Chapter 345 - Three Hundred And Forty-six: Her Baby

The third point of view :

"All I did was give you one mission and yet you failed it, woefully!" Queen Roselle criticized Fiona who had her head lowered, refusing to meet the woman's irritated gaze.

Fiona had returned to Lincolnshire unfulfilled. The purpose of her going to that wedding was for her to separate Judy and that woman called Emily, but her plan didn't succeed at all. That Emily was a witch.

She stuttered, "I-I tried my best,"

"Tried your best?" the woman scoffed, "What has your best done?!" She stood from her seat and walked over to Fiona who still had her head lowered.

The queen continued, "Judy's coronation is next month and you of all people know a King can't be crowned without a Queen by his side. Judy is stubborn and would surely do everything to make that woman his wife, which is why I left you to do the job of removing that woman. What can you even do best, Fiona? "

Fiona clenched her fist, bitterness growing in her heart as that question sank in her head. What can she even do best? All her life, everything has been pre-made for her, and always, she got what she wanted.

But not this time. This was the first mission she couldn't accomplish even with all her father's resources and influence; everything rested on her effort. What could she do with the money? She couldn't bribe Emily with money to leave Judy since the woman was born with a silver spoon herself. Moreover, she had a fast-growing fashion line. What then could she bribe Emily with?

"You're a proper lady and for that, I chose you for Judy, unlike Emily. But don't be mistaken," she corrected the impression here, "I have nothing against Emily but her status disqualified her from this position. She's a divorced woman and I don't need drama in the royal family,"

Fiona didn't like the sound of that, she always had the impression that the queen thoroughly hated Emily, who knew it was simply because of her marital status. No, this was bad. Didn't this mean that there was a chance the queen might change her mind in the future?

"But looking at it now," The queen sighed, "It seems you're not experienced enough for this position,"

Fiona's expression paled instantly.

"I'll have to look for another decent woman who can compete for a man's attention and emerge victoriously. It seems I gave you a task bigger than your capability," the queen said.

Fiona immediately got on her knees, pleading, "Queen Roselle, Please give me another chance. I promise to be successful this time," sweat beaded her forehead as she begged for a second shot.

The queen smiled, then helped Fiona to her feet to her greatest surprise. The girl watched the queen perplexed, though the queen wasn't a harsh ruler - if you knew her personally - she never expected this kind of treatment.

"You love Judy, don't you?" Queen Roselle caressed her cheeks as Fiona nodded.

"Then don't worry about his affection, it would come on naturally the moment you two start up a family. Judy might love that woman now but when you become the queen, he'd come around. Royalty is more than just love, it's about sacrifice, keeping the bloodline going, and a strong kingdom for our people. I see myself in you which is why I told you this," The queen stood to her feet gracefully, her back turned to Fiona, "You can leave now. Hopefully, you make me proud this time around," she dismissed her.

Hope flared up inside of Fiona and she clenched her fist with resolve, she would win this battle. She had the queen and other qualifications on her side; she can't lose!

With that kind of determination, Fiona decided to go visit that woman and put her in her place. Back there, Emily had intimidated her, but now they're back in Lincolnshire, she'd show her who's the boss here.

"Oh, you're here," that woman told her immediately she entered her room. Fiona looked around her home with envy in her heart. They gave her one of the best rooms in the palace just because she was the mother of the first prince. Fine, all that would change once she married Judy and gave birth to her children.

"Why? You wanted me to remain there," Fiona didn't hide the venom in her tone yet that woman still smiled at her. Pretender!

Emily gestured to the maid that was assigned to her to leave, giving them privacy to have their discussion. Once the door closed, she turned to Fiona saying, "I'm sorry that we left you behind. We didn't want to disturb your beauty sleep,"

It happened that the next day when Fiona woke up, she was treated to an empty apartment. Emily and Judy had left without her and she had slept through it all. Not that she expected them to leave the next day anyway, Fiona had thought they would spend a day more before leaving for Lincolnshire - she had planned to execute all her moves then. Who knew that before she could even commence plan one, both had vanished.

True to Fiona's words, Judy and Fiona had planned to stay a day more, but they weren't ignorant not to notice Fiona's plans, hence left. Yes, Emily trusted Judy, it was still better safe than sorry.

"Are you sure you're sorry?" Fiona picked on that, "I'm sure you did it on purpose,"

This time Emily crossed her arms and dropped the act, "Let's say I did it on purpose, then what? When you come to the city, did I come with you? Was I the one who brought you there? Why then should I leave with you? Moreover, do I look like your personal alarm to wake you up when you oversleep?" Emily was done with the girl's princess syndrome.

Fiona couldn't take the anger anymore and pushed Emily who stumbled back yet gained her footing.

"Are you crazy?! What the hell is wrong with you?! "Emily yelled at her, shocked at what just happened. Does Fiona think picking a fight with her would solve her problem? What was her problem anyway?

"Yes, I'm crazy! What makes you so arrogant? Is it Kai?! You must be so proud to have the prince on your side!" Fiona finally lost it and grabbed her on the hair.

"Let me go! What the fuck is wrong with you?!" Emily yelped, trying to get her hands off of her.

"Weren't you so powerful back there? Now come on, do something!" Fiona pulled tighter. The fire in her heart was too much, she wanted Emily to feel her wrath. Sure, Judy would be angry later, but it was just a petty fight between two lovestruck women, what could he do?

"You're crazy! Let me go!" Emily struggled to be free.

Sure, she could take on this little bitch but there was no guarantee things wouldn't get messy. Moreover, She was pregnant and wouldn't run the risk of her baby getting hurt. She had to settle this diplomatically.

"Stop this Fiona!"

"Why are you begging? Weren't you so confident about ending me? Where's that arrogance now?! Tell me?!"

Both continued to fight until Fiona suddenly pushed Emily who tripped sideways, and hit the edge of the table hard, she fell to the ground. A scream of pain was drawn from her throat.

Fiona's eyes opened when a cry of pain escaped Emily's mouth; the anger inside of her dissipated as once. What was going on? She didn't mean to push Emily, it was done in the heat of the moment.

"H-hey," She cautiously shook Emily who laid on the ground with no plan of getting up with a face lined with a grimace.

"What's wrong?" Fiona couldn't understand why cold sweats were breaking out on her face.

"Call the doctor...." Emily said weakly, hands around her belly

"Doctor for what?" Fiona was confused why she needed a physician until she saw blood trailing down her leg.

"Oh my God," The girl gasped, fear overtaking her. What has she done?

"Please, get me help," Emily cried out, unable to sit up.

It was at that moment that Fiona went and opened the door only to see the maid about to reach for the doorknob too with Judy by her side. Her blood ran cold - she was done. Judy would snuff the life out of her, she panicked. The earlier confidence she had on disappeared as soon as her eyes connected with his murderous ones.

"Emily?!" Judy pushed her aside to get to the woman wincing on the ground. He was in his study going through the papers that needed his signature when the maid he assigned to Emily rushed in to tell him something was wrong; she had heard screams.

He couldn't tell what happened next, all Judy knew was that he had abandoned everything he was doing and rushed in here like a mad man. Judy stopped in his tracks when he saw his woman on the ground in a pool of blood. Anger made his blood boil and he had wanted to kill that bitch Fiona until he heard Emily's voice.

Judy at once picked her from the ground and yelled, "Call the royal physician!" to the maid while Fiona stood unmoving like a tree, her gaze was fixed on the blood that stained the floor.

"My baby," Emily whimpered, running her hand around her flat stomach with fear in her heart. She couldn't lose her baby….her baby can't leave just like that.
