“Are You That Queen?”
None of us said any other word, after that, so Alliana left even without informing me she was about to go.
Then, I began to recall those moments I spent in the forest, with Diana. There was a time she told me she was pregnant, but I could not even take it seriously.
Maybe I lost my memory then? Diana kept asking me to check the symptoms she had all over her body; she said, “not only has my belly grown, my legs are looking plumpy in a strange way.”
“Huh” I sighed, swerving through my high room. I called it high room, because it was a block of room built upwards, just around my main room.
“Yes, my legs actually looked plumpy!” Diana exclaimed, as she suddenly rushed into the room.
“I have actually been thinking about you, dear,” I told her, looked straight into her eyes and added, “well, I think it’s a good time to talk about what is bothering me.”
“What’s been bothering you, my love?” Diana asked me curiously.
“Do you mean you really want to know?” I questioned her, trying to make her explain everything related to the pregnancy matter.
“Yes, I was not pregnant then…” Diana started to explain, “I later went to meet Clara at the hospital where she worked then, and she said I was only becoming stronger.”
“Becoming stronger?” I asked her.
“Maybe she meant my being a Queen Luna, it makes me remember what Alliana told me about how Pappo Reye would be going to assign some duties to me, concerning the…” Diana said, but then I cut in.
“Alliana also knew about the fake pregnancy? Pappo too?” I asked her wittily; I was as well surprised, and was not expecting a yes from her.
“Not really,” Diana replied, “Alliana is a queen, and was born in Diliuni.”
“Can I know how that has to do with the pregnancy?” I asked Diana another question, planning to make her say everything she could say on what I wanted to hear, and know.
“I will ask you a question first,” Diana rejoined.
“Ask me, Diana,” I agreed, lifting my hands onto my jaws, to sit comfortably and hear her attentively.
“Who is the Queen of the Sea?” Diana asked me.
I turned my head around, right and left, expecting that Diana would be aware, herself;
“There are many queens who were born in Diliuni, and there are lots of seas in Manelda, Morrasta or Durra,” I explained in response.
“That’s witty!” Diana exclaimed happily at my details.
“Alliana is the Queen of Morrasta, isn’t she?” I asked, looking at her face, as if I did not know.
“She is the Queen of Morrasta, but we should know if she can control the whole world of Morrasta,” Diana suggested.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
“But, at least we would know about the pregnancy later, right?” I asked from Diana.
“Yes, I was instructed not to tell you anything about it, yet,” Diana revealed, “and that’s why I did not want to point out the matter.”
“I get it now,” I said, nodding my head in agreement.
“We need to know more about Alliana, she can help us know the King of Morrasta…” Diana muttered.
“I think that should be something we can begin easily, since we are in Morrasta,” I added, as I held a mug of tea onto my mouth and drank the sweet content.
“Hey!” Diana shouted angrily at me, snatching the mug from me.
“What’s the problem?!” I shouted back at her, also angrily.
“Don’t you know what you are drinking can make you lose your memory?!” Diana queried.
“No, but is that it?” I asked, almost scared.
“What you’re drinking is the demon wine, or tea…” Diana revealed, showing the diagram on the mug to me; she asked, “can you see the dragon there?”
“Oh… yes! Dragon?” I stuttered, as my hairs drew backwards and remained there.
“Are you recalling the Venzemeno? Anything you can remember about the Queen bee?” Diana asked me, as she bulged out her eyes. It was clear, that she was not expecting me to know anything about such, anymore.
“Yes, I can even talk about the Plinigola, and Coldier the seer,” I replied bluntly.
“Really? Why this?” Diana retorted disappointedly.
When she realized I was actually reminiscing what she would not let me, she flinged the mug and it broke into pieces, with the winish tea splattering all over the floor of the room.
I was not pleased to see the mug thrown away like that, so I insinuated an idea on its worth, “Diana, don’t you know the amount of money I got that mug?!”
“I don’t want to know!” Diana retorted more harshly than I was, when I confronted her.
“I swear, I will deal with you today!” I threatened her, having a hidden intention to know how powerful she could be.
“Can I swear too?” Diana asked and then talked immediately, “I will also show you how fated we have been since the beginning of all, and how strong a queen I am!”
“Queen of the Sea? Are you the Queen of Diliuni, which existed thousands of years ago? Were you born then?” I confronted her with words, displaying pure and real anger.
“Even if I am not the Queen of Diliuni, I am still a Queen!” Diana returned.
“And, have you forgotten I am an Alpha King?” I threw another threat at her.
“The last time I checked, I couldn’t find a kingdom controlled by you! And, you do not even have a Pack!” Diana exclaimed in reaction.
“Diana, don’t make me do what I do not want, please!” I warned her, as my eyes started grewing fiery, as red as hell.
“Even if you set the eyes on me to fight me, I wouldn’t fall for it!” Diana returned bluntly, holding her hairs to a side, and turning back to me.
“Why did you turn?” I asked her, but I did not look back to see what she wanted to do.
“I want to suppress with what you love!” Diana promised, adjusting the light clothes she was putting on.
“Are you dressing to go out?” I asked her, shaking my head many times.
“No, I must see the drama between a Queen and a King today!” Diana replied.
“Diana?” I exclaimed, as she turned back to me again.
