Chapter 4
"How was your trip?" The Queen asked with full of excitement on her face.
"Your Highness we found the possible solution but I am afraid of the consequences," Adella replied.
"What is it Adella ng that bothers you so much?" Queen asked.
"I talked to Zenebe the folk healer and she said she can't do anything to help you but she mentioned Matilda."
"What about Matilda?Matilda the well-known with?" The Queen curiously asked.
"Zenebe said, Matilda could help you using her magic spell but my Queen I am afraid with what Matilda can do once we asked a favor from her." Adella commented.
The Queen smiled with the idea of having a baby soon, she ignored how Adella worried for her because that moment brings hope to her, she never minds how it will happen but the important thing is that it will happen.
"Never mention this thing to anyone especially with the king, I want you to secretly meet Matilda and ask her to see me." The Queen commanded.
"What if the King discovers this matter he will surely disagree with the idea, you know how he tried to avoid working with black magic and magic spell." Adella respectfully responded.
"Are you trying to disobey me Adella?"The Queen questioned.
"It's not that Your Highness I am just worried about you and the king."Adella sadly explained.
"You've been here since the day I was crowned as the queen and from then on, I never dreamed of anything but to give the king the most precious gift but it's been eight years of waiting and wanting and yet I wasn't able to give him even one, so this time no one can hinder my desires to conceive even with the help of Matilda I will take the risk of dealing with her." The Queen concluded.
Adella pitied the Queen if she could only help her without Matilda's participation, the only thing she can do now arranges the meeting between Matilda and the Queen and hope for the best that nothing bad will happen.
The next day Adella went to Fertillas Forest where Matilda resides, she secretly went on a journey just like what the Queen ordered it must not be revealed to anyone especially the king.
"Another palace visitor my lord.?" Bodhi smirked while informing Matilda.
Matilda gazed at Bodhi before she speaks, "Let her in," she ordered.
Bodhi excitedly went outside and guided Adelle to come inside the cave.
"What brought you here? who send you? is it the king again? " Bodhi babbled.
None of his questions were answered by Adelle who chooses to observe everything inside the cave from the filthy smell, the ground loaded with dried leaves and the rats that keep on running in and out of the corner, the cobweb that almost everywhere makes the place more horrible than anyone can ever imagine. No wonder why the people from nearby places avoided the place.
"Are you done scrutinizing our place?" Bodhi scolded.
"Enough Bodhi," Matilda warned.
"I am here because of Queen's order." Adella declared.
"The other day the king ordered to see him and this time it's the queen's order, what could be so special to me that makes palace people interact with me often this day?" Matilda commented sarcastically.
"Let the Queen say it personally." Adella mentioned without fear in her voice.
"I admire your boldness loyal servant."Matilda mocked.
"The Queen will see you tomorrow at Nebrusco near the abandoned well." Adella replied.
"What if I don't want to meet her?" Matilda uttered.
"The Queen expected to see you so please make some consideration." Adella suggested.
"Consideration...consideration...why should I consider? Do you think anything good will happen to me after meeting the Queen or just like the king she will threaten me once I will not agree with her." Matilda complained.
"It is good for you to try and see the Queen and please be kind to her." Adella pleaded.
"Okay, I'll be in the place you mentioned at seven o'clock in the evening.
The next day Adella and Queen Yashiba escaped the palace and took the route behind the palace gate to avoid being noticed by palace servants and guards. They went to Nebrusco in disguise with few trusted and well-trained guards.
"Are you sure with your decision my Queen?" Adella asked while on their way to meet Matilda.
"No one can stop me from doing this Adella even the king." The Queen responded with determination.
Matilda was already in the meeting place, she looks calmly at the abandoned well that reminds her how this place served as the witness of human cruelty to her family.
Please don't kill us we just want to live normally just like you, her mother begged the guardian who dragged her mother near to his father who was already lifeless lying on the ground, and their house from behind was completely burned.
Her mother screamed in anger and with energy left with her, she tried to attack the guards that but hundreds of guards can easily put her down with a shot of an arrow.
She witnessed everything while hiding behind the tree. The incident makes her life lonely and full of hatred, for she lives alone in the secluded part of the forest. From then on she promised that the people of Lemery Kingdom will pay for their crime and it seems that it's nearly approaching.
"Sorry for the wait because we had to change the route for us not to be recognized." Adella explained.
"Your reason must be valid enough for you to be here in disguise Your Highness," Matilda concluded.
"I want to have a child and according to Zenebe you are the only one who can help me with your magic spell." Queen Yashiba frankly said.
"Why should I help you? I'm sure the king doesn't know this and once he finds out he will not hesitate to kill me." Matilda questioned.
"If you agree to what I want I will convince the king to grant you half of the Lemery Kingdom in such a way that you are free to live without human interference just make it possible for me to conceive." The Queen offered.
"If I agree with your request I want to be the person in charge of the baby plus half of the Lemery Kingdom will be a good deal." Matilda demanded.
The Queen agreed to Matilda's wishes without thinking about the possible consequences of her agreement.
"The next month will be the full moon make sure to make love with the king and I will assure you, you will receive the greatest gift you ever asked for, and once you conceive let me live inside the palace to see you and the baby inside you." Matilda added.
