The king heart bled ,looking at his son who stood far away in the dark .
The silence in the dungeon was eerie and overwhelming,the darkness in the dungeon itself ,signify a hollow life as the king thought .
If only … I could help ,but the truth is that I'm a bad father ,who can't even help his son ,the king said inwardly while looking at his son from where he stood.
His heart clenched,at the slight imagination of him having to be the reason his son will hate him forever .
Forgive me son ,but I don't know what is right anymore ,he said with a broken heart .Taking a brief look at his son ,the king made his way out ,not wanting to be seen by his son.
Taking a back look at the dungeon's entrance ,the king put on his cloak ,as he couldn't afford to be seen by the people ,to avoid future rumors around the palace .
Lady velina ,prince Karen is here ,the maid called the attention of her lady ,while excusing herself from the two people .
Your beauty never fades,lady velina Karen complimented, smiling while receiving a scornful look from the lady .
For what reason ?am I being summoned by a beautiful lady like you ,Karen said with a flattering tone .
"It not funny Karen ,velina said with anger apparent in her tone .
Wow ,you even removing titles now . Well I like that ,being called by my name ,felt like the most beautiful thing ever I've felt this days ,he said while he strokes her hair .
"Take your filthy hands off my head ,you bastard"she said angrily while grabbing his hand that were on her head , bringing it down angrily".
You know ,you really are very despicable Karen ,it hurt to look at your face .I can't stand the sight of you,you are worse than a pedophile.
"Chuckles".
Karen laughed heartily ,while he held his stomach .i would take that as a compliment ,he spoke while laughing again.
what's funny ?she asked with scorn evident in her voice .
This is really interesting velina ,I keep wondering,how long you will continue to play innocent?.you are such an amazing muse ,Karen added laughing.
"You are evil,velina shouted with horror laced in her tone".
Haha *Hhaha*.
Please dont torture me with laughter lady velina ,Karen spoked, while he laughs.
"You should see your face vel..,they make me want to laugh all day ,I promise I won't forget this look of yours .
Well if I'm evil ,shouldn't you be the devil .i mean your prowess shouldn't be forgotten.
"If I'm evil ,you are the devil"who taught me how to play the demon's game ,Karen said ,now with a scary evil tone .
Fighting for your lover now ?karen asked with a meek tone .you brought him to his end ,not me .you the boss ,I should award you very soon ,or what do you think my lady ?.
Not receiving an answer from her ,he scanned her from head to toe".
I should take my leave now ,he said while he kiss the back of her hands .Now don't you forget our deal ,he added ,before disappearing into the dark night.
Ahhh*,she heaved weakly almost falling on her knees ,before she was caught by her maid who came to her rescue .
DAY OF PINE
"Long live the king ,everyone chorused, as the king sat on the throne".
Let the trial begin ,the chief speaker said after being motioned by the king to do so .
I'm pleased to tell you all that, today ,the final decision will be made regarding the killer behind the queen's death,the royal investigator said sternly .
"Bring him in .."
A young man with a golden brown hair appeared,he was looking very dishelved and weak ,such that ,he couldn't stay on his two leg ,as he kept falling on his toe .
"Drag him, a guard ordered harshly".
Being dragged to the sight of the people,he was left alone to stand in the middle of the crowd .murmurs were passed all around ,everyone's faces were sour ,he could tell a dangerous fate wait ahead of him .
Looking all around him ,his eyes caught on his servant ;his butler ,his head of maid and his three royal guards who to him were his family .They were tied up and all looking battered,they are all suffering because of me ,he thought .
The royal investigator, a huge looking man with a stern gaze ,came up the podium ,in his hands were some paper's holding evidence's and some other stuff that was wrapped in a yellow silk.
Prince zaron,he called .these papers were found in your quarters ,can you explain about it to everyone here ?.
Raising his gaze higher ,he looked at the paper's in the royal investigator hand's.collecting it from him,indeed this was his handwriting,what baffled him the most was how someone could write just like him.
"You are right ,this belongs to me".
Taking the paper back from his hands ,the royal investigator moved backward while raising the paper's in his hand for everyone to see .
Everyone,the royal investigator called the attention of the people .In this paper, are hateful words the prince wrote to the queen ,it is evident in this letter ,how much hatred the prince harbored for the queen all along.
Avoiding all her life to be kill by a wolf,but now she is killed by a sheep ,an onlooker who was dressed in a black silk commented.
Not stopping, the royal investigator unwrapped the item in the royal silk ,revealing a short container covered in black color with a green cover on it lids.
What ! The onlookers gasped ,is that not night shade ?it is the most powerful poison all over the seven realms .No one could ever survive a slight taste of the poison, another onlooker testified .
Prince zaron ,what do you have to say about this ? It was found in your quarters and investigation,shows that this very poison was used on the queen.the royal investigator asked again ,shaking the container.
It is true, I'm the owner .he admitted falsely again .
Here again ,we have a weapon, the royal investigator said again,bringing out the weapon that was kept neatly in a wood case .This was caught on the scene ,this knife was stucked on the queen's chest .
What more do you have to say ?he asked ,now staring at the prince .
I admit to it ,this are among the tools I used in murdering the queen ,he admitted again .
On the night of gold ,your royalty was caught holding a knife to the queen's heart .other weapon's were also identified in the crime scene and also in your quarters .
For this ,zaron wigland are you guilty of the crime committed,the royal investigator questioned .
"I'm guilty of the crimes aforementioned ,he said raising his gaze down".
What! Dawson shouted ,thats a lie my prince .you didn't do that ,how can you admit to a crime you hadn't committed.
Shut it up Dawson ,Gradon reprimanded through gritted teeth ,this is what can be done to save him and ourselves,remember.
I'm guilty the prince said again,I was the one who killed mother ,I killed her for my selfish gain's. I plead your majesty should take pity on me and my accomplice,he begged looking at them.
Take pity on us your majesty ,his servant begged ,bowing their head to the floor with discomfort.
The king looked at his son ,not understanding why he admitted to the crime .
Silence went on,as everyone await the king final verdict .
Rising on his feet ,I hereby declare ,they be banished to earth for the rest of their lives without having any relation's to do with the aethons realm ,the king ordered.
Ohhh no …..this was worse than death itself ,the onlookers murmured .
"Standing in the air ,the chief priest created a portal with a strong hollow wind while chanting some spell's .
Choking sound were muffled ,as the prince and his servant struggles to breath ,their eyes turning dark red ,their breathing heavier ,as their soul were being reaped out of their body .
Sending their soul into the portal that was created ,their bodies turned to ashes.
"Before his soul,left his body in the most cruelest way ,he took one last look at his surroundings,his families faces ,before his eyes finally linger on his lover face .
"Taking one last look at them ,he closed his eyes finallly !.
