Ch-4

"Can I choose not to reclaim the title?" Lenora said to her in a docile tone.

Eudora: "..."

[I brought her up and now she is playing tricks with me.] Eudora thought and smirked at Lenora who was putting a show in front of her.

Eudora understood that she doesn't want to get married to the Werewolf King. If she doesn't reclaim her title… there was no way she would reclaim it. She was such a smart girl… that she sent all the soldiers first and the horse in the last. But Lenora forgot that… Eudora was the one who taught her The game of Chess.

"Oh my little Princess, Don't worry. I will take care of the trivial things. And you will be able to regain all your respect just like before." Eudora said.

"Queen Mother, I thank you for your benevolence. But I am afraid I am not worthy of all these things," Lenora said.

Eudora stepped ahead and stood beside Lenora. "Don't try to kill three birds in a single shot. That can kill you. These strategies would work between humans but not between Vampires and that too in front of me," Eudora said.

Eudora stopped whispering and faced Lenora straight in her eyes. "Don't forget who is the queen. And I am your mother, much older than you… I have seen all kinds. Maybe two years in that shabby wing made you turn into a fool. Don't turn into a fool.

"I need you to be strong and smart… After all, I need you to show your superiority in the other kingdom," Eudora said.

Taking few steps back, Eudora looked at Lenora with a smile that sent chills down her spine.

"I will take care of the rest of the things. Don't worry. Your breakfast will be sent here… My maids will take care of your breakfast and meals for today," Eudora says and leaves the place, waving her left hand. Eudora saw her intricate gloves on her hands which reminded her. Those were the same gloves Lenora made for Eudora. She smiled back at Eudora.

Lenora knew the person who was affected most by the incident two years ago was Eudora. But… she never showed it. She acted as if that didn't bother her. But she knew… how Eudora craved to know the truth. She asked Lenora time and time again only to know the truth. How could Lenora remember it… she forgot everything about that night.  She doesn't know what exactly happened.

She tried to find the truth but she realized it's a waste. No one helped her nor believed her. She was given the power or right to investigate the truth. Just because Emperor Azezal Laroch said that Lenora was guilty, no one gave heed to her.

She sneaked into her sister's room and tried to find the results. But she saw three pairs of footprints. But a certain pair of footprints were very unique. Before she could think more… she saw a few guards walking in her way. She knew who it was. Not wanting to face him she decided to walk away.

"Let's go the other way," she heard the harsh voice of her brother, hiding the hurt expression on her face. She quickly walked away.

Running back into her room, she closed her doors and sobbed covering her mouth with the back of her hand.

She remembered when her mother brought him to the palace saying he was her brother. She felt happy… During his transformation from human to vampire, Lenora took care of him. She was worried that he might die due to the intensity of the transformation as he was one of the youngest transformed vampires.

He took care of her, they both played along with their other sister. But in the end, they returned to the start as strangers. At least, Strangers have some respect and pity towards each other. But… he has nothing but hate. Lenora thought she was no longer affected by her brother's hate. But… she was still affected.

Wiping her tears clean, she walked towards her bed and slumped on her bed not caring about her manners.

Waking up, she realized she was in her old wing. In her habit, she walked here. Getting up, she neatened her clothes and walked to her new wing. She saw there were new maids, they were busy cleaning the room and adjusting the clothes. Lenora saw the untouched dishes on the table beside her bed. But she said nothing, she went to the bathroom and splashed cold water on her face.

Walking out, she saw the maids were acting all obedient. She didn't see the maids in the morning. A small faint smile formed on her face, which she easily covered in seconds.


"My Lady, Shall I reheat the dishes?" a maid said to her.

Lenora opened the plates of the dishes and frowned. "Let the kitchen staff remake the dishes again," Lenora said. The maid wanted to say something but when she remembered Eudora's warning she shut it again.

"Tell them… if they can't make the dishes properly from now on, I will be sharing my every meal with the Queen Mother," Lenora said.

The maid gulped and went away taking the dishes away.

Indeed, fallen queen, former queen, once a queen… despite all they were still a queen. And Lenora was still a princess from royalty.

The other maids ducked themselves away from her and continued to do their work. She was really scary as the rumors said two years ago.

After nearly forty-five minutes a maid and two people from the kitchen came along with the dishes.

When the kitchen staff heard the maid's words, they shivered. They thought they could create problems for the princess. But looks like, creating trouble for her was equal to creating trouble for themselves.

They quickly started cooking with the readymade items they had and reheated the dishes which were good to eat. The chef sent two people from the Kitchen to accompany the maid to Lenora's wing.

"This dish is a reheated one," it's not a question but a statement.

"Looks like my words hold no account. Hmm... I will be sharing my meals with the Queen Mother from Lunch," Lenora said.
