shadow of destiny: love and deception Chapter 32
Crimson's POV"Yes Father, I do have a good reason," I said.I looked straight at Aethelfrith, the smirk on his face already faded, I clicked my tongue, and winked at Aethelfrith.There was no way they thought I didn't have a backup plan, I wasn't that stupid.I had planned everything carefully, from getting evidence to giving the punishment after all I learnt from the best. Leon, Aethelfrith, and Tyramon's faces were priceless at this moment. I wanted to laugh but I couldn't."Wh…wha.. what reason," Leon stammered,I was expecting Aethelfrith or Tyramon to ask first but I was a bit disappointed that Leon asked first."Leon, be calm, I will answer," I said. I took a sip of water from my glass. I loved the panic I sensed in Tyramon's eyes."Crimson, what reason are we talking about?" The king asked me."If it's a good reason will you let my punishment be?" I asked, trying to strike a deal with the king."Yes, I promise not to interfere," The king promised."Okay then, there is a rule t

Aethelfrith's POV"Yes Father, I do have a good reason," Crimson said.She looked straight at me, the smirk on my face faded away, I could hear her click her tongue from across the table, and she winked at me.What does she mean, she has a good reason, the color drains from my face as panic runs through my veins."Wh…wha.. what reason," Leon stammered, I was about to say something but Leon beat me to it."Leon, be calm, I will answer," Crimson said. She took a sip of water from her glass. "Crimson, what reason are we talking about?" The king asked her."If it's a good reason will you let my punishment be?" Crimson asked, I wonder what she was getting at."Yes, I promise not to interfere," The king promised."Okay then, there is a rule that states no Royal male can enter the room of a female if he isn't married to her, am I right?" Crimson said, my attention was more on her now."You are right," Queen Elisabela said."And if a female that isn't married to the Crown prince enters hi

Crimson's POVThe king's punishment for Aethelfrith rang in my head continuously. I didn't want my Aethelfrith to get punished, I just wanted Tyramon to get punished or kicked out of the realm. I paced around Zella's room, my finger in my mouth."I need to get my Aethelfrith out," I said my voice barely a whisper while pacing the room."Crimson, calm down," Zella said, painting on a canvas board."I can't be calm right now," I said, still pacing up and down in her room."I don't care if you can't calm down but you have to, can't you see you are distracting me from painting," Zella said with utmost seriousness."But," I hadn't finished my words when Zella threw her painting item on the floor out of anger and let out a terrifying scream breaking the glass around me. I flinched and looked at her in shock, my eyes widened and filled with fear.Zella walked up to me and held my hands, her nails enclosed, making her claws dig into my skin, her eyes turning red and her fang coming out.

Crimson's POV"Aren't you going to answer that?" I asked, pointing at the door."I will," Zella said."Don't worry, let me," I smiled politely and walked towards the door."No let me, it's my room," Zella dashed towards the door at full speed, surprise written all over my face.Was she expecting anyone she didn't want me to see? Zella opened the door slightly, I took a deep breath and focused on her, with my inner energy I could hear her heartbeat loud and clear and as if she was scared of what was or who was at the other side of the door, she placed her hands on the door hand."Aren't you going to open it?" I asked curiously. Zella nodded her head. She opened the door slowly but soon released a breath of relief, the color quickly made its way back to her face, and was about to smile when she frowned at whoever was at the door.She was definitely hiding something and I wonder what it was. I would have loved to find out but I have other things to deal with."What are you doing here?"

Crimson's POV"What have I done? Instead of making Aethelfrith stronger, I have sent him to a place to get killed," I said, tears rolling down my face as I couldn't control it anymore."It's okay Crimson even I forgot Aethelfrith wasn't full blooded," Zella said, she gave my shoulder a light squeeze."It's not okay, how can it be okay? I forgot Aethelfrith was a Dhampir, what was I thinking doing all these?" I yelled, amidst tears and hiccups."Why are you yelling at me? I didn't say anything wrong, I am not even the one that sent him to the underground prison," Zella said, shielding herself from my anger."Am sorry," I apologized, "I have to help him, I have to get him out of there," I said to Zella amidst tears."But you can't, you know it's dangerous, you know that right?," Zella said, sounding unsure."What do I do now?" I asked Zella, looking at her with puppy eyes."Why are you looking at me? Why are you even asking me that? I don't know," Zella said."Zella!" I called out prete

Crimson's POVI barged into Zella's room, slamming the door very hard while entering, she looked up from the book she was writing."Where are your manners? Weren't you taught how to knock before entering someone's room?" Zella questioned, not happy about my way of entering her room."Am sorry, it's just that, there is someone in the palace that just got on my nerves," I sat down on the chair in front of Zella's dressing mirror."Wow and you couldn't do anything, I wonder who that person is," Zella said, trying to stiffened a laugh."But it isn't funny, he was talking as if someone powerful had his back," I said, Zella looking at me out of curiosity."Really who is he?" Zella asked, her curiosity piqued. She drew closer to me."How would I know that," I said, pushing Zella lightly away from me."I mean his name and where you found him, I mean it could be the beginning of a love story," Zella said giggling. I looked at her with irritation."How could you say that, you know my heart only

Crimson's POVThe guard announced my arrival in the king's reading chamber, I entered the room, I met the king reading some old dusty book on his reading table, the moment he noticed me he took off his reading glasses."Crimson, what an honest surprise to see you in my reading chamber," The King, Aethelfrith's Father said, he put his reading glasses on the table."Greetings my King, why is it a surprise to see me in your reading Chambers?" I asked, taking the seat opposite him."The Crimson I know never visited my chambers unless in need of something," the King said."Ouch, that hurt me Father," I said, placing my hand on my chest in a playful manner."So what do I owe the pleasant visit?" The king chuckled, I bit the inside of my mouth, thinking of how to say it."Yes Father, I came today for a selfish reason," I said, looking down at my hands."What may this reason be?" The king asked, looking at me."I came because of Aethelfrith," I said. I raised my head to meet Father's gaze."A

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

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? I started coughing heavily, everything became blurry, so I t

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,
