A FEW HOURS BEFORE THE BELLS WERE RUNG
After Jasmine had hurried out of the Queen’s chamber, she went on her way.
She felt so angry with the King for being unfaithful to the Queen.
She wished there was something she could do!
As she hurried past the hallway, she saw Princess Cherry approaching.
Jasmine turned the other side and curtseyed for the would-have-been Queen.
That was what Princess Cherry, the Queen, would have been.
Jasmine waited for her to pass by, but the click of the princess’s heels stopped in front of her.
Jasmine took in deep breaths, trying to control herself.
Princess Cherry used her finger to lift Jasmine’s chin and stare at her.
"Look at me." Princess Cherry said, and Jasmine did as she was told.
It was like Princess Cherry was looking through her, seeing right inside her soul.
Princess Cherry wished she had known Scarlet had survived and even had a child.
It baffled her to know that Scarlet had ended up surviving long enough to even conceive before her sister.
She would have used her if Princess Cherry had known that her niece was alive.
Because Corral was nothing like Scarlet. Corral had been much more substantial.
Cherry had initially tried to manipulate the little girl, but that girl had been fierce and good. There was no spark of evil inside her.
She had no choice but to turn on the neglected sister, who had every shade of evil growing from within her, and that was how she had easily turned her to her side.
It had been straightforward.
But just by touching her skin, Cherry could feel Jasmine’s power.
She was more powerful than her mother.
Marie had been right; this power was more potent than any of them had seen.
"I know you saw us." Princess Cherry said. "You saw the King fucking me."
Jasmine’s eyes were downcast, refusing to make contact with Cherry.
"I do not know what you speak of your majesty. I saw nothing." Jasmine said.
The King had told her that she had seen nothing when she had first seen them kissing, and so even though Jasmine had seen them having sex, she had come to see it as she had not seen them doing anything.
"I know it was you who was peeking." Princess Cherry said. "You wanted to be fucked, didn’t you? Watching the King fuck me gave you desires you won’t understand?"
Jasmine had no idea when she pushed her face away from the princess’s grasp.
Then, she quickly apologized. "Forgive me, Your Majesty. But I truly do not understand what you are saying. Neither did I see anything."
Princess Cherry rolled her fingers together.
She had finally understood Jasmine, or so she believed she did.
Jasmine was very calm and subdued. She has been raised as meek, yet in the girl, she saw the streak of Royal blood in her.
