Chapter 5 - CHAPTER 5: CRACKING UP THE NUTCRACKER

So finally I will have people bowing at my feets. " Princess Elaine thought about the idea she was being given by the servants.

"But come to think of it , who is that servant and since she got the powers to rule this kingdom why didn't she go for it. "

Princess Elaine thought to herself, still trying to be convinced that the maid was sure of what she had just said.

When Princess Elaine was done bathing she put on her nightgown and went to bed still in thought of those words that the strange maid had told her.

Before she could know what was happening, sleep coulded her eyes and she fell asleep. 

...

'' You have to meet at the cave of the dead..'' The maid's voice echoed in her sleep.

Those statements echoed in Princess Elaine's ears before she woke up from her bed breathing so fast and she remembered the appointment she had with that servant.

Princess Elaine quickly took her bath and dressed up in a black flowing gown that had a cape. She then quietly headed outside without the knowledge of the Palace guards.

Princess Elaine wanted to take her horse but at second thought did not because of the awareness the horse would make that early morning.

The female servant who bumped into Princess Elaine was there already with two young men and one female who are sorcerers waiting there outsiders of the cave of the dead for the arrival of Princess Elaine but still could not get the sights of her.

" Are you sure that your plan worked, did you really convince the Princess about coming here?" One of the young men standing said to the servant who bumped into the Princess.

" Shut up and stop being negative about things, she needs power and she is selfish to rule so she would do anything to get that power" The servant who bumped into the Princess said with so much confidence.

" What if the Princess has reported you and you are needed in the Palace, no sorcerer's in his or her right sense's will come into the cave of the dead". Another female also waiting for Princess Elaine said letting the maid know.

" Princess Elaine isn't that smart to report me to the Queen, all she cares about is her Prince charming and being powerful ".

Still that servant who bumped into the Princess had said.

Finally they got a sight of a lady coming towards the cave with so much walking speed and she was looking around for any sight to be followed. 

When Princess Elaine got to the position they stood she was surprised to see extra three people there with the lady maid who bumped into her.

" Your Highness" They all greeted Princess Elaine and bowed slightly to her as if they had rehearsed it .

" I am sure that you are surprised to see not just me but other servants also.

Let me introduce myself and them, my name is Sia and this is Diana. '' Sia the servant who bumped into the Princess said pointing to herself and the other female maid standing there.

"This is Dave and Donald, they were one of the fighters of our late master" . Sia introduced the male twin's, she pointed to them to differentiate who she was referring to.

But Princess Elaine was still confused about the introduction but saved it aside.

" So why are we here , like why do you choose here of all places to meet.

When we can meet somewhere else ". Princess Elaine said still observant of their every move.

" First of all , we will need you to open the entrance of the cave so we can begin the restoration of needed your lost opportunity to rule the land" . Sia said with so much sweetness in her voice as if not having the patience to wait any longer.

" And why would I do such a thing? How will opening the entrance of the cave give me power to rule the land". Princess Elaine questions Sia .

'' I could not believe this empty headed Princess Elaine would be so hard to crack.

''I thought she needs this power more than we all do and why is she acting to be holier than thou, as if she hasn't done things worse than these or should I use her sins against her ''

''Should I let her know that I was there when her father had the accident or should I still keep it to myself.

'' Anyway if she is acting so hard to crack I guess I will have to do it my own way. ''

'' Just look at her thinking no one knows her secrets anyway. She will open the entrance either way, whether we do it by hook or by crook. ''

Sia thought to herself for a long time and smiled evilly then slowly walked closer to Princess Elaine with an evil smile playing on her lips.

They were all quiet for some minutes as if waiting for the mastermind Sia to come up with an idea, since Princess has decided not to open the entrance of the cave and as if Sia was taking time to think or come up with an idea.

" Sia Sia Sia Aaa." Donald called Sia with that Sia jolted back to reality. 

" Mmmhh..." Sia cleared her throat. 

Then looked at her team knowing fully well they were all depending on her to do something so she slowly as if like a snake starts walking around the Princess. 

" Princess Elaine, we all know how greedy you are and how you want to be like your sister, we know that you are tired of being summoned around to do this , don't do this and stay away from this.

Princess Elaine if other people don't know" how the King had died of course I do know.

I was there that sunny afternoon when you pushed the King with anger from the balcony down to the first floor when you pleaded that you should be the bearer of the orb. ''

Princess Elaine eyes widen as

she couldn't believe what she just heard but she tried to contain her surprise.
