Chapter 258: QUEEN ROSE’S JUDGEMENT

Rose smiled at her husband and sister.

She was dressed in a red dress to match her vibrant red hair and her hair was filled with some white roses.

"Tell me what?" Rose asked.

Roland wanted to lose his mind.

"Nothing we were just discussing matters..." he said. "A very boring but and I am sure you would not be interested."

"But why the need to hide it anymore?" Cherry asked him. "She deserves to know. I can not put my sister in the dark for so long."

Rose crossed her brows together confused at the way they were both contradicting each other.

Roland’s heart was beating so fast.

What game exactly was cherry trying to play?

If Rose found out that would be the end of it all.

They will be thrown out of the Kingdom and set for exile. Perhaps even worse. Both of them!

Cherry rose up to her feet and Roland grabbed her hand and tried to pull her back.

But she jerked it free from his grasp and went on to where her sister stood.

Roland himself rose up to his feet in anxiety.

His heart was in his mouth.

She looked at the both of them.

"I was tired of this dark secret between us." Cherry said. "My heart is ever so heavy. It has me famished and exhausted. You are my little sister and you know that I will never keep anything from you."

"Cherry stop this!" Roland demanded. "Rose do not believe a word of what she wants to say. They are all lies!"

"I believe that I can choose what I want to believe or not." She said in a very annoyed manner.

Cherry smiled at her and gave a very deep sigh. "The truth is that.....

Rose was leaning in waiting to hear what she had to say.

Roland was already sweating as his stood by his throne, Terrified that he was not going to he do anything.

That this was his very end and Rose would never forgive him once she discovered the truth.

"We were making a surprise snow party!" Cherry said in excitement.

Roland dropped back down in the chair from relief and put his head in his hands.

Rose laughed. "Really? Was that what you wished to tell me?"

Cherry nodded. "Yes. What else did you think I was going to say?"

Rose shrugged. "I can not quite tell. But I must say that it seemed like something more scary. The way you said it."

"Oh now come now sister." Cherry said as she adjusted one of the roses behind her sister’s ear. "You know that I will never do anything to hurt you."

And then cherry pecked her cheek softly.

Rose gave a very awkward laugh. "Well I do suppose that I might have been thinking a bit too far."

Cherry gently nuzzled her cheek and adjusted the wrinkles off of Roses’s dress. "You need not let your head go so far. I assure you that nothing is amiss."

Then cherry smiled back at her and said. "Your husband came up with the idea of making a little snow party for you to celebrate the sudden winter the gods gave us. Look at him all scared to Witt about me revealing it."

"I suppose that a winter party is lovely." Rose said with a genuine smile. "And yes, he does look scared. Like he has seen a ghost of some sort."

They both turned to look at Roland who was still looking exhausted and tired.

And then both women laughed together.

You would believe that there was nothing but pure love in between them.

And no betrayal or detest.

She sighed and said. "But why did you reveal it to me though? You should have let it remain a surprise."

"Dear sister, you have been quite exhausted. Everyone can see it in your eye.s." Cherry informed. "You are losing weight and your sickness has been bad lately. I wanted to give you something to lighten your mood. And you do know that I am terrible at keeping surprises to myself."

They chuckled.

"The party will be held tomorrow evening in your honor." Cherry said.

Rose gave a weak smile. "I do really appreciate this gestures."

Cherry gently touched her cheek in affection. "There is no need to thank me when we are sisters. The love we have for each other is enough."

Then Rose looked back up at her husband. "You can be calm now Roland. I am not going to kill you." She said.

He gave an uneasy laugh and then she asked. "I meant to ask. What the meeting is about. My subjects informed me that something about an invasion from Xaden to Bale’s pack."

Cherry cursed in her mind.

She forgot that despite the fact the Queen had temporarily relinquished her legislative duties as Queen till she was well, she still had eyes everywhere that told her of what was going on in the castle.

"Yes, it seems that Bale had used his daughter as a spy on Xaden." Roland said .

The Queen gasped softly. "The slave, Jasmine?"

"Yes." He nodded. "And what’s more is that the girl Jasmine was an imposter. She was not his real daughter, or perhaps I meant to say that she was not the daughter Xaden had wanted. She was a bastard and it seems Bale had given her up instead of his daughter with Luna Maria."

The Queen breathed in taking in all the information. "How dreadful."

"The details are long and I assure you that they will only tire you." Cherry said Chirping herself in to try and prevent the Queen from

Getting interested in the case.

"And what was the judgement pronounced?" Rose asked ignoring her sister as if she had not even heard a word from her.

Roland gave in a very deep sigh and then said. "Bale has gone against the laws of the accord. He disobeyed them. I gave Xaden the right to execute his own judgment and stepped away from the matter. It was the best thing I could do. My hands were tied up."

Rose was quiet and then Cherry hoped that maybe she would revoke Roland’s claim.

She was the only one who could revert the judgement that he had made.

"I am not disputing what you are saying." Rose said. Cherry was delighted.

This meant that Rose was going to change the laws he had a made.

"And you are right." Rose said.

Cherry’s face went an instant white.

"Everything that is happening now is happening because of Bale." Rose said. "He murdered those people and defied our laws. If the law of the accord wasn’t his shield then I would have personally ordered his execution myself."

Cherry was so stunned at her sister’s words that all she could do was stare in amazement.

She knew that her sister had been fierce fighter and ruler.

She had been strict and just like how their parents had been.

And that had irritated Cherry.

What more was the fact that the people had always followed her like she was a god.

But since she had been ill, she had stayed away from the legislative issues and law making rules in the court.

Well since she had lost her daughter Scarlet, she had been weak and ill.

But seeing her sister speak with so much conviction had shaken and surprised her.

Rose sighed in heavily. "Bale had made a lot of decisions. Was cruel to people and mass murdered people under the guise of the accord. Laws need to be changed. People should not be let to go Scott free because of someone for it or preferential treatment . This decision is the only amendment we can make to appease the likes of Xaden who lost his family."

The Queen sighed heavily. "I still wish we could have done something. I wish we could have changed what happened. I see tnat young man and all I see is rage and anger. I do not blame him at all. His wrath is right."

Cherry could not say a word to counter what her decision was.

Because she was still trying to be a good sister and if she made the wrong statements then her sister could begin to get suspicious about her.

"I think that is something we all agree on." Roland said.

"Do you not think so cherry?"

That snapped her right back to reality.

"What? Huh? What did you say? I beg your pardon my mind was elsewhere." She said .

"I said that it was something we all agree is it not?" He asked.

Cherry knew what he was doing.

He goading her because of how she had played tricks on him.

She smiled her teeth and said. "Of course. Bale needs to be punished and Xaden needs to finally get judgement."

Rose nodded in agreement but she was blind to see the little unspoken interaction between the both of them.
