The Sun and Moon

Part 9 : Bluebell's Secret and Freedom

Anna Shaina's POV :
Here we are at our room. Kira is leaning beside the wall near the door. Tia and Pia just came back to my room because they said they forgot to take something while the other ones are silently sitting in front of us.

What is this ? About your family secret. Curiously asked by JD.

19 years ago, the Moon kingdom is peaceful as ever. Tia

Flashback :

Pia : The king, our father was married to the most beautiful woman in the country but one day the king stumbled upon a maid.

Oh, I'm so sorry, your majesty. I didn't mean to run into you.

Its all right. Stephen

I'm really, terribly sorry

Tia : Her name is Christina. Our father fell in love with her because of her clumsiness and her brave personality. But one day the queen found out about it. Our father was married to the queen because of politics. Of course our father doesn't love her but the queen did. Curious about the woman the king asked information about her.

Her name is Christina started working here for about five months ago. She has two daughters. Her husband died because of a incurable disease. Is that all you need, your majesty ? Phillip

That will be all. You can go now. Stephen

I understand. Phillip

Anna Shaina : The king became friends of Christina and her daughters. He finally confesses his love but Christina was too afraid to love again. The king didn't give up but tried his best to convince her until she also fell in love with him. In our kingdom the king having two or three wives is permitted. They wedded and bore a child. The kingdom rejoiced but also some despised it because that girl has strange features.

Pia : The queen was devestated. Because of jealousy the queen bullied Christina. For she was born of low lineage and has been working as a maid. It became worse when the queen also mocked Christina's daughters and their friends.

End of flashback...

Christina couldn't take the pressure anymore and killed herself that night. The queen rejoiced that night but because of alcohol the queen also died. Pia

When they were being buried some citizens and officials came and started to put the guilt on Christina but the one who took almost all the criticism was her youngest daughter for they are accusing her as a curse to the kingdom because of her moon-like color hair. Tia

When I looked at them after they heard the story. They were expressionless and quiet. Now, who would smile if someone heard their friend's dark past.

I'm really sorry Shaina for accusing you about my brother's death. I didn't know that you've been through so much. Sheila

It must have been hard on you. Theo

I'm sorry I can't ease your pain. Keith

Thank you.

I smiled at them but I don't hear anything from JD. Kira noticed it and made everyone go outside the room so the two of us can talk.

Hey, can you say anything ?

I'm really sorry Asha for not knowing. It must have been hard on you and your sisters but since I'm here now you can have someone to lean on if you have worries, all right ? John Dale

He putted my head on his shoulders. I was glad that I told them about my past.

All right. I was happy JD. I was happy that when I came to the Sun kingdom I was accpeted gladly. I can freely walk in the street. You gave me that happiness JD. Thank you.
