PRINCESS MAISARAH : THE ENGLISH TRANSLATION

PART 4

Maisarah entered her mother's bedroom. Her face was expressionless. She came here because she was summoned by Queen Ummu. Otherwise, she wouldn't have entered here. Facing Queen Ummu was something Maisarah didn't want, but she had to remain calm. As long as Queen Ummu didn't provoke a conflict, Maisarah wouldn't start one.

"Did you call for me, Mother?" Maisarah asked deliberately, hoping to divert Queen Ummu's attention away from her back.

"Yes," Queen Ummu replied tonelessly.

Just as Maisarah was about to respond, Queen Ummu suddenly turned to face her, and without a word, a strong slap landed hard on Maisarah's smooth cheek. Maisarah couldn't hold back, she fell to the floor with a painful cry. Her right cheek was quickly covered. Her eyes widened in shock.

For a moment, Maisarah felt her world go dark. Her mind was blank, devoid of any memory. Yet, her heart throbbed painfully. Her eyes trembled with disappointment. Her cheek burned hot, stinging, and glowing. Maisarah never imagined that her face would be attacked by Queen Ummu's hand tonight.

Maisarah slowly looked up at Queen Ummu with teary eyes. Her body trembled with rage. Maisarah tried her best to restrain herself from screaming in front of her mother. No! She couldn't show her emotions in front of Queen Ummu.

Queen Ummu would think she was easily broken.

"How dare you disrespect the Crown Prince of Vhagar, Maisarah Az-Zahra?!"

"Where is your decorum in front of the Crown Prince?! How dare you insult him to such an extent. What should I answer to His Majesty the King of Vhagar?! Is there a mother who doesn't know how to educate her daughter about palace etiquette?!"

Maisarah clenched her fists. So, Tengku Qayyum informed about this? Hah! Is this supposed to be her husband? Tengku Qayyum dared to use his mother to bring her down like this.

Maisarah gritted her teeth.

I hate you, worthless man. Maisarah's inner self screamed in anger.

Maisarah smirked cynically. Slowly, Maisarah rose again. Damn it. Queen Ummu's slap made her legs slightly wobbly to stand back up.

"So, he complained to you. What else did he complain about? Got teased by me? Hm?" Maisarah sneered without fear of being slapped again by Queen Ummu. Wait until they meet again. Maisarah would make Tengku Qayyum kneel in front of her to beg for forgiveness.

Because of that slap, her cheek was scratched. Perhaps because of the ring Queen Ummu was wearing. Useless. Her beautiful cheek was marred with this injury.

Maisarah wiped away the trickle of blood on her cheek. Her emerald green eyes glared fiercely at Queen Ummu. Maisarah chuckled softly as she saw her blood.

"Don't be insolent to your mother. Do you want me to confine you to the underground chamber again?! Don't test my patience. What you've done is already embarrassing for Carran!"

"Hm? Embarrassed?" Maisarah tilted her head to the side. A corner of her lip curled up. "Vhagar should be embarrassed because the Crown Prince couldn't keep his hands off me. I was generous enough to douse him with sweet water instead of breaking his hands." Maisarah's heart chuckled cruelly at her fabricated story.

If Tengku Qayyum could do it, Maisarah could step it up.

"What?!" Queen Ummu exclaimed. Her eyes widened hearing Maisarah's seemingly truthful words. Instant regret crept into Queen Ummu's chest. Oh God, had she made a mistake?!

"W... what do you mean?"

"So, mother already knows the reason, right?" Maisarah said sarcastically, raising her eyebrow. Good! Permaisuri Ummu was too foolish to believe her words. Maisarah couldn't wait to see Tengku Qayyum scolded by Permaisuri Ummu.
