Rachel sat outside enjoying the breeze in the beautiful garden, the triplets are with their grandparents who are strolling around the garden. Her Sister-in-Law is right across from her, her face in a considerable glow compared to when her husband left and then died.
"Royal Aunt" Lynette walked towards her with an attentive guard by her side "Mother" the little girl greeted respectfully. The little girl ad perfect manners unlike a child her age only six but bares a grown-up expression.
Her sister-in-law stood up immediately and pulled her daughter towards the table and had her sit down before pouring tea.
"Where you disappointed?" Rachel said as she leaned back in her chair.
"The women didn't even twitch at my family name." The little girl's eyes where slightly red and filled with disappointment while her mother also looked like she was to cry.
"Your father's body was recently recovered, he'll be transported here and buried with our parents in our family cemetery" Rachel spoke with a softness that was meant to comfort "Lynette, I have heard your territory has recently uncovered a hot spring. Perhaps its you should go rest there and enjoy your time." She finished, Lynette finished her calming tea and then with her mother left holding each other.
Wendy stared at the cold floors on the jail cell, wondering how she got into this situation in the first place. She met the young King and gave him a few lines of flattery and then he tossed her in this dungeon.
Other men had always fallen for this trick and yet he got angry and had thrown her in the dungeon. They where having such a good conversation and yet it turned so sour.
"She's down here" asked a female voice that was very sweat.
"Yes, your Highness" said the guard.
Wendy looked up to the beautiful women that was led by the guards. She remembered this woman, and without even thinking about started to blame her for everything bad that happened to her so far for no good reason.
"Stay outside" Rachel waved the guard off and he dutifully went outside singing with a bonus with his pocket. Your blaming me, aren't you?" Rachel questioned as she turned her head to look at the women who pulled on an innocent face, but her eyes betrayed her.
"You highness, why would-"
"That part of you didn't change, you had always believed yourself to be entitled due to your upbringing, and even after your family had fallen and became broke. You still expected the world to revolve around you."
Wendy went pale and was frightened as she started searching her own memories to recall if she meat this woman before.
"Even if you look you won't find figure it out." Rachel opened the cage door and closed it trapping the two in the cell. "And honestly I don't feel like telling you who I am." She walked closer with a peaceful gaze.
Wendy backed away in fear, the gaze felt somewhat familiar but could not recall where. She was so scared the women did not look menacing at, but she could tell she was going to do something. Suddenly, she could not move, she looked down and saw what looked like shadows holding her down. But before she could scream her mouth was covered by the shadows.
She had never has been as scared she has been now, not even when Kevin chased her around.
Rachell put her hands together and did not move any further as she watched her shadow strangle the women before. She watched the struggle, the fear, the regret, the anger, all sorts of emotions in Wendy's as she fought for her life.
Snap
The shadow snapped her neck, Wendy no longer struggles she had no longer moved as she laid dead on the cold floor. Rachel walked out of the cell and locked it, she felt nothing, that is what hurt the most. It was the same with Alicia's father, nothing.
And feeling nothing made her think she was no longer human.
Afterwards the body was cleaned up nicely, the Holy Maiden was no more. The other countries continued to fight as believing that she was still alive.
Alexander wanted to ask about what had happened, but, stopped when he never got an answer. As his wife was normal and they continued their days in peace.
With years passing the children growing up and the Country becoming more modernized and advanced. Rachel daughter Qu married first and it was for love to a commoner turned merchant they had only one son. Sara was next and he married a lovely noble lady and had five children.
Rem married before his to a former Princess of one of the countries that fell to the war on the outside. They had a pair of twins.
Alexander had retried and handed the throne at the age of forty a year a little after his father and mother died due to natural causes. He and Rachel had moved to a vocational home just outside of the capital.
Both lived in relaxation as the Midden continued to expand and prosper. Alexander passed at the age of eighty-one and Rachel at the Age of ninety-nine.
