CHAPTER 36
The loud thumping of footsteps could be heard even from a long distance away as an angry lady made her way to her room, disregarding her graceful poise.
She had been humiliated so much today. Never in her wildest dream did she ever imagine such nonsense would happen.
She was supposed to be the chair lady of that meeting but even she was not aware that they had invited the queen to partake in it.
Normally when they had the meeting the last time, they felt Era was still too new to things of their kingdom and they would invite her at a later date.
If she had known, she would not have come late to avoid being the subject of ridicule today.
BANG!
GASP! YEP!
"My lady," Olivia greeted the second she laid eyes on Diona. She was a smart girl. Instantly she noticed that something was wrong and that her mistress wasn't happy and cheerful as she was before she left for her brunch with the dignified ladies of their kingdom.
"What is wrong, my lady? Who soiled your mood?" Olivia, asked cleverly.
"I hate her! I hate everything that pertains to her," Diona yelled out in anger, throwing her bracelet against the wall. "Arrghhh! Bloody hell!"
"My lady, what exactly happened?"
"If not that she somehow managed to manipulate the king, she and her scheming father, would she be sitting on that throne and wearing that bloody crown, giving her the right to talk to me like that?"
"Calm down, what happened exactly, my lady? Just pour it out."
"I came late. Just five minutes late and Era wanted to have my head for it."
"What! The nerve!"
"Exactly my point. She keeps forgetting that if not for her father's sorry plea… In fact, all my problems are just because of that nonsensical king that refused to surrender. If he had just surrendered or willfully died, then all this nonsense with she becoming queen would never have occurred.'
"What really did she do to offend your ladyship?"
"First, she refused to allow me to rise after I greeted her and kept me in that bending position. As though that wasn't enough, she made me bow twice and apologize to the ladies of the kingdom."
"WHAT THE!"
"I would definitely make Era pay for the humiliation she caused me today. And those ladies had the nerve to laugh at me."
**FLASHBACK**
After agreeing to do what Era said, Diona had no other choice but to turn and face the ladies and bowed before them.
"My fair and gracious ladies of Etheria, offer you my sincerest apologies. Please pardon my lateness and earlier disrespect."
Most of the ladies nodded their head in approval, while some ignored her, waiting for her to raise her head the second time and bow to them.
Just as was expected of her, she lifted her head, looked them all with bitterness in her eyes and lowered her head before them.
"If you are going to bow and apologize, shouldn't you do so in the proper way and manner?" One of the ladies voiced out. She was the wife of one of the Lord's of the kingdom.
She had never liked the way Diona behaved as though she was queen when in actual fact she was nothing more than a lady just like her.
When she heard of the king getting married, she jubilated within her but upon witnessing Era's reaction and all during the first breakfast, she thought the queen was weak.
But after witnessing this episode today, she knew it was a different something.
"Even the way you greeted and bowed to her majesty like you were forced. I suggest if you want our forgiveness, you do the proper thing and bow to her majesty.'
Diona bit down hard on her lower lip. That embarrassment was much and having this lady run her mouth in her presence, was just too much.
"What are you waiting for? Do it."
Managing a pretentious smile, she bowed with her back lowered properly to the ladies and repeated her earlier statement.
By the time she was done and they accepted, she turned to Era with her head lowered and her back properly bent and apologized again.
It was not till this point did Era allow her to raise her head and have her seat.
**FLASHBACK ENDS**
"Those fair witches, fair maidens my foot. Even Lady Fiona had the effrontery to request a proper bow from me. She should have been glad I even lowered my head in the first place. That lady has always been looking for a way to mock me," Diona complained.
"And now she got it, all thanks to your queen," Olivia sarcastically commented.
"Do not worry. He who laughs last, last best. Carry on, Era. Your days are numbered.. I would ensure I take that throne from you and watch you grove and beg for your life as I sit upon your royal throne."
