Chapter 145 - Queen with Heart of The Mother!

'Why would I even care about Christopher dying? He injured me! I should be happy that he is being killed. I am not that good hearted person anyway!'.

Maya gets uncomfortable after hearing Sarah. Even though she doesn't care about Christopher dying, she never wanted anyone to die except those who know about her powers! Still she never attacked anyone when she was 'normal' or not under her power's control. She remembers how viciously Christopher attacked her that day and sighs trying to take this as normal and act as unaffected. After all he was not a good person.

And deep inside her heart she was confident that they wouldn't be executed. Even if it happens, that won't affect her much. Perhaps she never saw anyone being executed yet and so, she felt this surreal.

'I  strongly believe that this is either a plan from The Crown Prince to suppress and scare the Rebels or his conspiracy to send me away or may both!'.

"Ma'am!".

Both Maya and Sarah turns shocked.

Celina comes running with a thick outer robe made of thick fur. She might have guessed that Maya would feel cold in this weather.

Sarah gasps worriedly "Celina?".

Maya holds Sarah's hand to warn her to not to expose the news to Celina. Seeing Celina's face she already guessed that Celina is still unaware of the execution of her cousin brother.

Celina smiles handing the ankle length robe made of fur to cover Maya's entire body and says looking around "It's so gloomy outside today. Ma'am might catch cold. Let me help you wear this".

Maya felt guilty seeing her innocent face and gets even more sad seeing her helping her to wear the robe. She mumbles looking at the sky "Everything is cold here. Especially someone's heart..".

She could only mumble the last part and sighs.

Celina couldn't hear Maya clearly and asks "Ma'am? Did you say something?".

Maya shakes her head and asks looking both of Sarah and Celina "Will you two do something for me?".

Celina was the one who replied cheerfully "Anything!".

Sarah just noded as reply. She suppresses her cry seeing Celina's happiness.

Maya orders looking at Sarah "Ask Robin to meet me at once!".

Sarah nods "Yes!" and leaves hurriedly to find Robin.

Maya makes sure Sarah left the place and speaks "Now, Celina".

Celina looks at Maya eagerly "Ma'am?".

Maya explains her seriously "Celina, listen. Crown Prince issued an eddict to excute three people this morning in *forgets where exactly* ...in some place.."

She blinks for a moment 'Did Sarah say any particular street?'.

Eros states helping Maya "It will happen in the Main street of The Imperial City, Your Majesty".

Maya nods acknowledging Eros "Yes, In the City..Christopher and The Court official with a soldier-".

Celina frowns seeing Maya struggling with herself weirdly and gasps closing her mouth in shock as soon as she heard her words "What?!".

Maya nods and before she could speak Celina speaks worriedly "My brother works for Christopher! Ma'am.. Do you know who the soldier is?!".

Maya manages to lie "Sarah, said a name but I couldn't remember -".

Celina asks anxiously "Is it Luke?!".

Maya reluctantly shakes her head "No. That's not what I heard".

She purses her lips sadly 'Blood is really thicker than water...'.

Celina lets out a relaxed breath "Jesus! I was scared for Luke!".

Maya speaks "Celina, I want you to write a letter".

Celina asks nodding "To The Emperor?". 

Seems she is accustomed with Maya's moves now. She knows that Maya would step in!

Maya too nods "Yes. I want you to mention that I don't really want to punish them for disrespecting me or I would have punished them by now already. And also add something! Not to punish them now as there will be some Wish Ride Contest taking place tomorrow. People will be gathering and this is really not right time to execute the people. This may be decided after the contest and request kindly to just postpone this for now. Don't mention to cancel it. It may displease him for interfering in his decisions. Just request him politely".

Celina is marvelling Maya's way of persuading 'She knows how to please Our Emperor by not interfering in his decisions!'.

Maya asks seeing Celina's nervous face "Can you do this?".

Celina nods stuttering "It's this...that...I am going to write this alone..".

Maya holds Celina's hand and assures "I trust you, Celina. Make sure you get an Edict as early as possible there. I will leave the General..Robin to bring it to me. Assume your brother is going to be punished there.So, The sooner ...the better..".

Celina stares back at Maya with a bright smile and nods "Right away!".

She leaves the place at once without any delay. 

Celina fiddles her fingers nervously "I yet have to write a formal letter which usually take a lot of time to think of proper words. We usually take three or more rough copies to perfect the final one. But now we have no time! I have to hurry!".

Seeing Sarah arriving hurriedly with Robin, Maya looks at Eros "Do you know where it will happen? The Execution?".

Eros neighs "Yes, Your Majesty".

Maya orders without any delay "Sarah, arrange some carriage for us to leave at once. I will meet you at the Entrance of the Palace!".

Sarah again leaves after nodding.

Now, Robin stands alone with Maya and bows "Your Highness!".

Maya explains hurriedly "Robin, I want you to be with Celina and collect An Edict from her to the place where the execution is about to take place. You have to rush as early as possible because we have to stop this execution from happening".

Robin nods even though he was taken aback and couldn't help thinking 'She is so kind! After we disrespected and hurt her badly, she is still saving us! Our Queen really has heart of The Mother!'.

Robin bows "I will be there very soon after I get the Edict,  Ma'am. I will chose my best horse to reach there fast".
