~King Edwin~ Before the time to execute Jonathan, I went into Agatha’s room to see how she was faring. As soon as I got in, everyone that was in there with her, consoling her, headed out, leaving only both of us. Looking at her face, she seemed to have calmed down compared to this morning at the funeral. “How are you?” I put on a faint smile, walking to the couch she sat on. “What do you think, Your Majesty?” She sniffed, causing me to let out a loud sigh. I sat next to her and let her rest her head on my chest. “Losing the baby wasn’t supposed to happen if you hadn’t heard about what happened to Randall and Daciana. But, there’s a good chance that we can try again, and this time, we’ll get it right and our child will be alive.” “I know we can try again, but I hate that I had to lose our first child with you. That was our first child!” “I know, and it wasn’t your fault. None of this is our fault. I have lost Randall, and all I can do right now is give birth to an heir to take h
~Daciana~ I thought seeing Jonathan die would give me a little comfort, but I was wrong. I hated that I wasn’t the one holding the sword. His being dead doesn’t change the fact that Randall wasn’t with me anymore. ‘Maybe killing Riley will make me finally grieve him the way I want to.’ I thought, scrolling through the phone I found in Randall’s pocket again. Carl was working on finding Riley. I have found out the truth about King Edwin killing Doctor Donald and Anne. What about the third person? I need to talk to him. Throwing the phone in my pocket, I headed out of my room again and made my way to King Edwin’s room. On my way, I saw some maids and some guards, gathered in twos and fours, whispering things to themselves. ‘That is strange.’ I thought as I walked past them. I wondered what they could be discussing. Getting to King Edwin’s chamber, the guards stopped me. “His Majesty doesn’t want any visitors, right now.” They uttered. “I don’t care what he wants right now!
~Daciana~ While I was still trying to wrap my head around how and why Randall’s phone was still on, King Edwin summoned me. I bet he wanted to talk about his predicament which I didn’t really want to care about, given that he was the asshole I suspected him to be. However, I wanted to hear what he had to say. And maybe I would be able to stop him from killing Trump, instead of letting him stop the problem he started. Getting to the hallway that led to his chamber, I saw him heading out of his room. “Daciana, you’re here.” He uttered. “You summoned me. I didn’t have much of a choice.” I answered coldly, and he nodded. “I’m going to question Trump about this leaked information. I’d love you to come with me.” “Why?” I furrowed my brows. “Because you now know the whole truth, and it’s good to have someone like you around this time. I believe you can help me deal with this.” “What gave you that impression? Do you think I don’t hate you for what you’ve done? This is Karma getting
~Daciana~ “When were you going to tell me about Randall not being your son? Were you even going to tell me at all? You made him live a life of lies!” I smacked behind him as we walked down the hallway. “Daciana, right now I just need to find the old woman releasing this information before it gets bad! And yes, Randall is a bastard.” He responded with anger and frustration. “Don’t you dare call him a bastard! I won’t let you talk about him like that! And maybe you deserve everything happening to you!” I yelled back. But he ignored me and continued walking to his room. I shook my head in disbelief as I watched him leave. ‘Randall was the Butler’s son, and his parents got killed before he could find out the truth.’ The kind of evil King Edwin was unspeakable. If my mother had known this, she would have never had anything to do with him. While I headed back to my room, I saw my mother heading towards me, with a paper in her hand. Looking at the paper, I knew the information got to
~Daciana~ “You have been staring at your phone for minutes now. Are you expecting a call or text?” Carl asked, taking a glance at me as he drove. I swallowed hard and shook my head. I waited impatiently for whoever was using Randall’s phone to text back, but they didn’t. Their text never came in. The typing sign just kept coming up and disappearing like they were typing and deleting it again, contemplating whether to reply or not. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to pry. It’s just that you haven’t said anything since I started driving, and every time you look at your phone, you have a worried look.” I heaved a sigh and looked at him. “You don’t have to apologize. I’m glad you’re here to help,” I answered, and a wide smile lit up his face. “Sure. I’m glad to be here too.” He responded, and I looked away and out of the window. My newly found discovery was beginning to eat me up and I wanted to share it with someone so badly. But…‘Is Carl that person?’ I thought, looking at him again. H
~Daciana~All curled up in bed, I waited for Carl to return with the wine I had asked him to buy. I wasn’t just going to forget what happened at the reception, but I could manage how I felt about it when drunk. The door opened, and I instantly sprang out of bed and approached him. I grabbed the bottle of wine from his hand before saying anything and proceeded to open it. Without saying a word, he walked to the cute cabinet next to the bed and brought out two glasses. I popped off the cork and looked at him. “I don’t think I’ll be needing that,” I mumbled before placing the glass in my mouth and gulping down an unreasonable amount of wine all at once. “Honestly, you need to go slow, okay? I know I can never understand how you’re feeling right now, but I know you drowning in that wine isn’t a good idea.” He uttered, and I scoffed, moving back to my bed. “Tell me why it isn’t a good idea,” I muttered, and he sat on his bed too, which was next to mine. “Because you need to be well
Content Warning! This chapter might make you feel uncomfortable. Content may not be suitable for sensitive readers. ~Daciana~ With knives soaked in vervain, we stood next to them in the elevator. I held Riley’s father by the arm, while the knife was against his body, ready to penetrate if Riley did anything stupid. Riley kept looking at me and the knife against his father’s body. “Don’t worry, if you don’t do anything stupid, your father won’t be harmed. At least, not the second time,” I murmured, waiting for the elevator to open. As soon as it opened, we all wore a big fake smile and walked out, fake-chatting like we were best of friends. I didn’t let this distract me and I kept the knife next to his body, ready to strike at the slightest chance.Fortunately for both of them, no one noticed anything unusual and we got to the parking lot without raising any suspicions. As soon as we made them enter the car, Carl immediately sprayed the back with vervain again, and soon, they bot
~Daciana~ Waiting for them to gain consciousness was the hardest thing ever. The silence and anticipation were killing me, but finally, they were both back to their senses. I stood up and Carl followed suit. I stood in front of Riley, firmly holding the knife in my hand. “You found me. I must say I underestimated you.” I mumbled, and all I could do was stare at his smashed-up face. “What is going on?” Riley’s father asked, and I looked back at him. I furrowed my brows when I saw the confusion on his face, and when I turned to look at Riley, I saw a hint of fear. “My father has nothing to do with this. Let him go.” He uttered, faintly struggling with the chains that tied him down. “He doesn’t know what you did?” I asked in shock, and he gulped hard. “It is none of his business. Let him go. If you want to deal with me, do it with me alone.” “And why should I do that? You made me watch when you killed Randall!” I smacked, grabbing onto the arms of his chair. “Randall? You killed
