All Chapters of shadow of destiny: love and deception : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Aethelfrith's POV"My punishment is to get married to Leon," Tyramon announced, her words sounding like thunder to my ears. It felt as if I had lost my sense of hearing."Or?" Leon asked, how could he be so sure there is an alternative?"I will leave the kingdom and never return," Tyramon said, her eyes on her Palm.Leon breathed a sigh of relief, "You are taking the latter," he hurriedly said."Hmmm," Tyramon lifted her head to look at Leon, as if not expecting him to say what he had just said."What? You are obviously taking the latter, aren't you?" Leon raised his eyebrows."Crimson doesn't have that type of right," I said, my voice firm. I was about to leave the room to Crimson when Leon held my right wrist."Crimson has the right, I mean she has the right to arrange my marriage," Leon said. I could clearly hear the amusement in his voice."Is it funny," I question"It's not," Leon was talking when I interrupted, "Crimson has the right on you and not on Tyramon!" I yelled out.How

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

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. This

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 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
