" You mean people from the court are involved in this mess? If what you said is true, then they don't want you in the position of the king, that's why they are trying to eliminate you by ruining your reputation in the public first ", Amelia concluded based on his words.Knowing about palace affairs was no big deal for her since she had been in the library ever since she was a child, books were her friends, and sometimes enemies too. Damian impressed her with their logical thinking and how she understood everything without him saying a word extra. " How can the ministers be satisfied with me when I am their enemy? All of them voted for Prince Ezra to become the new King, but his majesty and Queen took me out in the light. Even though I was able to eliminate all the people who were corrupted, there's a new army now which has been built among the honest ministers. Evil is like a rotten apple, if one is rotten, it spreads to all nice apples. I just want my empire to stay in healthy and
After being determined, the three of them went to the same forest where they were caught last night and started looking for Amelia everywhere. They traced the watermarks, followed by the wet mud but when they finally arrived at the end, there was nothing there, just so many dead people who were obviously from yesterday when the right broke out. " You go look over there, I will look in that direction ", Said Faiz as she hurried to the other side. So many people were dead like it was a sea shore and those people were like dead fishes on the shore after a tsunami or thunderstorm.Faiz flipped all the dead people over and over, looking for Amelia. Ashley and Jack searched the whole place but could no trace of Amelia.All of them gather back with the disappointed look on their face, they were ready to be disappointed but deep down they still wished for Amelia to be here. " She is not here, maybe she left somewhere else, we should search the whole area at this point. I think she is injure
The maids responsible for serving dinner to his majesty all gathered in the kitchen, all of them had bright sunny expressions on their faces, resembling the happy bees as they all gathered and talked about His Majesty and the lady with him in the dining room. " What do you all think? "." The lady is beautiful, and seems to have a good manner. Perfect lady for a mansion "." But...does our majesty like her? ", When the innocent little maid asked that question, she faced everyone's scary features. " Girl, you are still a child. We are experienced in love matters, so we know for sure that our majesty likes that woman. Plus, they held hands, smiled at each other, and gave each other loving glances. If it's not like love, what is it? "." Instead of talking about them, we should serve them good immediately. His Majesty has been lenient to our carelessness for all these days, we shouldn't provoke him. We can gossip later, serving delicious food comes first ", Said another maid. Everyone
The maids have already assumed in their mind that she was from the Wizard community, plus they were supper happy and positive with her being that, seeing their happiness, she felt no need to correct them. Like, telling them would be a mistake, and the happiness on their face might disappear. Amelia let them think whatever they want and sat there calmly in the lukewarm water. The maid seemed to cherish her body way more than her, they were like having fun while serving her, not wanting anything in return. After they were done bathing her, two maids went outside and brought a silly, soft, and thick towel. " Lady, please come out. You might catch a cold if you stay inside for too long ", Said one of them softly.Amelia took the suggestion and headed outside the bathtub. At first, she was hesitant, after all, she was naked and it would be damn too embarrassing to present herself in that state. But a later on she gave up on that idea and came out. The moment she stepped outside the bat
Rosalina gave her brother a weird look when he said not to fall for Faiz, but when she realized he categorizes as a woman, she looked at him all stunned and speechless. " Did you just say she is a he is a woman and not a man? How is that possible? She looks perfectly like a man ", Rosalina spoke in a loud time but then covered her mouth immediately when everyone started staring at her. She looked at her brother and was all stunned. " She looks so handsome, how can you say she isn't a man? She stood there still on the ground in shock. Damian flicked her forehead once again. " She is built that way, can't say anything ".Now knowing Faiz was a woman, Risalina was even more strong in her feelings. " Brother, she looks hella fine, perfect partner for any man or woman, keep your woman safe ", Rosalian teased and then went ahead to join them all. Damian facepalmed because he knew what she mean. Faiz was capable of snatching any woman. After they all spent some with each other, it was t
Amelia followed the lead and opened a secret room, the moment the wall slid away, the room which was dark a moment ago filled with light, became brighter. Amelia didn't even have to walk in, because the moment her eyes fell inside, her body and nervous system gave up on her, resulting in a hard fall onto the ground. Her heart beating fast as her eyes on the ceiling, " What's that? Who's that? ", Amelia uttered in fear. The fall earlier was quite hard and loud, everyone who heard the sound of falling came running to her. " Ame! You okay? How did you fall? ", Damian hurried to her as he lifted her from the ground.He was talking to her but she wasn't able to hear, her eyes were fixed on a certain place, couldn't move at all, her body froze in that condition. What was she looking at?Damian wondered and followed her gaze, and the moment his eyes laid on the same scene as Amelia, his body monetary froze. A woman floating in midair, hung to a thick chain, with no life in her, worms ea
When the physician did a thorough check on her, he found nothing strange but declared that she was having a normal fever and would get better in no time. Damian stayed by her side until her fever was reduced to the normal body temperature. He was the king and anything related to him was of course known to the world no matter how secretive he would act. The news about him staying inside a woman's room circulated in the whole empire in no time, but the culprit behind all this was not found. Amelia was a beta, and it was no secret, everyone could see it since she was unable to transform. Her being a beta was a piece of good news for everyone. So much happened in the last four hours but no one inside the palace was affected or informed about all this. Amelia finally woke up four hours later, and the first thing she saw upon opening her eyes was Damian, sitting by her side as his hand rested on her forehead and his eyes close for a quick nap. Amelia slid his hand away as she placed i
Amelia intentionally tripped over, giving them a chance to grab the hold of her. Ane they did what she had thought in mind. When she was about to fall to the ground, all of them extended their helping hands, helped her stand well, and even that off her dress for her. " Are you okay? ", Asked one of them. Amelia smiled coyly as she nodded her head. " I am fine, thank you for helping me ". Amelia hid her real emotions and feeling and cast the fake mask on her face as she lifted her face to look at them. All of them felt attracted to her the moment she lifted her head, they never thought Lycan Empire had such a gorgeous beauty, how can someone as radiant as here never appear before their sight? " Are you new here? Whose daughter are you? Or maybe you are Princess's friend ", Those middle age men pulled out all the possible possibilities before her, hoping for at least one to be true. " I am the maid of the main palace, was here for a task and that it is done, I have to go back ", S
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
