ROYALTY

CHAPTER 4

“Your highness you call…” Mia was interrupted by Debby’s pissed expression.

“Why on earth are you a maid?” Debby questioned observing Mia’s expression.

“It’s a long story” Mia responded clenching her fists.

Mia busted into tears.

Debby was seriously shocked she busted into tears like that.

Whatever happened must have been very serious.

“I’ll tell you what happened”

“My mum was a normal citizen of Arthis, living her normal life and so on. My mum worked as a caterer. The previous royal caterer was fired for attempting to poison the king and my mum was employed to be the new royal caterer. She didn’t know that was one of the greatest mistake she made.” Mia busted into tears and couldn’t continue. Debby decided to postpone the meeting.

“Don’t take the evening off, come to my room to serve me this evening so others won’t suspect a thing. We’ll talk about this there, then I’ll know what to do.” Mia nodded, tried to clean her eyes as quick as she can.

“When you’re leaving, call Ella for me.” Mia nodded and left the room.

“Shift all my meeting to right now. I have to get back by 2pm. The ones that can’t be moved to right now should be postponed till tomorrow. All the important documents that I have to take care of today should be sent to my room, I will deal with them this night.” Debby commanded.

Ella bowed and left the office.

Debby continued her works until it was time for her meetings.

It was 2pm when Debby ended her last meeting for the day and was finally out of the hectic meetings.

She immediately went to her parents and siblings, they went round the kingdom; they went to the park, to the restaurant and so on. It was a fun time to spend with her family while she could.

They got back around 6pm because her family had to prepare to go back while she had to deal with Mia.

She got to her room and sent for Mia immediately, Mia came in minutes later.

“Are you strong enough to talk now?” Debby asked and Mia nodded.

“The king, my dad met my mum while she was his caterer and really loved her food. They got closer and closer until they married and my mum was pregnant of me. Unfortunately, I was a girl and my granddad, the previous king didn’t like that I was a girl and pressured my dad to marry another woman that would bear him a male because my mum became barren after me due to some complications.” Mia paused.

“Dad didn’t marry until another woman who was after his power drugged him and slept with him and intentionally let my mum walk in on them having sex. My mum was devastated and got depressed.”

“She got pregnant and my dad had to marry her. She bore a son and my granddad was really glad. My mother was neglected.”

“As time went by, my dad forgot me and my mother, only remembering only his second wife and her son, all this time, we were maltreated by her …until she killed my mother.”

“After she killed my mother, the whole kingdom forgot about me and my mother, the king’s first wife and daughter and I was maltreated till I became a maid and everyone forgot who I once was. The woman eventually killed my dad to become the Queen and take over the kingdom but before she could, she and her son died in that car accident after coming from the King’s funeral.” Mia managed to finish the whole story but busted into tears again.
