The guard with the key obeyed immediately and the gate was wide opened. The king stepped in and scoffed irritably at her.
“Raise her up!” The king ordered icily.
A guard moved forward and made Ciara to sit up since she couldn’t sit up because of how weak she felt.
Everywhere was stinky because she hadn’t had her bath in days now. Probably, her mouth would stink too if she opens her mouth to talk.

She hadn’t brush her teeth too and all she does was cry.
She had cried so hard these past few days that she was too weak to cry anymore and tears refused to fall out again.

Her eyes were so puffy and she had eye bags underneath that made her look like a scary old witch.
She look too tattered.

“My…king…” She managed to stuttered lowly.
What was the king going to do to her?
What was going to be her punishment?

But one thing she was certain was that, she was not going to allow him punish her too hard. She was gonna find every possible way to escape the king’s wrath.

“Now, are you ready to speak the truth?” The king asked gruffly as he crouched in front of her.

“I…I…I…” Ciara stammered, finding it hard to talk. She didn’t even know what to say.
She couldn’t find the exact words to say.

“Guards!” The king called lowly. Two guards walked in immediately and stood beside him.

“Take her away and behead her!” The king ordered coldly and started out of the cell.

What?!
Ciara thought her heart would jump out of her chest at the king’s statement.
“My king please I’m sorry. You can’t do this to me. Okay, I’m sorry. I’m gonna say the truth, but please don’t kill me.” She begged in tears and laid flat on the floor with her hands stretched out.

“Too late already. I gave you a chance but you misused it.” The king grunted out and finally walked away.

“Noooooooo! Please my king. I’m sorry. I’ll never try to harm the confessor ever again.” Ciara wailed loudly as tears poured out in fast current from her eyes.
She was so pained that she wished she could just die right there instead of going through the pain of being beheaded.

“Let’s go!” A guard grunted out and grabbed her roughly by her arm while she continued to wail loudly, even as the guards took her away.

Isabelle held her stomach and groaned out lightly.
Her mouth tasted so bitter and for the second time in just a few minutes, she had vomited the food she had managed to eat.
She was sitting miserably on the ground just outside the backyard. She was so sick and her head was so hot.

She didn’t know what was wrong with her and she hated the feeling. She hated being sick.

She held her stomach which was hurting a little and groaned in discomfort.

“Isabelle.” She turned sharply to see Choice standing behind her and looking thoughtfully at her.
“Are you sure you’re okay?” Choice asked with a meaning look.
Isabelle sighed and took her head back to stare at the ground.
She covered the vomit with sand and stood up.
“Like I told you before, I’m fine Choice, I’m just tired. I think it’s stress. I’ll be fine.” Isabelle rushed her words even when half of her didn’t want to believe that it was stress.

“When last did you see your monthly flow?” Choice suddenly asked.

“Huh?” The question seemed to ring a bell in her ear and she didn’t know why Choice would ask such a question.
What does seeing her monthly flow has to do with her being sick?

“Em, that was three month ago?” She replied – more like a question.
“What!” Choice yelled in shock, scrutinizing Isabelle who looked absolutely lost and had no idea of what Choice was actually heading to.

“Well, I thought it was just getting delayed. That was why I didn’t pay attention to it and I forgot too.” Isabelle shrugged, completely clueless.
“Delayed for three months and you think it’s nothing?” Choice asked and sighed. She stood in front of Isabelle and held her hands in hers.
“You’re pregnant Isabelle. The symptoms – the dizziness, tiredness, vomiting and even the delay of your monthly flow. You’re pregnant.” Choice confirmed with a nod.

“What! No! It can’t be!” Isabelle gasped and withdrew her hands from Choice’s.
She found what Choice had just said ridiculous.

“You can’t be serious, are you?” She asked, with her eyes bulging out.
“I’m serious Isabelle. You’re pregnant!” Choice said seriously.

“Oh!” Isabelle was suddenly so speechless and she saw the seriousness in her eyes. She was telling the truth!

She was really pregnant!
Absentmindedly, her hands went to her almost flat tummy and she caressed it gently.

“A life is growing inside of me?” She asked no one in particular as her hands continued to caress her tummy.
Surprisingly, she could feel it. There was a little bump already.

It all became suddenly clear to her.
The sickness, everything – she was pregnant, with a life inside of her and she had been completely clueless the whole time.

But then, she suddenly remembered something…
She was carrying the king’s child!
She was pregnant for the king!

*******************

“My king, a letter was sent in this morning.” Draco bowed before the king and handed him a sealed envelope.
“You can leave.” The king dismissed him.
Draco bowed and walked out of the king’s library.

King Ceasar opened the envelope and it was a letter from the king of Muzana kingdom saying that, the royal party has been postponed because the king had fallen ill.
It was gonna be held in two months time.
“Really?” The king sighed as he dropped the letter on his table.
He rested his back on his chair and exhaled, staring into space.

**************

Jeffery got back from where he had gone to work in a farm.
He got inside the small hut, looking very tired and weak. He was all sweaty and sticky too.

After a short while, he walked tiredly to the kitchen and as he opened the pot, with the intention of seeing an empty pot as always, he was shocked to the bone when he saw a well garnished vegetable soup.
He was really too shock that he couldn’t even find his tongue.
“Hope you like the food?” He turned to see Roseline standing in the kitchen’s doorpost and staring at him.
He turned to look at her quizzically and he still couldn’t find his tongue.

“I get you’re shocked because you were expecting to see an empty pot as always. I just wanted to surprise you today.” Roseline smiled lightly at him.

“There’s rice inside a pot in the cabinet. Enjoy your meal.” Roseline smiled and walked away.
Jeffery was still unable to find his tongue as he stared at the empty doorpost as Roseline had gone.
He turned back to look at the assorted vegetable soup and he couldn’t help but salivate.
His stomach suddenly rumbled, reminding him that he was hungry and needed to eat.

“Thank you Rose.” He smiled to himself after finding his tongue.
Without waisting any more time, he took out a plate and dish out enough rice and vegetable soup.
He licked his lips and sat on the floor and drew the plate closer to himself and started to devour the food hungrily.

“Princess Debby!” Sandy suddenly called as she barged into the princess room.
Princess Debby who was just standing by the window side, turned to look at her personal maid.

“What is it that you have to barge in like that?” Princess Debby frowned her face and walked towards her bed and sat on it.

“My princess, I finally found out something about the maid – Isabelle.” Sandy said with a mischievous grin and princess Debby’s face suddenly lit up expectantly.

“Okay…what is it? Go on and tell me.” Princess Debby urged.
She was so curious to know what Sandy was going to tell her.
She hoped it would be something that would be useful in getting rid of her.

“Isabelle, she’s…”
