Zameil eyes widened, same as others.. The maid killed herself.. no she didn’t, someone actually made her kill herself but who?!

Among the royal families, one of them smirked as she sat there without a word.

Zameil stayed unmoved as he stared at the lifeless maid on the floor. The person who killed her doesn’t want his/her identity to be revealed. No wonder the maid begged him not to force her to speak.

At least he knew something.. someone in the palace posseses a dark magic.. how interesting.

“Zameil!” The king roared as he stood. “Your action this time went to far”

Right, since Zameil is the only weird being in the palace, the king automatically think he was the one who killed the maid.

“He didn’t do it” Derek defended his friend.

“Is that so. Who else posses a dark energy in them?” The King asked.. the Queen smiled.

Alice didn’t know what to say, she just watch the scene unfold. One thing she knew was, Zameil didn’t kill the maid. Someone else did, and that person is after her life.

Her eyes scan the royal but wasn’t sure of whom to choose. They are all suspicious except Eleanor.

“Who else?!” The king asked again, his gaze went down to Zameil. “You’ll get punished for this.. Guards!!”

Some hefty men dressed in a soldier attire came forward immediately. “Give him lashes until his body is covered in blood”

“What? No!” Alice stepped out and stood in between The king and Zameil.

The king gave her a questioning look..

“He didn’t.. do it” She said.

“Stay out of my way” The king’s voice was incredibly cold. He wasn’t the man who danced at her wedding party, but a man who dislike Zameil.

Alice felt a gentle touch on her hand. She looked up and found Zameil calm gaze on her.

“It’s okay. I knew this would happen already,” he spoke lightly and Alice’s lips parted. He let go of her and allow the guards to take him.

“Take her to her room and make sure she doesn’t come out until the punishment is done” The king said to the guard behind Alice and she was held.

“No” she muttered jerking her arm away from the guard. “I said he didn’t do it. This is all my fault okay? He was just trying to help”

“Watch the way you speak young woman. I might double his punishment” The king warned and Alice no choice but to keep quiet. He signaled the guard to take her away in which the guard obliged to.

The king’s eyes met with Derek, but then avert it almost immediately and left the room.

Derek never let go of Phaedra’s hand. He gave Augustus a cold look as if telling him, he is watching his ass. He dragged Phaedra gently with him and left.

The Queen walked towards Augustus. “We need to talk” she said walking pass him.

Riya had a worried look on her face. Plato noticed and asked. “What’s with the face?”

Riya gave him a glare. “Mind your business” she walked out.

“Tssk, I hope it’s not what I’m thinking. Does she feel sorry for Zameil?” Julius asked.

“Who knows?” Plato said. “Let’s go and enjoy the show.. we can’t afford to miss Zameil punishment”

Eleanor had an unreadable look on her face. She stood up and left.

It’s been an hour as Alice kept strolling back and forth her room. Her mind was unsettled as she kept thinking of Zameil. Why does the king and brothers hate him so much? Is it because they are not related by blood? Or because of the demon in him?

But all of these wasn’t his fault.

A knock sounded on her door. She thought it was Helen but it turned out to be Saverina.

Saverina walked in and look around the room. “Are you alright?” She asked.

“I’m fine, how’s Zameil?” Alice asked.

“Receiving his punishment” Saverina replied and Alice sighed.

“He didn’t kill the maid. I could swear on that” Alice said.

“I know,” Saverina said.

“You do?” Alice asked.

“Yeah, but I know he almost killed you last night” Saverina said in a cold voice.

“He wouldn’t do that if he was in his right sense” Alice said.

“Yeah, and you barely survived”

“I did and I can do it again” Alice eyes flashed with determination.

“Do you like him?” Saverina suddenly asked and Alice scoffed.

“No not that.. I’m just worried” Alice said. Something clicked in her mind. “Uhm Sa.. sa..ve..”

Saverina rolled her eyes. “Saverina”

“Yeah.. Saverina. Can do me a favour”

“Don’t tell me to take you to Zameil cus I won’t”

“Please, please please please please”

“No..”

“I’ll do whatever you ask. Just once though” Alice said and Saverina seem to think for a moment. “I promise” Alice added.

“Give me your hand” Saverina said and Alice quickly outstretch her hand. “Don’t puke” she said and in the next moment, they both vanished.

Appearing to dark hall Alice felt her stomach tumbled. She turn to the nearest wall and puked.

Saverina sighed and folded her arms. “I’m glad I didn’t go there directly. I told you not to puke”

“Fuck!” Alice cursed. “How the hell do you manage to be okay after that crazy thing.” Disappearing felt like them being washed off by the air.

“It’s part of me” Saverina replied.

Alice took a deep breath. Though, her stomach still feels weird. “I hate it.. Let’s go”

As they walked through the alley, Alice could hear the sound of the whip. She fasten her pace and finally could see the scene from a distance. Her heart dropped in sadness as she watch the guard hit Zameil’s back hard with sharp edged whip.

Zameil’s hand were tied apart from each other. Blood was dripping down his back but no sound came from him. It was as if the pain was nothing.

“They should stop” Alice mumbled, she made to step out but Saverina held her. “Are you trying to put yourself into trouble?”

“Why are they doing this?” Alice face squeeze with worries as she watch the guard hitting him over and over again.

The king sat there with the Queen, they watch the scene without care.

“Saverina?” Galen appeared behind them and they look at him. Alice returned her gaze to Zameil. She badly wished for this to stop, those wounds are definitely going to leave scars.

“I heard from a friend that the prince killed a maid” Galen spoke.

“He didn’t kill her. These people are just been cruel” Alice fist tighten, her eyes burning with anger.

“Elizabeth. Are you..” Galen tried to move close but Saverina stopped him. Her eyes focused on Alice and she frowned.

“Is something wrong?” Galen asked.

“Don’t bother her” Saverina said, as she kept staring at Alice.

Galen frowned. “Why do I feel like, Elizabeth is someone else”

Saverina sighed. “Go back to your place” she said and left too.

Eleanor covered her twins using the thick fabric. She made to off the candle when one of them spoke.

“Mum, what’s happening? I heard the maid whispering that big brother was in trouble” Mirabel said. Macbeth on the other hand was asleep already.

“Don’t mind them baby. Go to sleep” Eleanor said, patting her hair.

“I’m twelve, I’m not a baby” Mirabel said and she smile.

“Sure, You’ll become a beautiful woman soon and get married to a good Noble man” Eleanor said in a calm voice.

“Speaking of that.. you still haven’t told us what happened to our father” Mirabel said.

“He died in a war..”

“You don’t believe that don’t you?” The girl asked.

“I told you not to ask again” Eleanor smile disappeared.

“Sorry mummy” Mirabel apologized.

Eleanor kissed her forehead. “Goodnight” she blew out the candle and left the room.

After a while Mirabel got up and light back the candle. She shook her twins sister but she groan out.

“Get up sleepy head, have you forgotten what we planned?” Mirabel asked.

“I wanna sleep. Let me be” Macbeth said rolling over to the other side.

“Tssk.. whatever” Mirabel muttered and went under her bed. She grab a book she found her mom’s drawer when they secretly sneak into her room. Mirabel is a curious type and always wants to know many things especially what happened to her father.

She strangely believe that her father dying in a war is a lie.

All of sudden, a hand grab the book away from her. Mirabel looked up immediately.

“Mom” she recognized the person in the dark.

“You snuck into my room?” Eleanor asked, her face cold.

“What book is that?” Mirabel asked.

“Something you shouldn’t have. Now go to sleep” she commanded and Mirabel obeyed subserviently.

Eleanor off the candle and left.

Getting to her room, she took a deep breath having the book glued to her chest. She looked around her room thinking of where to hide the book but a knock interrupted her and she quickly put it in her drawer.

It was Phaedra’s who walked in.

“Hey” Eleanor cleared her throat.

“I came to talk to you, thank goodness you’re not asleep” Phaedra’s said.

“Come sit, let’s talk” Eleanor said and they both sat on her bed.

“You believe Derek, don’t you?” Phaedra asked.

“I believe you. I just don’t know why you didn’t tell me about this even with how close we are” Eleanor said.

“I was ashamed and scared so I couldn’t. But I’m glad Derek stood up for me” Phaedra smiled.

“Your mate is sure a good man” Eleanor said and Phaedra smiled.

Augustus head tilted one side as the Queen slapped him hard across the face.

“What the hell are you thinking. Are you planning to destroy your image before the king. You are the crown prince for Goodness sake!” She barked.

“I didn’t do it” Augustus lied.

Queen Delphine slapped him again, he clinched his jaw hard. “It’s obvious August.. I just can’t believe you”

“They had no proof mother. Why are you believing them and not me?”

“Because I know you. I know what you can do. Gawd I can’t believe you and your sister. Just stay away from Phaedra. You can’t destroy your image. You are the crown prince..”

Augustus stayed silence..

“I’ll find a way to solve this and talk to the king”

“What about Derek?” Augustus asked.

“I’ll think of that later” Queen Delphine said and walked away having her maid walking behind.

(ZAMEIL’S CHAMBER)

Alice walked into the room and found the maids cleaning Zameil’s wounds. The man had his eyes close as he sat on his bed. His aura were dark which creeps the fuck out of the maids doing the job.

She had not been able to see him after his punishment so she snuck in. She is really good at that anyway.

Alice noticed the maids discomfort, and used the opportunity. “Leave, I’ll clean the wound”

The maid looked at Zameil. Hearing no word from him, they obeyed Alice’s command since she is his bride.

Alice stepped forward to him, ignoring the cold aura emitting from Zameil. Her heart shattered seeing the deep wounds on his back. She wet the cloth and made to continue the maids work but Zameil stopped her by holding her hand.

“I never asked you to” His cold voice penetrated her ear.

“I don’t need you to ask me” Alice reply made Zameil opened his eyes and look at her.

“Get out” He demanded coldly.

“No.. not until I finish cleaning your wounds” She said.

“You should stay away from me while I’m like this. So go, while I ask nicely”

For some reason, Zameil’s words didn’t scare her.

“Allow me to clean wound then I’ll leave” Alice said.

Zameil was a bit surprised by how she still want to stay with him even with his cold aura. She is sure a bold type. Knowing how stubborn the girl is, he let go of her hand and avert his gaze from her.

Alice began to clean the wounds, her heart pound hard against her chest. The man didn’t even flinch in pain nor cry out while she touches them.

“Does it hurt?” Alice asked quietly. She thought he won’t reply but he did..

“It does. But you don’t need to worry. This is not the first time.”

Not the first time? Alice swallowed hard on that word.

“You shouldn’t have..”

“Stop repeating the same word. I did it because I wanted to.”

“But I feel bad seeing you like this” Alice said.

Zameil turn his head to look at her. Did he hear her correctly? “Are you worried about me?” He asked.

Alice bit her lips and exhaled. “I just hate when someone suffer because of me. Allow me carry my cross next time”

Zameil stared at her for a while before he broke the silence again. “It’s not your cross”

He stood up and took his shirt and began to wear.

“I’m not done cleaning the wounds” Alice said stood up too.

“Just leave, Alice.”

“I’m not..”

She couldn’t finish her word as the man held her waist and made her fall on the bed then hovered over her. His face inches from her face and her eyes widened.

Zameil used one hand to support his weight from crushing her delicate body. His eyes staring deeply into hers. Alice felt her heart skip a beat. She couldn’t move but just blinked. She watched his lips curve up to a dirty smirk.

“Why are you so stubborn, Alice?” He deep voice made her heart skip a beat again.

“W..what.. are.. you.. doing?” She stuttered in a very low voice.

How the hell does he smell so good?!

“You’re not obeying my order, so I should punish you” He whispered.

Alice forgot to breath for a while and she swallowed hard. Why is he acting so differently now?

“Y..your wounds” she reminded him, hoping this man would get off her. She could feel her body responding in a strange way.

“Don’t worry about it, the pain is nothing.. I’m healing already. I just need a distraction” He whispered and draw his face closer. His lips almost met with hers but Alice was fast enough to avert her head away from him. His lips met with her neck instead.

“Remember what you said on our wedding night..” He whispered.

Of course she does, she remembered asking if she could kiss him. Her mind went shut when she felt him brushing his lips on her neck. Her eyes closed, she bit her lips trying not to moan.

But she did when the man kissed her neck gently, driving sensation into her body…

“Oh Zameil…”
