The Lost Princess Of The Lycans Chapter 40: Secrets
Sarahs POV
I was especially interested in the little girl. I could only admire her mother for wanting to work for Ray as a way to provide for her daughter. I'm going to make it a point to speak with her more in depth about her position. Also, for Ray to allow her to do that is admirable. But I want more for them. I am the soon to be queen and when I am, I'm going to give her a house of her own. We got into the van.
" Is something on your mind, princess?" Ray asked.
" Yes, something is," I responded.
" I understand that I'm supposed to shop for myself today as well as the ceremony. But I would really like to get Stacey a few things," I stated.
" Oh you do." he replied.
"Yes I do." i responded.
" I would also like to build Stacey and Rebecca a house for them," I stated.
" Why?" he asked
" Why not?" I asked.
That was a strange question to ask me. I thought the answer would be obvious. They are family and not only that, but they are family. Who wouldn't want to take care of their family? I was confused. There has to be more to this story than I'm being told. I would get the rest of the story from Ray or Brittany.
I told Ray I needed to go to the bathroom and, like I was hoping, he sent Brittany with me.
" Why does Ray not want to help Stacey and her daughter?" I asked.
" Because our brother was killed because he was conspiring with rogues," she stated.
" He wanted to take over the kingdom," she stated.
" So he was a traitor," I asked.
" Yes." She responded.
That would explain why he didn't want to put any effort into helping her more. But why would he want to overthrow Ray? All this was confusing. I will have to ask Ray. I'm going to find out more. I will be queen soon, and I don't want to be blindsided. I need all the information.
We left the bathroom and Brittany drags me over to the dress store. I picked out a blue dress, a cream-colored dress and an emerald green dress. There is nothing fancy about them. They are all very pretty. I have simple taste. I first tried on the blue dress. It has a v-neck cut and the sleeves only went a little way past my shoulders. It fit beautifully.
I then tried on the emerald green dress. The neck was cut in a half circle. It covered my boobs and the sleeves came halfway to my biceps. The length came to my knees. The cream-colored dress was for the mating ceremony. It was lacy and it outlined my breast. It had an open back. I tried all the dresses on and modeled them for Ray. He was really impressed with them all.
We purchased all the dresses and then went to one of the top jean stores. I have never worn jeans before. So I was unsure of what to look for. I found a few pairs that had some designs on the pockets. Brittany told me that for a comfortable fit, it was that they needed to rest on my hips. That also boot cut jeans we be more for fighting. I bought like five pairs. I bought some shirts that were what you call baby-doll tees.
I then went and bought a swimsuit. I knew I needed one for swimming in the pool. The whole time I was walking, and my legs were starting to hurt. I was also getting hungry. We stopped at the food court and got some chinese food. It was delicious. I have never had chinese food. I ate everything and wanted more. My stomach was indeed getting bigger,
We then stopped at the toy store and bought a few toys for Rebecca. I still want to talk to Ray about the little girl and her mother. To me, it didn't matter that her husband had been a traitor. They deserved every comfort that I was getting. The little girl was so adorable and not very old. I knew people would say a father like daughter, but that is not always true. I needed to know exactly what happened.
We were headed to the car when I asked Brittany to wait for us. I was going to get to the bottom of this.
" Babe, can I talk to you?" I asked Ray.
" Yes," he replied.
" What exactly happened to Rebecca's dad?" I asked.
" I had him put to death," he stated.
" What do you mean he was put to death?" I asked.
" Sarah, we can talk about this back at the palace," he stated.
What was the big secret, I wondered? I was getting really upset because every time I asked I was getting coded messages. Did it have something to do with my parents' death? I was really distraught by this. For the time being, I will keep it together. I did not like the fact that he was attempting to keep things from me.
We got to the van and climbed in. I was happy to be heading home. Nothing happened today. Which I was grateful for. We arrived at the palace and had one of the boys take the bags up to my room. Stacey was there waiting for me. If I couldn't get my answers from Ray, then I would get them from her. Maybe she would be forth coming.
" Stacey, can I speak with you?" I asked her.
" Yes your majesty," she responded.
" Can you tell me about your husband?" I asked.
" Yes I will." she responded.
She proceeded to tell me that he tried to overthrow Ray from the throne because he wanted it for himself. That she did not support him in this decision. That typically that traitors whole family would be put death. Meaning his wife and children. But Stacey was the one who informed Ray of the treason. She was spared right along with her child.
My guess is that he regretted following the laws that had been set down. I was also guessing that he allowed her to work for him out of guilt.
