Chapter 11Amelie POVStanding in front of the king, I stare down at the floor and clench my fists beside me as my blood boils in rage. The urge to grab a dagger and stab him right in his heart until he breaths his last spurs through me, but if I don't want those prisoners to suffer, I need to be calm and not do anything stupid, else I will regret it.Well, he sent for me a few minutes ago, and now, it's only the two of us in his room, and instead of attending to me so I can get the hell out of her, he's busy going through a book."You sent for me, your Highness," I break the dead silence and remind him, in case he has forgotten that I'm still here, which I know he's aware of very much."Amelie..." He calls softly, dropping the book on the bed and standing up to his feet. It takes me so much courage not to flinch, but my heart is already running a marathon in my chest as I wonder what he's about to do. I hope it's not what I'm thinking. He wouldn't be so stupid to have sex with me whe
Chapter 12Amelie POV"Not too fast. I enjoy seeing you like that," He shook his head as he sat on the bed and stared at me hungrily as if he wanted to devour me with those eyes. I was feeling uncomfortable standing naked in front of him, but what was I supposed to do? Disobey him and get my people killed again? That was the last thing I would ever do again. I was yet to get over the fact that I was the reason someone died a few days ago, and allowing him to do another one now was the last thing I wanted, even if it meant sacrificing myself to save them."Hmm," I nodded my head, trying so hard to hold back my tears. Crying in front of him would only make me look like the weakling I'm not, so I won't ever allow myself to shed a drop of tears in his presence."She told me she wanted you to be her personal maid. What about us?" He asked the stupid question for the second time, and I found myself clenching my fingers tightly as I stared down at the ground, my blood was boiling in rage, an
Chapter 13Amelie POVThe last three days have been filled with me doing my best to swing into action, and although it has been tough for me, I tried to hang in here and finish what I started. You might be wondering what I've been doing, but I have decided to be a better person that will get the king's attention, have him wrapped around my fingers, have him obey every of my commands, and ruin everything he worked for. Yes, that is my fucking plan.I have been studying in the palace library during my free time, practicing swordsmanship secretly during my free time, and also working on my dress sense to seduce the King. I don't mind sacrificing all of myself, but saving my people have been prioritized over everything else that matters in my life, then came making him pay for his crimes. Of course, I won't be so daft to let him off just like that, right?It was a beautiful morning, and I just finished my morning chores and finally had some time to rest. After I freshened up in my room, I
Chapter 14Amelie POVMy heart wrenched painfully as I stared at my reflection in the mirror. The stylist was getting me ready for the so-called party. I was yet about to go to a party with my sworn enemy, but what could I possibly do about it when I didn't even have the power to do anything? There was absolutely nothing I could do about it."We are done," The stylist announced once she was done with the makeup, and I went into the dressing room where I changed into the dress he sent to me earlier, and trust me, I was wowed at the way I looked so gorgeous. The last time I looked so beautiful was when my parents were still alive and I was still living with them."The King is waiting for you," Hearing the guard's voice from outside once I stepped into the room, I clenched my fingers tightly and bit my bottom lip, trying to force back the tears that threatened to escape my eyes. Wouldn't my parents be turning in their graves now? Wouldn't they be mad at me that the girl they left behind
Chapter 15Amelie POVAfter the party, King Marcus decided to hang out with his friends which included Seb and other kings from other kingdoms. Each king was with their wife, and I was with Sebastian too. I know he wouldn't bring me to such a place for nothing, so I needed nobody to tell me that I was going to be humiliated as always, and I was already preparing myself mentally for it."Do you want my slave to pour wine for us?" Sebastian suddenly said when the maids were asked to come to pour them drink. He placed his hand on my thigh and slid it beneath my dress, his hand crawling up my body while he maintained eye contact with me. They were all aware of what he was doing to me, they knew he was humiliating me, and the look on their faces showed how much they were enjoying what he was doing."Sure, why not," King Noah, one of the kings said affirmatively as he glanced at me."You should pour them some drink and come back, slave," King Sebastian turned to me and said, and that was al
Chapter 16Amelie POV"You said you wanted to kill me, right?" He scoffed and smirked at me as he stood up to his feet, and I took a step back as waves of fear surged through me. My heart stopped working for seconds as many thoughts flooded my mind. Was he going to kill me here? I asked myself."Now is your chance. Take the dagger and stab me, Amelie. You can make your dream come true here. Nobody will blame you here. You can just tell the people that I was attacked by the armies of Demacia. Don't you think?" A wide grin laced up his lips as he took slow and steady steps toward me, while I stepped back fearfully until my back was pressed hard against the wall, and my heart beat rapidly against my chest.He stopped right in front of me, then held my hand and placed the dagger in my palm."Do as you wish now. I can assure you that nobody will blame you for it. I will tell you how to escape from here after you stab me. You can blame the armies of Demacia for my death," He uttered, but my
Chapter 17Amelie POVAs I lay down beside him on the bed and watched him sleep peacefully, I couldn't help but wonder if he has a conscience. If he has one, he wouldn't be sleeping peacefully after everything he has done."You aren't the first he was going to do that to, Amelie. He has been doing it for long," My subconscious mind reminded me, but then, I never deserved it. He treated us unfairly because we never did anything wrong to have made him do that. Maybe he was just being a psychopath, but why did it have to be my family? Those were the questions I kept asking myself, but I could only provide one answer to them, life itself is unfair sometimes.Just as he said, killing him here would be easy and nobody will suspect me for it, but will that save me and my people forever? That will only jeopardize our lives especially if I don't make it out of here safely."Just be calm, Amelie. You are going to get your revenge. Just wait a little longer," I assured myself before I turned to
Chapter 18 Amelie POV The ride back to the palace took hours before we arrived, and I headed to my room afterward. As I stood in front of the mirror and stared at my reflection, I felt utterly disgusted and helpless. It felt like I was already losing myself slowly, but I had to keep fighting if I should get out of this mess. The sound of the knock on my door pulled my attention, and I sighed briefly before I turned to get the door, but my heart almost jumped out of my chest at the sight that welcomed me. It was Madam Lisa, the scariest person after the king in the palace. Just as always, her face was icy as she glared at me with resentment, but what I did to deserve that from her was what I couldn't wrap my head around. "Uhm..." "Go and wash the dishes in the kitchen. Fast! And prepare the king's meal," She said to me, and my heart dropped. I just came back from a long journey, and my body was sour. The last thing I needed now was to get plenty of rest, and here she was, orderin

Chapter 10Amelie POVThe rest of the day was just me in my room, crying my eyes out, but what makes me extremely happy is that King Sebastian didn't send for me to come warm his bed as usual. Guess it's because he has someone doing it now. Well, I feel pity for whoever that woman is.The knocking sound on the door pulls my attention, and I advance toward it, pulling it open afterward. It's one of the maids in the palace and seeing her here, I need not be told that my attention is needed by the king."Lady Ariel demands to see you," The maid says while giving me a disgusting look, not that I care about the way she looks at me, anyway. Why the hell should I care?"Lady Ariel?" I ask cluelessly. It's literally my first time hearing that name, and I have no idea who the person is. "She's waiting for you in the king's chamber," She says to me before she walks away, and I sigh briefly. At least, she's nice enough to tell me where the person is.I sigh briefly as I walk out of my room, and
