Lewis stepped into his stable, the neighing of horses filled the air. He would have to be fast with the issue of the twin so that he could call back the men who took care of the horses.He walked to where he had the twin tied up and something immediately felt wrong. The window to the room was broken.The tray of food in his hand fell to the floor, he hurriedly went to where the twin should be. He knew what he would see but he hoped with all his heart that it wouldn't be true.He found the place empty and the ropes loose. He stumped his foot against the ground in anger, his heart beating wildly as his palms became sweaty.Someone must have known about his plans or maybe it was just the other that had come to rescue his brother. Either ways, he wasn't safe any longer. Yet, he could still try his luck and push through with his plans of exposing Nana because the more he lingered, the higher the tendency of his danger.But he needed a prove!He turn different options in his mind. The King
Rika who was lost in thought didn't hear her. He still wanted to know how she swang it all in her favour."But how? How did you..."She turned to him. Seeing his confusion, she immediately understood his question."Meeting an empty hideout was enough suspicion. I knew something was off and the only person I suspected was Lewis, so I immediately had him followed. The Twin had earlier reported that his brother was missing, that even made me suspect Lewis more. When I came back to the Palace, I discovered that Malik had been the one to capture them and they had refused to speak. Fate was just on my side." She reached out for goblet and started pouring wine into it."I convinced them all that they would have to accuse Lewis or else the sacrifice will not be worth it. They were immediately ready to lay down their lives for Alusa." She threw her head back in laughter and Rika squinted his eyes in confusion as he collected the goblet of wine she offered."And as for Sanji, it was too easy!"
They looked at her almost immediately she walked in. Sanji was the first to jump to his feet, the fear in his eyes still obvious."My son! Where is my son?!" He stumbled to the floor then stood up quickly again."You have done your part, of course, I would do mine." He dropped to the floor slowly then drew his kneels up his chin, tears streamed down his face. He muttered inaudible words to himself through clattering teeth.Nana looked down at Lewis who laid flat on the floor. "He is the one I want in another dungeon. He is causing too much trouble." She snarled and immediately two guards opened the gates. They picked up Lewis who weakly almost stumbled on his own feet, his eyes droopping every now and then.When they got close to Nana, he immediately sprung away from their grip, he crashed into her and she fell to the ground with a scream. Her perfect gown ruined as a result of its contact with the stinky floor. Their grip immediately found him again, kicks against his stomach made h
She bit her lips in guilt before closing her eyes briefly and nodding her head."Maybe I overdid it, I am sorry.""Maybe...?" He mocked.She sucked in a long deep breath."I overdid it, I am sorry. Yet you can't totally blame me, you betrayed him, Lewis. He was going to change!" Her shoulders grew tense as she defended herself."I did it for us, I did it so that we can be together, Clara! What part of that do you not understand?!" His eyes misted with tears. "And everyday I regretted it, you pushed me away for something that I selflessly did. Didn't you ever think that it was painful for me to betray Goben? Still, I did it! I did it for us, for you!"Her resistance finally broke and tears streamed down her face."But you broke us. Because of him? Because of a man that would throw you into the dungeon without thinking twice, a man that gave you hell. Yet I am the bad one merely because he was 'changing'.""Changing...?" He laughed humourlessly."I am sorry, Lewis. I was just so angry t
Why would Nana want to kill Aaron? Why would she want to kill her own grandson?Still, DL had been her own grandson too but this was different. Aaron was from Alec and Aaron was a good King. She paced around the small room. "Doctor Rika had been the one to prescribe the medicine to them. Except..." She stopped in her tracks. "Except if Doctor Rika and Nana had planned this together. Does that mean, Kara...?"Her breath became heavy with shock."And Clara...? The weakness! The fever!"She immediately packed the bottles into a bag and bolted out of her room. She had to see Aaron immediately.******************************"I feel better now, you should leave." He said resting on an elbow while he tried to sit up in his bed."But Aaron...?" She turned to him immediately, walking towards the side of the bed he was facing."Leave now, Aliyah. I don't want anyone seeing you here with me. Especially Diamant." "Is that the thank you I get for doing everything to save your life?" She folde
Nana held the burning torch while she stared deadly at the beheaded body. The breeze blew faintly, allowing the strands of her red hair that had managed to escape from her tight bun get into her face. She threw the torch to the pyre and it caught fire immediately. The black smoke that erupted from the pyre forced her to take some steps back, she coughed incessantly till she could finally control it. Her eyes became watery but she continued to watch the smoke disappear into the soft breeze of the peaceful evening. She watched till all that was left were ashes where there used to be a head and a body. She watched for a long time before she was able to drag her feet that had now grown heavy from exhaustion along with her. She bent to the pyre then started putting the ashes into a vase. With the vase in her hand she turned into the woods. The leaves of the tall trees made a whooshing sound as the breeze blew them softly, some leaves fell to her cloth and on the path she took. She held th
His hand held her wrist in a tight grip and he looked at her with accusing bitter eyes. Her eyes gleamed with fear as she stared into the blackness of his own."Aaron, you are hurting me." She whimpered in pain. The closeness they shared compelling and painful."Because this is all your fault! If only I hadn't always blindly listened to you and your baseless accusations!""Baseless accusations?! You call that baseless accusations!" Her face was now mixed with anger. She intensified her struggle resulting to an increase in the noise of swishing cloth. Her attempt angered him and he reached for her second hand in a tight grip too."What else would you call the rubbish you had me believe! This is all your fault!""It isn't!" She could feel his fingernails digging into her skin. The heaviness of alcohol in the air swept pass her nose and her eyes widened. "Aaron, you are drunk! Let me go, you are hurting me.""I don't think it is a fraction of how you hurt me with how much you turn me dow
With his arm across his face, Li stare at the ceiling. He could hear the loud chatter of guards outside, the little insects making their usual noise at night, the slow burning of the wood in the fireplace that kept the little room warm and illuminated. He could hear almost everything with how silent his mind was. The loudest to him was the noisy breathing of the guard naked by his side as she cuddled close to him under the thin cover cloth covering away their nakedness.Then slowly his mind went stormy and his eyes went blurry with tears. He blinked it away, his eyes still focused on the ceiling.He just hoped that this sacrifice would be worth it.******************************Li entered the dungeon, his eyes casted to the ground. He mumbled to himself, then he looked at his sister who smiled feebly at him. The guard followed closely behind and when he was settled, she chained him back to his post. She smiled broadly at him then gave him a forehead kiss before disappearing into the
