Chapter 15 - Episode 15. The Apologies

Prince Henley momentarily froze, he

quickly composed himself and ran towards the woman. He carried her in his arms and turned her around like a kid.

"You…. you are still alive!". He put her down, but when he saw bandages on her head his face turned blue, he took down the vail.

"Who's dog did this to you?" Henley asked."

"Please open the coffin my son is going to suffocate!" The queen shouted.

"Who cares about your stupid son? look what they did to my little sister. You do it yourself."

"But Prince Henley you have taken all my guards hostage. How am I going to do that?"

"You can just use your teeth, men realize the hostages and withdraw our forces! My sister is back, and hay king Zumwanda I am taking my sister back to Silia."

"Brother wait! I am staying here, I can't go back."

"Why? Is it because of our father? Don't worry I am dethroning him and crown you queen, you don't need a marriage alliance to be who you are meant to be."

"Your brother is right please let's go back home my princess." My father said, and I looked at him rising my eyebrows.

"Just yesterday you were threatening me, and striping my title, what changed today?" I asked coldly.

"I am sorry because of my stupidity I put you in danger. I will try to make up with you please."

"I am the wife of prince AK, I am not divorcing twice and I am not running away from my destiny, I am going to face it head on."

"Ok if that's what you want, but this time you will take your three thousand men, there is no room for negotiation."

All yes this over protected brother of mine gave me three thousand troops but I refused them when I was getting married to prince Darius, but now.

"Ok brother I accept, but I don't need one thousand maids. Five will be enough to include the ones I have."

"No, I am giving you ten excluding the ones you have."

"What will I be doing with fourteen maid's?"

"Whatever you want, it's not like you will be paying them."

"You win, I am taking them." I kept quiet for some time.

"What is it?"

"For now I don't have a camp to put all that military power you are giving me."

"Take a hundred men for now. I give you a week to find them a comp." He held my hand and left the cemetery.

"What happened?"

"I am not sure what happened, I can't even begin to process."

At the palace people demanded answers about what happened to the princess? Who were the cops? People had so many questions.

"Yesterday I come back from the church, after a meeting with the two kings, I went to the house of prince AK, I was about to go to sleep when all the sudden I smelled something like sleeping gas before I could react I lost conscious."

" So it wasn't an accident but a kidnap?"

"Yes they gassed her."

"When I opened my eyes I found myself in a room surrounded by six men."

"Princess, where was your dog?"

"I bet she was scared."

"I had sent Sniper to call me Grandma Rose, because until today my carrier pigeon Titi is still missing."

"Someone planned this carefully. I am now sure it wasn't a coincidence."

"The six men wanted to assault me then kill me. They also mentioned that they were the same people who kidnapped prince Akson fifteen years ago."

"Ah! Who could it be that is doing this?"

"Princess, the prince wasn't kidnapped, he died."

"Yes, some of us witnessed his burial."

"I know, a few hours ago you were about to bury me as well."

"Yes I almost forgot that people use daty tricks."

"The prince managed to escape them, he might be alive somewhere."

"Yes, our prince AK is still alive just like the princess is."

" I knew my son was still alive." The queen said with tears of joy.

" I was almost humiliated and eventually killed but Sniper and a group of strange men appeared in time to help me out."

"Where are the heroes who saved the princess?"

"They didn't want to be recognized as heroes so they left as soon as they saw me off "

"Wow there good people."

" But as you can see I didn't come back unscaved. These people made a very bad wound on my forehead. I will probably never be the same again, because this will leave a very big scar. If I am lucky I may be fine but it's not guaranteed."

" Where are the people who kidnapped you? Please bring them to justice."

"I apologize for letting you people down because this people committed suicide as soon as we cort them there bodies are at the village cemitary we crucified them if anyone recognize them please come and report to the king."

"What will happen now princess?"

"What about the doctor? He lied twice."

"I am sorry but my sister is going to have some rest. She has gone through a lot, excuse us." My brother took me to my house and the renovation was already finished.

"Hey brother, where is that doctor who declared me dead?"

"I am sorry sister but the doctor went missing. My men are looking for him anywhere but he could not be found."

"I see."

"Don't worry I will find him even if I look under every stone and leave it out there."

"Ok brother I will be waiting."

"That doctor is in cahutus with the kidnapers I am sure he won't be easy to find."

"Take your time brother, he will be found as long as he is still on earth."

"I am going to stay with you for now."

"No need, I don't want my sister in law to kill me for stealing you away from her."

"Yes I will murder you a hundred times over the kid who is coming with me."

"What are you doing here?"

"I am sleeping here of course. What else?"

"Get your husband and get out of my house. I don't want to see your face every morning when I work up."

"You have no choice kid unless you stop your ass from being kidnapped all the time then we wouldn't worry so much."

"So you admit you are worried about me?"

"I never have."

"Lair lair lair."

"Well go and bathe. I will prepare your favorite meal." I went to the bathroom, only to find my three maid nilling.

"Forgive us princess!"

"I have nothing against you after all I was the one who send you back to the queen, and when I came back I didn't come to clem you."

"Please do as you please, my princess , we will accept any punishment."

" Your punishment is to be royal and never leave me."

"That's not punishment, please punish us."

"Ok let me think about it, now go so that I can bathe in peace."

"Sorry my princess today you are bathing in pieces, because I will be here, Why Mi and Mercy will be outside."

"Okay let it be then." I went to bed early but before I could dreft into sleep.

"You have such a nice house."

I looked at the window and ask, "Who are you?"
