shadow of destiny: love and deception Chapter 17
Crimson's POVI walked into the dinning room wearing jeans and a top, despite having my training. It was something I have never done. I always wore a gown before my training to the dining table, then later changed to trousers after breakfast for my training. As I entered the dining room the palace maids and guards looked up at me, their eyes judging but their mouths dare not make any sounds or utter any word. I took my seat on the dining table awaiting everyone's arrival.Everyone began walking into the dining table one by one. I was smiling seeing everyone walk in but that smile was wiped out from my face when I saw Aethelfrith and that other woman Tryamon walking in giggling at each other like children. I tried my best to keep my anger within myself.Everybody took their position on the dining table, I had purposely left a space for Aethelfrith to sit but he and Tryamon said opposite me."Aethelfrith, are you supposed to sit with your betrothed?" The king asked, looking at Aethelfr

Aethelfrith's POV As the morning sunlight streams in, I take notice of the sunlight reflecting on Tyramon's face and want to protect her from being woken up by the bright rays. With a gentle gesture, I used my hands as a shield, blocking the sunlight from disturbing her sleep. I stared at her smiling and admiring her, she looked so beautiful and peaceful while sleeping. I watched as her eyelids fluttered slightly, sensing the approaching Dawn."Good morning," Tyramon said, her voice calm and gentle."Good morning, did you sleep well?" I asked, I pecked her lips making her blush."Of course, I did because you slept by my side," Tyramon said, shyly. I smirked the moment I remembered our make-out session last night, "did you enjoy Last night?" I teased, making Tyramon blush harder."I think it's time you go to your room, my prince," Tyramon said playfully, getting up from the bed.I held her wrist, "I can't leave, I will have my bath here then from here we shall proceed to the dining

Tyramon's POV"Can you tell me about Crimson?" I asked the maid Rose as we walked towards the library to meet the king."Do you mean to say Crown Princess Crimson?" Rose asked, correcting me in the process."Yes Crown Princess Crimson," I answered, trying to hide my irritation.What would be so bad if I called her Crimson?."It is wrong to call the Crown princess by her name and certain punishments are to be faced," Rose said,as if reading my mind."Okay, so are you going to tell me about her? And yes Zella too?" I said curiously."Crown princess Crimson is the soon-to-be wife and queen to Aethelfrith and of this Realm. Princess or Lady Zella is Aethelfrith's immediate elder sister and Crown Princess Crimson Best friend." Rose answered as if she was trained to say Just that."Is that all?" I asked dryly."Yes my lady, that is all I believe you need to know," Rose said to me, she turned to the guard, "announce the arrival of Lady Tyramon to the king," Rose ordered, and the guards obeye

Aethelfrith's POV"Father asked to see you after Crimson's Training session" Leon said looking down at his phone. Leon is addicted to his phone. I seriously don't get why."Me? Why?" I asked."I would know, I am not father, I am Leon," Leon said, I nodded my head."What was Lilah on about?" I asked Leon the moment Tyramon left the dining room."Who is Lilah?" Leon asked, making me look at him in shock. I snatched his phone From his hands , Leon's phone was becoming an obstacle."What? What did she say?" Leon asked, raising his eyebrows at me."About me being blind," I chuckled."Of course, you were blind throughout the whole dinner," Leon laughed."What's funny?" I asked, sounding unsure."Crimson purposely wore a jean to the dining room to gain your attention but you being a fool didn't," Leon smacked me on the Head."But she did gain Father's attention," I tried controlling my laughter."Father supported her, guess who got on father's wrong side?" Leon said in a mocking tone, the sm

Crimson's POVI was getting dressed in my training attire when Rose entered the room without knocking, I raised my eyebrows at her, my expression questioning her disrespectful behavior."How dare you badge into the Crown Princess room without permission," Katrina said before I could even say anything."Crown Princess Crimson I am sorry, please forgive my bad manners for it was urgent I didn't have the time to think," Rose said, making me curious about what she was talking about."It's not a problem but what made you rush into my room in such a disrespectful manner?" I asked."Crown princess Crimson I have come with the news you may not like," Rose said, from the mirror I could see Rose looking at my every reaction."You are already here, why not say the displeasing news," I said impatiently."It's about Prince Aethelfrith and Lady Tyramon," Rose said, I looked up from the mirror."What about them?" I asked, I had purposely told Rose to stay behind because I knew Tyramon would need hel

Aethelfrith's POVI was getting ready to go to the training Field when Father summoned me, I had no choice but to go meet Father in the library. I got to the library and my arrival was announced by the guard before I entered."Greetings father," I greeted politely."You brought a fairy to this Realm," Father shouted, anger written all over his face."How…how do you know?" I asked Curiously because even I didn't know that at first."What do you mean, how do I know? I am the king, I have met different people so how wouldn't I know the energy of a fairy," Father said furiously."She is my friend and guest, so there is no harm," I said, trying to convince Father everything was alright."There is, it is forbidden for a fairy to enter this Vampire realm, and by doing that she has endangered herself," Father said, I could swear I heard the concern in his voice."Endanger herself, how?" I asked curiously."No matter what you do, make sure to keep her within the palace walls else you would fac

Aethelfrith's POVI snickered "Am getting engaged" I sat on the floor laughing with my head on my hands laughing out loud uncontrollably."You're getting engaged," Leon joined me in laughing uncontrollably, I hadn't realized when he got to the middle of the field. Tyramon stood there looking at the Two of us.The smile on my face instantly turned into a frown, "What's funny?" I asked Leon."First, let's get you to your room," Leon said, helping me stand up."Tyramon, you should head to your room, I will see you later," I said, patting her on the head gently."Why? Can't I come with you?" She asked Curiously, uneasiness evident on her face.Leon snickered, "You want to enter the Crown Prince's room? This time it's the Queen that will trash you," Leon said, I punched his chest lightly."It is not allowed for anyone except the crown princess, blood-related and servant to enter the Crown prince's room," I said to Tyramon, who nodded her head in response and left the field.As I and Leon w

Aethelfrith's POV"Where are you going?" Leon asked the moment I stood up from the bed."I should pay Queen Elisabela a visit," I replied, walking towards the door."But you haven't seen or visited her since you returned, why do you want to visit her today?" Leon asked curiously.I sighed heavily, "I would love to greet her, that's all," I walked out of the room."Be polite and call her mother at least, you can win her over with that," Leon shouted at the top of his lungs so I could hear him outside the room.I walked to Queen Elisabela's room, I didn't even wait for my arrival to be announced. I just walked in, she was playing a game of chess with her right handmaid."Good evening Queen Elisabela," I Greeted, slightly bowing my head out of respect."My son is hurt, so what is so good about the evening?" Queen Elisabela asked, her voice low and sad, still concentrating on her game of chess."Your son is healing," I said. I gestured for her maid to leave the room, which she did.Queen E

I could see him fall to the floor, everyone around me was falling on the ground, losing consciousness.I turned and my eyes caught a glimpse of Tyramon, she wasn't on the ground, she was kind of in the air, she wasn't weak like the rest of us, she was stronger, I saw a beautiful wings behind her, I tried to keep my eyes opened to be sure I was seeing right.I felt liquid rolling down my nose, I touched my nose and discovered it was blood, what is going on?

Crimson's POVQueen Elizabela has been gone for minutes but it seems like hours, she promised to help but that is what she was going to do."Mother is taking so long from wherever she went to, I wonder where she is?" Leon groaned and started whining like a child."Leon, be patient, Queen Elisabela will be here soon," I assured but I wasn't even sure of what I was saying because nobody knows where she went."Queen Elisabela can't help us, only the king can help us," Tyramon said and we turned to look at her, the eyes in the rooms were like knives ready to attack if she said nonsense."The Queen would only become weak, extremely weak, something terrible might happen to her," Tyramon trembled as if she was terrified of something or someone."Why are you so sure of this?" I asked, I was curious, I still suspected her of being a fairy."I am well aware you are already taking responsibility for Aethelfrith disappearance because that is your mistake but will you also take responsibility for

Crimson's POV"Crimson! Am talking to you, who the actual fuck is Azrael!" Leon yelled.I was angry at the fact a spare prince dared to raise his voice at me but could not do anything because I needed him to save my Aethelfrith and my stupid right hand maid just say anything they want."Azrael is a prisoner, whom I have locked up in the underground dungeon," I said, with no emotions in my face or eyes."Why did you lock him up?" Tyramon asked."Hmmm, excuse me?" I questioned pretending I didn't hear what she was saying at first."Of course, she is Crown Princess Crimson so she goes around locking people who step on her feet," Leon scoffed. I was holding on to my last bit of patience."Leon!" I called out almost in tears of frustration."But he is locked up in the underground dungeon, so is it possible for him to do all this?" Katrina voiced her opinion."Meaning he isn't the one, someone has his back," Leon said,"I thought as much, the way he spoke with confidence," I said with pride

Crimson's POV I was confused as to who Leon was warning, and I wonder which fairy has entered the realm and who brought the fairy in. We all arrived at the library, it was dusty and extremely dark, "I didn't know we had this kind of library in the palace." "You don't know anything about this Realm and you are to become the queen of this Realm, I truly pity Aethelfrith and the future of this Realm," Leon said but his attention was on the dusty books on the shelf. "I have never been shown this part of the palace before," I pouted. "Really, that is the more reason why you should always look around, father money keeps getting wasted on your Queen's training," Leon scoffed. "The king's money is getting wasted, that's the reason she has us," Katrina said and I smiled at her. "Did you hear that?" I clicked my tongue. "Of course, I did, you better watch your back, someone else might become the queen," Leon said and a smirk appeared on his face. I looked at Tyramon, "I am the only Quee

Crimson's POV We waited for Leon to bring whatever it was from under the bed and he eventually did but he used a cloth to bring it out. "Leon, what is that?" I asked. "I wonder what they teach you in your Queen lesson," Leon said, his voice filled with mockery and amusement. "It's a gem, a rare one at that, wherever this gem is left somewhere, something bad will surely happen, someone is bound to get hurt or even worse dies," Leon said, dropping the gem on the table. "I know This gem but not everyone can touch it, except the person who controls it," Katrina said. "That's why you were burnt Crown Princess Crimson, because the gem was used to touch you," Leon explained. "Not everyone can acquire the gem except some special type of people," Leon said and turned to look at Tyramon. "Special type of people, do you mean the fairies?" Katrina asked and Leon nodded his head. "How do you know all these?" A curious Rosa asked Katrina. "They were taught in Crown Princess Crimson Queen's

Crimson's POV "Crown Princess Crimson, where is Aethelfrith?" Tyramon asked, I stared in confusion "He was there, he was lying there just a moment ago," I said in Total confusion. "Crown Princess Crimson, weren't you asleep for sometime?" Rosa asked. "Yes, yes, I fell asleep, when I fell asleep he was there but when I woke up, he wasn't," I explained to everyone present in the room. "How does that make any sense!" Tyramon raised her voice. "Are you raising your voice at the Crown princess of this Realm?" Rosa asked "And even more, because her husband is missing?" Katrina added. "Maybe he regained consciousness," I thought out loud. "Yes maybe he did and left the room," Tyramon said "Then let's go check for him," Katrina said. "We should check his room first," Rosa said. They were about living the room when I stopped them. "Wait, if Aethelfrith left here on his own, he would have arranged the bed, he is that neat and he was too weak to even move a finger on his own," I said,

Crimson's POV"They are dead? How?" "Crown Princess, I don't know, I just met them dead," the guard said trembling."Explain what you saw," I said calmly."After dropping Crown prince Aethelfrith in your room, I went to my duty post, when I got there it was so quiet and I saw traces of blood on the floor, I went further then I saw the guard who was with Crown prince Aethelfrith dead on the floor," the guard explained."Then what about Azrael?" I asked, my curiosity piqued."He was chained, there was blood all over his body and yes his mouth too, the guard who chained him up was dead too""The guards on duty were killed but Azrael wasn't, explain to me how does it make sense," I said, pacing the room."Crown Princess Crimson," Rosa called out, when I turned I saw the guard was on the floor looking lifeless, Rosa and Katrina were by his side.I rushed to them, I put my hand on his nose to confirm if he was still breathing, "he is alive," I breathe a sigh of relief."Blo…blood," Katrina

Crimson's POV"Tyramon," Aethelfrith called out weakly,"Tyramon?" I scoffed weakly, Aethelfrith called out to her again weakly before he fell unconscious."Take him to my Chambers immediately," I ordered the guard weakly, Katrina and Rosa followed behind them."Tyramon, Tyramon, Tryamon!" I called out angrily. I let out a scream, "Why did he call out to her? What is his relationship with her!" I said beating hard on my chest, I sat on the floor and wailed.I hadn't realized time had gone by, so I stood up and walked to my Chambers. When I got to my Chamber, I met Rosa and Katrina taking care of Aethelfrith."How is he doing?" I asked calmly"Crown prince Aethelfrith's health keeps deteriorating, what do we do now?" Katrina asked"I think we should call the physician, what do you think, Princess Crimson?" Rosa asked."Princess Crimson," Rosa tapped me on the shoulder."Hmm, what is it?" I asked, utter confusion written on my face."Didn't you hear what I had said earlier?" Rosa asked,

Crimson's POVI went down to the underground dungeon with Katrina and Rosa following behind with trays of food and ointment for Aethelfrith's wound."Did you find out about Azrael?" I asked Rosa."Not yet but give me time, Crown Princess Crimson," Rosa pleaded."Hmm, okay, two days," I nodded my head"Thank you so much Crown Princess Crimson," both Katrina and Rosa said in unison."I thought I said not to come in here again Crown Princess Crimson?" Azrael asked the moment I stepped my feets inside the underground dungeon."Azrae!" Katrina called out."How dare you speak to Crown Princess Crimson, the Crown princess of this Realm in that tone?" Rosa said before I could say anything."Kneel, now!" I said but Azrael stood firm looking at me."Are you deaf or something?" I took a step closer to him."I am only following the king's order," Azrael said, his voice unwavering and bold."Who am I?" I asked"The Crown princess of this Realm," Azrael answered, and I shaked my head."And soon to
