Becoming A Queen??

"She woke up!" I yelled so loud that I bet the birds left their homes. " Yes Duchess Estella ." 

Janessa said parting her slice of vanilla cake. " What should we do now Estella?" Isabella says, 

looking at me. " I AM THINKING!" I say in a loud and irritated voice. "How about we expose her and 

king Victor's hidden secret." Janessa said, wiping all the crumbs off her mouth. " There's a secret 

they kept hidden!" Abigail stood up and slammed her hands on the table. " Yes, in fact it was super 

easy to find out when you have a servant who admires you and would tell you anything." Janessa 

crossed her arms with a devilish smile planted on her face. Yes, it would be good especially with 

her growing popularity with the commoners and nobles who love her very dearly. It would be a 

perfect way to ruin her reputation. Then Victor will be all mine I think to myself and smile. " I got it, 

let's expose this on the Christmas banquet where there will be all the nobles and commoners s

ince the king invites all kinds of people." Isabella shot up from her seat like she got the most 

brilliant plan. "Yes that's it!" I say happily. I turned over to Janessa and asked if she could get her 

fan girl servant to write her statement on paper. Once I said that I stood up and concluded the tea 

party.

"Your majesties, Viscount Burton is here." A soldier says from behind the door. Let him in, Victor 

says in a loud voice. To be honest I didn't know why I was summoned here. I was told just to come 

here because King Victor needed me but once I came here he told me to sit and wait. " Your 

majesties thank you for letting me be here today." Viscount Burton bowed to us. " No, thank you 

for being here to tell us what you discovered about Valery's incident and the mastermind behind it 

all!" King Victor paused for a few seconds to let me figure it out. " Go on Viscount." King Victor said 

letting him talk. " Your majesties, I discovered that the one to put poison in your majesty slice of 

cake was Abigail's chef. However when we confronted her she said she had orders to put in a clear 

liquid from a little clear bottle. After hearing that we investigated the liquid she was talking about 

and soon found out that it was arsenic, but that's not all. Once we were leaving her estate we 

heard maids talking about how they saw a dark hooded figure that looked like a merchant from 

the underground give Abigail a clear liquid bottle. As soon as we heard that we left to visit one of 

the markets and as soon found out that a maid made a purchase to buy arsenic and to have 

someone deliver it to the Count's estate. At first the person refused but then she showed a big bag 

of silver coins and so they agreed. Then we told the person what the name of the maid was but 

they didn't know. Instead they told us that she looked like a maid from nobility. Once we left we 

immediately started the process of elimination of the people who had well connections with 

Countess Abigail and we came across Duchess Estella knowing that she always had a crush on 

your majesty which made her a perfect match.''

" Thank you for telling us about this Viscount Burton, you may leave now." Victor dismissed him. 

Once Burton left Victor turned to me and grabbed my shoulders with a serious expression. " Be 

cautious of Estella, she is dangerous and her minions! Please! I can't lose you like I did with 

Helena. I can't lose my best friend" He dropped to knees and his serious expression turned into a 

state of despair. Tears rapidly came down his gray eyes. " Please stop crying Victor, it would make 

me cry too." I responded by wiping away his tears with my maid's uniform sleeve. Once I was 

finished I saw some blush in his checks. However I think that he realized what he was doing and 

quickly collected himself and stood up. " I'm sorry I shouldn't have done that." He said with his 

head down, and that's when I stood up from my chair and on impulse I hugged him tightly saying 

"It's okay don't worry keep crying I don't mind."

"But I am king and I can't cry."

" So who says that?"

" Everyone looks at me and because I am king I am supposed to be strong and lead my kingdom to 

greatness."

" Well, that's dumb of everybody's mind. Truth is that a "strong" male in society's eyes is strong 

but that's a lie because he isn't strong because I bet he thinks that it's not okay to cry so instead he 

hides it and what he feels. Now a "weak" man in society's eyes says that he is weak but in reality 

he is strong and that's because he lets his tears out and what he feels, he works his way to 

understand what he feels instead of hiding it." I say letting go of him.

"When did you become so wise?" King Victor says jokily while still crying. So instead of responding 

I let him be until he regains his composure.
