Jia immediately got up and bowed ,she wasn't given any attention grandmother Naana asked me to follow her into the Royal Court, I was nervous because if I lost the debate my life would be terrible.
We got into the Royal Court, lemuel smiled to me from his throne, I loved his smile because it gives me hope in times of the disstress before I could even give my courtesy, King father restrained me, the queen gazed at me , her eyes turned blood shot king father was furious because he was persuaded to believe that queen Naana his mother, was a trouble source which he had to get rid of ,
queen Naana wasn't shaken at all, I was a bit terrified, I heard my mom's voice form my pendant telling me to remain calm ,the officials and nobles began to murmur. King father gave a sign and the hall was silent
Iris why do you want to be an official princess I stood still my voice was loud but calm I looked straight into King Fathers eyes and said
King father my name is Iris von lynx and bearing name alone gives me the right to be an official princess I have been in the shadows for far too long
[Before I could finish the sentence]
Say no more, you bastard Queen vesti interrupted
she's princess Iris von-lynx, although she's illegitimate she has royalty in in her blood this is her right Vesti ,queen Naana backed me up ,
don't tell me you want your grandchildren our grandchildren to be in the same class as this illegitimate daughter queen Vanessa asked
watch your mouth Vanessa ,we are not illegitimate, lemuel protested
I've had enough already, King father exclaimed Iris go back to your Chambers and do as your stepmother says and if you are not ready to follow her orders you can leave this Palace with my name behind ,king father protested
I was shocked because even his mother's wishes were nothing in his sight ,I immediately left to my Chambers to avoid any further humiliation queen Naana and lemuel followed me I became hopeless that night, queen Naana received a letter from King father telling her to suspend all her visits from Hamcrest the letter was indirectly the bunishing her from entering from entering the palace she said goodbye and left that instant. she looked surprised because a son who she raised to be lovely has now turned into a monster .
I was locked in my Chambers again but the situation was worse than before, I was fed once a day,Jia had no chance of visiting me the food was specifically made for me it was salty and full of pepper the odour of the food could raise a dead rat life was miserable that are imagine I became the laughing stock in the palace both from royals to slave.Queen Naana and lemuel were all powerless when it came to matters concerning me because they weren't my father. Lemuel left to Ectodious which was beyond the continent,all I could hold on to now was death or getting married if that would ever happen.
