BIANCA'S Point of View
I tried to sleep, but it didn't yield any positive result. I instructed all the guards and maidens to give me some time to myself, but all the same, it still didn't change the fact that my total body was lost in thoughts.
What was I thinking ?
It is all about Bruno, the human I came in contact with today. I was trying to unravel some mystery about him because he was completely rare.
The puzzle was hard to decipher, my thoughts were really scattered all over my chamber so that I started hearing voices speak to me.
Hold on a second, Bruno actually saved my life. I would probably have been caught because I wasn't with my scepter.
Hmm… “I think I really owe him some sort of appreciation”.
I looked into his eyes and I saw something unique about him, but could everything that played out with him be real ?
I asked myself curiously.
Or is he trying to get me or rather still play with my emotions.
My face at that moment wasn't giving at all cos I was having a double mind which wasn't yielding any results.
FELICIA'S POV.
I swam to the other guests' part of the Serenes and surmounted my mystic mirror.
" Mystic mirror of Wisdom, we're almost close, so close to achieving our mission here", I spewed, looking so excited.
I continued my well rehearsed little victory speech facing the Mystic mirror of Wisdom.
" I can't believe I just fooled the so-called queen of the Serenes" Bianca", she's such a coward to have believed the little show I put out there the other day. I didn't just manipulate her but the entire Serenes"....
"Hah!,Ha!,Ha!,Ha!,Hah!…
I laughed so hard wearing that Sinister look, dressed in my bloody red mermaid tail, staring right into the Mystic mirror.
" She won't know what will hit her soon, she must pay for everything. I mean everything, I will not back out, she took all that belongs to me, the source of joy, my strength, she must PAY !!!"
I yelled, vehemently struck my tail at a sea turtle that did absolutely nothing to me just to show the level of my rage.
Still roared up then the Mystic mirror of Wisdom decided to say something.
" Felicia !!. You're free to be angry, but she isn't the only one you should be targeting. There's definitely a bigger picture that you also need to channel the same energy to ".
My Mystic mirror said in a very calm and soft tone.
" Who is this bigger picture? Have we met before or something ? How do I get this person? "
I was already furious again, my blood was boiling, my heart was beating, my tail vehemently shaking; just when I thought I was now almost ready to execute my plans and bring down my worst nightmare, then it turned out there was even more to it.
Hmm, at this point I was completely worn out, my morale went from 100 to 0, and I was as feeble as anything you can think of.
My Mystic mirror could tell how worried I looked, so it decided to help me proffer a solution.
" Felicia!!! Here is the catch: you have to pretend and get closer to the Queen. I mean "Bianca". She's often very weak at times and highly sentimental, and you're very good at manipulating people. Now this is the right time to put that to work".
"Play around with her emotions, find out her biggest fear, what troubles her, find out her weaknesses, be by her side at all times, make her trust you, don't allow her to suspect a thing and in a short while you will have her in your palms".
The Mystic mirror of Wisdom spilled, laughing sinisterly.
A breeze of relief blew on my spot, my face was scattered with a smile, I was now energetic again and this time, I was almost completely blown away with the level of Wisdom the Mystic mirror displayed.
" Gracias my Mystic mirror, I love you …"
I applauded as I quickly put the mirror to sleep and hid it in a safe place before anyone could see me or anything.
" Now Felicia, listen, you have to put off those old horrible looks of yours and change to something nice. I am now a good person with no negative vibes."
I soliloquized these few words to myself as I took a deep breath and swam straight to the Queen's chamber.
From afar, I stood, casting a good but very deceitful eye on her and I could feel how wasted she was in thoughts, and so I took it as an opportunity to pull the first shot.
Wearing a smiley face, I approached her.
"Good day my Queen, Trust your day was good? "I waited but there seemed to be no response coming from her. I didn't back down. I tried again but this time around I inquired about her favorite meal, the maidens prepared it and gave it to me to serve her.
I tapped her, she immediately jerked off a little. Soft were my hands at her back all in a mission to calm her nerves down.
"My Queen, is everything okay?,
What's the problem?
I could be of help, trust me. You helped me, it is time to repay the favor".
I said, trying to convince her, giving that sweet vibe of friendship.
Weak and pale was her face at that point in time, her heart troubled, her mouth shut for words. She then raised her head and said to be.
"All will be fine, nothing serious. You don't have to panic about me, I will sort it out."
It was clear she was trying to talk me out of it, but I insisted.
"My Queen, one good turn deserves another. You helped me. I need to reciprocate that same energy. You're deeply troubled, and I can see it through your eyes. Yes I can, it's glaring. Always remember that a problem shared is a problem solved".
I managed to make her smile and, oh my gosh, I must confess it was really contagious.
She held me closely and assured me that everything was okay and that she was just thinking about the serenes and how she could make it a better place to be for her subjects.
Even though I let it slide, I could feel that she was definitely hiding something from me and was only trying to talk me out of the whole situation.
But Nevertheless, I was happy because I was the only one bold enough to approach her and make her smile when she was almost dying of thoughts and losing her sanity.
I smiled softly and said to myself,
“It's only a matter of time, she will fall into my trap, then I will strike her. But for the meantime, let me just stay friendly and allow her to trust and confide in me”.
Eating my seafood, I muttered these words and rounded it off with a sinister laughter.
