Siren's Song

Episode 19

Ten months later, the consort Eudora gave birth to a young prince, Cerus. The king thermos couldn’t get away from him. So, he gave the nearest place to his newborn son. The lady Yara who was the mother of Eudora, took care of her daughter. Yara couldn’t hide herself when the child was born. She always cried in the middle of the night near the consort. She tried to keep a low tone when she cried. She didn’t want to wake up Eudora at night. The queen’s maid kept watching upon them over time. Biyonca knew everything so she hid the true relationship between them. On the other hand, Eudora felt strange from the first time they met. The king liked the lady Yara who had experience taking care of both mother and child. So, he thought she could take care of his child as a great nanny. The nanny Yara took care of Eudora too. The king never asked her why she took the parallel duties. Because he was getting busy all the time with planning and preparing to take the kingdom from his brother. On the other hand, the jealous queen and her servants tried to kill the young prince and her somehow. The king placed more guards around consort Eudora and his son. Actually, he knew it wasn’t his home, so everyone in the kingdom of Pascestor Abyss wouldn’t like this to happen. In his mind, he thought everything would go well with his plan. Because the neighboring kingdoms had the same mind as him. It all started when the king ordered her to lock the queen up. They didn’t know the real reason behind it. But the mother kingdom of Moryan disliked the king’s unexpected judgment. When they asked him, the king didn’t tell him the reason why. However, the queen’s brother, Xeniel was sending a letter to the king, Marthurs, to set her free. But the king locked the queen for over two years.

This year, princess Lily Princess turned fourteen years old and their wedding will also be held at the church of Patheon. Over those years, the prince of Patheon passed the exams with high grades and became a powerful knight. The relationship between him and Lily was getting colder than before. Phobe and he got closer and warmer relationships. But Lily didn’t know all those things. She tried to follow her parents'orders. So, she tried so hard to face the strange family by following their culture and styles. She learned about the ethics, etiquette, and other rules and regulations of Patheon for marrying him. She got tired sometimes and her illness and weakness couldn’t bear over time. Over those years, she wasn’t able to meet her friends because of tight study times. She passed the exams for school. But she couldn’t get a high grade. Sometimes, her friend Irithrel came up to see her. Whenever they met, princess Lily smiled shiny like a blooming flower. The nanny Nora was getting sad to see her like this. One day, the king ordered the guard to let the queen out. Since that day, the king has never gone near that room, but he is going to the queen’s room today. The queen’s personal maid, Yigrit saw the king walk forward to their room alone without guards. Yigirit went into the inner room to tell the news to the queen. Inside the room, the queen was lying on the bed with messy hair and face. She felt so down because of him. She felt the love disappear over time. She heard the king take the three consorts after her. She tried to hold her mind but she couldn’t. When she was falling into dark thoughts, the maid Yigrit came up and said, “ My queen, the king has come here right now. Please prepare yourself to meet him”. The queen stood up from bed and said “Please give me a comb and call the maids to come and prepare me to see the king? Hurry”. When the queen ordered Yigrit, she went outside to call the other maids to prepare the queen.

The queen was busy preparing herself in front of a mirror. At the first time the guards put her there, she threw the statues to big stand mirror to show her anger. Now, she had the small mirror left. But she trusted her maids, who always did their best for her. She asked them to tie her hair and open the crown box. She hadn’t seen her diamond crown there. So, she asked her maids “where is my crown”. Yigrit said, “my queen, the king took it since he locked you up here”. She said, “is that so please check my hair tie once again”. Yigrit said, “ You are always beautiful my queen”. She looked down at the ground and said “ What if the king didn’t see me? as before”. Yigrit said “don’t be so down, my queen, because your grown-up child will marry the prince of Patheon soon”. She said, “ Right, I have a precious daughter, so he can’t leave me alone like this”. During this time, the king arrives at the front door. The queen knew his feet well. So, she ordered her maid Ommela to open the door and greet the king politely. At that time, the king's maid, Onnela came in front first, and then she met with Ommela. Onnela said, “I haven’t seen you for a long time in those days”. Ommela said, “we are doing our jobs so it’s hard to meet even on holidays”. Onnela said, “ However, please send this message to the queen about the king's arrival”. Ommela said, “the queen already knows about it”. They nodded to each other and then they moved up to the door. The queen’s heart threw too fast to meet the king. The king got into the room by passing the door and then went up to the inner room. At that time, the queen put her hand on the door knob and turned. The king was standing up there without opening the door.

Suddenly, the queen opened the door. The king was shocked to see her. But she smiled at him and said “greeting to the king”. He said, “aren’t you getting angry with me?”. She said “I know it’s my fault but I won’t regret what I did”. He said, “you keep saying it like this”. She said, “why don’t you believe me and hear my answer”. He said, “I can’t believe my eyes about what I saw”. She said “you and I met for the first time at Pascestor Abyss, remember”. He said “I remembered and why are you talking about it?”. She said, “everything starts from there and the old woman isn’t an ordinary being”. He said, “what do you mean”. She told him “if you let her free, she will do the same as before”. He asked her by holding her shoulders “I am asking you about what you mean”. She said “who do you think she is”. She continued “the continuous illness, weakness, and curse upon my child are all connected to that witch”. He was shocked and moved back off “ what do you say?”. She said, “Yes, a witch who destroyed the whole kingdom by controlling the dragons and demons”. He said “I am joining in that battle with my father, mother and other kings, but I haven’t seen her face”. She said “I tried so hard and spent a lot of time with her in prison”. He said, “ Does this relate to our child’s illness”? She said “Yes, of course, your child was getting alive magically with the help of Wizard Magot”. He said, “I never heard about this from you”. She moved up to the closed balcony door. And then, she said, “I hold the power of the palace and try to control everything for you”. He said, “raising a child alone and handling all those things will cause you a lot of trouble, a lot”. She told him without facing him, “I am doing my duty and doing as my heart tells me”. He went up to her and held her hands. “I am so sorry for not believing you”. She shoved his hands away to show her anger. Then, she said, “why are you coming up to see me?”. He clapped to give an alert to his guards. Afterwards, the guard came into the room holding the dress, crown on a tray, and other accessories. She looked at them and said, “what are those?”. The king said “you have already seen you and you keep asking me”. She said, “I saw but I don’t know why”. The king said “our little girl will get married soon”. She moved up to the door and said “why and how without telling me”. The king said “I am now telling you”. The queen said, “you are making me mad”. The king asked her the question “ Why are you saying that?”. The queen said, “because a mother needs to tell her daughter and teach her everything before the daughter gets away”. She said, “you are taking my chance away from me and also my time”. The king said, “ Don’t worry about that, Ms. Nora and others from your kingdom taught her over years”. She said, “ I wasn’t likely to get information from mother”. They were having a long conversation that night.
