The rise of the dark queen

The Truth (Part II.)

It's beautiful sunny morning. Grimhilde sits under her beloved apple three and thinks. She can't forget the disappointment what Snow caused to her at the other day. She is worried about the future of the kingdom. „What if Snow never learns about her mistakes? Then the kingdom's future will be destroyed." – she thinks. Then suddenly a sweet little voice breaks her thoughts.
-Mommy? – Four-year-old Auretta standing in front of her. – Everything is all right? You seem sad.
-Oh, Sweetheart, don't worry. I'm okey. – says as she picks her up an puts her next to her on the bench. – I'm sorry, I didn't have the time lately to be with you, but mommy has important tasks to do.
-It's my sister again, right? She was bad again? – she realizes.
- I have an idea! Why don't we spend some time together now? – Grimhilde tries to avoid the question. – Just you and me. Is it okey? – as she asks Auretta nods happily – I just have to do one more thing first. Isabell!
-Yes, your highness?
- Please tell the royal huntsman to come here. I want to have some word with him!
-Of course! – Isabell rushes to the huntsman's home and gives him the message who immediately goes to do her majesty's wish.
- Ah, there you are! Thank you for coming here that fast. I have a job for you.
-Yes, my queen! Whatever you want! – answers as he bows down in front of her.
-I want you to take my stepdaughter to a walk. Tell her she has to pick some flowers. You must make sure that nothing will happen with her! We don't want to anything happen with the future queen, right? – says sarcastically.
- As you wish! – answers the huntsman and follows Isabell led, to find Snow White.
-Now, that your sister is going out, we can have some mother – daughter time together PEACEFULLY. – says the end sarcastically again then hugs Auretta
*******
The huntsman does as the queen asked from him: he took Snow White to the nearest forest to pick flowers.
Snow felt like this gesture from Grimhilde is a gift, because she always liked the nature, the birds, flowers and singing while enjoying it. As she starts to complete her flower bouquet she hears some kind of grunt behind her back, so she decides to turn over and she suddenly sees a giant wild boar. Snow starts to run the huntsman's direction and screams as loud as she can. When he realizes what is happening, he pulls out his shotgun and kills the angry animal with just one perfect shot. When Snow sees this, she starts to form out her next horrible plan.
-I can't believe she did this to me– repeats this with fake nervous voice – I can't believe this.
-Princess, are you all, right? – asks the huntsman with worry in his eyes
-No, I'm not! What you saw here was my stepmothers plan! She enchanted that wild animal. She wants me dead to keep the throne. Can't you see? – says it nervously than stares into the huntsman's eyes. – I have to escape; I don't want to die! – starts to fake crying – help me. Please! – begs to him as she touches his arm. She can already see she bought the man.
-Listen. I shouldn't do it but, run!
-I have to write a note for her, that I really forgive her for this. She sits down and starts to wire seemingly short note than gives it to the huntsman – You will take that animal's heart, you will go back to the castle and give the news to her majesty, that I tried to threaten her life by asking help from you, so you did what you had to. Give this paper to her and no matter what DO not read this message! Understood?
-Yes, princess just run to be in a safe place! – as he says this out loud, she starts to run and disappears from the huntsman's eyes in the dark forest.

The huntsman goes back to the castle and do as the princess asked from him. As he goes in the room, he thinks about what just happened. Watching the queen as he goes in: She is in beautiful red laced dress; her hair goes down to her chest. She is just beautiful in her full presence. She does not look evil, more than self-confident and majestic, but not evil.
-I have a terrible news! The princess wanted to force me to kill you, so I did what I had to! – he shows up a rustic box and opens it.
As Grimhilde hears what happened she almost collapse. Can't even look at this lifeless heart. As he sees her reaction, he gets confused: how is that possible that the queen becomes that broken from her death if she wanted this.
-Please just go now! – she starts to cry terribly, not just because she lost a daughter, a future queen, she realized how much Snow hated her. She could kill the women who raised her up. This is just disgusting even from her.
- One more thing your highness! She wanted from me to give you this note, that was her last wish – he hands it over.
- Thank you! You can go now! – she waits until he goes than reads it:
