Chapter 19: Paint as a bad person
Jetaime and Lyn have arrived at the king's private chambers, "I'm trying my best, cracking my brains to make sure you are protected from those vampires and you seem scarier than them," Jetaime mumbles staring at her.
"I just don't like her and I don't want to keep pretending I do, it makes me sick," Lyn defended herself, "And besides I couldn't let her hurt Moesha," she added.
"This was the reason why I insisted no one from Malavon was to come here," Jetaime hissed. "Can I please keep her with me, I promise I won't ask anything else from you," Lyn pleaded.
"Pleaseee,"
"You're breathtaking, you break rules and cause scandals after being in the palace for just a day," Jetaime says staring at her while she smiles gracefully, she took it as a compliment. "Why are you staring," Lyn asks after feeling Jetaime's gaze piercing through her soul.
"But you are the most loyal person I know well aside from Byron, so yes you can keep her with you," Jetaime finally consented.
"Yes! Thank you, thank you," Lyn was excited it means a lot more to her than he could ever imagine.
"But if there is a problem because of her I will send her to the Kagon," Jetaime breaks the news to her. Her facial expression changes suddenly.
"Excuse me the what!" Lyn asked as if she didn't hear him the first time. "The Kagon, it a..." Jetaime tried to explain what it is, but Demelza already did so she knows what the Kagon is.
"Yes I know what kind of place it is, I was hoping you don't repeat yourself again," Lyn boldly says staring into his deep blue eyes so that Jetaime starts to feel uncomfortable.
"You do?" he sounded surprised. "Well don't worry she won't cause any trouble well at least if they don't ask for it," Lyn hissed going to have a seat on the sofa.
"What!" Jetaime howls in shock making her startled and lost balance, she fell to the ground hitting her hips on the hard floor, "och, och it hurts," she groans still on the floor before Jetaime could offer a helping hand. Madam Yina and a few other maids walk in with the king's food making everyone feel sorry for the queen.
Lyn continues to sob. Madam Yina tried to help her up, "Stop! All of you out!" he ordered with a hoarse voice. Once they were out Lyn stood up on her own and wipes her tears.
"You, this little evil brat you did that on purpose didn't you?" Jetaime wonders how quickly she changes from someone in pain to all well and smiling. Lyn ignores him and goes to have her meal even when Jetaime had not asked her to. Jetaime smiles it off and went to join her.
He marveled just how much of a heavy eater she was, Jetaime was struggling to finish his plate but Lyn had almost finished everything they had prepared for him.
"I wonder how you can eat so much and still remain in shape?" Jetaime couldn't help but say it out loud. "You mean to say I eat too much," Lyn felt sad and stood up from the table, she eats when she gets the chance and when she doesn't have anything to eat she doesn't bother too much.
"I mean…" Madam Yina knocks and enters to see only Jetaime on the table with empty plates, it was obvious he finish eating everything while the queen stood there and watch him. Madam Yina was disappointed to see this.
"I will have them clear the plates, can I take the queen to her chamber now, her lunch is served," Madam Yina said without waiting for the king's approval she holds Lyn's hand and pulls her out.
"Wait, it, it not what," Jetaime tries to explain the situation because he was really fond of Madam Yina, she was the closest thing he had to a mother. But it seems her new favorite is the queen.
"Never mind," he said to himself since they were long gone. He thought of ways to get back at Lyn for making him look like a bad person in front of Madam Yina.
"Take her majesty the Queen to her private chamber," Madam Yina instructed the maids among them were Pana and Moesha. "Yes madam Yina," the maid replied as they walk Lyn back to her private chamber.
"My lady, I'm sorry I got you in trouble with the king and that witch," Moesha mumbled on the verge of tears and was also glad Lyn came to her rescue.
"What trouble? I wasn't going to watch that witch bully you, so drop it," Lyn whispered making sure no one else heard her apart from Moesha.
"My lady," Moesha was grateful, clinging to Lyn's arm as they walk to her private chamber.
"The queen is no longer the princess of Malavon but the queen of the Zalvon Empire, you need to address her as such, savage girl," Pana pointed out rolling her eyes at Moesha.
"See this one too, who are you calling savage? These clothes are a thousand times better than what you are wearing, can you even breathe in that?" Moesha answers her.
"You-you," Pana winks at her as Moesha sticks her tongue at her, those two can't stand each other already. Pana wants to be Lyn's personal maid while Moesha feels she wants to take her place.
"Alright, enough you two stop arguing," Lyn said with a smile turning to look at both of them and then shifting her gaze back on Moesha and grinning, "Guess what? The king agreed to let you stay with me," Lyn announced. Moesha was thrilled to hear that, at least she can protect the princess.
"Really," she sounded excited. "Yes," Lyn grins.
Madam Yina wanted to forget about Jetaime's attitude towards the queen but she could, when she came to the palace and meet the king for the first time on the day of King Jetaime's coronation. He was just 5 years at the time. He was a strong child, he didn't look like someone who had lost both parents that same day.
She wanted him to be happy, she thought it was fate, then she saw him crying alone in a small corner, he was terrified since then she decided to stay by his side and protect him with the her best abilities.
Madam Yina walks back into the king's chamber, Jetaime was standing in front of the mirror and didn't see her come in.
"Goodness! You startled me," Jetaime hissed when he suddenly sees another reflection in the mirror. "You have grown up so well you don't need anybody's help," Madam Yina mumbles nonchalantly.
"You are no longer that little 5-year-old boy that use to hide and cry. You experience so much as a child no child was supposed to experience. You never had love in your life my boy in this cold palace she is the only one that can love you for who you are and the only one that can give you all the love you missed out on as a child." Madam Yina added Jetaime didn't want to remember all that he had gone through in the past years of his life.
He lowers his gaze fidgeting with his fingers. "What harm can that poor girl bring to you? You conquered all the three kingdoms, can you not treat this poor girl well?" Madam Yina mumbled she came with only one request and that is to plead with the king to treat the queen well.
Jetaime knew she said all that because of what she saw, 'she is anything but not a poor girl,' Jetaime thought.
"That is all I have to say, I'm sorry I went out of line. I will take my leave now," Madam Yina bows her head gently and immediately walks away. Jetaime bits her lips in anguish, he didn't know how to tell her it was all a misunderstanding.
