Voiceless Prince

chapter twelve: the kings plea.

MELISSA'S POV

Melissa was still in her room, still sobbing for her dead dog. But common it's like five days since she died, how could she still be sad, I guess justice was more than a pet to her.

She was still on her bed when she heard a knock on her door.

"Go away, am not hungry how many times will I say it", Mel said throwing a pillow to the door. Then she heard a familiar voice.

"Its mother melissa", Mel's mum said, still behind the door. This made Mel jump up from her bed with excitement.

"Mother!", she said running to open the door immediately. "Mother it's  really you", she then flinged her hands round her mother and squeezed her tightly. " I have missed you so much", then she released her self from her.

" I have missed you too darling, come on lets seat", queen freya said after which they both walked to the chairs and table in Mel's room.

"Mother, justice is gone", Mel said pouring out tears like a baby.

" I know honey, I know, faith told me when I arrived...am sorry the WRM took so long", the queen said, patting Mel's head gently.

" what's a WRM", Mel said wiping off her tears now. Which made the queen giggle.

" it means woman royality meeting, it's a meeting that comprises the queens, duchess and other royalties, as long as they are women of the twelve kingdoms. Now do you understand it", the queen asked with a light smile on her face.

"Yes but what is the aim", Mel asked again. This made the queen laugh and hug her again.

"Owww, my sweet Mel, my little princess, you are so curious about everything. Don't worry now, when you are old enough I will tell you everything", the queen replied back.

"Okay then. But mother am your darling not your honey, always remember this, Valeria is your honey you always call her that", Mel said which made them both laugh.

" you have humour in you, and that's what your mother loves. Always remember this, never let anyone take this humour away. Okay", the queen said.

" Yes mother", Mel answered with a pretty smile on her face. After the queen said that, she looked round Mel's room with annoyance written all over her face.

" Meeeel?", the queen stressed.

" Yes mother", Mel answered stressfully too, she knew what her mother was going to say.

"What are....", before the queen could even finish what she was saying, Mel helped her say it.

" What are you?......and then I will say am a princess...and then you will say why is your room still this way........and then I will look at you and say it's more comfortable this way....and you will say if only you could have vals cleaning spirit", Mel said .

"Well finish it up....and then you will say...?", the queen asked.

" I will get the maids to clean it!", Mel said with a big smile on her face.

"No, clean it up your self....you may be a princess but I did not raise lazy pigs", the queen said harshly. This made Mel smile and place her hand on her chest.

" Mother that was really harsh.....dont worry I will clean it up...because am not a pig", Mel answered.

" good that's more like it, now I need to go, my bed needs me", the queen said as she walked gracefully to the exit.

"More like you need your bed", Mel said with a smiley face. " rest well mother".

" I will darling, and don't you dare call Valeria to clean your room", the queen said with a sweet voice.

" I won't trust me mum", Mel said still seated on the chair with her head resting on one of her hands.

"Good, I will be going now", the queen said after which she closed the door gently.

"That's your problem mother, you trust to much", Mel said, immediately running towards the door which she then opened. " hey, hey ", she called out to one of the passing maids. "I need Valeria in my room now, could you call her for me", she instructed the maid.

" Yes your highness", the maid said and then went along with the instruction given to her.

Meanwhile queen freya was on her way to her room. She smelled the roses that decorated the passage of the castle. It was a long walk to her room because belief me the castle was big, it was one of the biggest castle amongst the twelve kingdoms. She was peacefully walking when she saw a sight she really did not want to see. The king.

They both stopped from where they where. It was like a staring contest. She was contemplating on what to do. Actually they both where. The king was confuse on what to do, he did not know why he was staring either. But one person had to break the stare. The queen did. She concealed everything in and took her first step, then another and another till she was strong enough. She walked heistely, then suddenly, warmth, she felt warmth on her arm, she pursed for a while, then turned and saw the kings hand on hers. She was shocked, the king had not touched her for years since davina came into the palace. There was silence for a while, then the king turned and looked at her. She was surprised, the kings face was pale and his eyes looked like he was lost. The rage in her was calm.

"Help.....me", those where the two words the king could filter out. It sounded like he was in pain, but it did not last long before he came back to his senses. " why am I holding you, what are you doing here", the king said, removing his hands from her arm.

"Its more like why are you touching me", the queen said. She then turned away from him and walked away, she was fast, it was more like she was running, but in a graceful way with tears running down her eyes...she thought the king really needed her. She really missed him.

The king also turned and walked away with confusion swimming in his head.

The passage was now clear with no one in sight. But.......someone saw what happened......davina. She hid after seeing what had transpired between the king and the queen.

When the king held the queen, she was really shocked. She then wondered why the king asked for help from the queen. As she stared at him, she noticed the ring was pale gold...it was turning white. She immediately hid when the king passed.

Why, why, why, where the words in her head. Why is the ring turning white so quickly. She renewed her ritual not to long ago and the ritual usually lasted for a month, but it was barely two weeks now.

She looked for answered in her head, then immediately ran to her sons room to chat with him.
