The Queen Wicked Deeds - Chapter 74
Anne walked around the roads of the famous Tourist Spot of the Kingdom of Dulein. The houses and the streets were adorned with big sparkling letters luring the poor customers’ souls to a spree of consumerism. Maybe they will regret it when they arrive at their homes with the countless beautiful dog clothes and the many couple shirts with ridiculous patterns.
Yes, the streets of Dulein were filled with clients and sellers, clients and sellers, things to buy, things to eat, places to enjoy the view, places to eat with friends, and some other places to share in couple. However, even if Anne was getting many things for free and was recognized in almost every shop, the enthusiasm was getting out of control.
“May I have an autograph, my lady?”
“Could I be bold to ask you to sign this book for me, my Princess?”
“I am your biggest fan, please, my lady, just one handshake, and I will soar to the skies and live happily forever after.”
“Name my kid, please, my Princess.”
Some strange fans and some extremist fans kept popping out the whole ten steps, the most outstanding Princess of Lith came out from her carriage.
“I want vacations,” Anne returned to the castle with a tired face and countless gifts in the carriage. It is not that she didn’t enjoy fame, she was hella used to it, however, she had planned a full weekend with her dear friends at the festival, then into the many shows, and finally to sneak inside the casino to cheat some losers like the Wizard of Lith.
However, nothing came as planned and the many stalkers/ fans getting ready to ask her for an autograph and signatures were making her cry. Their over-enthusiastic shows of appreciation were a bit troublesome when she only wanted a relaxing moment with Henry under the lights of the streets and the peaceful roads.
“Princess Anne, we love you!”
“Please wave your hand!”
“Princess Anne!”
The many shouts coming from the window were almost making the windows tremble, and the rumbling on the ground was making the cup of tea shake and threatening to fall.
“I… Henry, my love,” she took the hands of the young Henry, and with her big golden eyes, she said in all seriousness, “I don’t think I will survive tonight, they want me, my dear. I will be eaten by those hungry creations of nature that want more than a smile, they… they want me to laugh happily. I don’t understand. My dear, I am scared.”
“…” Henry couldn’t help but almost smack his face. He looked at the window and walked to the balcony.
However, a hand stopped him, “what are you doing, my dear?”
“Saving you.”
“No, you can’t sacrifice yourself,” she gripped his hand with strength and pulled him towards her. “I can’t let you do that.”
“I am sorry, my darling,” he hugged and kissed her on her forehead, “but this is the only way, only with this, we will be safe.”
“No, please, this is too much,” she pulled his coat and he raised her chin to look at him. “My bride, wait for me.”
He said that and as if in a stop motion movement, he rushed to the window and opened the curtain to make the world see his face.
“Kya!!”
The many girls and young women that looked at the young man showing that beautiful smile fainted from the strong impact. The many medics that had to be called to the entrance of the residence of the Princess and her friends almost reached the dozens.
“Henry!”
Princess Anne pulled him back as the shining smile effect died out. “Are you okay, my bride?”
Anne made him rest on the couch as she sat on his ŀȧp.
“I am okay,” but she was pouting.
This time she couldn’t take it anymore. To make her darling take such a step and sacrifice his looks for a bit of peace was something she couldn’t tolerate anymore. This time, this called for the next part of the plans.
This time the evil Princess will make her debut in foreign lands.

Meanwhile, in the casino of the Great Dulein Mall…
“Sir, we have to ask you to accompany us to the exit.”
Two bulky men in black robes and expressionless faces were standing side by side Wizard Druon. Well, many had already reported how the man was cheating in every game and every table, and he was doing it with a big smile on his face. Not feeling any kind of remorse.
“I can’t go out, I am winning legally,” the shameless Wizard was right, they didn’t have any proof of him cheating and using magic on the games to control the result. However, many knew that he was doing that, no one knew how, but he had a history of past offenses.
“Take him to the underground dungeon.”
“Handcuff him and torture him until he speaks.”
“I volunteer myself for the task.”
The King of Lith, Prime Minister Prim, and the Duke of Mills were watching the show and couldn’t help but comment. For three straight hours, they had lost almost a million gold coins to that wizard, and if their wives notice it before they could win it back they will be in great trouble.
“You! You sore losers,” the wizard pointed at them and was about to conjure something when he noticed something on the back.
A woman with red hair and golden eyes. “Evelyn!”
The three men turned around and looked at the woman that had entered the casino with a white dress fitted to her delicate body, however, she was not alone, but a tall man with black clothes, dark hair, and emerald eyes, was accompanying her. He was surrounding her waist as if it was meant to be and he was smiling gently at her.
“Duke of Mills?”
The three men turned to look at the Duke that was as astonished as them.
“What is going on?” the King of Lith was about to take a step towards the woman when he noticed someone else on the side.
It was a woman with a luxurious purple dress, a big purple hat, and a golden walking stick. “Madame Lu, that is Madame Lu,” said Minister Prim.
It was widely known that Madame Lu, the best dressmaker was not only a simple designer but a powerful witch with the special magic to change appearances with a single move of her hand. She must have been invited by the Princess.
“Then, those two… Anne and Henry,” the King of Lith for the first time in his life felt as if the years had reached his body. He didn’t know what to feel, sadness for the sped his adorable daughter was growing up and looking every day like her mother but with the red hair like her father. It was as if he was given a glimpse of the future, and he couldn’t help but lower his head to hid his watering eyes.
“Julian… is this okay with you?”
Minister Prim looked at the couple walking side by side as if they were showing how the flirting had to be done.
“What?”
“That…” the Minister signaled at how Henry was keeping the tiny waist of the stunning Princess carefully inside his embrace.
“That… it is not right! Neo! My bow!”
Then after three seconds and when the King of Lith was also about to be expelled by two other bulky guards, another couple entered the room.
The ȧduŀt version of Ilian and Rose. Ilian looked so much like his father and Rose looked so much like her mother. The blonde beauty with the red-haired tall man were creating a splendid sight.
“Peter?” Minister Mills looked at the man that was about to erupt, and suddenly another two bulky men appeared behind him.
One more out, however, the only one inside the casino still was the silly Duke. However, when he looked at the message that came through his phone right then, he took the shameless and coward exit himself. Why?
Well, three wives were on their way to the casino. Better flee than to encounter an early death, even more, when those golden coins were not theirs, but their wives.

“When are you going to tell her?”
“I can’t, at least not now.”
Mellie was changing. Her beautiful appearance of a young boy was nowhere, now an ȧduŀt form was the one to replace the fragile appearance of a year ago.
“This is not good, Mellie,” Lily was with him and her beautiful red eyes were shattering tears with so much sadness, “Please come back with me.”
“No,” the voice of the man was now deep and husky. His hair was black and long and his eyes were red with a profound and mysterious aura. However, that was not the most outstanding of his appearance, but the sharp teeth, the sharp fangs on his mouth, and the beautiful black wings on his back. “I can’t tell her now, she is doing great, she will make it.”
“What if she can’t? What if she loses?”
“She won’t lose, she is fated.”
