Amelia finally decided to drop all the prejudice she had towards her feelings and the consequences she had overthink about. Right now, she only wants to see Damian, confess to him, and end this matter. Doesn't matter if he will accept or reject her, she must say what she feels about him. As a result, she won't think about it and kill herself by overthinking. " When I had time, I was finding ways to run away from him. Now that I am far away from him, I can't help but think of the old good days. Life is seriously unpredictable, taking turns and twists at every moment, I can't handle this much intensity ", Amelia couldn't help but at herself for being a fool. " Hey! Don't be so disheartened. Who told you we have no way to reach him? You see, that guy over there, our exclusive and premium ticket to reach him ", Said Faiz showing Amelia the hottest guy standing over there with Jack, and Ashley, their ticket to the palace. " You are right, how come I didn't think about it? That guy is
" Faiz, I am not telling you to forget them. But tormenting yourself to make it look like you are doing for them is wrong. Your pain is big, I won't even be able to understand even if I want to, but I can't see you torturing yourself. Once we find out the culprit behind your pack's massacre, you will start your life anew. And I am not asking you, I am telling you to. We will work on your pain and wounds together ", Amelia acted strict here while scolding Faiz.Yes, Faiz didn't overdo anything, but Amelia still could see how she wasn't her real self and acting all strange these days. Losing all your loved ones creates friction in a heart that's not easy to fix, but one must try to get out of it, and not let it overgrow on oneself. Faiz had her head down, her eyes full of water. Instead of showing her vulnerable sight to Amelia, she preferred dunking her head inside the water to hide her crying expression. Faiz soaked her whole body inside the river, the only visible thing was her hai
Jack slowly leaned in after getting the permission to touch, the distance between them lessen in no time, and before anything could cross their mind, Jack's hand was already on Ashley's firm chest, feeling the sturdiness of his chest. At this moment, it felt different, too strange. Ashley never felt this sudden nervousness in his behavior or heart before. Jack made eye contact the exact moment his hand landed on his chest. " I have to say, a Royal knight sure has a great body, you must train a lot ". When Ashley heard Jack address him as Knight, he couldn't help but sigh. " You are dead wrong, I haven't reached the position where I can introduce myself as a Knight. I am a bodyguard, his majesty's bodyguard, no less no more ".Jack felt like he touched the wrong nasal, and immediately apologized. " Forgive me for being too talkative. Sorry if I offend you "." Have you touched enough? ", Ashley asked when he felt saw and saw Jack venturing his hand all around his chest and abdomen.
The carriage suddenly stopped, it was strange since the henchman previously told it to not stop anywhere along the way. It stopped by a sudden bump ane alerted all four in the carriage. Amelia was awakened from sleep due to the noise loud, she looked straight outside the window after pulling back the curtains. " Why did we suddenly stop? ", All of them questioned, nothing was visible outside the window even though all of them had night vision. It was pretty strange for the carriage to stop somewhere without a warning, the henchman said nothing when questioned. All of them had no choice but to exit the carriage and see what problem they ran into. Amelia was no longer groggy as her sleep mode got turned off by the sudden incident. Yeah, it wasn't an incident, but something about this place screams danger. When Ashley walked to the front, he was the henchman unconscious on the ground, as if he fell, someone causing this to him. " Guys, what do you think happened? ", Ashley wanted a
" I sent them a signal, but they haven't responded yet. I fear they are unable to receive the message ", Said Ashley. " Same goes for me. My men haven't responded. Seems like we can only depend on ourselves now ", Jack responded. Fighting some men was no issue for them. But the main problem arise when enemies started appearing one after another as if they had trained specially for such events. They kept on appearing one after another. Like, one getting beaten or dead, another appears to take his position. Faiz, Jack, and Ashley were fighting for a long now that they weren't getting time to breathe and the atmosphere became too stuffy and bloody. If one was to walk into this place, they would be showered in blood, their whole body would be covered in this bloody fluid, it was sticky on the ground and the blood smell filled the atmosphere and its air. It was clear that enforcement wouldn't be arriving any soon or any later, they were on their own now, with no expectations to be fo
The moment Damian heard about taking in a wife, the expression in his eyes changed completely. His not froze for a moment and was only able to recover a moment after, he turned around to face her. " Son, the position of the queen is empty. If it stays empty for long, people would feel insecure, they might not start losing their trust in the emperor. In times like this, when chaos is taking over, they need a reason to calm down and think straight. I think a queen can do that ", Eliza explained calmly and patiently. The news about the emperor cleaning all refugees had spread all around, ministers were trying to get the emperor under them, reassuring him. And trying to convince and introduce their daughter with a motive to marry them into the palace. Damian, sat there silent, there was nothing on his face. He was surely surprised earlier, but soon regained his composure and calmed himself. Whatever it was, as long as it was about his marriage, he won't listen to anyone. Damian gave h
It was only after an hour Amelia regained her conscious, a series of pain was realised apon opening her eyes, the ceiling in top of her was definitely not something she was familiar with, this took her in a different thinking world. When Damian notice a slight changed in her, he came running to her from the study table and sat beside his, his eyes expressing all the relief and happiness he was feeling right now. But Amelia was just plain confuse and dubious right now. " Are you feeling okay? ", Damian asked as his hand moved to caress her soft cheeks which were slightly red right now due to energy leakage. Amelia was awake fully, but this scene couldn't make her any sober, she was doubting and suspicious. " The henchmen said before starting the journey that they would be taking the path that's infamous for making people hallucinate, so am I hallucinating right now? His majesty, his part of of my imagination? He has to he I guess, because I kept on thinking about him ", Amelia touc
" I was pretty scared and a coward. I didn't want to get rejected. Plus, I was under impression that even if we got together, there would be no future for us, so I backed off, and hide my feelings ", Said Amelia with no confidence in her voice, at that time she was just being selfish and thinking about what others would think about her. It wasn't just then that she was scared, but even now, she couldn't tell if it was real. Damian's love confession, telling her he has her in his heart, being so nice to her, all of this feels unreal and dreamy. Damian held her face in his hands gently like he was treating a baby and told her to look into his eyes only, " You were scared, just like me, so I can understand. We should let the past be passed now, there's no need to get scared or anxious. By the way, what's our relationship now? ", He asked curiously, biting his lips in nervousness and gulping down slowly as his eyes followed her lips, really wanting an answer from her. Amelia shy away a
The room was decorated with luxurious materials. Even the king himself looked extremely pleasing to the eyes as if he were dressed for her.Arsha was surely merry from inside, and on cloud nine, who wouldn't when the King himself was giving them so much attention and having an interest?But when he asked her if she was afraid of him or not, she denied it and walked to him respectfully and politely.Both of them took a seat near the glass table. There was a wine bottle placed on a fancy tray on the table near them. Damian signaled for her to pick up the wine glass and start serving him.Arsha had no idea what conversation happened between him and Amelia, so about their plan, there rang no bell in her mind. And without a single line of doubt, she started pouring wine into the cup, one for him and one for her.“Your majesty, please.” Arsha held the glass in her hand as she leaned forward toward him with a seductive look on her face.There was no doubt Arsha was doing her best to seduce h
The moment those words escaped her mouth, a long and dreadful silence took over the atmosphere. Of course, everyone liked how courageous she was.But right now, she was their love rival. She likes his majesty, and all of them do too, so it was normal for all of them to become insecure about her presence there.Arsha was speechless and fuming red. Out of nowhere, her hands extended to grab a hold of Amelia and then started dragging her away.Everyone went into stunned moments when they saw Amelia being dragged away by Arsha.“Where are you taking me?” Amelia asked in a cold and serious tone.“Why are you here? Just when I thought I didn't have to see your jinx face again, you appeared right before me. Aren't you too shameless? I have lost my parents already. I don't have anyone who loves me. Now, when I want to achieve something, you are here again. Just leave me alone, can't you? I don't want to see your face,” Arsha said, sounding frustrated and angry.Well, she was angry and anxious.
All of them went into a confused state, seeing how she and the man beside her were laughing out loud as if someone had told a joke.“Ha! It looks like you have gone crazy after not getting a man on your bed. You should leave and be in filth forever. Stop making fun of yourself and get the hell out of here,” said Arsha in fury.But the moment those words escaped her house, a light flashed through her eyes, and the next moment there was a sword hanging around her neck, too close that a small movement, and she would get herself cut.Everyone was terrified, seeing how the man beside Amelia reacted so quickly and was now holding a sword against Arsha.“What are you doing? Get away from me. I said Get away,” Arsha's voice trembled with fear, but her ego was bigger than a mountain. “If you don't let go, His Majesty will not spare you,” she had the guts to threaten Ashley.Amelia chuckled, and Ashley remained serious. The blade that was at a safe distance now closed the range and drew out a sm
He was not upset with her, but rather happy that she chose to trust him and hide nothing, which came across right away.“You... you are not upset that I lied?” Asked Amelia looking at him with an innocent look and confusion. She lied to him, of course. How can he be so calm in a situation like this?“Didn't you just say you had no intention to lie or hide the truth from others, but you did it to protect yourself? And there's nothing wrong there. A lie that won't hurt others isn't a lie. When I confessed to you, I had already prepared myself to be by your side. No one can separate us. I will trust you unconditionally.” Said Damian, moving closer as he put his soft, lumpy lip on her flat, bony, surface-like forehead.Amelia was extremely lucky to have him as her lover. The moment his lips touched her forehead, she closed her eyes to devour all the feelings and affection.“What would you do next after these young ladies arrive at the palace? You will surely need solid reasons to reject th
Inside the court, there was a debate going on and a silent war between the ministers. Even though Damian had already announced Amelia as his soon-to-be wife and the queen of the empire, half of the ministers were not ready to understand.And how can they accept the Emperor's wishful decision? Amelia was of an unknown origin; no one had any idea about her background or what her family used to be. If anything, they only know that she was a beta, and a beta cannot be a mate to an alpha who's already destined for someone.They cannot accept a person who's not even aware of her background and comes from an uneducated place. A queen of the empire should be smart, elegant, and capable of making big decisions. Ready to bear the responsibility, always there to support his majesty, and always ready to protect him by the side.And they could not see any of these qualities in Amelia so far.“Your Majesty, we have no intention to oppose you, but it's about Empire. If you just casually marry any wom
When she burst into a laugh, everyone around her started getting chills.“Why is she laughing like a witch?” Jack whispered in Ashley's ears.They were all bewildered. Amelia was torturing them. But instead of agony or regret, she was laughing like a maniac, it wasn't like her.“Let God take its course. That's some serious bullshit here. I might not have my sister back, but this can at least make her soul feel relieved. If she is wondering somewhere in this world, this revenge can make her live in peace. Forgiveness is for those who feel guilty and want to become the best of themselves, not for those who feel nothing but hatred in their hearts,” Amelia spoke to her nice self.She won't give those who don't deserve it a second chance.After speaking those words, she continues to slash her knife at their bodies, giving them a lot of pain and agony.“Faiz, bring the salt,” Amelia said in a serious tone as she turned around.Faiz walked away and immediately brought the salt sack; she put i
“What's the hurry? Let's be patient. We have a fantastic place to show you all. Wanna come with us?” Faiz extended her hand in front of the man, who wanted to leave in a hurry.She smirked and stopped him; it wasn't a rude gesture, just a friendly reminder from her.“What good place? Now that we are out, who sent you here? I mean, the person behind it all.” One of the ministers asked.It was weird that someone just barged into the prison to save them without any connection to them. Like, who in hell would risk their lives to save the rapists?Having these three guys here means there must be someone behind them who wants to save them or has a motive behind saving them. What could be the reason?“You are right. We are here on the orders of someone. They asked us to bring you all, and now they want to see you. You have no choice but to accept. And if you refuse, then we can do nothing but drag you all alive or dead. The choice is yours,” said Ashley. His voice felt cold to the ears.When
It was already strange that Arsha had given up on the opportunity to enter the palace. She was so easily convinced by his father about not looking for ways to enter the palace. But the next day she disappeared. " What's so strange about it? She wants to worship God and went to visit the temple with all her heart. She has a pure heart and always thinks about others before herself. If you are worried about her, look for her. Buy don't sling mud on her for no reason ", His father was angry at him for always talking shit about Arsha. Alain snickered as he burst into a crazy laugh that was disrespectful and full of mockery. " Dad, that girl is making a fool of you. Not just you but she is playing with everyone's feelings here. On what basis do you think she is a good child? Have you ever realized it, the crack between you Amelia...it started growing after you adopted Arsha? I admit, your relationship with Amelia has never been good from the very start. But after Arsha entered this famil
They were in front of many people right now who had a large influence on the empire, they were the people Damian trusted the most at the same time the ones Damian was conscious of.He was always on Amelia's side, his anger was boiling right now as his eyes hardly could contain the rage.But he couldn't show his anger and could only suppress it. After all, everyone was watching him, there was no way he could do things on his own in such a situation. He could only rely on the pieces of evidence and the witnesses. And Amelia was fulfilling all those terms he needs to punish those violators. Amelia fell on the knees before him as she down her head on the ground. " Your majesty, It's not about me only. They didn't just violate my body, but insulted us women, and tried to snatch away our pride. You can't bring just justice ", Amelia begged. In their defense, those criminals also started blabbering and spewing nonsense. Those ministers....they held prejudice against women who dares to brin
