UNDESERVING

Chapter 21

"Our plan is going so smoothly so far, very soon I will take over the kingdom" a woman said while laughing hysterically

"Yes mother, I was actually scared when I first gave him the charm potion but was surprised that it started working immediately. That night he also believed that Gulf really killed his stupid father and also cheated on him" a younger woman said before joining her mother in the laughter

"I told you it was going to work, trust your mother..now Mew is terribly ill, Gulf has been thrown out of the kingdom and their son Gabriel is still little to take over the throne, it's our turn to shine my daughter, it's time to eat the fruit of our labour" the woman said while smirking cunningly

"I have no concern for the throne or whatever, my only goal is to have Gulf as mine and that foolish Mew just made it easier for me, I just have to act like a prince in a shining armor and save the day *hahahahahhaha* I will set out tomorrow to look for him, I know the Kingdom he was thrown to, our plan really worked well" a male voice said smirking also

"I really don't know what you see in that Gulf and also he has children so why do you still want him?" the younger woman asked confusedly

"He is everything I dream of and want in a man, I don't care about his children after all I would make him have my children in the nearest future so there is no bother at all. Only if he knew that his dearest husband or should I say ex-husband, wasn't in his right senses when he inflicted those pain on him *wiped fake tears mockingly before grinning* but now I would be his Prince Charming and kiss away his pains, I should get going now..I really cannot wait to have him in my arms" the male voice said grinning then took his leave

"I will get going mother before someone sees us together, take care okay" the younger female said as she bid her mother goodbye

"Everyone in this Palace are all foolish, puppets to my game..my game of getting the throne or should I say GAME OF THRONE *hahahahahhahaha* now I can have what I have always dreamt for" the woman said to herself before leaving.

KING MEW'S CHAMBER

"Mr Guzhong will his Majesty get well soon? It's been five days since he fell ill but there is no improvement" Mr Sing asked

Mr Guzhong is the healer friend of Mr Qiang who specializes in charm potions, he has been in the Palace since three days treating Mew.

"Patience Mr Sing, it would take two more days before the effect of the herbs start working effectively..do not worry, the King would get well soon, the charm potion really turned deadly in his body but he will survive it" said Mr Guzhong as he applied on Mew his herbs for the day.

"Guzhong is there a probability that when King Mew wakes up, he wouldn't be able to remember all his has done from the effect of the charm potion?" asked Mr Qiang asked

"A day or two before he recovers fully,he would remember every little thing he did, from the looks on you people's face..it seems like he really committed a grave sin, whatever it is,he would need his loved one by his side to help him pass through whatever memory he will get" said Mr Guzhong

"His wife, Queen Gulf is nowhere to be found and his son refuses to hear anything that concerns his father, he doesn't even know that he father is critically ill" said Mr Sing with a sad expression laced on his face

"That leaves us with her royal Highness,his mother..I guess she would be there for him as he gets the memories, I will inform her about it later in the day" Mr Qiang said

"Let's take our leave and let him rest" Mr Guzhong said and the others nodded before they all took their leave.

SHUFONG KINGDOM

Gulf has been staring into space for a long time which bothered the wife of the man that gave him refuge in their home, Gulf hasn't told them anything about his past or where he came from but they still took him in because he didn't seem harmful and most importantly he was with a newly born child.

"It's been five days my dear since you started living with my husband and I, tell me what bothers your poor soul, your health might deteriorate if you keep being like this, remember you have a daughter to take care of" said the elderly woman of forty-nine years as she sat beside Gulf

When Gulf didn't reply what she said after some seconds, she spoke again...

"I'm sorry if my house is not convenient for you, looking at your silk garment, you look like a person from a really wealthy family" said the woman

Gulf laughed with a hint of sadness and pain when he heard what the woman uttered

"It's nothing like that at all ma'am, I am actually an orphan, my parents both died when I was young. This place is actually better than where I lived, I was married into a wealthy home..that's how I got this garments" said Gulf with a sad face

"If you're married then why are you in a foreign Kingdom and at that with a newly born child, where is your husband?" the woman asked with a confused face

"I'm actually from SHEXING Kingdom and I have a son..." Gulf then started narrating what happened to him these past months, the burden was too much for him and he really need someone to talk to..to ask why he was so unfortunate..to ask where he went wrong in his marriage. At the end of his story, the woman and himself were crying, he told the woman everything that happened excluding that he was married to the King of SHEXING Kingdom

"It's alright my child, you have really suffered a lot but now you have to live for your daughter, I'm sure your son would soon come to realize that you're better off without your abusive husband, he's really a monster. It's a good thing my husband found you before anything bad could happen to you and your daughter. You can see us as your second parents okay, I'm already seeing you as my child and your child as my grandchild..she's so beautiful,just like her mother" the woman said which made Gulf blush

"Thanks ma'am for taking care of my child and I and for lifting off the burden in my heart" Gulf said gratefully

"You're welcome, now come let's go eat..you're looking skinny and please I would love it if you call me mom, my children are all grown up and rarely comes to visit me..those brats" the woman said while pouting which made Gulf break into laughter at how childish she seemed

"It's okay m-mom, I'm here with you now okay" Gulf said

"Mnnh let's go before Ava wakes up or she wouldn't let you eat in peace" the woman said and they laughed as they headed to the dining.

Gulf was really grateful that he met such a kind and loving couple especially the woman who was so funny and never cease to make him laugh. He has to move on now with the hope of seeing his son in the future, he just prays to the Heavens to take care of his son and keep him away from the evils of the Palace.
