Unexpected Appearance
The day to choose who was going to be king finally came. Susan spent the whole of last night thinking thoroughly.
“Mum, you asked to see me,” Jacinta said and sat beside her mother.
“Yea, I think it's better you stay married to Matias,” Susan spoke.
“But why mum?” Jacinta asked stunned. Her mother promised to stop the marriage from happening, so what is she saying now?
“If Matias proves himself to be worthy of becoming the next king, that automatically makes you the queen of the entire kingdom. You'll be the most respected woman, and you'll have power to do whatever you like. I know you are concerned because he's one-eyed, but as a queen, you'll be able to get any man you want to be your bed mate.”
Jacinta found reason in her mother's word, if she became queen, she would be able to do whatever she liked and no one would question her.
“You're so smart mum,” Jacinta praised her mother, smiling.
