"It's been a while since I heard such beautiful na," Francis said as he walked further into the throne room. His eyes travelled across the throne room, looking at everyone who trembled before him until his eyes t with mine.
"Mala?" He asked and I imdiately looked away. I didn't know why but the mont out eyes t, it felt like my eyes couldn't handle the intensity of his gaze. I felt a slight sting in my eyes, making my eyes water and I groaned softly.
"Never look in the eyes...Mala," he ordered.
"I am so sorry, your majesty. Please forgive her ignorance. She's just a servant and she wasn't raised well by her mother," Father begged.
My father refered to as just a servant. I guess he really ant it when he disowned . But sothing kept lingering in my heart.
Why would Francis co to Sliver kingdom?
Francis finally sat on my father's throne and we all raised our heads, but still on our knees.
"What brings you here, your majesty? We are indeed honoured to have you in our midst. I hope your visit brings peace and happiness to us....or have we done anything wrong your, highness?" Father asked.
I never knew his voice could be so calm.
Ignoring his question. "What has Mala done?" Francis asked and my heart skipped a beat.
"Ignore her, your highness. She's not soone you should worry about," Father responded, as if trying to get as far from Francis as possible. As much as I tried to deny it, a part of kept telling that he was trying to protect .
"That isn't what I asked you, Lucas. What did Mala do?" Francis asked, with his voice holding quite a level of authority.
"Your majesty, the servant hasn't done anything wrong. We only have her tied because she's a servant. We only suspected her of sothing and we are not sure yet if she did it," Father lied.
So everything he did and has been doing was all out of anger....he never wanted dead. Queen Venessa had been the one who planted the hatred inside of him.
"Guards, please. Take Au....Mala away," Father commanded shakily.
The guards stared at Francis for a while, as if waiting for an approval but since he didn't move a nerve, they ca close to , grabbed , and took towards the entrance.
Nothing about getting married to Francis ca to my head and I just wanted to leave that place before the devil decides to punish by himself.
When we reached the door, I found myself being suspended in the air then dropped to the ground. I felt my self hitting the ground with so much force that my back ached.
Francis.
The guards imdiately fell to the ground and bowed to him, begging for him to spare them.
I groaned.
"I'll ask you one more ti, Lucas. What did Mala do?" Francis sneered.
"Your majesty, please....I..." before my father could finish.
"She killed her mother!" Queen Venessa loudly revealed.
My heart skipped a beat. My hands were still tied and I felt so uncomfortable, laying on the ground. "Please.... your majesty. I didn't do it!" I imdiately refuted.
"Your majesty," father as well called.
Queen Venessa was truly against .
"So Mala killed her own mother?" Francis asked then his words were accompanied with a chuckle. "When I heard her na, I should have known that she would be able to do such...and worse," he flatly said.
"I didn't do it..." I managed to say but it felt like no one listened to . "And who is her father?" Francis asked. I didn't understand why he was suddenly interested in knowing who I was and what I did.
Maybe because he planned to punish by himself. "She used to be the king's first daughter. The woman she murdered is Queen Raya. Her father disowned her afterwards," Queen Venessa's mouth ran.
"So you murdered a Queen?" He asked, obviously staring at even though I didn't see him. "Then why is she still alive?" Francis asked.
"Your majesty, we are not sure yet that she truly murdered Raya. It only happened a few hours ago, your majesty. The accusations are re assumptions," Father argued and my heart ached with pain.
"It is certain that the girl killed Queen Raya, your highness. King Lucas is only trying to defend her because she's his daughter," Queen Venessa protested.
"Well, I only ca to inform you myself that your village has been slacking out. You haven't been producing enough and your governnt is getting loose. Next ti I co here, I'll wipe every single royal mber without leaving anyone behind. Dare ," Francis warned coldly before he walked towards my direction.
"Your majesty!" Queen Venessa called out.
"What?"
"Can you take one of my sons with you to Cresent? Either of them would humbly serve as your right hand man. It would be such an honour and I assure you, they are strong n," Queen Venessa selfishly asked.
She dared to make her sons find favour in Francis's eyes after strongly wishing for my death.
Francis chuckled, in a rather mocking tone.
The next thing I heard was the sound of Anthony and Alfred chocking.
A part of liked it.
It stopped and they were left coughing.
"I know strong n when I see one. These ones are weaklings. I doubt that they can rule the kingdom. There are only even few chances that they will...that's if they don't die before they get to throne," Francis threatened.
The devil walked ahead and stood next to and I had my eyes shut, awaiting my death. He would only have to lift a finger to end my life. "Take her with ," he commanded before leaving.
Before I knew it, his guards who stood at the entrance ca in and dragged out.
"Father! Father!" I scread, but no one heard my cry. I was placed on a horse still with my hands tied with another guard behind .
