Novel Bin Chapter 530 Who Are You?
"Hey, and what do you mean by that huh?" Mrs Parker chided her. Leah who was in the process of serving a customer paused and stole a glance at the counter.
"I was once a student like you and a very good one at that...,"
"I didn\'t mean to insult you neither was it my intention to get you upset...,"
"I know that so you can chill," Mrs Parker cut in. She sat back on the chair behind her.
"So what is it about school that is making you so worried?" Mrs Parker asked a bit calmly this time around.
"Also you mentioned carnival, are you perhaps referring to the Kingdom\'s biggest carnival which is usually held at your school each year...,"
"You know about that?" Joanna squinted her eyebrows, abandoned what she was about to do and paid full attention to Mrs Parker.
"Girl, is there anyone in the entire Kingdom who doesn\'t know about the infamous carnival... even those who haven\'t attended it before had one way or the other heard about it? I am sure of it," Mrs Parker replied with pride.
Of course, Joanna has heard about the carnival on different occasions in the past but unfortunately, she was among the category of people who haven\'t been privileged to attend the famous event.
And this was all thanks to her entire family who always made sure she worked until she was on the brink of fainting on such days.
This was a deliberate action on their part to make sure she doesn\'t attend the events.
Maybe she hasn\'t been able to come up with an idea yet because she hasn\'t been to the carnival before to witness how things were done.
"I guess you are right about that," Joanna concurred.
"So what is so disturbing about the upcoming carnival to make you act this way?" Mrs Parker went further to ask.
"For our group, I happen to be the leader who will oversee all the activities we will put up on that day...,"
"And isn\'t that a good thing so why do you look like someone who is thinking of a way to come up with money to finance her husband\'s burial?" Mrs Parker, who saw nothing wrong with what Joanna said, commented.
"You think this is a good thing?" Joanna asked. She didn\'t know whether to laugh or cry at that moment.
"I bet you will think otherwise when you learn about the deep shit I have put myself in," Joanna muttered.
Right at that minute Joanna went ahead and disclosed what happened that day and how she came about the idea of participating in the carnival\'s preparation.
"That is so bad," Mrs Parker expressed.
"Yeah, it is that bad," Joanna replied, her head hanging low.
"Not only do we have to come up with something before the carnival, but whatever we come up with must be unique. It must not be something that will require weeks to master since we are pressed for time," Joanna whispered, her head remaining lowered.
"If only I wasn\'t the second leader I wouldn\'t have cared too much about this...," Joanna let her words linger.
She was worried and frustrated at the same time. Mrs Parker whose gaze has been on her watched her in silence for about two minutes.
"Actually, for the past few years, I haven\'t missed the carnival. I always made sure to attend it because the liveliness there is relaxing. It takes your mind off a lot of things," Mrs Parker started.
"If I am not wrong I think the carnival is the liveliest annual event in the Kingdom. Although it\'s always fun, there is something I have noticed that had never been done in all these years. Your group can give it a shot...,"
"And what is that?" The impatient Joanna asked. Her curious eyeballs lit up as she waited for Mrs Parker\'s reply.
"On no occasion has an activity about The Great War been performed...,"
"But that is a very sensitive topic so it is not surprising that none has done something on it. I am sure you are aware of this," Joanna replied sternly.
Although The Great War took place far before she came into existence. The knowledge she has derived from reading ancient historical books was enough to match that of the one who witnessed it.
That is what she strongly believes.
"Of course, I know that and this is exactly why I think at least one or two activities should have been performed in memory of that great war that almost cost us our existence and that of the humans and werewolves," Mrs Parker stated her opinion without beating around the bush.
"I always laughed when I heard someone say that The Great War was an event we would never forget. Because what are the things set in place to make sure that this particular event is not forgotten?" Mrs Parker confessed.
"So many people sacrificed their lives to make sure we attain this peace we enjoy today. What exactly have we done to show their families that we haven\'t forgotten these people and their sacrifices?" Mrs Parker continued.
As she talked she didn\'t care whether or not her customers were listening to their conservation.
What mattered to her was getting her points across to the one she was conversing with.
"It\'s such a sensitive topic and I understand why none of the students had ever thought of performing it. If not done well it could lead to capital punishment...,"
"I also understand their fears but I don\'t get why you are no different from them," Mrs Parker alleged to Joanna\'s surprise.
"What do you mean?" Joanna demanded, her eyebrows squinted in confusion.
"Who are you?" Mrs Parker asked, her index finger pointed at Joanna\'s chest.
"Joanna of course," Joanna replied with her head held high.
"And what is your title?" Mrs Parker inquired. Joanna didn\'t understand Mrs Parker\'s question and as such didn\'t jump in to reply.
"You\'re the King\'s mate. The future Queen and Mother of the Kingdom. Your title is enough for you to tread on the path others dared not to walk on. You have the power to dive into topics ordinary people don\'t have the guts to touch...," Mrs Parker started.
