The Queen Wicked Deeds

[Well done, you win the first mission.]

The message in red was fascinating. So fascinating that the Princess couldn't help but post it in the forum of the school.​​

"This is too much, don't you think, Princess?"

Anne sipped her cup of tea. "No… my dear Billie, to gloat on one's victories never gets enough."

Billie was dumbfounded, but then he thought it back and nodded. It was true. If it were him, he will paint a mural the size of the entire hall wall.

"Then… what are you going to do now, Billie?"

Anne was waiting for the boy to kneel and plead for mercy, maybe even swore his loyalty to her but… one minute, another cup of tea, another fruit tart, and more minutes, with many other cups of tea and cookies involved.

However, the young man didn't say a word.

"What?"

Billie laughed, "I won't bow to you, yet, Princess."

Anne raised a brow and nodded.

"When?"

"There are a lot of missions there, don't get too ċȯċky."

"I won't dare," she said with a sigh, "I just wanted to spare you the pain and pointless effort."

John was also waiting by the side. He didn't want any cookie, nor to be at the same table as the Princess for a long time. The fear of playing chess with her was still inside his bones.

"Let's go," Billie stood up and took John's hand. However, before he left the garden, he stopped and without turning his head he said, "I will win the next mission. Beware, Princess."

"I will wait for you."

Anne sipped her cup of tea and continued her peaceful morning. Elton was by her side feeding Gandalf cookies, Tia was reading a book and Moira was practicing her sword skills with James.

"Sigh…" Anne looked up to the sky. Some petals from the spring flowers were dancing in the breeze. She was missing a person with emerald eyes, and also, a tiny demon with red eyes.

[Beth…

The news about the young lady of the Hesse Family traveled the world. They all knew that the Master had postponed the date to introduce the rumored heiress to the world of business.

However, it was time. It was said that she was a genius that had already finished several degrees in College with top grades.

She was even leading an investment company that she started on her own, and was now one of the most influential women below thirty years old.

The world could not be more proud to have someone like her in their ranks of humans. She was a figure that will change the course of history and the path of humanity.

The talks about her were surrounding the world.

"Do you see her?"

"I can't… there are bodyguards in the front."

Many people were waiting to have a glimpse of her walking into the red carpet to the event. They knew she was beautiful, enchanting and a dream come true.

The reporters were fighting to get a photo of her to post on the cover. The paparazzi were waiting to see who will come to escort her. And the crowd only want to see her smile.

Then the moment they all waited for, the long limousine arrived just in time. One car was escorting it in the front and another in the back.

Then a bodyguard walked to the door of the limousine and two others were preparing themselves to stop the rush of people trying to come forward.

After the bodyguard was sure it was safe, and the crowd was silent, he opened the door.

A man in a white suit came down from the back seat. He was gorgeous. The blonde hair and the bright blue eyes were beautiful.

"On my, is that… is that?"

"Yes, it is the CEO of RED corp."

"I can't believe it… are the rumors true? Is he her fiancé?"

"I don't know, … look!"

"I am fainting…"

The man in a white suit turned around and extended his hand to the beautiful woman in a red dress inside the limo.

She took out one leg with a high heel and then the other while she graciously moved out. Her hand was on the elegant man in a white suit helping her stand up.

The moment the crowd captured the face of the young woman. The silence was invaded and obliterated by cheers, a loud shout of love, proposals of marriage, some 'Look here, Miss Hesse', and reporters trying to capture a word from those beautiful lips.

Beth moved her hand to salute the audience, and the man in the white suit gave her his arm to escort her through the path of glamour.

"What a beautiful couple."

"A King and a Queen…"

The words reached the ears of Adam, and he smiled. He looked at Beth for a sign too, but she was engrossed in her act of heroine of the masses.

They didn't reach the end of the carpet as many reporters were asking for a couple of words from her. She indulged them briefly.

Adam was looking at the girl with fascinating golden eyes, enjoying her moment. He knew that she was waiting for it.

However, just then… the crowd started to make ruckus again. Another limousine had arrived.

The man coming out from it was escorting a beautiful girl with blond long hair. They looked like a cool and elegant couple.

The man had black hair and gorgeous emerald eyes. The woman was wearing a white, beautiful evening dress, elegant and perfect for her fascinating figure.

"Is that CEO Mills?"

"I can't believe it… I am seeing this… just kill me now."

"He came with Norah Thompson."

"I heard the rumors but… I can't believe they are true."

"Is she his fiancé?"

Beth didn't turn around but continue with the many interviews with her person. Adam was now holding her waist in an intimate way also not minding the newly arrived couple.

"Darling, let's move to the hall."

Adam whispered in her ear and she nodded with a little smile.

"Okay," she waved her hand to the crowd and walked to the entrance.

The whole time, she didn't look at the back, not even for a brief moment, not when the emerald eyes of Henry were set on her with a burning gaze.

***

The venue was beautifully adorned. Countless roses illuminated the tables with their soft fragrance. The people in the hall were enjoying the place while reuniting in small talks and laughs.

A man in a wheelchair was in the middle of the talks, though. He didn't come from the front entrance, and he was waiting for his dear granddaughter to arrive.

She was the star of the show, after all.

"Grandpa!"

Beth moved quickly to the side of the old man and kissed his cheek.

"My dear, you look so beautiful today."

"I am always looking beautiful."

She wasn't modest at all. It was a trait her grandpa encouraged many times.

"Of course not," the old man said with a raised brow, "you don't like to dress up in the house at all. What a lazy granddaughter I got."

Beth could only smile as she couldn't shout and yell at the old man in front of so many people.

"Master Hesse," Adam took the front of the words battle before the little woman could explode from the big smile she was acting out.

"Oh, dear Adam, you came!"

The old man was sizing up the man in a white suit and nodded. "You look like me in my best years."

Adam could only cough, "thank you, Master Hesse."

"Of course, you should thank me, it is the biggest compliment. I was such a handsome man."

Beth giggled when seeing the stiff face of Adam.

"Well, my dear, why don't you go and enjoy the party, go look for your little friends."

"What? Are you shoving me off this fast?"

"My dear, I was in the middle of a serious talk with Mr. Hill and this jerk Norman."

Beth looked and greeted the two old men with a smile. They had been friends with the old man for long ago, and she knew that she couldn't separate them for so long.

"They must be scheming something."

Adam whispered.

"They are betting on something silly again."

Beth smirked, remembering the many times she had to stand the stupid bets on her. Every time the old man lost, he will go and scold her for not moving as he wanted. However, every time he wins, he will dance in victory and show off for the whole month.

"What do you think they are planning to do?"

"I don't know," Beth shook her head, "but I won't let him ruin this day at all."

Adam laughed and guided her towards their group of friends.

However, before they could even reach them, a couple stopped them.

Gold bright eyes looked at shining emerald eyes. Her expression, however, was devoid of joy.]
