The Shocking News
gYour lordship may I have a word with you?h said Aka requested to Sakamoto who was currently talking to one of his servant about the preparation for the wedding.
gSure. Please donft call me your lordship anymore, Ifm soon to be your husband, please cut the formality.h Sakamoto walked beside her as he held her hand. Aka felt warm inside her heart as soon as he held her. gNow, what is so important that you want to it talk to me.h
gYou see, my stepmother is not just a regular stepmother. Shefs somewhat evil.h
gAnd.h
Aka turned around and stood before him, she held his shoulder to make sure that he got the right message from her. gShe is dangerous. By all means she will prepare to make things difficult for us to be together.h Aka faced down feeling worried. She began to reveal the deepest secret hidden from her kingdom.
gWhat?!h Sakamoto was shocked after hearing the details of her history. gSo, youfre not a peasant? Youfre the eldest princess from Algoria?h
gYes, we are the eleven princesses. Queen Jessica Samson is our stepmother.h
gAnd yet, they treated you like servant?h
gYes.h She gazed to the other side trying to throw away her tears. gBut, please no matter what she says once we go there, donft say anything. We have to deal with it ourselves. Promise that.h She took both of his hands and held it. gI donft want any of my sisters and even you and your brothers got hurt with her idiotic behavior.h Aka used the word eidioticf for a reason since she knew that her stepmother was far from the clever category.
Sakamoto seemed amused with her chosen wordings but he decided to agree with her. gI promise. gHe lifted her hands and kissed them. gI will follow your lead.h

After serious case of sudden stomach pain, the Queen led her companies to the castle. The remaining pain was still lingered, and the trauma of having to let go everything in the forest would haunt them for the rest of their life. Maki apparently went to the wrong side of the bush where most poison ivy grew prosperously there and as a result, she needed an extra treatment to heal her pain. The detail of her condition was sealed perfectly by the Queen to avoid anymore humiliation to her, but she did not know there was another shocking revelation about to break the silent morning in the kingdom of Algoria.
The town square was surrounded by many crowds as they received an announcement placed on the announcement plank. It was said that the Kingdom of Cascadonia, where the hunky princes live had chosen the eleven sisters to be their bride. The people of Algoria greeted the news with cheers as they knew that the eleven sisters deserved happiness and being saved from the Queen. The news also gave the sign that Algoria would once again have their rightful ruler and not the Queen anymore. From the rules passed from many years, once the eldest child got married, the Queen or the King should relinquish its title to him/her. One thing for sure, a person who would not allow this to happen was the Queen.
gJESSSIICAA!!h Ayu was running to reach the Queenfs room. She widely opened the door and found the Queen who was still recuperating from her stomach pain lazing on the throw pillows on the bed. gYou got to read this!h Ayu threw a piece of paper in front of her. gWe are in big trouble.h
The Queen received the paper and read it carefully. She scratched her head again and again, trying to grasp the meaning of what inside it.
gWell?h Ayu was tapping her foot impatiently waiting for her reaction. Yet, no sign of reaction came out from Jessica. She was still struggling to read it. gHey can you read or not?h asked Ayu.
gHey..h she curtly replied. gHow dare you, Ifm just still having a tummy pain and cannot concentrate.h
Actually, it was not such big news that the Queen always had many excuses when it came to read. Rumor even said that she either could not read at all or suffering from incureable case of dyslexia. She was just too proud to admit it that was why it was kind of too late to cure her.
gAlright, just let me read it for you.h Said Ayu. gListen up!h
gOk.h
gThis is to announce that the Eleven Princes from Cascadonia Kingdom has decided to marry the Eleven Princesses from Algoria Kingdom. The wedding will be held the day after tomorrow after asking the Permission from the Queen of Algoria. And..h
gStop it!!!h Queen Jessica interrupted abruptly. gHow come they could be there? I thought we lock them up in the North Tower.h
gOh yeah, thatfs true, I forgot about that.h Ayu wondered. gBut how did they end up there?h
gThatfs a big question!h
gMOOOOTHEERR!!h A shrieking sound came to barge Queen Jessicafs room. It was Iida and another momusu, who had began to be Queenfs favorite lately, Kago Ai. gI canft believe it! Did you hear the announcement?!h she burst into tears as soon as she found her lap. gI want to rule Cascadonia, the heck with the princes because I just want their money and power and then we can merge Algoria and Cacadonia, and just kill the princes so we could be richer.h
gI know that dear, this is also a shocking news to me.h
gI thought they were locked up in the North Tower mother?h
hUnless, they have a special power..h
gHey, Jess, I thought you were after that thingy from your late husband? I bet you almost forgot about that.h Said Ayu.
gOh yeah, that was my intention right?h Queen Jessica suddenly remembered.
Just donft blame her for being stupid and unable to focus on something. Even her brain did not really function systematically, thus everything that came out from her mouth was basically did not get into the brain processing mechanism. Her witch, Ayu was slightly smart but then again because of her serious experiment on herself for each potion she made, her brain cell started to work slowly and the potion was gradually eating her brain out. Britney was in between them but she was too stupid to understand that those two had been making her into their kind, the Bimbo Airhead.
gNow, have you figured out the thingy yet?h asked Ayu to Queen Jessica whose eyes were still wondering elsewhere staring at the high ceiling decorated with gothic Versatcha Design. She was humming some random tune as if looking for inspiration inside her head.
gHey, did you notice therefs a crack up there?h Queen Jessica pointed to the ceiling where there was a picture of her surrounded with her mumosu. Everyone directly looked at the crack pointed out by the Queen.
gOh yes mother, itfs right on your smiling teeth. You look ewwwch Ai commented.
gGood God, shefs right Jessica.h Ayu added. gYou better call the restoration service to fix it.h
There you go, they forgot the first big mission again, finding out the secret object of her late husband that would bring her more mystical power and other power to rule the world and converted into the world full of bimbo airhead. They always had difficulty to focus on something thus no plan nor action ever been thought to be incorporated. Now, the Queen had made herself busy by trying to figure out the perfect schedule for the restoration as she was also planning to fully make a makeover on the painting too. But another airhead came along to remind her not about the secret object but about something else.
gJESS!!h Britney opened the door widely. She was about to tell her the announcement however, since she saw the same paper lay on the pillow she quickly changed her mind and asked for something else. gYoufve read it right? So are you going to give your blessing to release the eleven bitches?h
gOh yeah, I thought I was in the middle of thinking something just now, until I got distracted with the crack on that painting up there.h She pointed at the ceiling while Britney followed her direction to see it.
gEwww..you need to fix that. Your teeth look like Long John Silver.h She commented and shivered at the same time for the awful painting. The Queen stared at her with no amusement. Britney quickly changed the subject. gSo, is there any plan? Or do we have to make any plan for them?h
gYes Mother, donft let them go that easily. If Aka and her sisters can seized whatfs theirs wefre going to be in a very big trouble. gwarned Ai, who seemed a bit in touch with the world at the moment.
gHmm..we could always put them into some serious major competition right girls?h said the Queen deviously. gI donft recall that they have any regular combat training or exercise like us.h
gOh yeah, the combat training like the one we do everyday, you know Tae Blow, and the flexibility of Pillatethis, not to mention for the mind and body stability from the way of the Bogga.h Iida reminded. gThey obviously would just suck big time.h
gDonft forget the archery too or whatever wefre just better than them.h Ai added.
gOh, we could make up difficult competition and only us can do it, and they cannot.h Ayu laughed followed by the rest.
Their evil plan was surely would not make the live of the eleven princesses even easier. Although that the eleven princesses were also trained in combat fighting, but you just never knew what other evil but stupid plan they might come up with.
Nakai overheard their evil plan through the corridor because they were talking in very audible voice, so obviously everyone who just passed by could overhear their strikingly loud conversation. Realizing that the eleven princesses would be in danger, he tiptoed his way out from that corridor and heading back to his room to fetch his cloak and to go and see Shingo who was in the cottage.
