Chapter 53: HALLUCINATIONS OR TRUTH

I am so sorry for the delay. I had surgery, and I am currently recovering. Thank you for being patient with me. I love you.

JASMINE’S POV

The woman had a crown on her head and was probably around fifty.

She had brown hair and beautiful blue eyes, and from her facial features, you could tell she was as lovely as she had been in her youth.

She had about ten men in armor standing around her, and then a girl was beside her.

The girl had fire-red hair, just like mine.

The men with armor pointed their spears at me.

"Kneel in front of the Queen!" Came with the order.

I gasped, and it dawned on me.

This was the queen.

I quickly went down on my knees.

"Please forgive me, your majesty," I begged her.

But the woman didn’t even notice what was happening around her.

She was fixated on me, and her face was pale and shocked.

Like she had seen a ghost.

"Scarlet?" The Queen said.

Scarlet? Who was Scarlet? I was confused.

"How dare you hit the Queen?!" The girl with red hair who was probably around the same age as I demanded.

I looked at her. "Please forgive me. I had no idea. I didn’t mean it."

"You will pay with your life, you slave!" She hissed.

I felt my heart stop.

Then, it seemed that they were going to attack me.

But the Queen just walked away from them and towards me, completely oblivious to what was happening around us.

"Grandma." The girl said,

But the queen wasn’t looking at her.

She came right to me, cupping my cheeks and lifting me to see her.

"Scarlet, is this you?" She asked, and the tears were brimming in her eyes.

I was lost for words.

Did the Queen think I was someone she knew?

She had mistaken me for someone else.

Then, at that moment, another woman came in.

She had black hair, just like the Queen, and I saw that all three resembled her.

The woman was probably in her early thirties.

"Mother, what’s going on?" The woman asked as she turned to see me, and she froze, too.

Why were they all pointing at me like that?

"Coral?" The queen said her voice was breaking. "Doesn’t she look like your sister?"

I gasped!

The woman named Coral’s face tightened. "No, mother. You’re mistaken again. Scarlet was dead a long time ago."

Coral turned to me. "I suggest you leave this place immediately if you want to leave."

I bowed down, hurried up to my feet, and ran out.
