A little minute past mid-day A Royal Vizer busted into our suite and demand my presence in the Suite Hallway.
Surprisingly.... The Queen was waiting with her other Vizers.
The debutantes were gathered at a corner and....
Lady Mabel stood before the Queen smirking at me.
I hasten my foot step and curtsey.
"Lady Mabel accused you of plagiarising her draft" She began without acknowledging me.
"Did you?" she added
I knew it will come to this.
"So funny how she had quickly reported the crime she had committed the other way round"
The debutante gasped.... That seems to remind me I just spoke Back to the Queen.
Frudge Bell
"I asked you a question.... Did you?"
"I did no such thing your grace" I swallowed heavily
"Really"
"Yes, Your grace. I draft them with my Lady.. Lady Maria"
"Interesting...The debutantes said they didn't see you draft for when they were practicing their skills you were absent"
Duh.... I was practicing my too.
In the East wing Library.
"Your other Lady testify to this" she points at Dorothy.
She could be the snitch.
"I summon her last night and she had stated that she only brought you The notes and ink and didn't see you engage the skill of practicing".....she paused...."Lady Mabel also brought her witness and all the debutante testify to seeing her draft her work"
"So Tell us..... where were you"
Goodness I couldn't tell her about the East wing Library.
It was the only place that was save from preying eyes.
I scanned every face in the Hallway. They all had their eye glued to me.
Maria facial expressions shows she's indeed worried about me.
Lady Mabel was fighting with lips to keep in Her smile.
The Queen was watching me with her expecting eye.
"I was....I was practicing" I say in my best Lady voice
I refuse to be shamed.
The Queen laughter Echoes in the Hallway. I shiver to the Bones.
She claps her hand and walked in circles. She stops and face her Vizers.
"Which do you think is telling the truth"
It wasn't a question.
She turned around and began to walk towards me.
"Do you know what Lady Mabel told me my sweet" she stops some foot from me
"She said You will pin this on her and try to paint her bad because You were jealous her father whom you both share Rejected you..... she Says you are The bastard daughter"
Loud gasped filled the Hallway.
"Her words not mine" The Queen chuckles
I blink continually.
