The Alien King's Alluring Obsession

Edna

Silence ensued.

Nobody made any efforts to break the oppressive silence that had ensued.

"What in Caeser's name is going on here? I better get an explanation now. My patience is not an unlimited thing." Madam Tayo warned. Madeline swam to the shore and some of the ladies standing near the water helped her up.

"Who called Madam Tayo here?" One of the women behind me whispered.

"I did. When I saw things were getting out of hand, I contacted her. I didn't know the issue would escalate this quickly." Joanna said.

"I am not going to repeat myself after this. What is going on here? Why is Edna wet?" Madam Tayo's patience were clearly wearing thin.

"You told Madeline to teach me the ropes of how this place works. Alas, she thinks humiliating me is the best way to go. In her opinion, bullying me would teach all I need to know." I explained with a sarcastic smile. "She's lying." Madeline yelled.

Madam Tayo looked at her before glancing at me, "Edna, what do you mean by Madeline humiliating you? What did she do?"

"Since you basically made her my teacher, I thought following her around will be for the best. I would learn things better that way and I would pick up valuable lessons too. I was wrong." I replied.

"Your explanation is getting too long. Cut it short and say it quickly." Madam Tayo interrupted me.

"Okay," I sighed, "I followed Madeline to the floating hut and she asked me to play a game. The game involved Madeline throwing the rule book you told her to teach me from, into the water. Then, she asked me to go into the water to get it. I didn't and she pushed me into the water. I didn't let her actions go like that, I did the same thing to her and I pushed her into the water too."

"She's lying." Madeline repeated, "I have witnesses. I can confirm that she is just spinning dirty and unpresentable lies."

"You said Edna is lying. Tell me your part of the story then. I will be the judge." Madam Tayo said.

She folded her arms across her chest.

She didn't look surprised at the whole debacle.

It seems these kinds of occurrences happened frequently.

Madeline was shivering from the cold air.

I wasn't any better.

She opened her mouth in a trembling manner, "Truly, I asked Edna to play a game. It was guessing peoms out of book passages. Each person will compose peoms from the book passages others throw to them. It wasn't like the game she said." I didn't interrupt her.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

I just listened to her lies quietly.

"I don't know if it is pride or something else, but truly, Edna did not refuse to play with us. Instead of telling us she didn't want to play, she took the book and threw it into the water. I asked her to get it back. My constitution is cold and I am more prone to cold and flu. I can't get it myself." Madeline continued.

I shouldn't be surprised by the words coming from Madeline's mouth, but she was completely switching black and white.

I guess being in this kind of environment would foster that kind of attitude and lifestyle.

Madeline said, "During the process of our argument, she slipped and fell into the water. I tried to ask the others to save her because I couldn't go into the water myself. I didn't want to get sick and incur unnecessary expenses. Before the others could help her, Edna dragged me into the water. This is everything that happened."

"Madeline is right." Jade spoke up, "We wanted to help her. Edna attacked before anybody could do so. Her rudeness is out of this world and she has no patience. Madam Tayo, is this the kind of person you found to join us? Bad grains of rice will eventually corrupt the good ones."

"I don't know why you guys are lying. Normally, I wouldn't speak on your little tricks. However, I have to do so in this situation. I have great plans for Edna. Don't let me find this occurrence happening again. I won't punish you guys but Madeline, any rule book you are going to get is going to be on merit. The one I promised you previously is gone. Joanna, Edna would learn some rules from you. Show her to her room too." Madam Tayo eventually passed her verdict. I don't know if I am getting paranoid.

On the surface, Madam Tayo is protecting me but in reality, I felt like she was just making me a target.

My eyes scanned the faces of all the women present. Various emotions flashed through their eyes.

These women didn't need to say anything, I knew their hatred for me would multiply.

It wasn't hard to know this.

Madam Tayo left after giving her judgement.

The women from the shore schooled their faces into a smiling mask again. It was creepy.

On the other hand, the ladies from the floating hut frowned.

Jade's frown was prominent.

As you reach the final pages, remember that 000005s.org is your destination for the complete story. Share the joy of reading with others and spread the word. The next chapter is just a visit away! Jade said, "Joanna, why did you report to Madam Tayo? Why are you taking her side? Your false kindness is making me sick."

"I can't stand by while you bully an innocent person. If that will make me an hypocritical person, so be it." Joanna replied.

I watched everything with cold eyes.

This small enclosure was the embodiment of the words, survival of the fittest. A friend might stab me in the back in the next second.

Madeline threw a venomous look at me before leaving with a snort.

She was shaking violently as she exited the area.

Joanna turned to me, "Let's go. Come and pick your room."

I nodded.

We left.

The burning gazes of the women behind me escorted me out of the floating hut area.

It seemed like my plan of being low-key, while I didn't make any new enemies failed woefully. Gosh.
