ROYAL ANNOUNCEMENT
Haron was the last person to sit at the huge dinning room, there was a lot of sumptuous dishes on the long golden table. Immediately he made an appearance, escorted by ten royal guard the royal family stood on their feet to acknowledge him and sat down after he had taken his sit.
Not much words were said during breakfast, it was a golden rule that no one must make any comments while eating unless it was crucial. Sitted by Haron's left hand side was queen mother Selena. She was Haron's mother, and the formal queen of Decreash, sitted by Haron's right hand side was Joanna the second queen mother of Decreash, she was Haron's step mother.
When Haron's father King Harris Fredrick gave up the ghost a month ago, there was a lot of commotion in the kingdom of Decreash. Mournful utterance and constant wailing became the food for the royal family. His death was unexpected and was a big blow to the detriment of the royal family. But luckily he had an heir so there was no altercation about who would rule after his death.
Harris had gotten married to two women, but he loved his first wife Selena the most. She was given special treatment and was the only woman allowed to venture into his chamber without any restrictions. When she gave birth to Haron, there was revelling and celebration through out the kingdom. Everyone but Joanna was happy. Infact a scornful glare was all Joanna could give when she had heard of the good news.
Definitely, none of her children will ever be the heir since Selena gave birth to a baby boy. She was filled with contempt and about a month later she gave birth to Prince Aaron. She felt euphoric and wished that he had come earlier, then Selena's child wouldn't have had to be the heir, that was years ago.
When the news of Harris death got to her, Joanna really shedded tears of anguish. Nothing would be the same without him, as if it wasn't enough that when he was alive she wasn't treated well, now that he was dead what will become of her and her children?
She wailed uncontrollably refusing to be consoled, while Selena gazed at her scornfully. Of course Selena was burdened by her husband's death but the thought of her son, Haron taking his place as the new king of Decreash soothed her nerves, so she didn't mourn for long. This two queen mother were rivals, although they fought a lot while Harris was still alive, now that he was dead things were sure to take a drastic turn.
Haron was made king three days after his father's death. Immediately he was crowned, his first duty was to pick a wife who would rule by him and lead the supreme kingdom of Decreash to greater heights. Everyone was speculating that he would pick two wives just like his father, but damn they were wrong. Haron went overboard and picked five wives! To the astonishment of everyone, and to the detriment of Selena.
Selena felt that with much daughter-in-laws in the palace her authority was sure to be challenged and she was not wrong. It was conventional for every ruler of Decreash to pick as many wives as they want without being questioned. But Haron exceeded the heist of everyone's expectations. "Five wives! Oh wow, how pathetic." Joanna cursed under her breath when her daughter Sofia had revealed the amusing news to her.
Frankly speaking when told to pick a wife Haron was baffled by the straightforward advancement. His coronation had just ended and now he was to pick a wife? Sparing a glance at all the names on the roll of paper, where the different names of prominent princesses across the estate was written he arched his brows.
Their features and special information was made known to him. After accessing them for two days Haron finally made his choice. When these princesses were bought to the kingdom they were filled with joy, how lucky they were to have been picked out from the numerous noble ladies in the states.
Each of them were taken to their royal chamber and a maid was assigned to each of them. They were all escorted by their royal guards and Haron deemed it fit to spoil them with gifts. They were all affectionate and curt towards one another but after a month they couldn't hide their contempt anymore, they despised one another, each one had what the other couldn't get…but that was what made them special.
The transquilty in the dinning room couldn't be underrated, but the silence soon broke when Tara glided to the dinning table with a moody contenance. Everyone was stunned by her attitude, she simply sat down and ordered the maid to serve her breakfast, disruptung the serene atmosphere. Tara was the fifth queen of Decreash, this lady here could kill a man just by winking her eyes, often referred to as the queen of seduction, Tara creator definitely took his time trimming her shape. Her chest alone was screaming lustrous, she was curvy and would definitely look stunning in any outfit.
Tara had long black curly hair with blue eyes, and thick short lashes, her eye brows were full, and her pink lips were plump and enticing. Tara doesn't need any makeup to look good, she was blessed with immense beauty but somehow Katie still surpassed her, only that she wasn't as curvy as Tara. A lot of prince fumed with envy when Haron had thrown a banquet for his five wive. He introduced them each for the first time, which was also the last, prominent prince across the kingdom couldn't help but commend his good taste. Haron was proud of his wives, but he didn't show it on his face, he had a cold look, and his aura was always giving royal vibe.
Haron didn't raise his head to see who had just walked in, whoever it was had just broken a golden rule. No one was fit to sit at the table when Haron had taken his sit, it was a sign of lack of etiquette. That was why everyone was present when he walked in, everyone but Tara. Tara didn't bother to comment, she ignored the weird glances that was casted at her, and ate her food gently, savouring every taste of the sumptuous meal.
Sofia, Joanna's only daughter wanted to comment but got a kick from her mother, from under the table, so she kept quiet. But there was also someone in the table that couldn't control their itchy mouth. "It's looks like you have formed an habit of arriving to the table late Tara, how unprofessional." Lora retorted with disdain but the glare she got from Tara almost made her choke on the spicy soup she was drinking.
"What's with the attitude." Lora muttered under her breath frowning.
Her plan was to put Tara in trouble but since Haron was mute on the topic she restrained from saying anything further. The reason behind Tara's recent behavior was simple, Haron's rejection. She had made so many attempt to seduce Haron, but the guard didn't even let her go near his chamber. What was so bad about a wife asking her husband to make love to her? Absolutely nothing, but Haron's perpetual habit were making her sick.
She had gone to try her luck last night, she did everything she could to make the guards see reasons why they should let her in but they stood unswervingly adamant about their masters command, which was simple. "Do not allow anyone into my chamber." He had cautioned, the slightest mistake from the guards could end their existence. Tara's heart burned with exasperation as she turned to walk away, immediately she turned one of the guards whistled in a catchy manner.
Tara heard him, she knew it was because of her curvy and protruding backside but she chose to be silent. "Bunch of idiots! She muttered under her breath as she walked away, making her way to her chamber, while on her way she bumped into Rachel who also seemed to be on her way to Haron's chamber, she eyed her in mere contempt and scoffed as she walked past her.
But the truth was that Tara hid behind one of the pillars to see the outcome of Rachel's advancement, but to her utter dismay, the guards didn't even let her get to where they stood before giving way for her to go in. Tara's heart exploded as she bit her lips in anger clenching her fist, turning swiftly she made her way to her chamber and when she got there alot of things ended up being broken. Tara vented her anger by sweeping the things on her dressing table to the floor." Ahhhgh!! She yelled as tears almost threatened to drop from her eyes.
Taking a good look at herself in the mirror she pouted her lips and striked a sexy pose. "What does she have that I don't? She asked rhetorically. She doesn't even have half of what I have but still..." She didn't finish her sentence before taking a expensive perfume and thrashing it on the floor. Her royal maids shrieked in terror at their mistress's behavior, this is so not demure.
They dared not try to stop her or else they were likely to receive a handful. Tara ended up getting a headache, she could hardly get her beauty sleep. Immediately a new day dawned Tara had made up her mind not to leave her room.
she couldn't ask the maid to bring the food to her chamber because that was against the rule, everyone was to eat at the family dinning room or else…..starve! After waiting for a while with anyone yet to notice her absent, extremely farmished Tara made her way to the dinning room, and immediately she saw Haron's face, her mood dampened.
Haron didn't even spare her a glance, he was aware of her presence at his chamber last night and could even hear her pleads but still chose to snub her. She wasn't the only wife he had so why was she being so desperate. Haron was trying to be extremely careful about his choice of wife to spend the night with. He wasn't so naive or blinded by lust just to make love to his wives. He had a trategy plotted in his head. Definitely if he had let Tara in, she might end up being the first one to get pregnant and the probability of producing his heir would be very high from her angle.
Unknown to him this was exactly what Tara was aiming at. Lora had seen this coming but she was skeptical about making a move, she was very calculative and knew when to strike and get immediate result. Therefore she waited in ambush for the right time, she wasn't going to act all desperate and make her plan look obvious, she was smart to a fault, after all, she wasn't referred to as the queen of tactics for nothing
After rounding up his meal, Haron wiped his mouth with a fancy napkin and slowly raised his gaze. This was the first time he was raising his gaze after sitting to eat his meal. "I have an important announcement to make." Immediately he said that everyone abruptly paused and gazed at him, all heads turned at the same time towards his direction hear this important announcement.
Haron hardly ever talked, his reticence was another obstacle, so now that he was talking everyone gave an ear to what he had to say.
Rachel was the only one still munching on her side dish, in a royal manner. She was already aware of what Haron wanted to say, that was what she had gone into his chamber to discuss with him last night, he had called her over to have a drink from her fountain of wisdom. They pondered on the issue all night and finally came to a conclude.
On a second thought Rachel decided to pause on her meal and raised her gaze, she wanted to see the look on everyone's faces when Haron released the bombshell.
"There is going to be a new queen in Decreash, as a matter of fact I am getting married."
