Thanks Peggy. I'm glad that you like reading my entries but dun think I'll ever be in Xiaxue's league.... hahaha Anyways, it seems that citizens from foregin lands are also interested in the going-ons in the land ruled by the Evil Queen and so I present to you, the much anticipated Chapter 3... Hope this atones for a rather disppointing Chapter 2 (now I know why people say its hard to come out with sequels)... So enjoy...
=========================================
Story of 2 Maidens
Chapter Three
In the previous chapter, it was mentioned that the Evil Queen had taken noticed of the hard work that the peasants had put in and had decided to give some of the peasants a chance to be inducted into the ranks of the nobles.

There has been a decline in the ranks of the nobles as there are those who are disappointed in the way the land was ruled under the iron hands of the Evil Queen and decided to offer their services to other lands

As part of the test, the Evil Queen divided part of her land into 4 territories and 4 peasants were chosen to run these territories. Of course, since this was designed to test the capabilites of the selected candidates, there was still a limit to what they are authorised to do.

And it was of no surprised that the 2 maidens are also made the pesudo rulers. There was much uproar in the land. Fellow peasants were furious that these 2 rookies were given the chance to be of equal footing as the other 2 Chosen Ones. They felt that there was no way the rookies can match up to their experience and wisdom. And given their recent antics, its no surprise that the peasants spoke their minds at the council meeting with the nobles.

Perhaps, the nobles themselves knew that this would be the outcome but there was little they can do as it was probably the Evil Queen's doing that the 2 maidens were added to the list of candidates in the first place. In an attempt to appease the masses, the other 2 Chosen Ones were given a more glamourous title in this test. And it was said that when the Trial comes, they will each be assessed differently and that the 2 maidens will not be ranked the same as the other Chosen Ones.

So now the stage had been set for war, it will be the Chosen Ones vs the Maidens. Will good triumph over evil? And what will become of the fate of those peasants under the rule of the Maidens? Will they serve and suffer in silence or will they secretly aid the Chosen Ones in their quest to oust them from power? Will the Maidens get their just deserts? Or will evil reign supreme?

Stay tuned to what could possibly be the concluding episode or there could be more chapters... It all depends on the upcoming struggles for power...
