Quotes of the day: “ I’m not crying because of you, you’re not worth it. I’m crying because my delusion of who you were was shattered by the truth of who you are “ ——— Steve Maraboli

After the two strangers told the beautiful girl what she asked, it started to become quiet. Until, the other decides to speak again.

“ We were wondering if you are a queen ? “

The man who spoke to her in a gentle manner. He raises his head up. He stared at the beautiful girl’s eyes. She sighs. She closed her eyes. Then, she opened them.

“ Yes, that is correct. I am the queen “

“ May I ask why ? “

The queen spoke cautiously at the man who asked her.  She narrowed her eyes at the two men before her. She continues to study them. She’s not a fool. She’s not blind. She will see to it. Whether they like it or not. The two strangers didn’t say a word.

inside the mind the man with black hair (older twin)

She’s the queen?!

Seriously?

We were told she was a witch.

And we were hired to assassinate her.

The man showed no fear in front of her. Even though deep down, he’s afraid. Afraid that he would get executed right on the spot. He won’t be able to see his family. Nor the girl that lit the fire in his heart.

inside the mind of the man with black hair (younger twin)

She’s very beautiful for a queen.

I’m so lucky to be able to meet her in person.

I don’t think I can do this.

No one has told us this.

We weren’t prepared for this.

I won’t be able to see the light again after this.

The same as his older brother. He showed no fear in front of her. Even though deep down, he’s afraid. Afraid that he would get executed right on the spot. He won’t be able to see his family. Nor the girl that lit the fire in his heart. They both thought the same thing. They also have a family of their own. They have a wife who is their soulmate. And their children are with them.

“ Not going to say anything are you now? “

“ Tell me who send you if you are not here to see my presence “

The queen spoke calmly. Little do these two strangers know that the queen could see through them.

inside the mind of the queen

They are so young to be an assassin.

Who sent them here? And why?

And how did they pass security?

I see that they were sent here to their death.

The girl sighs as she closes her eyes. She was in deep thought. The room stayed still. Quiet as night. The beautiful eyes she had suddenly changed. As she fluttered her eyes open, the two strangers gazed at it. They were in a trance. It was as if their soul were being sucked. Her eyes changed into a midnight blue color. 

“ State your business !!  “

The queen suddenly changed her voice. Each word she says was laced in venom. A strong aura swept through her. Without moving out of her seat, gravity started to become heavier. The air has become heavier. The two strangers that were kneeling before her were on the floor. She stared at them dead on. Her glare is deadly as poison. The two strangers were talking to each other privately.

“ Did you see that older brother ? “

The younger twin says through him privately in their family mind link.

“ Yes I have. She has the same aura and power just like THAT woman “

The older twin responded to him. They side glanced at each other. They nodded in agreement. Their strong aura starts to sweep out of their body. They could withstand the gravity force that put them in this situation. The beautiful girl smirks.

“ I see that you could handle this so well “

“ I am impressed. Isn’t that right Aries ? “

The two strangers were shaken with shock. It’s their first time seeing the almighty Aries in person. Aries didn’t say anything. He nodded at her. He continues to watch to see what kind of potential these twins have.

“ If you can withstand all this force altogether, I’ll listen to what you have to say “

“ Or would you value your own life and opinion for others before your own ? “

The queen spoke. Without hesitation, she starts to side glance at the other two that stand behind her. She gestured for them to proceed. She sat down on her throne. She didn’t divert her eyes at them. She wants to see how strong their will is. Will these strangers’ will falter after this? They made her curious. The strangers didn’t have time to answer what the queen asked them. In a flash, Aquarius and Capricorn disappeared from the queen’s side. They stand in front of the two strangers. They didn’t need to use their powers. 

Their strong aura alone added more pressure on them. Capricorn stared them down. He studied these two strangers. Aquarius; on the other hand, he was a gentle soul. But, he’s also deadly to the core if you push him off the edge.

“ What do you see Capricorn ? “

The queen spoke in his mind privately.

“ Is there any malice in their voice ? “

The queen spoke to him again. Capricorn took a deep breath.

“ I sense fear in them my queen “

“ Not only that, someone has seen them here to assassinate you “

The queen tries to hold her laugh. She covered it with her fingers. There was a slight smirk left on her face.

“ Could you tell who sent them here ? “

Capricorn shakes his head. He could tell there’s no malice in their voice. The queen looked towards Aquarius.

“ What about you Aquarius ? “

“ Did you find anything odd ? “

The queen spoke in his mind privately. Aquarius took a deep breath. He tries to concentrate. Even when the queen’s voice was gentle and angelic to his ears. He likes to listen to the queen’s voice. It was like music to him.

“ Nothing out of the ordinary my queen  “

“ It’s just —  “

Aquarius informed the queen of his opinion to her. He stopped midway through. The queen waits until he is ready to tell her.

“ The twins didn’t have any knowledge of you “

“ There aren’t in malice in them “

“ I believe that someone send them here to their death “

“ And also, they think that you are a witch in disguise“

Aquarius informed the queen. The queen sighs. She shook her head.

“ If I was an evil witch they assumed I shouldn't be burned by the touch of fire. One who carries it within Aries and Leo when they touch my skin  “ 

The queen spoke. Aries and Leo heard that comment. They heard it through their minds. It was now a four-way speaking in the queen’s mind. Just like mind linked as a werewolf could have. The queen raised her hand. It signaled them to stop. And they comply. Aquarius and Capricorn went back to their position next to their queen. With a wave of her hand, she changed her outfit to a more fitting way. Her ballgown dress that she wore automatically changed into something light to wear. So, she could move about. She slowly gets up out of her throne. She stands to the front of where she was. 

“ What do you think of this outfit, Aries, Leo, Aquarius and Capricorn ? “

The queen spoke again. There was a spark in her eyes. It was a little bit mischievous there. The four leaders of the zodiac nodded in agreement.

“ Yes, it’s perfect for my queen. It fits you greatly “

The queen was excited. Without asking her, the four knew what the queen was planning to do. She walked towards the two strangers. She hovers over them. She giggles at the sight of them. She could see them coughing blood.

“ Now get up! “

The queen ordered them. They didn’t move.

“ Ah a little rebellious I see. Very well “

With a wave of her hand as she extended them, she made them move on their own unwillingly. Her eyes glow every time she uses her power.

“ There much better “

The queen spoke. She made everything back to normal. There was no crack on the floor or on the walls. It was as if nothing ever happened. She looked at the strangers. There was a scoff at the sound she made. She shook her head. She disapproved of it.

“ GUARDS! Give these twins more fitting clothes than the ones they wore. Something that they could easily move around “

With her command, the guards appeared. They bow towards the queen. And they scurried away at her command. 

“ Now, while we wait; I’ll clean you up “

As she says that, a row of maids appeared to her.

“ You called my queen “

The group of maids bow towards her.

“ Yes, would you kindly clean them up “

The queen spoke eagerly at the maids. The maids were excited as well. They bow their heads at their queen.

“ As you wish my queen “

One of the maids spoke. They surrounded the two strangers. They couldn’t handle too many girls around them. They can’t hurt them either. It wasn’t in their nature. So, they comply with the maids. The queen waits patiently as she sits back down on her throne. She knew it only takes about five to ten minutes for men to shower. But, if she wants them to be very clean and nice then that would be about fifteen to thirty minutes in time. After a long time of waiting, the maids came out with the two strangers. 

“ Does this please you my queen ? “

One of the maids with passionate pink hair and emerald green eyes says. This maid’s hairstyle was French braided to the side. As she says that to her queen, she waits until the queen responds. Everyone does the same. The maids separate the two inches away. So, the queen has space to further inspect them. The air became intense as they saw that their queen didn’t answer. She gestured for Leo to do it for her in her stead.

“ Leo, my dear. Inspect the two strangers for me “

The queen spoke through his mind privately. Leo raises his eyebrow at her.

“ Are you sure about this ? We cannot leave your side you know that “

Leo spoke gently to her. He doesn’t want to anger his queen. So, he doesn’t want to feel her wrath.

“ That is true indeed. Very well, you and the rest of you three can inspect them from a distance “

The four of them complied. They stared at them with a deadly glare. Without saying anything, the queen gracefully raised herself off the throne. She slowly walks towards them. She didn’t go near them yet. She studied them carefully. She breathes in and out.

“ What of their weapons? Do they still contain them within themselves ? “

The queen spoke as she side glanced towards the maids. The passionate pink hair and emerald green eyes maid didn’t say a word. She stayed quiet. Instead of her speaking, another maid spoke for her.

“ It is not proper etiquette for us to touch the body of man if we are unmarried “

“ If we do that my queen, it would give them no choice but to have them married us “

The maid with a messy updo hairstyle spoke to the queen carefully. She had light brown hair and brown eyes. The queen nodded at one of her maid’s responses.

“ Aries, be a dear and tell me if those two strangers still carry weapons on them ? “

The queen spoke to Aries in his mind privately. But, the other three could hear it. The queen continues to stare at the two strangers with her glare. Aries didn’t speak. He didn’t want to make a mistake. Nor did he want to get beheaded for that. Even though the five of them are childhood best friends. There was no comment on his part. The queen sighs.

“ You two look at me !  “

They didn’t comply with her. 

“ Oooo I sense that you are disobeying me. I see “

The queen spoke calmly as she smiled. She doesn’t like to show off her anger in public to her people. An idea popped into her mind. She stayed quiet again. The queen goes up to them both. The two strangers saw a pair of feet in front of them. They didn’t lift their heads. A part of her wants to come out to play. She closed her eyes. As she did so, she willingly herself into an astral projection. She still stands in front of the throne. While, her other half stands in front of the two strangers. 

The others that were their clothes, their eyes. They do not wish to witness this. It would be a death to them if they did. She starts to inspect them from head to toe one by one. 

“ I must say that you are very handsome indeed “

“ Whoever date you must be a lucky woman “

A voice spoke out to them. The two strangers raise their heads up. They saw a little girl. It was a version of the queen herself. Except they didn’t know that. The queen; on the other hand, she gestures to the maids to leave.

“ Yes, you are right. They are indeed handsome “

The queen spoke. With a wave of her hands, she decided to give her maids a reward.

“ Here you go, you four maids did very well. You did beyond my expectations “

“ These are your reward “

The queen spoke as she whiffed of a lot of fortune in her hand. She equally gave them in the same amount.

“ Go treat yourself, you did good my maids. Go to the surface if you so desire it. You have my permission “ 

The maids accept it. They do not want to express their excitement. It would be too rude for them to do it. The maids bowed to the queen. And they left.
