Chapter 109
Edna
"Is that so?" The queen asked with narrowed eyes.
"Yes. I am conveying the King's message word for word." Sasha replied.
"Since the king said so, who am I to refuse? Everything would be as the king
stipulated." The queen said.
Her tone was calm but I felt like it was the precursor to a big storm. From her previous gestures and actions, I knew this lady wouldn't let me go like that.noveldrama
If she did, it would be a big surprise.
My fingers dug into my palms as I clenched my hands into fists.
The air was charged with tangible tension.
"I think part of the preparations the king asked me to arrange would be teaching you manners. You didn't bow properly. We in the royal family value etiquette. Someone should straighten her up." The queen said.
What?
A female guard stepped out from the two rows of protectors near the throne.
The female guard stepped towards me. When she got to my position, she pressed her two hands on my shoulders.
Her actions were rough and sudden. I crashed to my knees because of the surprise caused by her actions.
A shaky gasp left my lips. An intense pain shot through my nerves when my knees connected with the floor.
Mist gathered in my eyes because the pain. Some of the gathered tears slid down. This was what I was talking about. The Queen would surely have myriad ways of making my life miserable without killing me off.
I knew myself. I tried to be extra careful. I didn't think there was something wrong with the actions I performed in the past few minutes. When Sasha bowed slightly, I copied her gesture. I didn't want to fall into that kind of obvious trap. I thought I had avoided giving the Queen a legitimate handle that she could use as a cover to punish me.
I don't know why I was the one getting the shorter end of the stick when Sasha was still fine.
The Queen left her throne and walked towards me slowly.
Eventually, she arrived before me. The guard that was keeping me on my knees acted promptly without any orders.
Her hands moved in a unique way. She propped my chin upwards. Now, I was staring directly into the enigmatic gaze of the Queen.
The female guard's actions were rough and a bolt of pain zapped my neck. A groan left my lips.
It seems I cannot keep being quiet. If I keep waiting for the queen to let me go naturally, I might get seriously injured. I can't wait around for her interest to subside like I had planned anymore. I had to fight.
"What is your name?" The queen questioned.
"Her name is Sophia." Sasha chipped in.
The Queen looked at her with displeasure coating her pupils, "I wasn't speaking to you."
"My bad." Sasha said as she slammed her palm over her lips.

Her other hand was raised in a gesture of surrender. She took a few step backwards.
If an outsider took a look at this situation, they would think the Queen was about to gobble Sasha up.
Those few seconds of their interaction made me know the dynamics of the relationship between the Queen and Sasha.
If I wasn't present here, Sasha would probably be the one that would bear the Queen's torture and anger.
Since I was here, I had become the scapegoat the two would unite against.
"I don't want to repeat my question the third time. What is your name?" The queen turned her attention back to me.
I took a deep breath. It was hard to do that action because of the way my body was positioned.
The queen's questions and actions reinforced the fact that she was looking for trouble.
I don't know why she was insisting on getting my name from my lips when Sasha had generously supplied it.
My throat moved as I swallowed, "My name is Sophia." "Sophia." The queen said, "A name truly befitting a vixen."
The way she said her words felt like she was butchering it.
"Queen, I didn't want to be here. I was brought to this place without my consent. I don't want to be the King's concubine and I am not interested in fighting with you." I said.

"Wow, I am impressed. So, you are going to go as far as trying to sow discord between the King and I? The king has really picked a treasure up." The Queen replied.
I closed my eyes briefly. This Queen was similar to the King and Sasha. It was clear that
the queen just wanted to humiliate me and show her power. My explanations were going into one ear and coming out of the other.
Besides, any slander against the king would obviously not be tolerated.
"I am not trying to cause any issues between you and the King. I would never do that. I
just want you to plead with your husband to let me go." I said.
Earlier, there was a little bit of pity for this queen because of her King's amorous character. Now, that bit of pity was reducing rapidly. This woman was crazy.
"Stop spewing senseless words." The Queen snapped.
The faithful guard that was holding me captive immediately used her hand to hold my jaws together.
For a brief second, I wanted to struggle. Although the female guard was strong, I could still make her uncomfortable.
I stomped the urge to struggle like mad person. Even if I fought back against the female guard keeping me on my knees, it would be of no use in the long run. The Queen had the ability to command the rest of the guards to hold me down. "Your majesty." A voice called out in surprise.
The voice came from the group of guards around the Queen's throne.
The Queen looked up in surprise. My attention was diverted from the crazy queen
before me.
I looked out of my peripherals. The King was standing at the entrance of the hall with a dark look.
He asked, "What are you guys doing?"
What do you think?
