Chapter 75 Chapter 75
Valerie pov ...
The dinner ended peaceful ,I decided to have a tea talk with Bethel in the garden , Ella came in with a tray with two tea cups . She placed it on the table and left .
" The weather is beautiful isn't it"
" Yes sure ,So when are you going back to stay with mama "
" Don't tell me you are chasing me away, Just like you did to lady Grace "
" Off course not , Am just asking ,I feel mama will be lonely that all "
" Don't worry about her , She's going to be fine ,I have an unfinished business here in the castle '
' Unfinished business , What do you mean by unfinished business "
" I told you ,I have someone am in love with "
" Yes I remember, You told me about him, is he here in the castle? "
" Yes he is "
" Really ,Give me his name and I will get you both married right away "
" Easy sister, Why are you in a rush to give me out in marriage "
" Am just happy for you "
She murmured something , That I didn't hear .
" Did you just say something "
" Oh no, I didn't say anything "
" Okay , Care for more sugar "
" Yes sure "
I picked up a cube of sugar and dropped it in her tea .
' You know the status of a queen looks good on you "
" Really thank you "
" So me Tell, How was your wedding night with your husband "
Immediately she said those words , My mind flashed back to what happened last night , Instantly I started blushing .
" Oh I see something wonderful happened last night "
" Stop talking nonsense Bethel "
" How was your husband in bed tell me '
" Bethel I think you shouldn't be asking me that"
" Why ,or May be I should try and see for myself"
"You are Talking nonsense"
" Am joking sister , Besides king Edward is now my brother in law , So I don't think it's right to have feelings for him "
" Bethel ,I think it's time you introduce me to that man "
" Don't worry yourself sister , You are going to meet him very soon "
" Okay I won't rush you "
I took a sip from my tea when suddenly I heard someone arguing with the guard ,I turned towards the direction to see where the noise was coming from. ,I was surprised to see lady Grace , arguing with a guard .
" Let her pass "
He moved aside ,and allowed her to pass through .
" I thought you most have left by now "
" Yes am leaving , But I want to tell you something before I leave "
" Please do lady Grace "
' You might have succeeded In taking me out of the castle today ,But you might not succeed next time , Besides you shouldn't see me as an enemy , because am only trying to take what rightfully belongs to me , But there are some people that are close to you trying so hard to take you out , Just to become queen "
" Thank you lady Grace ,I will make sure I put this advise to good use "
" If I where you My queen I will let the king take someone else as a second wife , You never can tell you might not be able to have a child for him "
" Says who "
" Am just saying , You never can tell what might happen"
" Are you done with your advice "
" Ah lastly , You should be careful of those who are very close to you ,they might turn out to be your greatest enemy "
She turned to look at Bethel then walked away .I stood still staring at her back until she disappeared .
" Sister what was that stupid girl talking about '
" it's nothing "
Lady Grace words keep echoing in my ears ,I took a sip from my tea and looked at Bethel who was busy looking at the flowers ,I kept asking myself so many questions .
" Does it mean Bethel still hates me ?, does it mean she is planning something against me? .So why is she still acting like as if nothing is happened "
" Valerie are you okay "
" Yes am okay "
" You seems lost what happened "
" Like I said before nothing happened am fine don't worry yourself "
I took a sip from my tea cup , But my heart was troubled , Just then a guard walked up to us .
" Your majesty , The king request the presence of your sister in his study room "
" You mean Bethel "
" Yes your majesty "
"No problems "
Bethel got up and immediately followed the guard , Why I sat
down silently thinking about lady Grace word .
Edward pov ....
I was busy in my study room , When I heard a knock on the door ,
" Come in "
Bethel and a guard walked in .
" My lord she's here "
" Good leave us "
He bow his head and walked out of the room leaving Bethel and I behind .
" Good afternoon your majesty , Am honor.......'
" Don't flatter yourself bethel ,I called you here for something important "
She walked towards the couch ,To sit down but I stopped her .
" I Never asked you to sit lady Bethel "
She felt so awkward , Then she stood straight .
" I called you here because you have overstayed your welcome , It's time for you to leave "
" Your majesty, My sister wants me around her "
" You mean you talked you sister into letting you stay so you can go through with your plans "
" Your majesty I think there is a misunderstanding here "
" There is no misunderstanding Bethel, I know what you are up to, But one thing you most know is that No one plot against my wife and live to tell the story ,So if you love and value your life go back home and leave a peaceful life don't try playing smart with me ,I have my eyes everywhere "
" Your majesty , You can't accuse me off doing something I didn't do ,I know I had grudges against my sister , But I have forgiven her "
" Really ,Cut the pretences , Bethel you are nothing but a poisonous snake waiting patiently In the dark to strike "
"I am only trying to get what my sister stole from me back "
" Then I think you will be dead before you lay a finger on her "
" Your majesty don't I look beautiful , What do you see in her, that I don't have"
" You are stupid to ask me that question ,I will pretend we never had this conversation ,Go back into your room pack your things and leave ,I hope am clear "
" Yes your majesty"
" Good get out "
She rushed out of my study room , And shut the door behind her ,I continued with my work pretending I never had this conversation with her .
