Two bound together One could say they were the same Will they die together? Or one will outlive the other? There was a queen and her servant. She was known for her wickedness and cruelty yet she was only close to her servant. The two never seemed to be apart nor did they seem to be different people. You could have mistaken one another for each other if you didn't know any better. Many rumors surrounded them. How could this be? Some even said that the queen and the servant were one in the same. That she used the servant to escape duties that she didn't want to do. "What if we did," became the question. It was natural to wonder so. If they were that similar, why not play into these rumors? In the late morning, they switched places to see if anyone wouod notice. Everything was every so slightly off as they tried to perform each other's task. Not as practiced as they both had been. This had became a routine to avoid things that they didn't want to do. No one around had a idea about this. Why would they? Everyone had their off days. That must have been what happened. How would a Queen be switched without notice? A witch came to the castle. She was rumored to be powerful enough that the other kingdoms feared her. She was presented before the queen. Her voice was loud and confident as she stared het in the eyes. "You live as one of your subjects yet you do nothing to improve the lives of them. What do you say to these claims? Content to do whatever you wish while those outside of your castle suffers." The queen scoffed at her arrogance. A outsider claimed that she was ruling poorly. She dismissed the witch but before she went, she told of a warning, "Your legacy is doomed to fail if you do not act soon." Without another word, the witch had disappeared from the castle. The queen couldn't quite get her words out of her head. One fateful night while she played as the servant. She heard of a plot to end her life that was to happen that night. She must put a stop to it was what she thought and ran off. The night of the party was busy and full of life. She moved quickly to stop what would happen. The servant shouldn't suffer her fate if it was her fate to bare. One wrong move and she had been caught- Reaching for an forbidden wing and shoved to the ground. The queen was taken to a cell and the poisoning happened. There was no suspect besides from her. If she was to be guilty by omission, she would bare it. Admission of her being the queen would cause the death of her beloved servant. Even as the servant wept as he pleaded for her to allow him to die in her place. "Can't you see that I am your loyal servant?" She smiled at the Servant wept for her fate. There had been no way for her to escape unless she switched places. The servant was present as she was walked put into an pit. She couldn't help but grin as she proclaimed "A fate fitting for a Traitor. I'll see you when you burn with me, Your Majesty." Blood splattered as she had been eaten alive without even a moment to proceed it fully. The servant now lived as the Queen and turned the kingdom into successful land. A change of heart after a near death experience was the conclusion. Unaware that the Queen had died and it was her loyal servant in her place.
