They also stood up as we marched towards my study, "Mr. XXX, the stage is yours", I said beckoning him to speak. He cleared his throat, "I know it seems so odd and crazy that an outsider knows about your secret, and it's crazier when this outsider has refused to milk you but wants to help right?". "Yeah, tell us why you choose to help?", Nicholas interrupted him. Mr. XXX exhaled, "It all happened sixty years ago". "Sixty years ago?", Nicholas and his grandfather asked. "Yeah, sixty years ago", Mr. XXX replied. "Go on, we are listening", Nicholas said relaxing on the couch. "What I am about to tell you didn't start with me but my parents,", Mr. XXX exhaled. >> "Come on Diana, we have to leave for the party", Ding said as he cleaned the table. "I am almost done, just give me a few minutes", Diana replied from the room. "That was what you said thirty minutes ago", Ding replied in a sarcastic manner. "Be patient my love", she muttered. Ding
"I don't care Diana, and I don't want to know what happened behind the scene, I am not coming out of this room until I figure out what to do", Ding shouted. "You must be joking right? What will you tell your friends and family, who are waiting for you at the restaurant?" Diana asked. "Cook up a story, and tell them, as I said earlier, I ain't leaving here until I figure out what to do". Diana walked back to the living room, picked up her phone, and called Dean, who was Ding's best friend. "Ding won't be attending his birthday celebration, you all can start eating and drinking when you are all done, you can leave, please inform the rest", she hung up immediately not waiting to hear what Dean's had to say next. Diana crashed to her couch, looked at the ceiling, and muttered some words as tears rolled down her eyes, "Will Ding die, what's his chance of surviving, is there a way out?". She stood up and walked to his door and knocked, "I said leave, I ain't stepping out of this roo
Diana smiled at him as she urge him to drink. Ding was about to drink when he perceived a foul odor from the blood, he ignored it and gulped down everything. Immediately he dropped the cup, and he felt dizzy, "what's happening?". Diana smiled and watched her husband stagger, Ding held his head and shouted. He felt a sharp pain in his head, he tried his possible best and crawled towards Diana. "Help me, do something", Ding whispered. Diana pushed him away and walked to the room. She returned a few minutes later with a knife. She bent down and brought the knife to his eyes, "In what way will you like to die? "Who paid you to do this to me?" Ding muttered. "Does it matter? Say hi to those who have been killed also", Diana whispered and stabbed him in his heart. Ding let out a scream, Diana quickly went to get blood bags, and she poured every drop of Ding's blood into the blood bag. When she was done, she picked up her phone and dialed a number. It rang for a few minutes be
She held her mouth in awe, "Ding". "Do you know him?", Elder Joe asked looking at his wife. "Yes, I mean no, yes, yes I know him", she replied. "Who is he to you?", Master Joe asked. "Ding is my brother", she replied. "Your brother", Joe said shocked. "But you never told me that you had a brother, don't tell me you have been lying to me since", Elder Joe asked. "I wanted to tell you, but I was scared", she replied. "Scared? Scared of what?", Elder Joe asked. "Scared that you might reject me, I knew how you detest ladies who have brothers, you had this mindset that they might one day take the throne away from you", she replied. "Are you for real, is that how you view me?", Elder Joe asked. "Yes Joe, that's why I didn't bother telling you, I was afraid that you might reject me", she replied. "What else are you hiding from me? speak up now", Elder Joe, said standing up. She kept quiet bowing her head, "I see you don't want to speak right?". "I am not hiding anything from
Joe became confused, "Are you alright, I am asking that you live, and you are here offering yourself to be killed, don't you cherish your life?". "What's there to cherish when my only source of happiness is dead, go ahead kill me, end it all, end this present pain", she replied approaching Joe. "I can't Helen, the love I have for you won't allow me to do such an act", Joe replied as he came down from the bed. Joe knew killing her wasn't the right thing to do, and besides he needs her to still reign, because if she dies, automatically he might be deprived of his throne. "I ain't going to kill you Helen, you are still useful, though you hurt me so much, you won't be dying now", Joe replied and walked out of her room. He locked the door of her room from outside and instructed two guards to keep tabs on her. Helen became confused, "Why didn't he hurt me, what's going on?". She became scared, her mind flashed back to the last look she saw on Joe's face, and she knew he was up to so
He drove to his house and came down to get Diana out of the car. He carried her to the guest room and sat down on the chair, as he waited for her to speak. Somehow he felt that there was something she was trying to communicate, he would have try compelling her, but he just can't because of the ring she was putting on. "Master, I have done as you have said, Ding is dead already, it's done", Diana muttered. His eyes popped open, "Ding". He was the eldest of the Blade, now he knew who was responsible for the killing of the people the king wanted to reward. He walked out of the room and locked the door before entering his room. He brought out his phone and dialed Elder Joe line, it rang for few minutes before he picked up. "May you live long master", he said. "Go on, what do you have to say?" Elder Joe asked. "I just found the person responsible for the killing of the people you rewarded, I met her in a bar, she was trying to kill herself, luckiest I intervened on time and saved
They brought Diana out of the dungeon and took her to the Elder throne, "I don't have much time to wait, start speaking" Diana cleared her throat and started speaking,."firstly, I want to beg of you all, not to take things into your hands, if the name I am about to say sounds familiar, please remember that she is heavily pregnant. "Speak woman", Elder Joe whispered. "My master is Helen", Diana said. "What!" They all screamed. "This can't be true, she is only trying to leverage on your wife innocence", one of them said. Diana laughed, "I have evidence to show that Helen is my master". "Show us your evidence", Elder Joe said. "It's in my phone, get me my phone", Diana said with a smirk. "Here it is", the guards handed it over to her. Diana collected her phone and played a voice clip, between her and Helen. She also showed them a video, of Helen and her. Elder Joe got angry and screamed, "get me Helen". They rushed towards her room and opened the door, by the time they got
They all kept mute, looking at each other. "Talk to me, why did you let this happen?" "We are sorry master, we didn't know, we didn't see it coming", one of them replied. "Can you hear yourself, you didn't see this coming, hope you know the punishment attached to this?" Elder Joe asked. "Yes we know master, but we can work it out, besides it's only within us here", one of the nurse replied. Elder Joe stormed out of the room to the garden crying, "what's going on?" the old lady asked. "She gave birth to two children at once and I believe you know what that implies?", he said amidst tears. "Yeah, it means doom is near and also the kingdom is about to be divided", she replied. "In addition it's not acceptable in this part of the world to give birth to two children at once, which may lead to the killing of the children or their mother", the Old lady said. "Exactly my point", Elder Joe said. "What the hell, should I do concerning this", he asked facing her. "Why not kill one and
