady "
" Thank you sir samuel "
He kept staring at my face but I tried so hard to hide my tear .
" It's seems you had a wonderful time with your family Lady valerie , Perhaps My Lord would love to have a tea party with them when he returns "
" Ah it's nothing like that, Am tired I need to go and rest my head for a while "
I walked pass him and went into the castle ,I was walking through the hallway when I saw Queen hazel and Benita together ,I tried my best to avoid them but it seems fate was not on my side , Just then I heard valerie voice .
" Look who we have here mother the witch "
I bought down my head and bit my lips ,I tried to walk pass them but they stop me , This time it was the kings mother Queen hazel
" And where do you think you are going "
" Your highness am going to my chambers to rest"
" Ah mother look at her, She is talking to you with so much audacity, She need to be punished ,I really hate her guts mother she needs to know her place "
" Very truth Benita ,I really don't know what Edward saw in this slot that he likes so much "
" Mother please with your permission allow me to teach her a lesson she will never get in a hurry "
" Off course Benita you have my permission ,I really don't know why she's till in this castle ".
I stood there listening to them ,I was so angry that I couldn't say a word I kept staring at Queen hazel , Until she caught me staring at her ,I quickly averted my eyes from hers .
" I can see you don't have manners to look straight into my eyes right "
" I..I..am sorry My queen "
" How dare you ,"
Before I could say another word something hard fell on my face ,and I lost my balance , Couple with the fact I twisted my ankle ,I also got a slap.on my face .I was still trying to process everything that just happened when I heard Benita talking to queen hazel .
" Oh mother allow me to finish her my self "
" No child I don't want you to touch her ,I have been meaning to show her,where she belongs bitch "
" I stood up from the ground and looked at Queen hazel .
" With all due respect I am not a bitch ,I am not a slot and am not a whore ,stop calling me names and let me be ,I never wanted anything with your son he forced me here , Tell him to let me go "
" Ah look mother I think the kid just got a high spirit "
" I can see that child and I think the best way is to crash her and show her where she belongs "
" Exactly "
Just then sir samuel walked into the the hallway and rushed up to me .
" My lady are you okay "
" Am fine but I think my legs hurt "
" You twist your ankle please come with me I will call the physician to apply some ointment to it "
I held his hand and was about to move when someone grabbed my hair and pulled me to the ground ,I screamed in pain tears started flowing from my eyes .
" Where do you think you are going how dare you walk out on the kings mother ,I bet you are tired of living "
" Please lady Benita stop harassing the future Queen of Atlantis the king will not be happy about this "
" Really and who are you to tell me what to do "
" I am the kings right hand man "
" Haha , You are forgetting so soon samuel you are a slave any ways I don't need to talk too much "
I was still struggling to stand up when too guards came to help me stand on my feet and took me out of there presence ,I could hear Benita complaining about why the kings mother let me go . When I arrived at my chambers the physician came in and applied some ointment on my face and ankle ,I got into my bed but I couldn't sleep everything that has happened today kept playing in my head ,I couldn't believe Eric could cheat in me with someone else ,I went to his house so we could discuss and plan on how to leave this city , But I got the shock of my life .if anyone would have told me that Eric would do this to me I wouldn't believe it .
I kept tossing on my bed until it was morning ,I was about to sleep when I felt something cold pouring on my body I quickly jumped out of the bed .
" Are you still going to continue sleep or you want me to remind you that you need to serve me tea "
" Huh ,I beg your pardon Lady Benita but that's for the maids to do "
" Really so what are you then "
I kept quiet , Because I was still in pains my head hurts my leg hurts too .
" I need my tea hot , With enough cream and less sugar make sure it's ready in the next ten minutes and bring it to the garden "
She turned and left the room ,I stood there staring at nothing ,I quickly changed into something more comfortable and went into the kitchen ,I could hear the maids whispering among themselves .
" She is nothing but a whore ,See what she has be reduced too now the real queen is back to the castle "
Some of the maid had this pity look on their faces for me, Why some had this malicious look on there faces .
I couldn't stand being around them for too long so I quickly made the tea and left the kitchen .Walked into the garden and found lady Benita sitting in the middle of the garden with her friend when I arrived I placed the tea on the table and was about to leave when she stopped me .
" Stop right there "
I turned towards her .
" You called "
" Yes come stand in front of me so I can taste the tea and also you ask my beloved friend here Lady kate what she would love to take .
I was about to ask the lady who was sitting close to lady Benita for her order when sudden I felt a burning sensation on my hand immediately screamed out in pain .
" Ahhhhhhhh my hand "
" I asked for a creamy tea but no you gave me nonsense "
Tears was flowing down my eyes ,I was about to speak when the other lady spoke up .
" Let her be lady Benita "
" Why should I ? That's what you get when you try to get into the kings bed "
I was still screaming in pain when I heard a very familiar voice .
" What did I miss, While I was away"
