The air in the capital was thick with whispers, a volatile mix of admiration and dark speculation. Outside the grand palace gates, visiting Dukes and Duchesses gossiped behind silk fans, questioning the bizarre spectacle. "Becoming a Queen, is it not fascinating?" one murmured. "But I heard the King’s men slaughtered her entire family, didn't they?" Another whispered, "Then why marry him? She must have been forced." Yet, a third retorted, "For two years they have been wed. Look at them. It does not seem forced.

"[Inside: The Queen’s Chambers]

"What an auspicious day, Your Grace! The Princess finally becomes our Queen," a maid exclaimed, bustling around the room. The entire palace was in a frenzy of preparation. Maids worked in harmony, hanging crimson silk banners, polishing massive crystal chandeliers until they reflected the sunlight, and decorating the banquet hall for the coronation. "Ma’am, this will be perfect," murmured Ms. Rey's, arranging a priceless emerald necklace. Joanna, the future Queen, nodded slowly, her reflection in the mirror appearing stunning, yet distant. "What’s perfect is that you are even more breathtaking than yesterday, Ma’am," praised Ms. Queen, fixing the heavy velvet train of the gown. "Thank you, Ms. Queen," Joanna replied with a small, brittle smile. However, her eyes remained tense, reflecting a deep-seated anxiety that she tried to hide. "Ma’am, are you okay?" Queen asked gently. "I am fine," Joanna lied, taking a deep breath and forcing her shoulders to relax.[Inside: The King’s Chambers]On the other side of the palace, King Alexander stood while his valet, Mr. Ralph, adjusted his ceremonial sash.  "Sir, isn't it a glorious day? Your lady takes the throne, and you have amassed jewels from dozens of states as gifts. I am truly delighted, sir," Ralph said, beaming. "I understand your sentiment, Mr. Ralph," Alexander replied, his voice was low and firm. "She is indeed a charming woman, both in appearance and in sincerity. It is great. I look forward to seeing her take the throne. "As Ralph bowed and turned to leave, Alexander’s trusted confidant, Harris, stepped out of the shadows. "Can you give us a moment, Mr. Ralph?" Alexander commanded. Ralph quickly left the room. "What do you mean, Harris?" Alexander turned to his friend, his jaw tightening. "Do you still believe your wife, Our Queen, wants revenge against you ?" "It has been two years, Harrison," Alexander continued, pacing. "It is not happening. Besides, she still doesn't know who killed her family. Just ignore the rumors. "Harris looked at the King with somber eyes. "What you fail to understand is that blood is thicker than water. Even if we don't know that she knows, she might still seek revenge." "Do not jinx me, Harris," Alexander growled. "My beloved will not do that. Even if you say it is a risk, I will watch for it, but she has been with me through every stage. She even stayed after her miscarriage, when I lost my eternal treasure. She still loves me, and she stayed. "Harris listened, maintaining a stoic expression, but as Alexander turned away, Harris thought to himself: She still chose you, Alexander. That is exactly what absurdly disturbs me.

The throne room was a dizzying kaleidoscope of color, illuminated by magical lamps that hung like captive stars for the coronation jubilee. The air was thick with the scent of lilies and the hushed whispers of high priests, saintly advisors, and dignitaries who sat in rigid, ornate chairs, witnessing the ascension. On the dais, King Alexander sat, his figure imposing upon the gilded throne. Approaching him was Joanna, the Queen-designate, her heavy ceremonial robes flowing behind her like a river of silk. As she walked, a collective breath was held; she was a vision of poised power. Following the sacred sword and crown ceremony, Joanna ascended the final steps to sit beside him. It is delightful to meet you, my Majesty," Harrison murmured from the side, bowing low, his eyes calculating Alexander, sitting too upright, watching her with a mixture of possessive jealousy and pride.

"Well, Harrison," Alexander interrupted, his voice booming slightly too loud in the quiet, "she is Queen now. Ascending the throne. Whatever she orders... will be law to me."Joanna turned slowly, her gaze freezing, stripped of the warmth she had shown earlier. "Is it?"Alexander frowned, a momentary flicker of confusion breaking his composure. "Yes, my lady."The High Priest stepped forward, closing the ritual book. "Your Majesty," he gestured to the court, "your first verdict to bless this new era."Joanna stood, not with the grace of a timid queen, but with the deliberate movement of a predator. She took a deep breath, surveying the stunned crowd, and spoke, her voice ringing clear and cold."I order that every citizen lives in peace and harmony, and that they all leave this palace immediately."A stunned silence fell, followed by a ripple of frantic gossip."What are you saying, my lady?" Alexander said, his voice dropping to a panicked, tight-lipped whisper. "Think, Joanna. This is madness."She ignored him, turning to the line of royal guards. "I order all the guards to listen to me right now... and arrest the King!"The air seemed to shatter. Harrison was already moving, his hand on his hilt, the guards paralyzed between two commands.Before the guards could react, Joanna moved with a sudden, desperate ferocity. She lunged forward, her blade finding its mark even as Alexander drew his own steel in a frantic parry. The clash of metal echoed through the hall as they struck one another, both staggering back as the weight of their mutual wounds took hold. They stood locked in a grim standoff, the gold of the throne now marred by the reality of their struggle.Panic swept through the room like a physical wave. The Duke and Duchess recoiled in terror, and the once-orderly rows of guests dissolved into a frantic scramble for the exits.Alexander straightened his posture, his face pale as he clutched his side. The jealousy that had clouded his eyes was replaced by a cold, sharp clarity. "What is the meaning of this? I see now that Harrison’s suspicions were justified. What is it you hope to gain?""You destroyed my family, Alexander!" Joanna cried out, her voice raw with years of suppressed grief and rage. "Did you truly believe the crown would make me forget?""And what will this vengeance buy you, Joanna?" he demanded, his voice echoing against the high vaulted ceiling.She reached for a concealed dagger, her movements fueled by adrenaline, but Alexander was swift. He intercepted her, his hand clamping around her wrist with a punishing force, turning the weapon away."Enough, Joanna." Alexander looked toward Harrison, signaling the commander to take control of the situation. "Harrison, clear the hall! Get everyone out!"As the guards forced the last of the dignitaries through the heavy oak doors, Alexander forced her down, his shadow looming over her as she knelt on the cold stone floor."You," he whispered, his voice trembling with a mixture of pain and fury, "have made a huge mistake."

Do you think I will give you the offer to live

"Ralph said"

Tsk

So many years! So many years I was waiting for this moment and it will ruin it by your statement

"She tilt her head"

You know that day or you forget that day when you killed my whole family No mercy nothing.(Everyone stunned Harrison alerting all the soldiers)

"She laughed hysterically"

I'm so dumb so blind in love that I forget you can be cruel in the war to acquire the place, how can you not kill my parents to acquire my palace.

Ralph so shocked, flabbergasted

You know that I kill your parents, Why don't you say me for so many years.

She cut the words and speak

Why would I, to kill you "Lord Alexander Ralph", I'm waiting for this crown moment to kill you, you cold hearted Rascal.

She shouted to him

Calm down my queen calm down my queen my beloved There is a reason (He grabs her by hand)

She scoffed it

Who's your queen, I'm not your queen not your beloved I never fall in love with you

She put the sword in his chest

"Ralph was stunned" "Harrison was ready to fight commanding the soldiers but ralph stopped him".

You never love me, You never see me as yours, Joanna my lady

(The blood is coming out from his mouth).

She laughed with tears

Just Die Ralph, You know how my father was begging for his life to not kill him.

She pulled out the sword from his chest

(He pulls out the chopper, puts it on her neck)

You know your dad was not that great, he was a murder.

She was stunned by the hand grip in sword loss-off but she tightened it for a minute.

(But he swiftly takes it from here)

Give it back to me "Alexander" you rascal

(She grabs his chopper knife but it is recklessly that it cut her hand swiftly)

But she doesn't have fear in her eyes or is afraid.

(They both have distance between each other)

On one side Ralph was wounded and on the other side Joanna had a wounded palm.

The twitching in both side eyes one is for protecting her and the other person is on the verge of revenge.

She grabs his collar and reaches to punch him, but swiftly he dozes off.

"You now became a coward how much you lost pride for this that you became ashamed of this country." (She provoked the king)

"oh sorry you're king that you can't take a single punch from your karma"

(He pulled her neck to see him in eyes)(In a verge of tear)

"Listen to my dear, queen, Joanna (Hesitant)You don't Know the whole thing your dad is not a great person, He died which is a great reason."

She shouted

So you will kill my whole family. Who gives you rights to kill my family my kingdom and take yours and it will be good that you will not kill them but kill me.

He was silent at a moment which is a good amount for her  She took the sword and slashed her neck in a blink of an eyes.

She's in her knees

(He was shocked and sit in knees )

What, Why, Joanna, Call the physician immediately Harrison

All this time Harrison and the whole group see this scenario and wait for king permission to this self-destructing massacre moment.

Joanna wait a minute see me in eyes you can't leave me Joanna  Stay with me!!!

He was crying on her side and put her body in his chest.
