The King's Bride

The Coronation Ceremony 1

EPISODE ONE

The Coronation ceremony 1

Chloe's POV

I stared back at my image at the mirror and smiled, I was excited, that night was the night I had been waiting for, a night I had anticipated in the last few years.

The night I was going to get my revenge on the man I hated the most, the man who took my family away from me, the man who put me in the situation I was.

He made me an orphan, he took my parents and sister away from me, I was left all alone in the cruel world all because of him.

It was a night I was going to get the revenge I had been working towards, a night I was going to avenge the death of my parents. The coronation night.

I picked up the small knife which was on the table beside my bed, I smiled as I stared at the shining edge, "This is your chance," I said to myself and chuckled.

"Chloe, are you in there?," I heard someone whisper at my door.

I quickly hid the knife behind my back and dragged my legs to the door, I pushed it open and my uncle stood right at my doorstep.

He looked to the right and left before rushing into my room, I quickly closed back to the door and ran to him.

"Uncle, what are you doing here?," I asked as I walked to the window, I drew down the curtain and closed up the windows, "What are you doing here?, you can't get caught you know," I was worried.

My uncle and I had been working on the revenge for years. he was the one who raised me after my parent's death, and he also worked in palace.

He got a job for me as the slave to the crown princess of the Kingdom of Koda, Princess Charlotte, who was betrothed to the prince of the Kingdom of fyn, which meant that she was going to become the Queen.

"I made sure no one saw me when I was coming here," my uncle said in whisper and pulled me to himself, "Remember Chloe, this is the night we have been waiting for, you can't miss your target okay?," he said.

I looked up at him, and I could see in his eyes how much the revenge mission meant to him.

He also had been through lots since he took me in, sometimes we go to bed without meals, but he was always there for me.

"I won't let you down uncle," I responded, "I promise I will avenge my parents death, I am going to kill the one who killed my parents," I promised, and I was being real with that, I was ready for the task, I was ready to carry out the operation.

A criminal shouldn't become the king, a man which was full of deceit shouldn't be made the king, someone who killed people on his way up must be brought down, and that was the crown prince of the Kingdom of Fyn. George Ashleigh.

"I trust you Chloe," my uncle said and pulled me into his arms, "You've worked so hard for this, I am sure you are going to succeed," he added.

I wrapped my hands around him, he wasn't just my uncle, he was also like a father to me, he had been there for me during the tough times, and I was so grateful for that.

I wouldn't disappoint him, I was going to get the job done, I was going to get the revenge we've always worked towards.

He looked into my eyes and brought his hands to my cheeks, "My daughter, make sure you are safe too, do a clean job, and then we can get out of this place and go somewhere else," he stated and looked up at the ceiling, "We can just fly away to New York or some other country, but we won't leave until we see the end of Prince George," he added.

I laughed, he could be funny sometimes, although he was saying something right this time, but it still sounded funny to me, why should we run away?.

I was going to tell the whole world all that happened, I was going to make Prince George reveal all the truth before killing him, then I would give it to the press.

"I will be sure to get it done uncle," I smiled, "We..."

"Her highness the princess will be coming in now," one of the guards made a loud announcement right outside my door.

I stood still with my eyes widely opened, what to do?, my uncle must not get seen in my room, I looked around as I tried to find a place for him to hide, but I wasn't seeing anywhere.

I threw the knife in my hand under the bed first, and then I began to find where my uncle could hide again.

I was still trying to find a place when the door came open and the princess walked in, I got caught, all my uncle and I had been planning for years would be revealed to everyone, and we would be beheaded for commiting treason. Just the thought of that made me tremble in fear.

The princess walked in and I bent my head as I murmured to myself, I couldn't think of what to do, what was I supposed to say to make her believe that there was nothing going on with my uncle and I.

I looked up at her, "I can explain your highness," I murmured

She smiled, "Explain what?," she asked, "I learnt from Maria last night that you were sick, and so I came to check up on you," she added and moved closer to me, she held my hand and looked up at me, "Are you better now?," she asked.

My hands shook uncontrollably as she held them, I wanted to stop it from shaking, but I couldn't.

I titled my head to the side and looked around in the room, my uncle was nowhere to be found, I wasn't really concerned about where he was as I was relieved that we didn't get caught, it would have been a big problem.

"Are you okay Chloe?," she asked, "Why do you look so tensed?," she inquired and I could see the worry in her eyes.

Being Princess Charlotte's favorite slave was great, but sometimes it hurts me that I was going to kill the man she loved.

She had told me several times how much she loved Prince George, she had discussed with me how excited she was and how much she had anticipated the day she would be joined with him.

Thinking of it, I knew she would be so hurt to see Prince George die, but there was no way out of it. He had to pay for all he did, Princess Charlotte will heal when the time comes.

"I'm..I'm okay your highness," I responded and faked a smile immediately, "I'm just surprised that you are here personally," I added and bent my head.

Although, princess Charlotte had told me several times to stop addressing her that way, but it was the way it should be done, she was a princess after all, and she was going to become the Queen too.

"Chloe, I was so worried, so I had to come check you up," she responded and I could see the relief in her eyes, "I'm so happy now that you are okay," she added.

Princess Charlotte was quite younger than me, I guess that was why we had a good relationship, and she was also a good person.

I was her slave, but I wasn't treated as one, she was so accommodating.

"Thank you your highness," I smiled and bowed again.

"You may rise," she laughed, "Well, I am here to remind you that you will be the one to escort me to the king's chamber tomorrow," she informed.

I bent my head and held out a low laugh, escort her to the king's chamber?, that could only happen if the king was alive, and I was sure he wouldn't get the chance to do that.

The coronation ceremony was a two days function, the first day was to coronate the king, and that function takes place in the night, it was said that the heavens were going to give their blessing to the king, and so the crowning would be done in the night, while the second was the royal marriage, a day which the king was going to get married to the one who was betrothed to him.

Princess Charlotte had informed me that I was going to escort her to the king's chamber on the night of the royal marriage, she had told me that she wanted me to follow her as she might be scared, but it was a pity that I wouldn't be able to that.

I was going to kill the prince, and I would either get caught or I escape, whichever way, I knew I wouldn't escort her.

"Yes, I remember your highness," I responded her and bowed again.

She smiled and placed a hand on my shoulder, "Dress up and meet me in the throne room, I will be waiting to have you by my side," she said and turned to the door.

I bowed as she walked out of the room, my head was still bent as different thoughts ran through it.

The thought of betraying Princess Charlotte's trust hurts me really bad, but I had no other choice, I still had to get my revenge.

That night was the night I had been waiting for, I was going to kill the prince even before he gets coronated, that was my plan, and I was sure to get it done.

"Close the door now," I heard a whisper, I knew it was my uncle, "I'm getting suffocated here," he added.

I rushed to the door and closed it, I turned back and I could see my uncle crawling out of my wardrobe, I didn't know when I held out a loud laugh.

"Uncle," I called and he frowned, "You didn't have to do that," I still couldn't hold back my laugh.

"I have to leave now before they start looking for me," he stated, "Make sure you keep your promise Chloe," he added.

I smiled, "You can trust me uncle, I will be sure to keep my promise," I responded and he pulled me to himself again.

"Make sure you are safe," he murmured and turned to the door, "Don't forget the plan, where we meet after you get the job done," he added.

I nodded, "Alright uncle," I responded and walked to the door too, "Make sure you are safe too," I added and he walked out of the room.

I walked back to the room and stood in front of the mirror again, that might be my last time in the room, that might be the last minute I was going to stay in the room I was gifted by the princess.

Princess Charlotte had gifted me that room for my last birthday, she was such a great person.

I bent down and pulled out the knife under the bed, I stood up and dusted my clothes, and then I stepped out of the room, it was my only chance, I had to make good use of it.
