We came down from the car. “Follow me” Melinda nodded and led me to the door. The door slowly opened before we knock it.

“Lady waiting for you” she said. “I’m Mira.”

We went to the hall.

“Only Vivian” Mira said. “You have to wait here” she turned to me. “Please follow me”

I took a deep breath before follow her to the Great Hall.

“Lady” Mira bowed. “Vivian arrived”

Queen Jennifer sits on a red velvet sofa.

“You are Vivian Sazha Dumont?”

“Yes lady”

“I understand that Queen invited you to meet”

“Yes lady”

“The change will very quickly. I want you strong enough to survive. Vivian. I may not want the power of the court in my hand. But I will not allow the power to Queen Naomi”

She reached out a ruby long necklace with crystals from a red velvet box.

“I prepared it for you. It will give the strength to you”

This is not the best time to tell her… that I don’t want to be a queen.

“But you have to prove that you deserve it”

“Yes lady”

Simon’s upset and turned attention to me. I sitting on the sofa and try to calm. “I hate this” I said. “I don’t think you can keep feeling so good like this”

“We shouldn’t come here” he sighed.

“Calm down big bro” I whispered.

Simon sits next to me. His phone rang. “Wilson called in” the stress has faded away.

“Alicia is not home” Wilson said.

“Really?”

“Why? What happened?” Simon said impatiently.

“Alicia doesn’t answer the phone. But I think she survived. Where is Vivian?”

“We were invited to meet the queen”

“What? Why?”

“Nicole don’t tell me or she may not know it. If she knew she would tell us something”

He made a tense face and then hang up. I know who set the bounty money and chase our family“

“Who?”

“Queen Naomi”
