ANITA
What punishment does he deserve according to the law? I asked.
"Banishment." An elder replied.
That means he would be made a rogue. I didn't want that, I wanted him to remain with me.
Allowing him to be free to marry Nancy wasn't going to happen.
He must remain with me throughout the days of his life.
His eyes flashed to mine but I ignored him.
"Is there another punishment?" I asked.
"He would be in the palace but relinquish all his right." Another elder said.
"Why don't we conduct more investigation, your highness?" Conan suggested.
What? Everyone turned to look at him
"I know that this is a sensitive issue but we need to be careful before passing judgment." He continued.
"What other evidence do you seek?" Elder Samuel asked.
"We
AUTHOR"No one." She replied.Vaughn had taken over completely.She heard her right arms bent awkwardly, the bone was out of its sockets.Sylvia screamed in pain but the room had been sound proofed by Vaughn.No one could hear Sylvia screaming.She fell on the floor and crawled to the door pleading with tears running down her face. She looked really pathetic.Vaughn walked stealthily towards her. She must have seen the murderous intent in Amara eyes. Sh knew that something had posessed Amara again."I was on my own, when she approached me to set him up." She confessed."Was it Anita?" Vaughn asked, daring her to deny it."No." Vaughn's brows rose. "Then who was it?" She asked.She was in the mood to play with this girl. She didn't want to kill her.Her main target was Anita.Sylvia was just a pawn in Anita's hands. She wanted to please Anita at all cost. She wasn't really am evil person.She dislocated her second hand again.Sylvia screamed in much agony"I think I got my answer." "
AUTHORHe drove round the pack today, doing some deliveries, with his mind preoccupied on many things. When he arrived later, he heard that Conan had come looking for him.He didn't bother to seek Conan when he was ready he'll come looking for him.After a while when he returned, Conan arrived at his quarters.His face was unwelcoming and harsh. "I came to see you earlier." Conan said as he saw Rocky." To what do we owe this visit from royalty?" He asked, sarcastically bowing in the process.Conan rolled his eyes, they were not friends. They had never been and would never be. So his question was justified.Well he also didn't care much about Rocky. In his opinion he was pompous, more over, Rocky was about to steal how woman."It wouldn't be a surprising thing to visit my cousin." He said blithely, as he observed his surrounding.Weighty matters were not to be talked about carelessly. "That's a pleasure for his highness to remember us." Rocky replied sassily.After perusing that the
AUTHOR He smiled inwardly at his observation. Deep down, Anita was jealous because she knew that Nolan never liked her.He removed her hands from his chest. It was irritating to his person. She was angry at that action." You have no reason to be furious, Anita, I will still divorce you." I promised her, watching in satisfaction as she got more angrier.She looked as if she wanted to kill me but she couldn't. The law didn't give her the right to do so. Especially to the Baron."I know your plans, and I assure you that they won't work." I told her. If it were possible for her face to get redder than it already was, it would.She wasn't able to regain composure. That made him smile. " So you want to run away with Nancy?" She asked unable to stop herself."What do you think?" He asked. "I know that you wouldn't want to dare me." She said."What more can you do?" He mocked. She could no longer intimidate him. That era had passed.He knew that she'd set Nancy up or try to kill her."Ani
NANCYI was shocked at the question. I wasn't expecting it at all. The look in her eyes shows that she wasn't going to be fooled by anything I said." I didn't do anything." I replied bowing my head. It was the custom. I willed my heart to stop beating fast.It just didn't seem right that she was asking after Sylvia. I knew she didn't care about her. She was only looking for an excuse to pick on me." Girl, don't test me." She warned. I looked at her and looked down.Well, you can't do nothing. You have no evidence that I did it.After that thought, I became calm. A wave of serenity washed through me. She must have seen the switch in my stance.I watched as she rose and walked away towards me. She circlede but I remained in my position."I don't know what you're doing, but I'll soon catch you." She threatened, snarling in the
AUTHORThey looked at each other and Amara jumped down from his body, as she adjusted her dress.They looked at the door warily." Come in." Conan said.Roman came in. "Another maid says she's assigned here." He informed them wondering why Amara had been in there for long if it were only a drink she wanted to serve.Conan was tying a towel and Amara looked away. She looked guilty. Wasn't he betrothed to Diana?"Tell her to go back, I changed the roster.." Conan instructed.Roman didn't believe the bull. But, he nodded anyway, taking a second look at Amara before leaving the room.Amara felt weird. After coming down from the high of the kiss. She saw the disbelief in Roman's eyes. He thought she betrayed Diana."What do we do now?" She asked Conan.Conan was surprised, he didn't care what the guard th
CONANFor two weeks, things had been going on well between Amara and I. I had just concluded a meeting, with Nolan. I sneaked to see him, disguising as a guard.Diana intercepted me on my way to my room. The witch knew I paid her no mind at all.She must have been waiting for long.Ever since that stunt she pulled the other day, I didn't want anything to do with her." Good evening, Conan." She greeted." What do you have to say?" I asked." That's quite harsh to say to your betrothed." She said." Wow, that's such a shame." I replied." I know you've been going to see Amara." She said.That made me stiffen a little. I called her bluff." I find it hard to believe that you've not reported me to the Baroness. How generous of you." I said. That's what she was known for." That's because I want to make a proposition." She said. " Let's hear it." I said." I need you to marry me in paper and have Amara as your concubine." She said.I doubled in laughter. She was a clown. Marry her? She
AUTHORIt was after 6 months, that Nancy was finally able to sneak in to see Nolan. She was able to do that with the help of Micheal, the guard that loved Amara. He distracted the other guards, and this gave her the opportunity to enter.When she arrived at Nolan's cell, she almost wept. He had become a shadow of himself.His beards had started growing rapidly, filling his face. There was a crazy look in his eyes.She sincerely hoped her worst fear had not become a reality." How are you doing Nolan?" She asked skipping all formalities.Nolan cocked his head and stared at her." I'm great." His voice gruff from atrophy." I sent you a letter." She continued. He looked as of he wasn't seeing her.*'May he not be going senile.'* She prayed with everything she had." Yes." He said after a while. Why was he taking time to respond."So..." She trailed off. He stared at her blankly." You promised to tell me Anita's secrets." She whisper yelled, cautious of eavesdroppers." Did I?" He ask
Anita looked angry. " Where is my necklace?" She asked.Amara feigned innocence, " I don't know where it is ma'am." She answered." You cleaned the room last, how come it disappeared?" Anita asked furious at Amara's attempt at lying. That necklace was very important to her. She kept it in Conan's room, because she knew it was safer there. " Don't test me." She threatened. Meanwhile, Amara wondered why she was just looking for this necklace now.Something must be important about it, and she intended to discover it." I'm truly not a thief ma." She cried bring out the great waterworks.Anita wasn't a sucker for tears. It was a destructive weapon. Many liars employed this tactic." Take her to the dungeon." Anita ordered." I'm sorry, your highness, why don't you inspect the room again?" " Are you saying that they were lying?" Anita wondered."Please check again." Diana pleaded. " Go back and check." Anita ordered the guards, waiting for it to be a mode of distraction. She was so go
