Amelia suddenly mentioned the emerald stone necklace. Faiz stoke the stone in the pendant gently before that soft smile appeared on her face. Turned out there was a deep story behind this pendant. " When my mom was in her teenage years, she saved the princess of a neighboring country while on the search for a special medicinal flower. That princess hand out this necklace to my mother as thanks. After my mom birth to me, she gifted me this necklace to me. Wishing me to lead a good life ", Said Faiz while her eyes shined brightly. Amelia tilted her head to the side, she was confused. " Sweetie, this pendant helped me conceal my identity as King's mate, how can this lead you to a good life...", She was unable the understand why it was a blessing ". To her surprise, Faiz started chuckling, even jabbing Amelia's nose with her index finger gently. " Silly! My parents wanted me to avoid marrying someone at a young age, they didn't want me to fall for someone at a young age and or let some
Amelia had a wish in the last when she was in the village, that was to attend a ball with someone and do a partner dance. But she wasn't allowed to even enter the field on the festival days. And how could she go to the ball when her whole day was spent in the kitchen, on such days she was asked to cook, wash dishes or either just stay in her room and not go out. It was then that she would sneak out, be directed to the storage room of the village, and steal wine from there to celebrate the festival and happiness. Those days were surely painful and full of sorrow, but happiness was still there because she enjoyed her own company, she wasn't that lonely. Damian couldn't help but get drawn to her deep eyes which were full of mystery. He had no idea that there was someone in the world who shared the worst fate than him from birth. He thought it was painful to not have your parents with you, but seeing Amelia denying even having any parent and calling herself an orphan, was an eye-open
As expected from Arsha, she was still the same, no change had occurred in her behavior or character. Just like before, she was still manipulating the innocent and luring them into her seductive trap. Amelia couldn't help but feel like throwing sarcasm at her, lightening some of her burdens. But it was as always... just wishful thinking. Amelia took her to leave there and headed towards the carriage owned by the wood family. " You aren't thinking of damaging the carriage, are you? ", Faiz couldn't be more surprised or shocked. Just after seeing Amelia walking in a circle around the carriage and examining some important factors, she knew something was going on in her mind. And as expected, she was right, Amelia surely was thinking of damaging the carriage. " Give me your dagger ", Amelia asked for the dagger once she saw the screws fit into the center of the wheel to its support. Faiz wasn't upset, it was rather interesting and thriller. She immediately took out the dagger from h
It took them five hours to reach the nearest village. After they reached the village, the first thing Amelia did was approach the pharmacy and buy the necessary medicines and ointments along with the bandage. Faiz was still in the illusion that everything Amelia bought was for herself and didn't doubt a single thing. It was only after they returned to the carriage that Amelia told her to take off her shirt. " Sweetie, take off your shirt please ", Said Amelia with that evil grin on her lips.Faiz was confused and clueless, in defense she even put her hands in a cross shape around her chest. " Take off my shirt? What do you want from me? ". It was hilarious that Faiz had those dirty ideas in her mind, thinking unholy about the whole situation. Amelia was speechless, a moment of silence for what this girl was thinking. Amelia suddenly started waving aggressively waving her hands..what are you thinking? ", She jabbed Faiz's forehead. "Your hands...you got hurt yesterday, I just want
After giving a short rest at the village, the journey continued. And finally, after a week, they arrived at her village, the one where Faiz's people were. Traveling for days, everything was hectic, no proper schedule for the rest, no food on time, and everything was a mess. But after they arrived in the village, that hectic feeling left them alone. Amelia breathe in the fresh air, looking around as everything looked calm and at peace. " Where's your pack? ", Amelia asked excitedly. It was so isolated all these days, only she and Faiz were there, and now she was excited to see people, it was great to be alive. Faiz glanced at her and then pointed at the narrow alley just before them, it was dark, and there was no sunlight. Amelia was a little stunned. " You mean there? ", Amelia asked to confirm as the place she was pointing at looked creepy for some reason. Faiz just gave an evil smile and then pushed her forward. " The path may look narrow and dark, but believe me, once you s
Amelia could do nothing in this situation other than be by her side and listen to her complaints. This was the most emotional and painful moment of Faiz's life, she broke completely. And how can she not when not even a single person from her pack escaped the crisis? This thing hit her hard than anything, seeing everyone dead was never an option, yet they were here...all laid back unconscious with no soul wandering anywhere. " I thought...I thought this time when I return, I will make sure to stay with them for the longest, make their food they have never tried before, let them feel what it is to travel around ", Her eyes only looking at the corpus, staring at them blankly as all emotions gathered in her heart, she bit her lower lip in agony. There was so much to be done, so much to accomplish, a good life she imagined for them was now a dream only because they were nowhere. Amelia gazed at everyone around, the alley which was supposed to be lively was now turned into cold prison w
True enough that she would blame herself for not being there on time. But things that have to happen will happen eventually. Even if she was been here, nothing would have changed, there's something called fate that makes everything complicated. They were in a world where nothing was predictable, everything goes unexpected and becomes unpredictable. Faiz was sad, it's one thing, but constantly blaming herself for something which had no relation to her directly or indirectly, was wrong. " They were your family, always put your first before anything. If you keep blaming yourself, you are only going to degrade their love and affection for you ", Said Amelia in a serious tone. Amelia has seen how kind and selfless Faiz was during the time they spent together, but she never expected Faiz to blame herself and put all the burden on herself, it was out of her character. If it was to be the real Faiz, she would be unfazed and would never take any kind of blame on herself. But the one right
Amelia has enough consciousness to say that Faiz won't want anything bad for her, she is a good-hearted person and would only want good things to happen to her.And that was enough for her." I am okay with whatever you want to do with me. I also want to become a wolf, but I can't due to some circumstances, I really wanna get rid of this miserable state ", Said Amelia in a sad voice. It's been twenty years since here to step foot in this darn world. And unlike others who got to live a normal life, she got the misery from the very start, she wanted to get rid of it, but couldn't because no matter what she would do, it never succeeded. So in the end, she just accepted her fate. " Do you know Faiz, there's a myth in my village. If you worship an Elf, feed her well and that her extremely nice, you will get a fortune for a lifetime ", Said Amelia.Right now, she wanted to talk about something lively and cheerful, not something depressing and cloudy. Even though they were stuck in the for
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
