Queen magret walked towards her brother as though she wanted to hug him but she paused and looked at him pitifully.
"I am afraid my dress will get dirty brother," Queen Magret said in a said voice. It seems she regrets her actions of wearing a white dress but king Santana knew her better. She was calling him dirty.
King Santana sneered inside. Their father was already dead and there was no need for him to act so lovelily toward her. But he composed himself seeing that there were many eyes on him.
"Magret this is meeting, you have to wait outside," he said in a soft voice like a brother who doted on his sister.
"I know, I visit today to attend this meeting. Father never disown me. According to his wish, the Phineas family wealth and the title is mine, I have the right to seat here," she replied in a flat tone.
"What non are you saying? Yes you may have become the heir since Father has no son left, but the Phineas household should be taken care of by your husband," King Santana said.
"Ahh! Unfortunately, my husband has so much to take care of and will never have time for a small thing like our family property.." Queen magret sound regretful but it was clear that she was proud of whoever was the husband mentioned.
"Magret, you are no longer a child. You can not still be causing trouble. You are already married," king Santana would have said with children but he was not sure if she had any so he avoided mentioning that.
"Brother Santana still knows me best," Queen magret smiled as her eyes withdraw from her brother and looked at all the faces in the room.
"Magret please you just returned, behave," king Santana scolded.
"you said it already, I am a woman now. Stop scolding me like a child. Even when I was a child, I could differentiate play from business," Queen magret said in a cold tone. This brother of hers. She knew he had a son.
So she did not feel regretful that he may die that day. She carefully looked at the hall hoping his son was also not seated. " Where is the prince Roderigo?" she asked. She was not sure what the man looked like.
The only reason why she cares about saving the boy is so that her father''s name and household can be preserved.
"He is not here, I told you this is an important meeting. Guard, please see my sister out," king Santana said with impatience.
He could not believe she returned to cause trouble after so many years. The guard did not dare mover they were frightened.
"Lord Gab, that is my family seat, Get up," Queen magret said without paying attention to what her brother had just said.
"Magret, your present is not needed in this meeting, please leave," His voice was devoid of any emotion but Queen magret was smiling sweetly.
The three princes of Avalo bowed their heads, scared of her noticing their presence. She acted differently. The Queen magret this princes knew never talk back. At first glance, she looked innocent and sweet but she always has the last laugh.
Among all their father''s wives, she was the only one from an unknown origin. This would have made her an easy target. Those wives and mistresses who picked on her lost their life''s as consequence, for their wrong assumptions.
The three brothers were beyond shock. If this woman was the Queen of Avalo and the daughter of Venums royal family. Declaring her identity alone might have stopped the war years ago.
"Or is she just a look like?" One brother whispered to another. Legend had it that everybody was one side of the coin and another side was somewhere else in the world.
So people are fortunate to meet their look-alike while others do not. This does not mean they do not exist.
" Maybe," the three brothers were not sure of anything. Although as of the time of the war, Julia''s mother was the Queen. It was after her death and the end of the war that magret became the Queen. As of that time, lord Phineas was already dead and king Santana did not bother to look for her any longer.
He felt more at ease with the thought that she was already dead.
Lord Gab was surprised. He was indeed seated on the Phineas family chair. After the death of lord Phineas, he had been the one that took over his position in the royal council.
"Lady Magret... Lord Gab was trying to say but Queen magret cut him off. " It is Queen Magret, " she declared. There were surprise gaps from a few people but her revelation made her brother angry. While the three brothers broke into a cold sweat. " she is the one" they all whispered.
They knew that the Queen could not travel aimlessly. Maybe her son sent her to find out what was going on. They were scared because their brother always follows a track to the end.
If they got exposed today, they knew they could forget about living.
"What business of us is it if you are now a Queen?" king Santana roared. He has completely lost his patience. Besides, it was not their business if she was a Queen. So long she was not the Queen of Venums it had nothing to do with them.
Queen magret ignores him again and looks at lord Gab, " Do not waste my time, you can return to your seat at the end of the table. The Phineas family seat was just after the of the kings. It was the second chair to the head of the table. That was the seated king Santana was seating. Since he was the one hosting the meeting.
"Guards throw her out," He commands no longer bothering to act accordingly. Faced with his command the guard got scared and decided to take a step forward.
"Dare." That was the only and first word that came out of prince Sébastien''s lips. He had been standing behind his mother and observing the entire table. He saw how the three brothers were trying so hard to hide their faces from his mother.
Prince Sébastien was really too lazy to talk to these people. He had only been quiet because he did not want to ruin his mother''s fun. Who knows if she will make a fuss about it
If she was not present everyone in the room would be dead already. This was a kill or get killed world.
When the two guards heard his words they immediately pause on their track. Remembering how the young man has spoken once and the two guards dead outside. These men could not take a step.
Meanwhile, all the attention of the lords and kings on the table turned to the voice that spoke.
He was standing behind his mother like a firm rock. His face was void of any emotion it made him seem like Rock that was indeed rooted to the ground. The people in the hall did not understand why just a single look at him frightened them.
"who is he?" they all wanted to ask this question but their throat went dried.
