REINCARNATED MERMAID. IN The DEEP WATERS.

A TRAITOR AT HAND.

The only memory Princess Monique had, was in the morning, when she was in the garden.

She had harvested some flowers and herbs earlier.

She had started to prepare herbs for the kids at pollen square when they realized they needed Cabomba.

Manini opted to get it, as theirs had not yet matured.

She was supposed to be back as time had passed quickly.

She had wondered wearily, what kept Manini so long in the market.

But really, where was she.

She was now overly worried, she had a bad feeling that she was already in a setup, and Manini was hurt.

What will she do if she was found guilty. She cried profusely.

She wondered if her dad would ever forgive her, even if she was found guilty, unjustly.

Where was her nanny? Please Nanny Manini come back to me she whispered, underneath her breath.

Father believe me! I would never do that to you, she sobbed softly, whispering in soliloquy.

She had no one to run to. As she kept on pondering, a knock came for her.

It was from her Mother’s side of the kingdom.

Her relative who had been the king of Spears.

They were known for their hunting skills and had married their children to Boatswain , in order to seize the rivalry between them, conjuring peaceful alliances.

Princess Monique was the product of that marriage.

She would go visiting regularly, at some occasions bring birds.

Ow! How she loved them bird meat.

You will be ok ! Said Pique, the representative to the King; they had been informed prior to her hearing, and made for her stance, since he was around for official matters, on behalf of Spears.

At least, she now knew that she had a supporter, thank Heavens! She exclaimed.

The accusations are barbaric and preposterous Pique! Why will I want to kill my own Father?! And for what gain; I already posses trains of plots from mother, what more would I need, sighing heavily.

It's obvious to our council, that it is a trap, but for posterity they hope to have you on trial, Pique replied.

And to what end?! Am innocent! Princess Monique began sobbing profusely now. Am innocent! She reiterated.

We know_ my princess! But we also need to clear the air. Treason is no joke! Especially to kingdoms like us.

So, what is the plan Pique, Princess Monique probed.

We are searching for your nanny, we think she might be badly hurt or worse, dead.

But the search has commenced for her.

Now whatever, that is going on here, at the palace will be exposed and you will be sent back to the palace, please do have faith my dear, he encouraged.

Thanks Pique! I don’t know what, I would have done without you.

My regards to uncle, the King, as she slowly looked out in a bid to catch a glimpse of sun rays.
