ROYAL BLOOD

Chapter 8: Chapter 8: Surprise Visit



SURPRISE VISIT

"My lady breakfast is ready, everyone has been summoned to the dining room." Tamina's personal maid Celin, informed while doing a courtesy.

Some other maids were attentending to her supple skin, while massaging her with very expensive oil, and bathing her with expensive cologne.

Her red straight hair was brushed gently and fell over her face, her dark siren eyes made her beauty out of this word. Even at that no one could surpass the queen of beauty Katie, but now she was dead.

Tamina finally picks a red coloured gown, with a V-neck it had a pretty lace and was very beautiful. It matched her hair, and gave her an aura of confidence.The gown hugged the upper part of her body, and flared from her waist down to her feet.

The maids couldn't help but gosh at her beautiful outfit. Her brows were thick and had a perfect lining, and her long lashes aligned perfectly.

Tamina wasn't called the queen of Seduction for nothing, when she walked, men praise the Lord for creating such a master piece in the form of a woman.

Tamina, made her way out of the room, making her way to the dining room, all of a sudden the three queens meet at the enormous hall leading to the commodious dining room.

Jazell's short, shoulder length blonde hair aligned with her small face, the diamond earrings she was wearing were dazzling. She was wearing a blue fishtail dress that exposed some of her curves, her cleavages were in full bloom.

Jia had grey coloured eyes, with black straight hair, she had a full chest, small lips and almond shaped eyes. She was very reticent, having a mysterious aura.

Rachel was already seated at the table, her brown curly hair was packed in a bun, with a few strands falling on her face

These ladies eyed themselves with a murderous glare, the person they were looking for was not here, she was at the dining table. They all made their way to the dining room, their royal outfit dragging behind them, they looked iconic and breathtaking. Their royal personal maid escorted them from behind, with their gaze fixed on the floor.

They dare not gossip at that moment. Gossiping was like a food to them, they would meet at the royal kitchen wide enough to contain hundreds of people, news and headlines fly in the kitchen and this was where royal personal maids got the gist they tell each of their mistresses.

They had their ear's on the walls and the eyes behind their backs, in search of juicy gossips.

Last night, Ragaleon had given Racheal a bracelet, right now at the table elegantly as always. But the daggers she was getting from all sides were tormenting.

All the queens took their seats on the chairs specially reserved for them, everyone was at the table when Ragaleon walked in. They all stood up, did a courtesy and took their seats when Ragaleon sat down.

Johanna wore a taunting smile as she used the fork she was holding to play with the food.

"If you are not hungry do not waste the food, we will offer it to the widows and orphans." Selena chipped and in, when she saw Johanna was yet to take a bite from her food.

Joanna glared at her before finally taking a mouthful of steaks.

"How was your night Rachael?

Jazell couldn't hide her conceit, she gazed at the bracelet Ragaleon had gifted Racheal and couldn't hide her conceit so she questioned casually. She was burning with jealousy when she saw how happy Racheal looked.

Ragaleon casted her a disdainful gaze, and she focused on her food.

Everyone in the household was aware of the bracelet Ragaleon gifted Racheal but they didn't know why.

Racheal was melting, her cheeks were now red and she quickly excused herself from the table.

Tamina snarled then continued eating her food. She was already losing her appetite but didn't want it to look so obvious that she was unhappy, so she forced herself to take some more morsels.

"Tamina, after lunch today see me at my chamber." Ragaleon said when he had finished eating.

He stood up and was about to take his leave when he paused….

"Mother do well to enlighten the household about the golden rules, I won't take it lightly next time, if any of them is broken." He said with his hands crossed behind his back.

Tamina thought she was just hearing things, but then Ragaleon had gazed at her when he told her to come to his chamber. Suddenly a sly smirk tugged at the corner of her lips, she raised her gaze and saw that Jazell had her eyes on her, Jia looked unbothered, Racheal only casted a short glare before concentrating on her meal.

Jazell was now chewing her food faster, her right hand gripped her spoon tightly, and her left hand drummed on the table. Under the table her legs were stomping the ground rapidly.

"First it was Racheal, now it's Tamina." She muttered under her breath, Jia who was seated next to her casted a glance.

"What are you looking at? Jazell snapped when she saw that Jia was gazing at her.

All heads turned towards her direction but she had already buried her face in her meal, her left hand had stopped drumming on the table, it balled into a fist.

Tamina was enjoying the look on Jazell's face, suddenly Jazell rises up to her feet after wiping her mouth…

"Jazell you haven't finished your food." Tamina said with a taunting voice., Jazell glared at her with conceit before walking away, her blue gown trailing behind her.

"Looks like someone is having a bad day." Leah hummed, just then her mother stepped on her foot from under the table and she wanted to scream because it hurt so bad, but she held her hand against her mouth and just let out a little shriek. Her feet were throbbing with raw pain as the impact from Johanna's heel was unbearable.

Leah gazed at her mother, before biting her lips bitterly.

"What is wrong with everyone today? Selena muttered under her breath while trying to finish her meal.

She felt that things had changed since her husband died, the household was turning to something else. No one would have dared to walk out of the table when Harris was still eating, or else they were vouching for a death sentence.

Being reminded of her late husband because of the current household melodrama, Selena's eyes softened with unshed tears, dropping the spoon she was using to drink her soup, she wiped her mouth with a fancy napkin and excused herself from the table.

"I heard Prince Vinson is coming to Decreash today, is that true? William questioned. This was his first time making any comments on the table, and since Ragaleon wasn't here to rebuke the distrupted serenity….

"Oh yes, I was also informed about his coming, what a noble man, his kind is very rare to come across." Johanna commented.

Immediately Leah heard that Vinson was coming to Decreash, she blushed hard, she was already dreaming of a life with him and now that she would have a chance to see him, she was excited.

At that same arena, seated at the far end of the table was Helen, Serena's only daughter. Her ears were picking up what was being discussed, as she ate her meal in a demure manner.

"Vinson is coming? She questioned herself while smiling slyly. It has been long since he came by, actually the only reason he did pay visits at intervals was to see Helen. But this time he didn't inform her, he wanted to surprise her, but her family always had their ear's on the ground, so now the surprise was ruined.

"Excuse me", Leah said, quickly wiping her mouth she immediately sent for her personal maid, while making it to her room. Vinson would be here any moment for now she had to look pretty to impress him. Helen gazed at her stepsister, her face reading suspicion.

William couldn't comprehend what was going on in the palace today, in just a split second the dining room was empty. He turned to his side and also discovered his mother had left unnoticed. He looked around, only Jia was left at the table.

"Is there something going on that I am not aware of?

"Queen Tamina, your parents are here to see you." Celin, Tamina's personal maid informed Tamina, who was sipping a glass of wine in her room terrace, while sitting on a cozy swing.

Tamina almost choked on the content she was drinking, she quickly dropped the glass of wine on a table, beside the swing on the terrace.

"My....my parents? Tamina questioned, looking amused. She immediately sprang to her feet, while the maid led the way. They soon got to the palace guest parlour, where prominent guests were received warmly.

The maids was indeed not mistaking, sitted majestically on the expensive, two-seat armchair were her parents.

The king and queen of Nehoviah.

Tamina beamed with a genuine smile and made to were her parents were.

"Mother....father! She called out to them and immediately they heard her call out to them, they turned to her direction while rising to their feet.

"Tamina!

They chorused with outstretched hands, and Tamina walked up to where they stood and hugged them.

They took their sit satisfied with how well their daughter was doing, the outfit she was wearing was melange with a with a shade of diamond, and her necklace was made from the best coral pearls, even her crown was screaming glory, they were glad that their daughter was the fifth queen of Decreash.

"I can see the king is treating you well." Titran, Tamina's father commended, Tamina smiled in return.

Amber's eyes scanned her beautiful daughter in a fleeting manner, her daughter had put on some weight in the right places, she was even more seductive than she was before.

By now Amber was expecting her to have been pregnant, so her eyes darted to her daughter's stomach but it was flat. Amber knitted her brows in disdain, this is not right, how come the king hasn't impregnated Tamina yet, with a lustful body like hers, she should have been heavy with his baby by now.

These were her thoughts as she watched both daughter and father discuss heartily while eating the snacks that had been prepared for them.

Amber knew she needed to do something about what seemed to be a current predicament. She badly wanted Tamina to be the mother of Ragaleon's's heir, with that she would have nothing to worry about, and her kingdom would also benefit from it.

She didn't want to discuss anything in the presence of Titran her husband, so she kept to herself and helped herself with some snacks. Some servants were finding it hard to carry the sumptuous gifts Tamina parents had come with, they had ten more royal carriages filled with gifts to escort them.

Just then Selena walked in with some guards escorting her.

"Titran Ashram, Amber Ashram, king and queen of Nehoviah you are welcome." Selena greeted warmly and Amber warmly.

"Thank you Selena, our heart full apologies for not being able to attend your husband's funeral, we were quiet busy." Titran quickly said and Selena faked a smile.

Amber tried not to show her contempt for Selena, she had always thought that Selena liked to Lord over others because she was the wife of a powerful king, but it was just mere jealousy playing out in her heart.

As the mistress and queen mother, it was Selena's duty to receive her guest warmly and make sure they were comfortable. After confirming the quality of attention the maid had given to Tara's parents, her work here was done so she simply made her way back to her room with her escorts. Amber snared behind her, and couldn't come to terms with her mood swing.

Almost immediately a guard came into the room to inform Titran that Ragaleon had sent for him.

With his absence Amber became relaxed, and immediately turned to look at Tamina.

"Why aren't you pregnant?
