Second chapter in one day.
A very short one though.
Anyway, enjoy! :)
"Get out!" Mars screamed at a palace maid.
The workers in the room scurried out as quickly as they can, not wanting to endure another one of the queen's outbursts, and clicked the double doors of the grand chamber shut so that Mars was now alone with her thoughts.
Ever since once of the palace maids returned from doing an errand in town and reported to Mars that she had witnessed the king cozying up with a girl with blonde pig tails in a backyard, Mars' temper just simply unravelled and sputtered haywire.
Mars was positively sure that girl was Sierra.
But then again, the palace maid who spilled Mars the information remarked that she heard Endymion address the girl as Serena.
Could Sierra know that she's the reincarnation of the former monarch?
Well, of course not! If she did, she would have reclaimed her throne by now.
Unless...she didn't have the Silver Crystal. Then she wouldn't have any proof she's Serenity.
That's why she hasn't spoken up. She holds no proof.
HA!
Mars felt her flared temper sizzle down a bit. She seated herself on the chaise and opened a book that was lying on the table and began flipping through pages to help calm her down further.
She had an actual plan unwinding.
Instead of accusing the girl of theft or whatever Mars had formerly planned, she would accuse Sierra of a serious felony.
Impersonating a member of the royal court: Former Queen Serenity.
Impersonation is given a terse life time sentence, which is the only way Mars thought to permanently rid herself of competition.
Then again, Mars could always alter the life sentence to deportation. After all, she is the current queen.
Serenity no longer exists.
But no matter how many times Mars told herself that, she still can't shake off the fear of being upstaged by Sierra.
That was when Endymion burst through the double doors of the grand chamber.
