Mahnu, An Immortal's Journey

Chapter 50

Seeing the thoughts and feelings from the Queen, Mahnu was upset that the Queen and Thomas could not have been together. Having remembered previously, quite some time ago, she had wondered if arranged marriages worked or not, she saw that by the look of this particular one, with the King and Queen...It hadn't...

If the Queen had not married the King, back then...Would she had met Thomas at some point? Or someone else...And had lived better then now?

Having been full of her father's wishes and words, the Queen seemed to have become someone that hardly lived to enjoy life. She was afraid...

Afraid that her father was right, and she should do all that she had to do to keep the King's attention on only herself. But...Since she had been hurt by the King and had felt wronged...Mahnu couldn't blame the Queen of going down the path that she had. It was because she was brought up to make the best of her situation as the Queen, and as doing what she wanted...

The only thing to do...Was let the King, her husband, deal with her. As a third party, Mahnu felt like she couldn't interfere any further. In fact...Mahnu was starting to wonder if revealing the Queen's secret was a bit harsh now.

The Queen might have had an affair and gotten pregnant with another man's child, besides her husband, but...Perhaps it was still too much...

Having been provoked, and recently been in bad circumstances, Mahnu was feeling very defensive and knew that it couldn't be helped any longer...The King will have to take over now...

No! The Queen thought in sudden panic.

She had come here without His Majesty's consent, she had wanted this girl under her, before she returned to the palace. She had wanted to scare her and have her answer her every command!

If that wasn't going to happen then she would find any excuse to get rid of her! But...This wasn't working...Proof...She would need proof!

...There's nothing! Ha! What am I afraid of!? Bring the King! Let him see this girl make a fool of herself and have no choice but to kill her for slandering the Queen! Haha!

Not only that, wouldn't it also make him not like her? Perhaps this silly, little girl will be abandoned after today!

Finding herself calm once again, the Queen smiled smugly at Mahnu. Girl, you have just killed yourself!

Mahnu just stared right back at her...She wasn't sure whether she should pity the Queen or frown to the Queen's foolishness...

They waited near an hour, for the King to arrive at Mahnu's residence. He raced into the sitting room and went straight to Mahnu, not sparing a glance at the Queen.

"Mahnu? Are you okay?" He asked checking her attentively.

The Queen was shocked! "Your Majesty!"

The King turned to the Queen, finally, and she could see that he was unhappy. "What are you doing here?"

"Is she not a consort? I came here to formally invite her into the palace. As Queen, is it not my duty to do so? Instead, this girl slandered the Queen of this nation, I demand justice!"

"Are you in denial? Will you continue your lies...Queen of the nation?" Mahnu's voice rang out in righteousness, making others see that power over a title was being used.

"Lies?" King Richard asked, wondering what was going on.

"I have no need to speak. This girl wants my position! She does not deserve to be by your side, Your Majesty!" The Queen pointed to Mahnu, looking just as righteous as Mahnu.
