THIRD PERSON POV
Matilda walked into the courtyard only to see Porsha practicing her target practice. She watched as one of Porsha's arrows flew across the sky, landing in the middle of a formerly shut arrow, and a sick smile creeped to her face.
It was a known fact that the ladies in Leviathan's harem were forbidden from taking up ammunition as it underminds the emperor's strength, but Porsha didn't know this law, cause she wasn't actively a member of Leviathan's harem just yet.
“Perfect Porsha, that was your best shot yet” Anne praised, a broad smile etched on her face. Indeed Porsha had growth in her targeting and precision.
“Were you expecting anything less. I am the daughter of the great alpha Williams after all” Porsha voiced, bubbling with pride, and Anne burst into a chuckle.
Just then two young ladies with brown eyes, and blonde hair walked towards them, a broad smile on their faces.
They were each dress in a sparkling attire similar to that of queen Cassandra but their crowns were slightly different with a little attachment of gold along it's edges.
“Greetings queen Porsha” the ladies greeted with their hands raised to their nostrils.
“Greetings queens” Porsha greeted with a bow of my own, and a small smile.
“To what do I owe the honor?" she doubted, with a raised brow.
“We noticed your target practice and thought it was only right as your senior queens to give you a heads up” One of them voiced, her tone bubbling with concern that Porsha interest was immediately drawn.
“Heads up about what?" Porsha asked intrigued, as she stared in between the two of them.
The ladies looked at each other, and then burst into laughter.
“Should I tell her, or you will queen Flora?" The first asked the second.
“The honor is all yours queen Vera. Feel free to tell her everything” The second said and a frown creeped to Porsha's face.
Porsha was never a patient person so every second they wasted made her stomach crawl just a little more. If they were to continue like that she was surely going to blow a fuse.
“Actually, it's about the use of ammunition in the harem, it's strictly forbidden...” The first queen Vera, began explaining but her words got cut off by the sound of Matilda's voice.
“I will explain things to queen Porsha myself” Matilda informed as she walked into the scene.
“Greetings beautiful queens of Ember nest” Matilda greeted them with a sincere smile, probably the first Porsha had ever seen and they responded with, “Greetings queen mother”
She then turned to Porsha, her smile falling slightly, “Greetings queen Porsha"
“Greetings ma Matilda” Porsha responded with a small smile of her own. The last thing she wanted was more trouble today.
“Ladies do you mind excusing us. I will like to speak to queen Porsha, alone” Matilda informed, her tone more of commanding than requesting.
Immediately the two queens, greeted once more and excused themselves, leaving just Porsha, Matilda and Anne behind.
“Queen Porsha, do excuse the queens. they were just teasing you. They always do that with all new queens. Actually his majesty had demanded that no woman should be forced into using a weapon as a sign of his pride, and the fact that he was scared that you ladies might hurt each other, but now that we are sure something like that would never happen. I assure you, you are absolutely free to go about your practices” Matilda reiterated, her tone cold yet sincere.
“Really, is that the case?" Porsha doubted and Matilda nodded with a smile.
“In that case thank you for saving me the stress of undergoing their little prank” Porsha said with a small smile of her own. She might not have liked Matilda but the fact still remained that Matilda had shown her an act of kindness and it was only fitting that she repaid her.
“It was my pleasure queen Porsha” Matilda voiced still griming from ear to ear.
“Oh, I almost forgot. This is a gift from his highness to you” Matilda informed as she opened the box to reveal the gorgeous dress in it. The dress shone brightly in the daylight that it blinded Anne and Porsha momentarily “It is beautiful, right? This dress was tailored to perfection by our royal dress maker. A man known to create magic with his barehands. His clothes are one in a million, only one of it exists”
Honestly, the dress was irresistible. It was indeed a masterpiece even for a fashion guru like queen Porsha.
But for some reason she wasn't enticed, it was probably because she felt nothing but hate for the person who gifted it.
“His highness wants you to wear this masterpiece to tonight's event,” Matilda explained, her voice firm as she handed the box over to Anne.
“I'll try my possible best” Porsha announced, truth be told she had no interest in wearing anything red, infact Porsha despised the color red, but now she was subjected by responsibility to wear it.
“That's good to know. I expected you to rock everyone's world. After all you are the center of attention” Matilda said as she turned to leave, but decided against it, when she recalled the assignment given to her by Leviathan.
“Oh! and one more thing. His highness request you be at the ceremony at exactly 7:30 pm. Queen I advise you try to be on time, don't be too early or too late. You don't want to annoy his highness” Matilda added, her tone laced with arrogance.
Such orders were normal for royalty but Porsha wasn't going to let Leviathan tell her what to do, she was his wife only on paper, nothing more. At this point, it was obvious there was only one way, she was to go to the event atleast 30 minutes late.
“I will take my leave now. God bless you” Matilda said with a small smile as she turned to leave. A nemesing laugh forming at the back of her throat.
Her plan was finally working, Leviathan was too much of an egomaniac to tolerate having to wait for a woman, and when Porsha eventually showed up, she was going to be wearing the very color he despised. And that will automatically increase a rift between Leviathan and Porsha.
So much for God's blessings. By the end of the day Porsha would be nothing but a has been queen. Now all Matilda had to do was switch the outfits before the party tonight.
