shadow of destiny: love and deception chapter 9
Aethelfrith's POVI whispered, "What are you?" Tyramon looked at me, as if unsure of what to say next.As Tryamon met my question with a confident yet enigmatic response, a surge of anticipation coursed through me.She posed a question of her own, "Do you want to know?" She asked looking into my eyes, I felt shivers run down me. The choice was clear in my mind—whatever the truth may be, I wanted to discover it."Yes," I replied, my voice tinged with a mix of excitement and trepidation. I held her gaze, searching for any hints of deceit or ulterior motives, but all I found was a sense of sincerity and a spark of something extraordinary"Okay then, I will show you what I am." Without further explanation, Tryamon called for the waiter and swiftly took care of the bill. Leaving the restaurant behind, we headed towards the mountains.I watched as Tryamon confidently took the driver's seat of my car, her presence commanding yet gentle. The engine roared to life as she skillfully maneuvered

Aethelfrith's PovI barged into Leon's room without knocking "Leon, Leon" I jumped on his bed.He looked up from his laptop "What?""Tyramon and I are a thing now like we are a couple," I said excitedly, I just couldn't contain the happiness in my heart."Really?" He asked."But you don't seem happy though, is everything okay?" I asked, concern evident in my voice.Leon dropped his laptop and stood up from his bed, sensing something wasn't right I stood up too. "Your news is good, but I have bad news that will scatter your good news.""What do you mean?" I was very worried now about what Leon meant."Father, ask you to come back home," he said. I laughed out loud."It's nothing new, he always asks that." I continue laughing."Your engagement date has been fixed and your Marriage is immediately after your engagement." A wave of shock and disbelief washed over me, my laughter fading into stunned silence. The news Leon had just delivered hit me like a sudden gust of wind, leaving me bre

Crimson's POVI stood in the opulent halls of the palace, overseeing the preparations for Aethelfrith's return. The air was filled with excitement and anticipation, as everyone eagerly awaited the arrival of our beloved Aethelfrith.The servants worked tirelessly, not only to make the palace comfortable but also to cater to Aethelfrith's specific needs. Delicate velvet curtains were drawn across the windows to shield the sunlight, ensuring that his sensitive eyes would not be affected.The aroma of aromatic herbs filled the air, for we knew that Aethelfrith had an affinity for the scent.The palace was adorned with dark, romantic hues, reflecting Aethelfrith's vampiric essence. Rich burgundy tapestries and flickering candlelight added an air of mystique to the surroundings. The tables were adorned with fine crystal goblets and silverware, ready to serve Aethelfrith's preferred drink, deep red, aged blood that had been sourced ethically and with utmost respect for life.The aroma of mo

Aethelfrith's POV Persuading Tyramon to return home with me wasn't an easy thing but after so much she finally agreed."Did you tell her about her?" Leon asks, breaking me from my train of thoughts.I paused my video game, "tell who about who?" I turned to face Leon."Tell Tyramon about Crimson" Leon Said, still concentrating on his Video game.I sighed and ran a hand through my hair, contemplating Leon's question."Not yet," I replied, my voice tinged with uncertainty. "What do you mean not yet?" Leon dropped his game controller, giving me his full attention."I want to make sure Tyramon understands the situation before I introduce her to Crimson. It's important to approach it thoughtfully."Leon looked at me, concern etched on his face. "Aethelfrith, you know this can't go on forever. At some point, both Crimson and Tyramon need to know about each other. It's not fair to either of them to keep them in the dark."I nodded, acknowledging the validity of Leon's point. "You're right,"

Aethelfrith's POV"Who is she?" Crimson asked, her voice barely a whisper.Tyramon walked towards me smiling, "it was Bella on the phone." she locked my hands in hers."What is going on here? What is the meaning of this?" Crimson asked, her expression and voice filled with anger. I kept quiet contemplating the answer to give."Aethelfrith" she shouted, "I am talking to you." I could see and hear the hurt in her voice, I needed to say something before father interferes.I separated my hand from Tyramon's hand. "Crimson, this is Tyramon, my friend" the smile on Tyramon's face instantly turned to confusion, my heart broke at the sight."A friend?" Crimson asked, not believing what I had just said.As I watched Crimson's tear-filled eyes and listened to the pain in her voice, my heart shattered into a million pieces. I had never wanted to hurt her, and yet here I stood.I looked into Crimson's eyes, "Yes,she is just my Friend." I answered unwaveringly."Okay" Crimson walked towards Tryamo

Aethelfrith's POVFear, panic and confusion ran through my veins as I didn't see Tryamon in her room and blood stains on the floor.Where could she have gone?Why is there blood on the floor?Is she hurt?I brought out my phone to dial her number but her phone rang in the room. I searched for her phone and found it on her bed.My mind calmed down when I saw Tyramon come out from the bathroom. I rushed to hug her but she pulled away.I tried to reach out to Tyramon, my voice filled with concern. "Tyramon, what happened? Why is there blood on the floor?"Tyramon's eyes avoided mine as she muttered, "It's nothing. Just a small accident."My worry only intensified as I noticed her flinching slightly, as if in pain. "Tyramon, please don't lie to me. Let me help you. What really happened?""You really want to know what happened?" Tyramon shouted, making me realize I have hurt her deeply."You, happened" she spat, her expression laced with a mix of anger and disgust."Tyramon, I am sorry, I

Tyramon's POVMy heart shattered into a million different pieces at the welcome party when I saw that other woman hug Aethelfrith with so much love, passion, respect and admiration in her eyes for him but those million pieces shattered into billion pieces the moment Aethelfrith introduce me as his friend and not his girlfriend to her.I couldn't understand anything, I held back the tears threatened to fall from my tears filled eyes as Leon walked me to my room as I couldn't bear the pain of seeing the two of them together at the welcome party."Who is she?" I asked Leon, my voice barely audible."Who?" Leon asked pretending not to understand what I was trying to say."The lady who hugged Aethelfrith at the Threshold," I said."She is the would-be-Crown princess Crimson," Leon said, making me speechless for a moment."What do you mean Crown princess? There is already a Crown prince and that is Aethelfrith, there cannot be a crown prince and crown princess expect," I paused when the rea

Crimson's POVYesterday's welcome party for Aethelfrith was a success but he had barely stayed till the end of the party. I was a bit scared when I saw Aethelfrith came in with another girl for a second I taught maybe, just maybe but I was wrong.I sat naked in the bathtub in the bathing room, the pool filled with warm water,honey, milk and petals. My most trusted and loyal maids use almond oil to massage my flawless skin gently and coconut oil to wash and massage my hair. The whole bathroom filled with the scent of lavender."You could have filled the water with roses instead of lavender," I complained to the maids."My lady, we have always used lavender," Katrina said,still massaging my hair."I know but let's try roses next time" I instructed, everyone nodded their heads."The Lady that came in yesterday smelled like roses, did you know that my Lady?" Rose asked, looking at the mirror to see my every reaction."No I didn't, how would I know that? Do you know what?" I paused, "am th

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,

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
