Ella looked at the people to know she had their maximum attention and turned to look at her husband who was really trying not to go on rampage but looking at her expectantly and she began her story

' Atenna entered the palace and in the name of the king and me not being a bad hostess and not wanting to turn the palace in commotion accepted the princess but knew she had something on her sleeve so I was weary' she stated making the majority of them and even the king to glance at her but she still continued after some seconds

' Everyone knew me as kind, caring and soft so Atenna took that opportunity to her advantage not once entertaining the idea of me retaliating against her,I have three special head guards whom they guard me with their life but also have about ten men under their command,they knew the princess was up to no good but i commanded them to lay low and to construct their own research and others to follow her every move and others hot on her tail,they were around and heard her openly condemning, planing, insulting and challenging me with her uncouth mouth but still played the queen in distress, Atenna started conniving with some of my maidens and started poisoning my food with the poison bulb red leaves ' the crowd gasped and started throwing disdain and open insults at Atenna kept quiet when the queen resumed her story 

' but I knew it right away as my mother taught me of it and it's antidote when I mistakenly ate one, but my maidens and guards never stopped to think that they had swored their loyalty to me their queen,she even went as far as to bribe and bought some of the royal council to turn against me and the people who stands by me ' Ella squeezed the king's hand in hope to assure him of her safety and to silently tell him to hold on

' I found out I was pregnant and knew I had to act fast so I pretended to be sick so they won't notice the morning sickness and all the sickness associated with pregnancy but they still continued poisoning me but I made sure that the glass was always changed and still pretend to drink it or sometimes not,I had make up on my face to look sick and they still bought it but she never stopped poisoning me, Atenna still tried to play with my mind into believing the king truly chose her over me to break me which I played along until I was informed of her wanting the final blow into killing me and I was seven months along and two months due and knew I should step up my game or else,me and my children will be in grave danger and so I drank the death potion which stills my heart and pulses for twenty seven hours making me to be declared dead so they  think they had won ' the king turned to her silently praising her that she took that risk and the people looked at her in awe and adoringly

' being dead,my doctor and guards were with still working hard in unraveling all the truth and people but we placed someone dead in the tomb to be cleaned and not to arise suspicion,I started tormenting her as a ghost and later learned that her father was the one sending the letters and we also identified the moles and Atenna working her way to the throne and most of them supporting her and so she was crowned queen and now her father is here to fill the alliance with her and also i was the one who sent her the letter to know your coming and also invited her father here as it would be a shame if he wasn't here to taste the defeat personally' claps echoed in the hall making other to join and soon applause were reigning over the halls,

The  queen rose and all quietened down,the king  couldn't express how proud he was of her because it was more than he could,she clapped and about one hundred and fifty men were brought fort including elders,maids,guards,cooks and some of the people

' these are our traitors who were major in this conspiracy' she announced and walked down to Atenna and stretch her hands making her to take something out of her clothes and hand it over to her

' you told me to watch my back as I said,a word to the wise is enough and told you someone is my shadow,he is back so now face him' Ella leaned and whispered,took her crown and placed it one her head and walked into the embrace of her king who has opened his arms to her

' seize them all,they are sentenced to death but for this filth her and her father I won't spare them today' he said and desended and stood in front of her and her father looking at them with rage

' I can spare anyone but never those who hurt my queen,I can pardon anything but not who threatens my kingdom,I can let go of all but not who wants to harm my children' he said so casually that before anyone could blinks the father's head was rolling off making her scream

' am sorry,your majesty,I did it all for love,please spare my life' Atenna wailed on her knees but his eyes was hard and unforgiving

' no you did it for greed,why did you forget the monster that I am?when you go to hell learn from your mistakes with your father and don't ever cross my path even in the after life' he said casually and her hand was off making the people shriek in terror of witnessing the beast but it was nothing,he turned to her queen and raised his hand and went and stood by her

" Guard take her to the monsters room,cut her limps and let the doctor bandage them,cause she is going to die slowly" he said and cut her other arm

"With the people who were part of this conspiracy will be punished and it shall be in public as they can destroy the kingdom,off into the cells" he commanded

" No your majesty please kill me rather,this is more than I can bear,please kills me" Atenna wailed and pleaded that the people were afraid and wished never to be on the receiving end as the guards drag her along, the king never looked in her direction and walked towards her queen and held her, kissing her head

" The loyal people who we couldn't fight and win without would be rewarded and appreciated,even you Maya and Atonya, I know you helped her too" he said making them bow to the couple

" For vanquishing our enemies and for having a brave and beautiful queen,I hold a banquet for two weeks in her honour and also the kingdom of Dynasty is now ours,long live the queen, long live our kingdom, Navaeh" he said making the people roar with joy and he wrap his hands on her waist and kiss her head as the people starts cheering

' long live the queen'

' long live our queen'

' long live Navaeh'
