TEN YEARS LATER
"Cursed bitch! Eat this!" Several rotten food is thrown at Lumina, as she struggles to look for the food to eat.
But it was becoming hard for her, her hands outstretched. She tried severally to touch it but the girls surrounding her would kick it off and even match her hands in the process.
Tears flooded her eyes, she was so hungry but they were making it hard for her to eat.
"What is going on here?" They hear the voice that holds power and authority.
Everyone bowed her head except one who had jet black hair, in her blue robe… as she held a cane in her hands.
"Dad!"
"Courtesy Rhenera!" King Ryker, yelled making her fall to her knees immediately.
He signaled to the guards who quickly rushed to Lumina helping her up, "What is wrong with you? Why continue bullying your sister." Rhynera made a disgusting face,
"Dad! Never! She might have your blood but not mine, no cursed blind bitch! Whose mother betrayed the realm would be related to me.!"
Lumina looked down sadly upon hearing this, and she decided to fight for her mum, she disliked the way everyone thought her mother was a betrayer.
She so badly wanted to prove to everyone that her mother wasn't one, but she was blind, and she still hadn't met the one her mum called a protector.
King Ryker moved toward Rhymera smacking her across her face and making Rhynera grumble under her breath.
"How dare you talk to me in that tone!"
"I will Dad! What is so special about her mum? Why don't you just follow the instructions of the High King and destroy every bloodline traceable to her mother!" King Ryker slapped Rhynera again and Lumina quickly rushed to her dad.
Yes, she is blind but if she isn't bullied she could get directions of where people are standing very quickly.
"Dad!" Lumina fell on her knees shaking her head, "Please don't hurt sister… forgive her." Rhynere was irritated and pushed her out of the way.
"Don't fucking beg for me! You are nothing," Rhynera yelled and walked out on her father.
"Get back here!" King Ryler called back his daughter "Dad… please don't punish her I.."
"Enough of you pleading on her behalf, she doesn't listen and she would get punished for that."
"Dad!" Lumina let out again and this pissed King Ryket more.
"Her salary for this month is cut off, and she would be on house arrest for three days,"
"My Lord." The king's Aide Salmon disapproved, "The princess is having her birthday in two days"
"Then it's canceled." everyone gasped around, "And to you all," he said pointing at Rhynera's minions.
"You are to work with the place guards for three months."
"My lor.." King Ryker raised his hands, stopping his aid.
"No matter what, even though she is the legitimate daughter of my queen, she still needs to respect Lumina as an older sister."
"Consider it done My lord,"
"Dad, please we can…"
"One more word from you Lumina and you would take the punishment," Lumina shut her mouth and then King Ryler glanced at her handmaiden.
"What are you doing?, help her up!" he yelled and Stella rushed toward Lumina to help her up.
King Ryker might be a king but is the kind that is nice to members of the kingdom or so they think.
After the death of his concubine Elena who turns out to be the mother of Lumina who everyone sees as a curse to the kingdoms.
He promised to take care of her vulnerable daughter, who turns out to be blind.
Though he tries his best to give her the best life the position she finds herself in makes her suffer.
"Lumina, I told you to walk on your fighting ability, why isn't it still good." Luminal grasped the stick given to her and she smiled.
"Dad, I am blind… having fighting skills will be so hard on me," Kimg Ryker sighed.
He moved toward her swinging his hands but Luminq didn't move an inch and he stopped midway.
"Work on your hearing, the next time I come see you… we will battle and you must win." Lumina smiled.
"As you wish Father," King Rykerr smiled and patted her hair, with one last sigh he walked off along with the guards.
The moment he left, Lumina turned her back walking into her chamber, with Stella tracing behind her.
She threw her stick away and stopped in the middle of her chamber.
"Three days.." she mumbled and Stella nodded her head moving forward to stand in front of Lumina.
"My lady, you are so smart how did you know the king would come and would also punish her?" Lumina smirked.
"To prove to me that is truthful to his word and also the best father in the world." Stella snorted at this.
"So what are you going to do?"
"I need to set her up within these three days, there would be no one to watch me while I explore."
"My Lady… explore how.
"It's time," she mumbled, and Stella stared at her, "it's finally the day I will see the one who's meant for me, and I need to leave this realm if I need to do it." Lumina turned to Stella.
"My Lady but how.." Lumina patted her shoulder, "Leave that to me, I have my way of doing things ."
