The Perfect Sin

chapter 10

Rebellion whispers inside the ears of the un knowing. She tells them of falacies and gives false hope. Rebellion thrives on chaos and she will not settle until all is lost.  These are the words of my father; this probably the wisest thing my father has ever said in his life. The people of the kingdom notice the onslaught of soldiers and knights especially the ones that begin to take lead and command. The nobles do not dare leave their homes for they fear the hand of the enemy. Every one knows that Vasily was defeated at the City of Walls, yet none know of my plans  for their fate. Will I kill off the remaining people or will I  rule in a manner unknown to them? The  trumpets blare through the air disturbing the peace and announcing the arrival of the Queen, the hesitant and confident both stop in order to greet the newly appointed Queen. Even the nobles want a glimpse of the monster that Vasily kept  caged up. With head held high and eyes on everyone, my companions and I  gracefully ride in on horses. The lead horse slows down so that all can etch this moment in history into their brains. Monster, demented, demon....those words vanished once their eyes fell upon their new Queen. I  kick Graystorm, signaling that I want to travel faster. Horse and human speed towards the castle, my previous prison. Previously controlling the throne is Arkady; he meets me at the door way. The young man raises his  right hand to his temple acknowledging Katya as his Queen and transferring power from himself to her. All around the people gather, wondering whether this day will be judgement day or will the gods bless them with favor.

Now that power has been bestowed upon my shoulders my ladies in waiting and  make our  way to the mass of subjects. Another speech is about to be given.

“Make note my subjects, today is the day, I Queen Yekaterina, have come to power and have unified the northern and southern kingdoms; you are now a part of the kingdom of Nalema.  No longer must you live in constant fear for I am sister, aunt, daughter, or mother to those that are under me. Judgement has been passed and you are blessed with longevity and peace.”

Everyone could not believe the words that came out of my  mouth. I am  going to give them a blessing instead of a curse. Their children will be able to have a future and the elder’s will be able to die natural deaths. After while some cheers were given and deities were sent praises. I  on the other hand could not rejoice; there is still so much to accomplish before I  can truly smile at my  accomplishments.  

It seems as if I walk on air as I  make my  way to the Palace. Every thing will finally fall into place and history will be made.

I wander around  the place I once called prison. Nothing has changed; the guards, the tables, the sad air. It is almost as if my girl hood has started all over again, but this time there will be change. I order the drapes to be burned, for the slaves to clean the walls, and for the cook to prepare a feast. Today is the day for change and when that time comes, all will know my power including the neighboring countries.

Tasks and chores are given out based on ability type; In my new world there is not going to be the slaves and the nobility, but there will be the Queen and her people. Anyone can become a knight or soldier, not just the rich. Once I ensure that all the preparations are complete, my three female companions and I follow the path leading to the dungeon. My father believed in treating his prisoners as royalty before allowing them to die a horrendous death. Such are the twisted ways of the older generation.

There in the farthest cell to the right an unearthly glow bathes us all in its light. Finally, the prize I have been waiting for is finally in my reach. My mother, who was once imprisoned, will now be set free. All these years she has whispered words to me, and letting me know of her freedom plans. Every thing has been planned from the war to me taking over the Kingdom. Her foretelling of the future has been triumphant and all she asks for is letting her come out of her prison. I can understand how she feels since Vasily locked me up to. We are united by blood, flesh, and the hatred for that man.
