" What Kenneth started was carried on with Robert's succession. There was no bloody war or bickering for power. Everyone knew their own place and what they needed to do. Still like father like son, for his partner he choose soone from the Morgan family."
Kate did read the novel-like love story of Samuel's parents. Their exploits were famous not just in this country but all around the world. There was also the na of demoness associated with her mothers na but she didn't know if it was true or not.
" My family was one of them that got swept up overnight. They weren't punished harshly since I was still set to marry into the family but it was never the sa again. Stranger would co to and urge to do sothing about it thinking I may be able to help but I turned everyone down."
" Where were they went I was screaming at the top of my lungs for their help? Do they think I am so sort of saint that would just forgive them if they begged ? I went from a maiden in love to a cold and calculating person overnight."
" People don't understand that love is a powerful emotion, if one was able to channel it for anything other than good would twist and turn into sothing completely unrecognizable. I beca a husk of my forr self that didn't care about anything. I only wanted power which led to accept the marriage arrangent." She chuckled thinking about it.
" But you are laughing now? It worked out in the end right?" Kate was even more sure that the old woman that was sitting next to her was not the sa person she was describing.
" Right. I never imagined just one word from him would turn my world upside down. Do you know when we first t, we didn't talk for the entire session. Just sitting there as he kept reading his silly book. I thought he too hated because I hated myself at that ti."
" Even after our marriage we didn't sleep on the sa bed for months. He never bothered or care about it. I never once saw him make any move. He looked so cold like soone was holding a mirror snickering at saying, 'this is the man that you deserved!' "
" I had to admit he was handso even when he never said a word to . On the other hand, I was obsessed with gathering more power, rallying whatever remnant forces remained to finally get revenge for my family. By now I completely bought out their version of the story about Rothschild trying to swallow everything because they were greedy."
" Were you plotting a rebellion?" Kate was surprised to hear about the lost pages of history.
" Kind of, I was busy eting everyone no matter what sort of cris they committed against the innocent. I only wanted to hurt the family as a way to lessen my own pain. Like I said, love is brutal if you channel it for nefarious purposes, I was committed trying to delay the inevitable."
" I don't even rember but I was on the floor of the audience room. No matter how secretive I was, there was bound to soone who betrayed in the end. I faced the head of the family who sat there with his hand supporting his face looking at like I was nothing. I realized imdiately no matter how much I tried I could never asure up to him.
He was a genius, the epito of leader that shaked the core of the family and built it up overnight through sheer willpower."
Kate stayed silent, for the first ti her voice had so emotions mixed into it. Did she love him even after they both married other people? What kind of face was she making facing him? Many questions rushed to her mind.
" I know what you are thinking but I realized at that point that what I had in the past was just innocent likeness to his charisma. Even while facing him, I didn't back down and remained stone-faced while people that I trusted kept telling him my 'cris'.
I looked at the shimring floor, the reflection of my face made my realize that even I don't know who I had beca at that ti." She paused for a second collecting her thoughts. It's been decades but she rembered that day like yesterday.
" I was ready to get what I deserved but suddenly soone unexpected entered the room. People began whispering because it was the first ti he had shown his face in years. I looked backed to see the handso man walk confidently under the scrutinizing gazes.
People who didn't spend much ti with him would say he was still that cold person that didn't care about anything but books but after having 'silent' conversation while glancing at his face I could see slight worry in his eyes."
" You an.."
" Yes, my husband surprisingly showed up. He stood in front of and began telling how everything was his plan and I was only acting on his behalf. I thought I heard incorrectly but seeing shocking faces all across the room made realize I too was making the sa face."
" He proudly proclaid his sins and what's more surprising was that he seed to be aware of everything. If not how could he recite the details that only I should have known? His own verdict was to punish the person responsible severely while his only condition was that I should be freed and let go from the family with substantial family assets that belonged to him."
" I didn't know why he was doing that? I never showed him an ounce of compassion or love. We never even talked for more than a minutes of while I would only curse and call out vulgar nas right to his face but for so reason him standing tall in front of filled with a sense of protection. I never really noticed his broad shoulder or his commanding voice without a hint of fear."
" He beca the coolest man that I ever witnessed." She said with a huge smile on her face. Kate was able to tell how much she loved him just from the face she was making.
