Isabella and anna rushed to the palace. Anna was crying all the way and Isabella was consoling her. "father, please. come. to. me... pleaseeeeee... I cant live without you father. Getup and see your princess father.. get up father"Anna was sobbing.
The people in the hall had tears in their eyes after they heard anna crying. After williams funeral, the whole kingdom was sad. Due to the people sadness and to replace lord williams place, the palace administraters wanted a new king.
"We need a new king to look after the kingdom" head administrator said to other
"yes, he is correct. But where do we get another king? How can choose king?"minister told
"As the king has only a daughter she too cant be a queen unless there is a will written by lord williams itself." The member in the hall said
The adminstraters was confused and worried about the kingdom
"what if we were attacked by our rival kingdom?" The minister said with a sad face.
All the administraters looked at him in horror
"he is correct. What if we got attacked? Who will look after the kingdom like the late king lord Williams?" The head held his head.
Suddenly the door opened and all the administraters saw Isabella marching towards them
"greetings isabella! What made you to come here. This meeting is only for the administraters. Were taking about royal affairs" the member in the board said to her.
"greetings! I too came here to speak about a royal affair" Isabella said to him.
"oh is it isabella! What is it? Tell us" the member asked her sarcastically
"oh yes mr.administrater. im here to speak about the future king" she stopped speaking and looked at the head administer
All the administraters got shocked and looked at her in horror.
"and our queen is Annabella ,the daughter of our late king" Isabella said proudly.
"Isabella, what are you talking? We cant make her as a queen unless we have lord williams will" the minister asked her.
"oh yes, i have the will written by lord williams himself" Isabella said to him
All got stunned by her answer
"wh...what you have a will ? show us" the member said.
Isabella gave the will to the head administrater. The administrated checked the will whether it is true or fake and he said happily "ANNABELLA LORD WILLIAMS IS OUR FUTURE QUEEN".
All the administraters got happy and went to greet Anna
On the other side
Anna was crying in front of her father's photo. Soon she saw a letter which is under her father's clothes. She went and took the letter and went to her room as she don't want anyone to look at the letter.
At Anna's bedroom
Anna opened the letter and read it. In the letter,
Dear anna,
This is your father. This will be my last letter for you my princess. I never wanted you to grow in the forest. I loved you so much than anything in this world. I just wanted to tell you something important. When your mother died, I was confused by her sudden death. When you said about the incident happened before you mothers death, I understood the creepy lady you told was a witch. And she cursed your eyes so that your mother died when she looked in your eyes. That's when I realised I was also looking into your eyes, so the witch's curse harmed me also. I know that, I will only live for few years. I have looked the solution everywhere, but I couldnt get it. So my dear cindrella, I cant let my kingdom get down, I want you to rule my kingdom. Make an announcement, “whoever finds a solution for my curse will be my prince and the king of my kingdom” please don't ignore this letter my princess. This is your fathers last wish. I love you so much anna.
Beloved Lord Williams
After reading the letter tears flown from her eyes. She felt like her heart was going to explode. She couldn't digest the news. She fell on her bed and cried her heart out, soon sleep consumed her.
Next morning
Isabella went to Anna's room and knocked the door but,she didn't get any response. She knocked the door many times and called Anna's name
Isabella: anna, open the door. Annnna..... ann....nnna..
Soon she heard anna crying and she felt so worried about anna
" Ann...nna.. please. open.the.door." she said in-between her crying.
"no maa, i know everything. I killed my own father and my mother" Anna said crying more.
"Anna, my dear child you didnt do anything. Please open the door, anna". Isabella loved her from her heart. So she can't see her like this.
Anna opened the door and hugged Isabella who was crying due to Anna's crying.
"maa, i killed my father and my mother". Anna hugged her more.
"no dear, you didnt did anything wrong. It was that witchs mistake. I am still trying to find her... you dont worry." Isabella consoled her.
"anna, i need to talk to you !" Isabella asked
"tell ma!" She said with her red puff eyes.
"Anna, as per your fathers wish and will you have to become the queen of ardania." She said to her softly.
"I know ma, i read my father's last letter" Anna said to her.
"what letter anna?" Isabella was shocked. Williams never told her about this.
Anna gave the letter isabella. Isabella read the letter and her eyes welled in tears
"maa, I will fulfill my father's wish" .( anna looked at her) "maa, i need to know something?" Anna asked in a low voice.
"Ask anna!" Isabella said to her while combing her hair strands.
"maa, why my curse didn't harm you?" Anna asked her in a low voice.
"your curse cannot harm me anna as im also a witch". Anna didn't except this.Anna looked stunned and she looked up at isabella
"Anna, you need to know that there are good witches and bad witches. Good witches like me don't harm anyone but the bad witches need power. They wanted to rule everyone. So, they will gather some ingredients to make a portion. Do u remember the big pot you broke in that house. She made a portion to gain the power but you broke it so, that is the reason she cursed you. And the curses cannot harm evil strangers, witches, angels" Isabella said to her with a smile.
Anna was shocked to hear those things. She never thought Isabella was a witch. It was a lot for her to take. Anna didn't came out of her room for the following week. Even she eats in the room. Soon, the administrators fixed a date for Anna to take charge of the kingdom. Isabella was worried about Anna because she didnt came out of her room.
One beautiful morning
Anna walked down the hall with a black gown which hung so per on her curves, her hair was in loose waves and everyone was surprised by her look. Everyone looked with shocked faces.
"Anna, what are you wearing?" Isabella asked her with utter shock.
"A blindfold maa!!" She said coldly.
