The Mysterious Birth Record
221 Words
King Alexander couldn't stop thinking about the letter.
He waited until the birthday celebration ended before summoning the palace physician.
"Tell me everything you know about the birth of Princess Celeste."
The physician became nervous.
"Your Majesty, that was eighteen years ago."
"I know. That's why I'm asking."
The King placed the letter on the table.
"I received this tonight."
The physician read it.
His face immediately changed.
"Where did you get this?"
"Answer me."
The old physician sighed.
"There were two female babies born that night."
"I know."
"One belonged to the Queen. The other belonged to a palace servant named Mara."
The King's eyes narrowed.
"Mara?"
"Yes."
"Where is she now?"
"She left the palace shortly after the babies were born."
The King stood.
"Bring me every document from that night."
Meanwhile, Mara was sitting alone in her house.
She couldn't sleep.
She had seen the royal hospital seal on a letter delivered to the palace earlier that day.
She knew exactly what it meant.
Someone was investigating.
Mara immediately went to Celeste.
"Pack your things."
Celeste stared at her.
"What?"
"We may have to leave."
"Leave? Why?"
Mara grabbed her arm.
"Because they may have discovered the truth."
Celeste's face went pale.
"What truth?"
Mara looked directly into her eyes.
"The truth about who your real mother is."
