Chapter 2 Review one

Review one:

Queen Douce layed still, unable to cry anymore. Her eyes were close and everyone taught her to be asleep,and yes she was asleep, but deeply troubled. She had fallen asleep while wailing loudly for her only daughter.

'...'

Servants were standing watching her closely incase she wakes up and demands something.

And she'd woke, running her eyes over them and then she spoke.

"Bring the royal dress" Her voice low. Nevertheless they heard her, they were too shocked to move, finally the queen had decided to leave her chambers.

"Are you deaf?" She asked again, anger clouding her voice like she would eat them for disobeying her orders.

The maids quickly scurried off to the wardrobe in search of her dress.

Being dressed in full regalia, she looked magnificent, beautiful and noble. Without putting on makeups, she was indeed beautiful.

"I'm so pleased with the way you want to step out of your chamber today."

Her personal maid said with a smile.

"No, i'm going to the king's chamber."

She replied as she walked majestically out of her room. Yeah, she knew she can't possibly meet the king if not summoned but she cared less. Her only daughter's life was at stake.

The king sat quietly with books concerning the affairs of the kingdom. Those were needs and requests written to the king and after going through them, the king stamps them, sending them to his chiefs, the stamps proves that the king granted their wishes.

"Your highness, Dowager requests to see you."

Dowager is a name referred to first queens.

"Excort her back to her chamber." His voice cold and mean as always. The guard immediately turned around and left.

Immediately queen Douce heard it, she walked inside, while the guard ran after her.

She stood, her hand akimbo as the king watched her closely. The king was visibly raged that she had to come against his orders, he immediately ask the guard to leave and turned to the queen.

"What do you want ?, Douce."

His voice, hard as rock, if some guards were to be there, they'd be on their kneels now, well Dowager wasn't bothered.

Nana's mom layed flat on the floor, begging the king to let Nana live.

He remained adamant not to interfere in the matters of Nana.

He has no right to interfare in their marriage.

"Nana is married now" He blurtly told her.

"She's your child, my king" The queen's voice was heard. It came so low, unsteady and shaken. She had been crying since she heard the news of how Nana was caught in the act of escaping from her husband. She knew Nana was doomed yet she wanted to try her luck.

"And she's married"

"She didn't want to get married to him, you forced her, you didn't listen to her and now you allow them kill her?, because she was a woman?, my king, this is totally unfair." He stood up immediately, his eyes spoke of his rage and the queen shifted back in fear. For a while, there was silence, then he turned his back at her.

"I would like if you let me alone" And no one told the queen she had overstayed her welcome, she turned back and left.

Princess Eloise sat on her bed and wept.

"Why do you have to run?" She yelled angrily and threw the pillows on her bed away as the maids picked them up immediately.

She remembered that man, everyone knew him to be heartless and wicked. He was the prime minister of their tribe and so got away with so many things. She wrote further remembering the incidents that led to Nana's present situation.

One fateful day, as they were on their way back from the river, they met him. She noticed the lustful eyes he had for princess Nana and was right after this man touched Nana in one of the sensitive part of her body.

Nana had angrily given him a befitting slaps on his cheeks and walked away.

Months later, this man came back as her suitor. Nothing could be done in this case as according to their traditions, the village prime minister had the right to marry the first princess of the kingdom.

He married her, yes he'd married her. But the young princess had other plans, she tried running but unfortunately caught by the cruel chief. She was his wife and his alone and whatever punishment he decides would be done, not even the king has the right to save her.

'.....'

She heard noise downstairs and immediately jumped from her bed. She looked out of her window.

She saw Nana, dragged in with servants and her husband. She took a race downstairs as the maids ran after her.

Nana would had been whimpering turned and her eyes met Eloise's. Eloise was moved and started walking absentmindly to the figure on the floor. She bent down and touched her face, she closed her eyes and turned. Immediately, she saw something flashed through her visions, and her eyes snapped open immediately but was interrupted with the king's approach to the scene.

.............

"I wish but I can't save you...it's beyond me" She whispered softly to her ears.

"The royal highness has arrived" The king's presence was announced.

All bowed in respect as he made his entrance to the gathering. Both the two kids watched their father with pleading eyes though they knew it was fruitless.

"My king." Nana 's husband began.

"I greet you"....He paused and looked at Nana.

"Your daughter ran away from her matrimonial home, and as a husband to her, i've decided to punish her, but your majesty I thought it's very kind of me to let you know" He said, so proud of himself. Like he actually planned for this day.

"Deal with her as you please."

The king said, turned and left.

Immediately, he ordered his servants to take Eloise away from Nana. He made Nana kneel and within seconds, Nana was lying dead.
