"Push, push," was all that could be heard from the queen's room . Her face already sweaty , tears streaming out of her eyes as her body shook out of exhaustion . Her hand tightly held by the king. She took in air and gave a last push and finally the baby came out. To her shock the maids around her fainted and the King's eyes bulged out in shock. What was wrong you may ask ? The baby was black. It was girl just like the Queen wanted but it was black. Immediately the council was called and the royals called for a meeting. "Black !! How is this possible," one murmured. "Maybe the Queen was cursed for her wickedness," Another one said. "Or did she cheat on the king?" the one on the left asked . "Order, order, "the council elder banged his staff on the ground. The hall went silent as the royals took their respective seats. "We have decided that the baby will not be part of our family , the Queen has agreed to it and so have I ,"the king said. "The child will be given to one of the villages far from here and no one is to say a word to anyone about this and failure to do so your hend shall be served on a silver platter" The treaty of secrecy was signed and the baby sent away. The royal advisor then whispered on the King's ear. "Our subjects shall be told that the baby died on delivery meeting adjourned," He got up and went away his wife behind him. That's how the kingdom went own , people continued doing there duties as if nothing had happened. Soon the Queen gave birth to a boy and he was now the heir to the kingdom.
