Chapter 30: Chapter 30

• •   • • King Williamson or Williams of the Aqua Kingdom • •   • •

~  ~ A vast kingdom but not as vast as the Solis and the Caelum kingdom and so far away from them as if the kingdom was tossed over the fence. However, it is greater than the Terre Kingdom and has a powerful military force, made up  of great warriors ~  ~

"I have been thinking all night about the little girl's words, how dare she, insult me in the presence of my subjects?. She called me ludicrous. What punishment can I certainly give her?. I think untill I punish her, my whole being won't be at peace. I need to punish her to feel at ease."

"My King breakfast is ready, everyone is waiting for you." Kingsman Tommy gets into the king's room, snatching him away from his deepest thoughts.

"I will be right there." the king retorts "Tom, one last thing, no food and water should be given to the young girl." he adds.

"My King, she's too weak, we can't risk starving her, she might pass out before King Demons, arrives." Tommy lets his words out without pausing.

"Do what I fucken say! And get the hell out of my room." he gets  frantic and Tommy rushes out immediately, not to piss him further, because his anger is like that of twenty angry men, bundled in one.

"The King will be here shortly," Tommy announces as soon as he reaches the dinning, to the king's children who are already ready to eat, then he leaves.

His children are impatiently waiting for him to come so that, they can start eating as they do every morning. The King had insisted on always having breakfast with all his family members, as he believes that it will bring them closer to each other. But Is he right?...

The King finally gets to them.

"Good morning Dad." his only son Kidron greets and he remains perched on his seat, while his daughter Elgin, runs to the King, hugging him tightly."Good morning Daddy."

"How are you this morning, my baby girl?. how does it feel to be 18yrs?" he walks with her and they take their respective seats.

"Dad, it's just been seven hours since I turn to my new age, not forgetting that I was asleep all through and I just got up. Haha, so I don't know how it feels yet, but I feel the air is different today, filled with surprises." Elgin happily says.

"Happy new-age Kid sister and I'm happy that you are not in a sickbed this time around."

"Indeed, Kidron my lovely Elder brother. Indeed. Talking about the sickbed, since I recovered, I have been having the same dream over and over again, and it seems so real like I was living it's reality myself." she gets frightened by her own words as she explains.

Elgin has been sick since her birth, when she gets better, another illness submerge, she has consulted many doctors since birth yet no positive results. She celebrated all her birthdays on a sickbed. Just a few days ago, she was very sick that she couldn't work but by the grace of the moon god, she recovered before her birthday.

"What do you see in your dreams?" Kidron wishes he could do more to help his fragile kid sister, who has never had the opportunity to enjoy the outside world like other kids. All she knows is the four corners of her room, always there as of she was trapped in a mouse cage.

"Enough of these lamentations around me, today is a great day. For the first time, your sister is celebrating her birthday with us" the king looks into her eyes, as he touches her cheeks.

"And we have to throw a big party for my little princess. Tommy make all the necessary arrangements for a great party tonight." the kings happily announces as he gets up from his seat "Cheers to Princess Elgin" they all lift their cups, then he sits down.

"Its a very good idea, Dad." Kidron happily drinks.

"And for you don't just drink and fuck all my servant, find yourself a wife." Elgin couldn't help it, as she chuckle at her father's words.

"Dad, Elgin can hear you... Oh!" Kidron is happy to see her smile and they all laugh loud.

After the long breakfast, the king retires to his chambers, while Kidron and Elgin strolls around the environment of the palace.

"Princess, the tailor is waiting for you." A maid approaches them. The maid smiles at Kidron, then lower her stare with a blush. "I will be there in a few minutes." Elgin turns to see her brother smiling discretely.

"You can leave now?" she turns back to the maid with a frowning face. And she leaves immediately.

"I have to leave now, my beautiful Elgin." he perks her on the forehead "Don't hesitate to tell me if you need anything, I mean anything. Just the word and I will offer it to you."

She sadly lower her stare to the ground. He notices it. Anyway, she wanted him to notice it. "Is there anything you want to ask me?" he asks as she excepted him to.

"Yes, brother. Yesterday, I wanted to see the princess in the cage but the guards won't let me in. I know you can do this for me, they all respect you as much as they respect Dad. I just want to see her and nothing else. she keeps faking a dismal glance and puts on a catty look."

"If this is all that you need, I will see to it once I get back from my appointment." he falls for it.

"No, I want to see her now. Perhaps tomorrow might be late, you best know my condition and you know that it doesn't drop a notification before coming." she plays the emotional card, taking advantage of her sickness.

"Okay... Let go" Kidron has no choice but to satisfy his beloved kid sister.

At Kidron's words, Elgin immediately picks up a small woody tray, she runs to the kitchen, puts a piece of bread, cheese, and an apple. Without wasting any time, she's back.

"Wow, just for a prisoner?. This is really generous" Kidron barely chuckles as they walk to the cell. "Remember what mum used to say!" Elgin retorts with a huge smile.

"Open the door. When next she comes here, grant her access immediately. She is the princess of this kingdom and she deserves to be respected."

"Ok, my prince. But the king insisted that, no food should be given to the prisoner." the guards bow in reverence.

Kidron throws an unfortunate stare at his sister, she immediately understands the sign, then she drops the tray at the entrance before she moves in.

While she gets in, Kidron remains outside. "Don't stay too long. I'm gone" he says as he watches her getting in.

"Don't you want to see the princess?. You told me that you have never seen her?." she turns back to him in surprise, she thought he would follow her.

"Unfortunately, I'm late for my appointment already, I guess some other time?. Now go and see her." with that said he leaves. Elgin gives up on convincing him and she moves in to see Eve.

"My King, you send for me?" Maryline barges into King Demons room. Ishee watching her keenly like she could disappear at any instant.

"You can leave us Ishee, all of you should leave us." they all move-out on the king's instruction.

"Where were you last night?. Don't you dare lie to me, your King?" the king gets up from his bed and he moves to Maryline who is trembling in her heart.

"You are not my King. Late King Edward was. Perhaps, your son will be the next king of this kingdom but never will you reign or rule this kingdom when I'm alive." She swallows her fear and she keeps her head upright and the king hates this her air.

He frantically, grabs her hair so tightly, pulling her to the back then slowly draws her close to meet his face. So close to his face.

"You are hurting me Demon." she whimpers in pain.

"So damn what?. What do you think can stop me from killing you right now, after everything you've just said and all that happened in the past?. I thought you would have changed with time but I guess, you are static as the northern star. You keep babbling as if your opinions matter... You keep forgetting that you're just a slave and I can do whatever I want with you. Do I constantly, need to remind you of your status?" he cruelly mocks.

"You can kill me at anytime, and I know that well. But only a monster will dare kill the mother of his child, cold blooded, without even giving her a chance to defend herself?." Maryline plays her last card.

"I killed my late wife and I can still do that again." he presses her neck, so tight that he lifts her above ground level. "Whenever I send for you, make sure you show up because next time I won't tolerate this."

He lowers her to the ground, with his hand still tightly attached to her neck, as he looks her in the eyes and harshly merged his lips with hers in a romantic tone.
