The Devil In Guise - Chapter 125

The Author’s POV

Queen Natasha was disturbed ever since she heard about the news. What really shock her was Queen mother Daria’s decision. The old woman was going to allow Stefan and Angelina. This means princess Amara would get a divorce.

Not fair! She got so much gold from Amara ever since she moved to the palace. If the princess stayed in a palace for another year, her jewelries would be half of what queen mother Daria had.

The queen was the woman with the most jewelries in Akkad. If She wore a gold today, the next day, she would wear a emerald. Another day, she would wear a Diamond.

This made her more famous. Queen Natasha was jealous of her mother in law and wanted to take her position by all means.

She won’t be selfish by doing that. By the way, queen Mother Daria did same to her grandmother. Only her and Lincoln knew what the Queen did.

Even the king’s mysterious death confused her. She suspected the queen mother for this. The old woman was capable of doing anything.

Opening the door of her room, queen Natasha went to check how princess Amara. The poor girl loved the wrong man . Stefan was a good man but he always does what he wanted. People called him the rebellious prince of Akkad.

He did not actually stand in the way of his brother and mother. The young prince only refused to be controlled. He preferred living like a free bird instead of a caged one.

Queen mother Daria wanted to control all her children. She wanted them to fear and respect her. The royal family were tired of the way she controlled them. Even the wives of the king was controlled by her.

Stefan was the only one who refused her commands and silly instructions. And he ended up with the name- the rebellious prince.

As for Lincoln, he was a pawn for the queen mother to use. Some times, queen Natasha wished she was not married to the king but Stefan. Most of the decisions, were made by the queen mother instead of the king. He was weak.

“My queen” the guard at the door of princess Amara greeted with her head bowed. She hated when they referred to her as just Queen. She was the first wife of the king and also the first give birth to a male. Even after having three boys, it seemed the queen mother did not still want her to be respected.

Queen mother Natasha. That was it! Not just some random queen.

“I want to see the princess is she in?”

“Yes queen Natasha” he allowing her to pass.

She was greeted by a music. There were two musicians in the room playing instruments. It seemed the princess did not know that her husband was planning to marry again.

Princess Amara was sitting on the bed with a cup of wine in her hand. Her eyes were shut as she danced to the rhythm of the song.

It seemed like she shut the world and sold her ears to the godness of music.

Queen Natasha had to dismissed the musicians, before the princess opened her eyes.

She was surprised to see Queen Natasha in the room. “Greetings elder sister in law. I was not expecting you”.

‘How will you expect me when you are enjoying your self alone’ She muttered.

“I came to see how you are doing but I am surprised that you can handle the situation on ground” Queen Natasha said, moving to where the princess. “Or haven’t you heard the latest news?”

“What news ?”

Queen Natasha shook her head with pity. Poor girl, she was here entertaining herself with music and wine , when her marriage was fire.

“Stefan is going to marry Angelina and queen mother Daria is the one who gave those orders” Queen Natasha told her. But Princess Amara did not change her expression. Rather , she let out a laughter instead.

“You are pained, aren’t you?” Queen Natasha was furious but quite confused. The princess did not love Stefan like she thought. What a waste time , trying to bring them together. “You don’t love the prince.”

She stopped laughing and look at the woman standing in front of her. What was she saying? The love she had for Stefan was more than what queen Natasha felt for both her husband and children put together.

When the marriage proposal was sent to her father, she did not wait for a day before saying yes to marry Stefan.

Princess Amara wanted a man like Stefan. When she was sixteen, there was a ceremony that brought her to Akkad. Prince Stefan was with his grandmother. That’s how she felt in love with him.

The creator wanted them to be together that’s why he made Lincoln to sent a marriage proposal to Red Valley.

“Do you know how much I love Stefan? I can do any thing to have him all ti my self. Even if it means taking my last breath with him , I will gladly do my life for him.”

Crazy brat.

Queen Natasha was not sure if she understood her last words. But from what she heard the princess was still crazy about the prince. Which called for no alarm but why did she laughed at first?

“I am sorry that I misunderstood you. But why did you laugh?”

“Because I have a plan B install for them. They won’t get married, I promise you that” Princess Amara stood up from the bed with pride. She poured wine in to a cup and handed it over to queen Natasha.

“Thank you but I don’t still get it” she sipped from the cup. She was totally lost here.

“When I heard about the marriage arrangements and how queen mother Daria was planning to unite them, I did not blame her. Any mother would do same for her grand child but…” princess Amara paused and sat on a couch. “As for the prince and Angelina, they are wrong and for that I won’t sit back here and watch them get married.”

She was going to punish Stefan for committing adultery despite being married to her. He had never look at her as his wife. Any time she tried to go close to him, he avoided. So painful ????.

Angelina committed adultery and fornication. She slept with another man’s wife and also pregnant. Her punishment was going to be three times Stefan’s own.

“So what is the secret plan B?” Queen Natasha interrupted her thoughts.

“I went to the streets. It’s was dirty but I had no choice. There was this woman I met” princess Amara explained. She told me everything about Angelina.

“How does that subtract our problems?” She asked with her brow furrowed in confusion.

“Queen Mother Daria once told me that she hated witches and would never allow one of them, close no matter the situation.”

“Yes , everyone in Akkad knows that. The Royal family does not accept witches but why all these?” Queen Natasha Wondered. “Go straight to the point please.”

“I found out Angelina is a witch” Princess Amara replied in a low tone. She did not want others to hear it.

“What?” Queen Natasha’s eyes widened. She did not want to believe the princess. “What are you saying Amara?”

“I have evidence. Angelina is from the seven coven, queen mother Daria can do her search.”

The princess was confident which means she was saying the truth. She smiled and spoke “then what are you waiting for? I will help you break the news to mother.”

“You can help me by making sure that Stefan is present. Bring him to the courtyard when it’s evening” princess Amara said. “I will be waiting with mother.”

Queen Natasha nodded. It was not going to be easy but she was glad that she could be of help again.

**

“Why did you bring me to the courtyard ?” Stefan asked , queen Natasha. She told him that it’s was an urgent matter. But when he came here, he saw mother and princess Amara discussing.

“Amara has something for you. I don’t know what it is. But I think it’s important” Queen Natasha lied.

He hoped she was saying the truth.

“Greetings mother” he said, as he drew closer. She smiled when she saw him.

“Come and give me my evening kiss” Queen mother Daria said. He went forward and laid a kiss on her cheeks. “Thank you. Please sit down.”

“I am fine” he refused to sit. “Amara we are listening to you.”

Princess Amara sighed. He did not even bother to ask if she was fine!

“It’s about Angelina” She said, looking at Stefan, who frowned at her for mentioning his lover’s name. “Mother, the villagers are saying she is from the seven coven.”

“What?” Queen mother Daria stood up from the seat.

“Ask Stefan, I am not lying” Princess Amara added. The woman said Sigurd and Mustapha were aware of it. Which means he knew too.

The queen mother turned to him and she saw the guilt on his face “You knew about this ?”

“Mother, she is different. Angelina is a good witch” Stefan defended his lover. “Most of the men, she hurt was as a result of her helplessness. Can you imagine they wanted to rape that inno…”

“Shut up Stefan” his mother interrupted. “Witches ? In my family, under my watch? Never! It’s over my dead body.”

Stefan knew that the wedding was going to be cancelled. He was not going to forgive Amara for this.

His hands clenched in to a fist. He wished she was boy, he would have punch that ugly face of hers!
