The Purple moon

Chapter 3: Holly

"My lady allow me to help ,you have done so much today if you keep at the paste you are at you will just exhaust yourself and be overwhelmed with everything you do" Holly said as she uncomfortably sees how stressed out the queen was as she was caring for Asna and Anisa. "I don't know what I would have done without you thank you, Holly. I will make sure to tell the king to advance your two week vacation into 4 weeks when the time comes" Maia Azul replies in a gentle soft tone .She hands her daughter's off to the Holly and stepping quietly into the din and grabs her favorite beauty and the beast novel and sitting down in the corner where her favorite window beamed out in view from her favorite garden. "Now now you two everything is going to be all right your mother loves you very much but it is my job to take care of you and the king and queen themselves as y'all grow older. One day you will understand that I will always love you as my own. I cannot bare my own children So will y'all will be the closest" Holly tells the twins"Did I hear you tell my god daughters that you couldn't not bare children ?" Pixel asked in a concerned tone as she overheard the maid talk to her twin goddaughters. "Miss Rex I apologize that wasn't meant for anyone to hear I wasn't trying to put my personal life on anyone I just thought I could talk to the twins because they don't understand and I didn't want sympathy from anyone please reduce my apology" Holly said in a quiet embarrassed tone. "No Holly it is I who should engage the apology you work so hard as my best friend's maid that I never questioned your life outside of the castle or the palace please forgive me for not acknowledging your life so tell me about this not being able to bare children". Pixel said wanting to understand. " IT started when I was 12 my mother had done some un provocative decisions behind my father's back you see I am from Africa and in my culture at a certain age before a woman becomes a woman she is sealed meaning that there is surgical procedures that need to be done to a woman downstairs so my mother pay an underground voodoo doctor to do the horrific procedure on me causing tears down there and well long story short from the damage that had happened I cannot carry children in any of my lifetime . The twins are the closest that makes me feel like a mother I know I shouldn't be able to use that title but lady Maia feels like a mother to me.She's the mother I've always wanted my mother to be."Holly said quietly. "Holly I don't know where to start I didn't know you went through that nor did I ever pay attention to your life or lifestyle please accept my apology and now in the future that I will do better and seeing you and thank you for being there for my friend and my goddaughters I don't know what I or they would do so thank you" Pixel said gentlely as she handed Holly a tissue. Holly had unexpectedly shed it she hadn't done that in a long time the last time she did her mother scolded her for being too sensitive. "oh thank you and miss Rex and if you don't mind could you please keep this conversation between you and I I don't want the queen to think I am too weak to take care of her children. I would never want her to question my strength" Holly said in a soft tone."Don't worry everything you say will always stay in between us and only us.Now why don't you give me the twins and take the rest of the evening off"Pixel said in a cheerful and polite tone. Holly was surprised by this gesture no one expected the queen and king has ever been kind to her. She has wished her mother for years would have acknowledged her existences and not some property to be shown off to others." Your mother looks like she needs to talk to someone about knowing how to treat others with respect especially her own daughter, what's her name?" Pixel calmly asked they took the twins for a stroll around Lunarville. "Joiya" Holly replied quietly stopping Pixel in her tracks. " As in Joiya Ahvi queen of Africa?" Pixel was stocked by Holly's response. " Yes Ma'am" Holly stated. "Holly does anyone know you are the daughter of the most powerful witch of all time?" Pixel was looking around as if to make sure no one was listening. Holly shakes her head no answering the question. "And Maia?" Pixel asked leaning in towards Holly." Oh please miss Rex don't tell Lady Maia Azul about my mother if she knew who she was I might be kicked out of Lunarville like my mother did when I would not marry the person she chose for me" Holly pled. "I wouldn't dare that is your story to tell" Pixel said as they now were crossing to the Street to Lady Maia Azul's favorite garden. "Good morning Miss Pixel,miss Holly Asha and Asnia " Dovie and Xylia Induna said as they passed by. The Iduna sisters call as they walked by.
