Chapter nine

wonderful" he let out, as we walked back to the throne room, and caught sir Warwick and Micha,  having a heated controversy that nearly cause them to physically attack each other. 

"Enough," Scott said with an angry voice, perking at both of them in their defensive mood. 

"Look that yourself" he muttered, ushering me in. 

"He started it," sir Warwick said, plopping the fault on Micha. 

" Are you mad" Micha replied back to, with a stern warning not to aggravate him. 

"You but are acting like kids, now if I may ask, what was the reason for the argument", Scott uttered sitting down on a chair with his eyes peeking at both of them. 

" We were arguing because Warwick is behaving like a selfish bastard, as his only concern is the prince taking  over the throne" Micha let out, clarifying all that transpired In his absence.

"But, we clearly heard, what this charlatan said, that she wasn't interested in taking over", Warwick altered, pointing a finger at me. 

"My name is Taria and am not an imposter", I said with an angry tone, scowling at him. 

" I don't care" he let out, shoving his hand at me. 

"Now is time to clear your doubts", Scott said, thus making everyone spruce up, as he walked up to where I strutted, placing his hand round my shoulder. 

"Gentlemen, I present your new Queen" Scott announced, as some gazed of excitement while others about of anger, seeing their plans had receded. 

On hearing this, Warwick left the room, in anger, banging the door behind him. 

"Don't mind him, he's just being Warwick" Scott said, thus some of the members came to congratulate me. 

"Congrats, soon to be Queen Taira," Micha said, pulling his hand for a shake.

"Thank you, I replied back to him with a warm smile on our face.

"First thing first, how to act like royalty," Scott said, banging his hands together, as a lady came forth.

"This is Mrs. Mary's weather, she will educate you all that's required to know about etiquettes,". Scott said. 

"Also it's needed to learn about the history of your family," Scott said smacking his hands once more, as a young man comes before us. 

" This is Peter Paula, he's going to teach you all that's expected to know about the history of your family, given you weren't born in the castle, so it's only fair that you know", Scott also said, pinning a smile on his face. 

"That will be all for now your highness, miss Mary weather will escort you to your room," Scott said, giving her the go-ahead. 

"I would like to, bury my mom" I let out, glaring at him. 

"On sunset, burial will be held, but for the main time, the body has been kept save". 

"Thank you sir Scott", I let out, with a sign of gratitude in my tone. 

"Your welcome, my Queen", he said, walking out of the room. 

"Shall we" miss Mary weather said, ushering me out, as we strolled to my room. 

Now that Taria has accepted to be Queen, lots of evil heads will be risen, against her being Queen. 

The next morning, she was sent a gift, but what was sent to her, keep reading to find out.

Good morning your highness" miss Mary weather let out, passing a bowl and a towel for me. 

" what's this, I asked wondering what it was required for. 

"There's is a warm water inside the bowl and this is a towel, you use after washing your hands". She replied back to me

"Oh okay" as instructed I did precisely what miss Mary weather implored me to, hence I noticed a box wrapped in a plastic bag.

"Who sent that," I asked Miss Mary weather, inquiring who sent it.

"I don't know your majesty", I saw it placed at the entrance of the door, so figured it must have been sent to you".  She replied back to me.

" Let's see what's inside" I got up from the bed, sat on the couch and unwrapped the gift sent to me.

"Ahhhhhhhhh" I screamed, shoving it off to the floor, with Mary weather running out of the washroom she was preparing my bath. 

"What happened," she asked raising a question.

"Look", I pointed to her, what I saw that was wrapped, it was the body of a dead pigeon, and a written on underneath it.

"Welcome to your doom princess, very soon that dead pigeon will be you". 

"OMG, who would be behind this" miss Mary weather asked me.

"I don't know, but am willing to find out " I replied back to her, dashing off to the washroom to take my bath, after I left holding the box in my hands and went straight to the throne room, Interrupting the cabinet meeting. 

"There better be a good explanation for this", sir Warwick altered, giving me a hard stern. 

" Yes, there is" I replied back to him, placing the box on the table. 

" What's in it,"  sir Scott said, Inquiring what might be in it. 

"This Morning, I received a gift of a dead pigeon and a note threatening my safety," I said, passing the note to him, after reading it, his eyes fell on sir Warwick. 

"What, don't look at me," he said, justifying himself of the guilt. 

"Then if not you, who else did it" sir Scott replied back to him. 

"I don't know, it might be the enemy's of her father, seeing a next in line, as emerged" he replied back to him.

"That is possible" sir Scott replied back, stroking his chain. 

"Wait, my father had enemy's" I replied back, glaring so worried.

"Yes he did, a lot of enemies '", your father never had even an alley he trusted or called his Friend," Warwick said, pinning a smirk in his face.

"Don't scare her" Micha altered, standing behind me.

"Says someone that's late to an important meeting" Warwick replied back to him. 

"Don't you irritate me?" Micha said to him, as he walked up to me.

"I know you're worried, but don't worry, you save, nothing of the sort will happen to you". He said, holding my hands. 

"Thank you, at least that was comforting," I said, glaring at Warwick. 

" Your highness, why don't you give us some time to round up the meeting, I'll come, meet you later on," sir Scott said, as I walked out of the room. 

As Scott asserted, I left and headed straight to my room, when I abruptly thought of Julia.

"Miss Mary weather" I called out to her.

"Do you know where Julia is, she's my best friend?" I asked her, hoping maybe she had seen her, because my lovely friend as I way of getting noticed, I depicted Julia from her round eyes, average height, and a gray hair tone.

"Ohh, that's your friend?" She muttered pining a surprised expression on her face.

"Hahaha, yea, she's the one" I replied back, inquiring once again if she had seen her. 

"Yes, I did" she replied to me

"So where is she," I asked her but before she could reply back to me, I head a knock on the door, with Julia's head sticking out.

"Get in here, you big head" I called out to her, pinning a smile on my face.

"Your highness" she muttered Bowing her head to me. 

" What's wrong with you," I said to her, as I yanked her in for a hug.

"I missed you," I said to Julia

"Me too" she replied back to me.

"Am sorry, I totally forgot about you, everything was messed up?" I said to her.

"Nah, it's okay"

" You weren't in your right frame of mind," Julia said to me, as she tucked my hair behind my ears.

"So, what up, did you sleep in the palace", I asked her.

"No, I didn't, I actually went home, last night to tell my parents that I'll be staying with you for some time". Julia replied back to me.

" And they agreed," I asked her.

"They had too, besides not everyone gets a chance to have a princess, as a best friend". She said to me with a smirk on her face. 

"Well am glad they agreed, I could definitely need a friend now," I said to her. 

" Am not your friend" Julia said to me, with a harsh tone.

"Then what are you", I asked her, waiting for her reply.

" Am your sister", she said, glaring at me. 

I smiled at her, as we both hugged thus miss mary weather came to inform that sir Scott needed me to come to the Royal Gardens. 

"Okay", I replied back to her, as I rushed off to meet him. 

"You sent for me," I said standing behind him.

" Indeed" Scott replied back, turning to face me. 

" It's concerning the dead pigeon right?", I asked glaring at him.

"Yes your majesty", he said back at me.

"Do you know who's behind it?" I asked him, waiting for a response. 

" No I don't but being careful never hurt anyone," he said to me.

" How do you mean," I asked him.

"Your father never had any real friends nor family", 

"All wanted the crown and the throne, so he didn't trust no one including his wife and his cousin " sir Warwick". Scott explained to me. 

" So you mean, I shouldn't trust anybody" I replied back to him. 

" Trust but in all you do, trust your instincts," sir Scott said as he walked passed me.
