Hidden Stories 3: The Queen's Influence

                   

Queen Nancee was in here chambers after her youngest daughter was born. She was very happy to have two beautiful daughters. She was married to a recently deceased duke and she was left to care of the land. However, times were tough for her. She was losing her land, money, and her servants by the days. She only wished for the best for her two daughters and began to seek advice from anyone with wisdom to help her land. A maid entered her chambers as she put Natasha to sleep and Natalia was eating dinner.

"Have you found anyone who could help us?" Nancee asked worriedly.

"I believe so, but I do not trust him, my queen" the maid answered nervously.

"I am sure he is a fine gentleman, please, let him in" Nancee said simply.

The maid bowed her head and then walked to the doors. She opened the doors, moved to the side, and a man in hood with a compass around his neck entered the room. He never revealed his face to the queen nor the maid during this talk.

"My Queen, I heard you needed help" he bowed to her.

"Yes, I am trying to find a way to restore this once glorious land. Can you help me?" the Queen asked of the man.

"Of course! However, you will need to do everything I say for this to work" he said to the Queen eerily, "It is for the children's sake"

The Queen looked at the man curiously. She never talked about her kids with him. How did he know? The man then realized something about himself.

"Oh, how very rude of me! I am Lance! Now, are you ready for our mission to begin?" he asked of her as he bowed.

"Right, so how shall we begin?" she asked surprised.

Lance stood up as his brown hair flowed behind him. He held his compass and looked at the Queen. He pulled out a sword and kneeled before the Queen.

"Hold this sword and you shall feel power of lust! It shall guide you to the path you seek!" Lance said encouragingly.

The Queen hesitantly reached for the sword. She didn't think it was harmful, but when she looked at Lance's eyes, she felt something was wrong. She grabs the hilt of the sword and then she felt the power of Lust inside her, growing! She glowed a light blue and then she felt herself becoming consumed by its power! Lance was laughing in the distance in joy!

"Now, my Queen, what is our next objective?" Lance asked as he kneeled.

"We shall have a talk with the king of England" she replied with a dark smile.

"Why?" Lance asked interested.

"Simple: if we need power, the king would be the perfect target! Now, as for his Queen, well, she can be destroyed" Nancee smiled at him.

Lance nodded as he stood up.

"What shall I do first then, my Queen?" he asked.

"Kill the current queen and bring me her head!" Nancee declared as she held the sword in her lap and sat in her chair.

Lance bowed and left the room. He found his horse and then prepared for his journey. He got on his horse and rode to the King of England's castle. He arrived outside and looked around. There were guards protecting the entrance. He would have to find a way into the castle without the guards noticing him. He dismounted his horse and then ran to the nearest balcony. He looked at his bag and then pulled out a rope with a claw at the end of it. He threw the rope and the claw locked itself into the bars. He quickly climbs up to the balcony.

"My husband wants another wife? But I bore him a son and took care of his daughter!" the queen shouted at a maid.

"I am sorry, but the king orders it so" the maid replied calmly.

The current Queen began to sob as she said "Leave me!"

The maid ran out of her chambers and Lance smiled to himself. He griped his compass and slowly opened the doors. He saw the Queen crying in her bed.

"Why?! I did everything for him and his children! What wrong have I done?!" she shouted.

Lance's smile faded into a scowl. He stood behind the Queen with his compass in hand. The Queen noticed his shadow and turned around.

"Who are you? How did you get in here? What are you going to do?" the Queen asked surprised.

"End the age of peace and bring destruction. It will start with your death and then it shall follow with the king's and your precious children!" Lance shouted angrily.

"No! Kill me, but please, spare my children! They've done nothing!" the Queen begged.

Lance shook his head and opened his compass. There was a swift dark hand that grab the Queen's neck and then a snap. The Queen was released and she fell to the ground, lifeless. Lance smiled as he closed the compass, but he could hear a panicked voice of a few maids and servants coming towards the Queen's chambers. Lance hide in the shadows as the doors opened.

"Oh, the Queen!" shouted one as she knelt to the Queen's side.

"She's dead!" another shouted in a panic.

Lance slipped out and then ran to find the children. He didn't want any Dreamer to stop his plans this time. He heard the cries of a child and smiled. He ran faster and saw the room of the children opened. He looked through the doors and saw the King holding his son while watching his daughter.

"My sweet children, I hope that one day England will be a perfect place for you" the King whispered softly to the children.

Lance cursed under his breath. He couldn't let the king see his face and people were coming his way. He ran back to Queen's chambers and saw the Queen's deceased body on the floor. He saw her cloth bloodied and he ripped it off of her as proof of her death. More servants were rushing to the Queen's chambers. He opened the balcony's doors and opened them. He jumped down and ran to his horse. He got on his horse and galloped away towards Nancee's land. He could hear the cries of the king and a child crying.

"My Queen, the deed has been done" Lance said as he entered her manor and held the cloth in his hands.

"Good. Now we move to the second step in the morning. My maid has a room for you" Nancee said as she retreated to her room with the cloth in her hands and handed the sword back to him.

A maid was by her side and walked to him. She guided me past the children's room and then opened the doors for my room. Before he entered, her looked at the maid curiously.

"Are her children special?" he asked the maid.

The maid was startled, but she answered calmly "Well, they do have gifts if that is what you are asking"

"What kind?" he asked her again.

"Well, uh one has magic and the other can create green spheres of energy" the maid replied nervously.

She then left for her room and Lance held his compass as he began to think of a way to get rid of the two daughters to the Queen. He then fell asleep in his bed. Once he awoke to the sunrise, he went to the main entrance to receive his next mission. Queen Nancee walked down the stairs and entered the main entrance of the castle.

"My Queen, what is my next mission?" he asked of her as he kneeled.

"Lance, for now, your next mission is to act as my personal guard when we visit the castle" Queen Nancee said with a dark smile.

He bowed to his queen and they walked out of the castle and boarded a carriage. The carriage took them to the King's castle. It was a very stone castle with my guards and a giant wooden drawbridge. The Queen could only smile. The carriage stopped in front of the castle and they were escorted to the main entrance. They were seated and told to wait for the king. However, much to Lance's surprise, the Queen had brought her young daughters with her.

"My Queen, is it wise to bring them?" Lance asked annoyed.

"Of course, it is. That way the King won't have to worry about heirs to his throne" Queen Nancee replied with a calm smile.

The King soon entered and smiled at the Queen. The maids that held Nancee's two children were sound asleep as the King walked passed them with a sad face.

"Nancee, I've lost my wife and I have two children to take care of. England needs another Queen, but I don't know how" the King confessed his sorrows to the Queen.

"You will find a way, but I need to warn you that the land recently isn't doing well" Nancee said sadly as if she was trying to soothe him.

Lance sighed. He didn't like being in a room with nobles at times. He walked outside and waited for the Queen to finish her talk with the King.

"I just don't know who to marry. Our friends have left this land and you have your own troubles to deal with" the King sobbed.

Nancee hugged the King as he wept. She then smiled to herself. Her plan was working wonderfully.

"My King, we have known each other for so long, why don't we marry? I can look after your kids and you can help England" Nancee offered him as she held his hands.

"I am not sure. My children are still recovering from losing their mother. I don't want them to think I've replaced her so easily" The King said sadly.

"Don't worry! I will not infer with their lives! I think they would love to have two more children" Nancee explained with a smile.

The King shook his head, "I am not sure yet Nancee. Four children would be hard. Please wait for my answer. However, you are welcomed to stay the night here"

A maid showed Nancee her rooms and another servant lead the other maids who held Nancee's children to another room. Nancee called for Lance. He arrived into her room.

"My Queen, what is the matter?" Lance asked as he bowed.

"I need you to get rid of my children" she answered simply.

"Why?" Lance asked surprised.

"If we need the king's power, we need to get rid of some people. I want you to give my children to people who would take care of them. Then we need to make it seem like they were murdered" Nancee explained.

Lance replied as he held out the sword, "Are you sure? What are you after, my Queen?"

Nancee gripped the sword and felt a rush of power in her. She smiled in delight.

"Power. I was the poorest girl in the village. I worked hard to be a duchess and I only wanted to live a life of luxury. Thanks to you and this new power I feel, I will have this!" Nancee explained with an evil grin.

Lance could only smile at her. He bowed before her.

"I shall make sure your children are safe and away. Their fake deaths will be planned soon" Lance said simply and walked out of her room.

He walked to the children's room and found Nancee's children asleep. He then took them out of the castle quickly and quietly. Once he escaped the castle, he headed for a town nearby a forest. He checked to make sure he wasn't followed and then placed the two children on the ground.

"Now, let's make my job easier and end these girls' lives" Lance said to himself.

He wasn't aware that Natalia had awoken from her slumber. Natalia held her younger sister, Natasha in her hands, sacredly. She backed away from Lance.

"Oh, did you hear what I said?" Lance asked when he saw her.

Natalia nodded and then backed away. Lance sighed and then reached for her. Natalia ran away carrying her little sister through the woods! Lance cursed under his breath and chased after them. He didn't know that Natalia could run so fast! He opened his compass.

"Give me the power to easer her memories of me!" he ordered the compass and the compass shot a beam at Natalia.

The beam struck Natalia down, but she gave out a loud screech. Lance cursed under his breath and hide himself behind the trees in the forest. Cody ran towards the scream with Stewart.

"What was that?" Cody asked.

"A child" Stewart said as he looked at the baby and the unconscious Natalia.

Stewart knelt besides Natalia while Cody picked up the baby. Stewart shook Natalia awake.

"Hello, who are you?" Stewart asked curiously.

"Natalia. Who are you?" she asked him sacredly.

"Stewart. Is that young girl your sister?" Stewart asked her.

"I... don't know... I can't remember anything!" Natalia cried as she hugged him.

Stewart hugged her back and then looked at Cody.

"What should we do?" Cody asked curiously.

"Take her with you. I'll give Natalia to Solomon" Stewart replied as he carried Natalia back to the manor.

Lance couldn't believe what he saw. He found 4 other Dreamers. He wanted to end their lives, but he shook his head. He remembered that he had to fake their deaths. He ran back to the castle and found a piglet in the stables. He opened his compass and then a knife shot out and killed the piglet. He took the deceased piglet and spread's its blood in crib and bed that held Nancee's children. He looked at the piglet and then threw the piglet back to the stables. He then walked to his room and slept till the third day.

"My children are dead!" Nancee shouted as tears fell from her face.

Lance awoke and acted shocked. He ran Nancee's location and saw her being held by the King. The maids were cleaning the bloodied sheets as Lance stopped one of them.

"What happened?" he asked them seriously.

"Nancee's children are dead. Someone snuck into the night and took them and there was blood everywhere" the maid replied.

Lance looked at Nancee and then he walked out. He then listened to their conversation.

"My children are dead..." Nancee cried.

"Nancee, I am so sorry. I know I can't do much for you, but please, you can stay here for as long as you need" the King said comfortingly.

Nancee could only nod. For the next few weeks, Nancee helped around the castle and Lance remained at her side. However, they had to wait for her marriage to the King before they could complete the third step in their plans. One day, the King took Nancee out of the castle and kneeled before her in the garden. He had asked for her hand in marriage, much to Nancee's delight. Afterwards, Nancee approached Lance in private.

"We've done it. Now! We just need to carry out our final part: kill the King" Nancee whispered to Lance.

"I am aware my Queen. However, we do have a wedding to get through and a big party" Lance reminded.

"I know, but our plan is so close to being complete" Nancee replied annoyed.

Lance could only nod, but then the King entered the room.

"My Queen! Please help me get ready for the party" the King asked as he kissed Nancee's cheek.

Lance was left to think about their next motive: destroying the Dreamers. After the wedding ceremony was finished, many nobles from many countries came to their party. Lance was wearing a knight's uniform while the King introduced Nancee to the other nobles.

"King George 3! It has been too long!" another King in yellow and gold greeted who was standing with his wife.

"King Louis! I am grateful to see you! Oh! Queen Marie! You look lovely" King George said with a smile, "Oh you brought your three knights!"

Jasmine, Stewart, and Solomon stood beside king Louis and Queen Marie. Lance looked at the three of them with interest and fear. He then realized who they were: they were Dreamers from France.

"Of course, we did. They needed a break from watching our wonderful twins" Queen Marie answered with a smile.

Lance was surprised. He then left the party for a good night rest. He had begun to form a plan to get rid of the remaining Dreamers. After a few days, Nancee walked into Lance's room.

"Lance, are you ready for our final plan to take England?" Nancee asked happily.

Lance nodded and held the sword. He turned and handed the sword to her. They walked to the bedroom she shared with George. Lance entered the room and opened his compass. Five dark hands appeared out of the compass and grab George! Four hands grab his legs and wrist while the fifth hand covered his mouth. He was confused and afraid. Nancee laughed as she held the sword in her hands. George was terrified when Nance crawled onto the bed and raised the sword. She thrust the sword into his heart while he couldn't scream. Once George was dead, Lance and Nancee cleaned the sword and then left the maids to find his body. The maids were horrified about this and then Nancee held a funeral for him. After a week of England mourning, Nancee was smiling and celebrating her secret victory.

"My Queen, I fear there is another obstacle that prevents you from becoming powerful" Lance said as he entered her chambers.

"Who?" she asked curiously.

"Dreamers, they have powers that could rule the world" Lance replied.

"Where are they?" Nancee asked seriously.

"France" he answered calmly.

Nancee began to weight her options. She wouldn't mind having another country to rule, but then what would it cost her?

"Alright, how shall we do this?" Nancee asked interested.

Lance smiled as his plan was coming to him.
