Alexa chuckled as Miss Fiona walked closer to them.
“Excuse you?” Alexa said and arched her brows.
“I Have a confession to make” Miss Fiona said knelt down on the floor.
“Really? Go on” Alexa persuaded as Miss Fiona took in a deep breath.
“Late King Ethan isn’t your father” Miss Fiona blasted and the crowd gasped.
“What the he.ll are you saying? Are you drunk or something?” The senior priest uttered, staring at her wierdly.
“I’m not drunk. I’m serious, Alexa is not the the daughter of Late King Ethan.
“I Think you’re sick, Fiona.. How how can you say that.. I mean, why would you even think of such a thing” Mrs. Claire fired, having the urge to punch Miss Fiona.
“Are you sure of what you’re saying?” Alexa asked, with a confused look.
“Yes”
“If he’s not my father, who then is my father?” Alexa asked and everywhere went silence.
Miss Fiona spare a glance at King Williams who was staring at her curiously.
Curiousity was slowly eating everyone in the field as they waited for her to speak up.
Five minutes past and she’s yet to talk.
Some of the crowd began to loose patient on her.
Mrs. Claire wasn’t left out. She was glaring at Miss Fiona in anger.
“I Don’t think she have anything usefull to say, she’s just trying to pull our…”
“King Williams” Miss Fiona dropped the bombshell, cutting Mrs. Claire off.
“Oh My God!” One of the chiefs exlaimed.
The crowd flinched in shock.
Mrs. Claire stared at everyone with a confused look.
Erica and Bryan was kinda suprised to what was happening.
The Knife on Alexa’s hand fell off as she turned her gaze to King Williams who was also shocked and confused.
“I Think you’re mistaken me for someone. What do you mean she’s my daughter? My daughter died seventeen years ago.” King Williams disagreed.
“Your daughter died seventeen years ago and Alexa was also given birth to seventeen years ago, don’t you think there’s something fishy?” Miss Fiona stated.
“Okay, this is getting more confusing. How is he my father? How did it happen?” Alexa asked curiously.
“It’s a long story but i’m gonna narrate it now”
“I Was 13 years when i started working as maid in the palace. I was very jovial and hardworking at that makes the king and the queen to love me more than the other maid.
I Was so close to them that i was allowed to enter their room when i choose to.
When the Queen gave birth, I was a babysitter to their daughter.
Though, the baby was very ugly, i have no choice but to babysit her.
The baby was just five days when The King gave me a very beautiful baby which happens to be Alexa.
He told me that the baby’s father (King Williams) commited a crime and as a result of that, the baby has to be killed.
My ears cringled when i heard that the beautifull baby is to be killed.
I Rushed to the Queen’s room with the baby and fortunately, she wasn’t in the room.
As quickly as possible, i exchanged the two babies because i love the beautiful one more.
The beautiful one (Alexa) was saved while the ugly one was killed by her own father.
The Queen was somehow suspicious about the sudden change of her baby.
As a trusted maid, i convinced the queen and she believed.
Three days later, the chaos started in our Kingdom and the priest announced that the beautifull baby (Alexa) is the cause of it and anyone who love her instead of maltreating her will bear the consequences.
I cried all night, trying my best not to maltreat her but i was scared to die.
I summon the courage and began to maltreat her when she was 5, soon, i became a master on it until she travelled to atlancia and her father and mother became our ruler.
I’m narrating this story because we all found out that all what the priest was saying years back was all a lie” Miss Fiona narrated and the crowd gasped.
Mrs. Claire was stunned. Everyone was in total shock.
“Oh My God! My parents… They’re alive” Alexa shirked happily and bursted into tears of joy.
She drew the key on one of the gaurd’s hand and removed the chain on her parent’s hand.
If happiness was a name, i would be King and Queen Williams.
They were so happy like never before. Their only daughter whom they thought was dead was now standing beside them and not just a girl but a hero.
Why won’t they be happy?

(30 minutes later)
After jubilating with the crowd, everyone settled down.
Mrs. Claire was also happy so see Alexa smiling widely but she still felt pained that the had no family.
“Don’t bother about anything, i’m still your half daughter no matter what” the words echoed in her ear as she let out a smile.
“So guys, now that Alexa has found her new parents and Miss Fiona has confessed her sins, it’s time to pass judgement to her” the senior chief announced.
“Alexa, you have our attention” The senior chief said and all eyes went to her.
“Once again, i want to thank you for exchanging me years ago… If not for you, i wouldn’t have been alive now. Thanks” Alexa said sincerly and Miss Fiona smiled.
“You have been forgiven” Alexa stated and Fiona’s eyes widened.
“Huh”
“Yeah. You maltreated me because you were scared to death. You never did it out of your own free will… You did it so as not to fall in the Priest trap so you have been forgiven” Alexa stated and Miss Fiona jumped up in happiness.
“Thank you… Thank you so much” Miss Fiona said and pulled Alexa into a hug.
