The more I try to understand father's decision to turn on me the more angry I feel
He let my purpose burn... leading me blinding, making me lose myself to him...to the throne.
I lose myself to get what I want and now I'm empty handed. I gave my all and they all know it, but he took me down and replaced me... making me think I deserve it.
But I'll gladly take everyone down to hell with me.
Zealot POV
His desires are not necessary... I can't believe he'd thought father was in his right senses to pamper him. What a joke!!!
"Your highness...royal report!" the guard rushed in. Dealing with work as a regent is so hard but I'm definitely not giving it up either.
I went through the report and now it's getting interesting...zainrald little ally is out doing some criminal things, convincing the general against me, dinning with them...so casual right?
"Jones....!" I called out
"Yes your highness!!" His expression changes when I passed the report to him,his brows twitch in anger
" It looks like he's less busy to be so indulge in treason!"
I laughed out loud....our thinking is kind of the same that's why I made him my man.
"See to it that he's busy form now on till I'm ready to deal with him!"
The smirk on his face was assuring enough... can't wait to see who's going to help you now Zain....or vain... Laughter erupt again as I realized how vain Zain is.
**********
Things haven't been the same since I was locked here, father's intuition is really something,can smell a rat where there's none and still found it.
He took our presence for granted and here I am in this dungeon.
"I'll ask you one more time.... where's my daughter?"
No need to tell me how pained and angry he is.....he really loves her but what's going to be my gain if I tell him the truth.
I need to find a scapegoat... I can let my dignity be trampled on like this but I have to indeed think wisely.
"Father.... please... I don't know anything... I absolutely don't know!!" I cried out, let's lose some tears but not dignity
"This is yours...?" The same little trap I fell for... But now let's think.... I didn't go to Violet's room before and after the little drama...unless....
"Cannery!!!!!?!!" His raging voice disrupt my thinking...let me reason old man.
Amidst my thinking he sigh and left...this got me thinking for a while who could have framed me like this?
"You shouldn't have done it!" it's my only selfish brother... I wasn't ready to talk to him... I have to think more of a full proof plan
"Just tell me what happened...? I'll find a way to explain to father to at least release you!" his tone softened and his eyes teary but serious
"You also believe that I did something that I didn't do don't you?" I scoffed away
"That napkin is the only thing against you...you have tons of them and you make them yourself..." he flattened his tone on me....
" And it's not like you gave anyone any piece!" Then it clicked.... I gave some... Sasha.... Violet's maid
"Oh....yes I did... I remember giving Sasha!"
I gave it to her as a symbol of alliance....most people under me have each on them but different...the only mistake I made was to give her the one I'm popularly seen with
"Who's Sasha....?" Anger brewing in his voice bit by bit
"Violet's maid....she admire it on me and showered me praises so I gave her one since I was in a good mood after her flattery!!"
A sinister smirk appeared in my mind as I saw his expression change instantly
"But I don't know Violet has a maid....! I have to go!!"
He dashed out of the dungeon leaving me victorious.
But now I have to make sure she doesn't tell one because if she do it will end me completely.
Cyprus worked efficiently well... I was out of the dungeon and now it's time to get myself a secured check mate....
I dashed to my room... breathe in the fragrance and decided to look beautiful as I march to today's set plan.
I can feel the intensity of the palace guards...no single insect can move because the king is on the edge. One wrong move..
..your head goes with it. It was soon sun down and I couldn't wait to get into the dark.
"Who is that....?" the voice behind the door is really scary
"It's Nery!" His tone softened with
"oh" and he opened the door pulling me in a war embrace
" I thought you're avoiding me...!"
"No... I was locked up by my father....he thinks I'm responsible for his missing daughter!"
I explained slightly removing the hoodie
His expression became complex but soon calm down
" Thank goodness you're free... but wait...hope no one else knows about this...? If there's any aside form us I have to get rid of them!"
"Exactly why I came...? Sasha... she's alive living with a dangerous secret...she as to be out of the way!!" it's has gotten to this point
"That's for the best... I still have her son and her family wrapped around my finger I'll send my men to handle them discreetly tomorrow!"
His efficiency is something I can rely on solely...
"Thank you so much Alexander!" I hugged him giving him slowly what he likes
He didn't resist as we both played with each other till it got intensed.
