Chapter 3: Chapter 3
The Queen dismissed her Aunt and asked her to get me out so she can offer me the job. But before Aunt Hera can make any excuses I pop up in front of her Majesty bowing my head saying;.
I am sorry to for my disrespect and interruption your Majesty, Aunt Hera. My Queen please allow me to speak. I asked still bowing my head not to offend her majesty.
Speak child and make it fast. As you can see I have an important business with Head seamstress. She speak with Authority and grace. After gaining approval I stand in a comfortable stance and introduce myself. The Queen gasp but I did not waste time and continued to speak.
Your grace I am Aviana the head seamstress's niece. I overheard your conversation with my Aunt and if you allow me to speak for myself I would like to take your offer as your personal seamstress. I may be an apprentice but my knowledge is exquisite and I've been taught by the Head seamstress of this boutique herself since I was a child.
I did not pay attention and unable to see the Queens reaction when she saw me. To my surprise when i look up and met the Queen's eyes she is crying and I can see Joy in her eyes. I don't know what to do and panicked.
Your grace are you alright? Have I offended you that much? I am so sorry my Queen. But the Queen did not say any word and hugged me as if I am someone dear to her. This is insane. It's the first time I've seen the Queen and I offended her, make her cry and the reason is not clear to her.
My child you did not offend me. She said in between sobs while looking at my Aunt. I can't move my body froze. I felt comfortable in the Queens arms. I felt secured that no one can ever bully me the way the kids on the village who are about my age bully me. The Queen continue to caress me as if she longed for this moment to come and i let her. It really feels good and warms my heart feeling her touch. I don't know why but that is how i felt and I longed for this in my whole life.
Aviana right? The Queen asked me. I met her gaze and answered yes.
Aviana would you come with me to the palace and be the daughter that i longed to embrace? I can't believe the Queen offered me that. I looked at my Aunt with questioning look and if this is true. She just nodded in agreement and utter without words that they need to talk later.
My Queen I do really apologize for interrupting your moment with Aviana but I need to talk to you please. Her Aunt asked as if the Queen is just an ordinary person to her. Everything that is happening right now is confusing her.
Yes you have a lot to tell me. And you know what I am talking about. I trusted you Helen. Speak up before I call the guards to arrest you. This is getting out of hand the Queen is now angry with Aunt Hera for some reasons I don't know.
Yes your grace I will tell you everything I know. Aviana please stay on my room for a moment. Aunt Helen don't want me to know what they are about to discuss.
No she stays. She has the right to know what happen 17 years ago. Tell me, tell her. It is just right for you to confess with her and to me. And i wish that my child has not suffer 17 years of her life with you and that filthy villagers. She can feel uneasiness the filled the air. Aunt Hera kneel down before the Queen with pleading eyes as if asking her to spare her life. The queen motion her to sit beside her.
What are you waiting for Hera start the explanation now. She ordered in an pissed off tone. And Aunt Helen obliged with out any hesitation.
Your grace it is known to you that 17 years ago as your personal seamstress and one of your chamber assistant, your best friend I have always do what you wished to the extent of covering your tracks so your father has no knowledge about your affair with Wilhem my brother.Your personal guard. Before you deliver Aviana we already gain information from the Kings butler that he is planning to vanish your child so my brother told me about his plan before he was arrested by your fathers guards. I swear before my brothers corpse that I will protect his family at all cost. On that night that you delivered Aviana your fathers guard has instructed the midwife to hand the child to one of the guards for execution. The king did not know that we already accomplished my brothers plan. I asked the help of my Aunt Lisa a midwife from a nearby village to offer the king her service which the gullible King has accepted. She then offered him to assist you on your child birth. He told Aunt Lisa of the plan. When its time for Aunt Lisa to hand the child over the guards,she acted to them that the child is dead before it has been delivered. and that is what Aunt Lisa told you,but you knew your child is alive cause you held her after giving birth to her. The King want to see the dead child's body which we already have prepared so the act would be clean and no one would doubt it. If you can remember one of your new chamber made Alliyah ask you to give her your child so she can dress her that is when Aunt Lisa told you that the child died by that time we already set Alliyah to travel together with Aviana to the deserted village where Aviana grow up. Alliyah take care of her like her own daughter. the villagers asked who the child was and Alliyah can't think of any excuse so she told the villagers that it's her child and that her father was killed on the battlefield. I on the other hand remain as your seamstress. I always look after Aviana's welfare from afar until that day.
Alliyah has a heart condition and when Aviana is 3 years old she passed away so I need to take the responsibility for her. I decided to left the palace and leave you note about taking care of my cousin's daughter that's why i resigned as your personal seamstress. For the past 17 years I tried my best to hide Aviana from the sight of your father until today.
----And that is Aviana's childhood story..''
