Chapter 31: Chapter 31
Elvyra's POV
I took a deep breath then stood up to follow Grandpa as he held me on Tita liana's arm.
"Princess Samara ... You don't have to pressure yourself. You're in training," Tita
I just smiled at her, "I can handle this. Thank you Tita,"
"We're proud of you princess," Lola said
"You feel me there Vy!" Ly
I laughed and shook then followed Grandpa from where he came out. Because I don’t memorize the place. Lady Son helped me get to Grandpa's room. I went inside while they stayed outside.
"Grandpa,"
He sat down in the swivel chair and folded his hand. He was staring at me seriously and there was no trace of emotion on his face. This ... this is the king in front of many people. One brave, one word and wise.
"Last night, at exactly 12:00 AM. A group of men plant a bomb in a residential area which contains hundreds of innocent civilians. After the bombing all people near the bombing site were declared dead. No one survive," he said.
I was almost weakened by what I heard but I didn't notice it. I should be more courageous in this situation.
"After so many years. We still had no idea who did this mess that causes thousand of lives every year but we believe that the mastermind behind this was those who are responsible with your mother's death. Those morons!"
My eyes widened as Grandpa landed on his chest. I immediately attended to him there and rubbed his back.
"Calm down. Don't ... don't worry about the past. I don't want you to disappear because of those people,"
I clenched my fist in fury, "If the general can't find a way to find out who's behind this. Give me permission grandpa so I can solve it myself,"
"You can't be serious Samara! This aint your problem! I won't never allow you to solve this risky case ----,"
"No further explanation Grandpa. When I finish the trainings. I myself will find the person who will do this to my mother as well as to the people who were affected by the General's help,"
I moved slightly away from her then sat in the chair opposite her, "No princess ----,"
"We're here again. I can do this Grandpa. Stop treating me like a princess. I can handle myself just fine. I know I won't be ruined and have a hard time," I said meaningfully.
"What are you trying to imply?"
"We won't have a hard time figuring out who did this because he's just inside the palace. I can smell his stench so I'll prove to everyone who he is in his fancy clothes. I promise I'll punish everyone who betrayed the palace and I'll do that, "
Because I grew up with one word
Luhence's POV
I raised my head up from the thick bunch of files in table when someone knocked in my door. Nash walks in with his famous bored look. I narrowed my eyes at him.
"Where is she?" I asked him in dead voice
I haven't heard a thing about my lady in a past few weeks since my father forbid me to go out from our country. We had a total argument about marrying Princess Christine. He keeps insisting that I must marry her or the lost princess but I don't want to choose neither of them!
I had my lady blue and only to her I will let myself get tied!
Not with those princesses that I don't even love!
In the end, I won but he gave me month to figure things out or else he'll going to disown me and for the first time, I don't care anymore. I care more in what my lady was probably thinkin right now. I care too much that it might send me to insanity.
"She's nowhere to be found. The house were closed and she's not going to university anymore even Lily. I asked some few students but they don't know her. Weird. She just disappeared like a bubble," Nash
My jaw clenched in frustations, "Where the hell she is? She can't just disappear like that!" Im getting to start angry
For the past three weeks of searching for her secretly, she was still unfound! Is she that mad at me?
"I knew this was a very rude assumptions Prince Dwight but what if she died in the bombing last 2 weeks ago? It was near her universit ---,"
"Shut the f-ck up!" I shouted angrily and slapped my hand in the table
He looks taken aback but my glares didn't falter. No! She can't be dead! My lady was alive! Breathing! Maybe she was just somewhere. Hiding! But she can't be dead!
"I'm sorry your majesty. I didn't mean to anger you," Nash
I sit back and send him out which he immediately obey. I sighed and closed my eyes.
"Where are you my lady? I wished you're not with someone because ... no one knows what could I do if you were,"
Elvyra's POV
I opened two large glass doors on the balcony and stood there. The breeze is cold. Perfect to give me a chance to think clearly.
One week
One week had passed but I already perfected everything. Because I already know a lot of things about being a princess. I no longer had a hard time following what they taught me.
Now I have done all the exercises properly. The rest of my time I focused on investigating Minister Costomo. I have a suspicion that he was involved in the bombings that were happening, especially in the invasion of the kingdom that was the reason for the death of my real mother. When I proved that he was involved.
I will make sure he suffers!
But for now. I have to be careful with what I do so I do it myself even against my grandfather's will. I was brought back to my senses when my cellphone rang, which I used to call General William as well as my orders who were currently in their positions to watch. I approached there and quickly picked up my phone.
"Where is he now?" I have a serious question
[I saw two men near the palace majesty. What are we going to do? We seem to be their target]
"Make sure they can't plant the bomb and get stuck. Get them on both knees. I'll get you there!" I have an authoritative command
I turned off the call and quickly left the room with my cellphone. I motioned to the two soldiers guarding my room. Because of my fast running, that made caution in the hallway.
"Prepare the horse and weapons. Five of you will come with me," I commanded with authority
They quickly complied and brought me a white horse. I expertly climbed there and then put the katana on my back and a cloth that would cover half of my face. I don't care if I'm dressed right now. When the gate opened, I quickly ran the horse towards what Zayro, the assassin I trusted, was saying.
When I heard a series of gunshots. I know those people are in a hurry to leave, thank you very much and Zairo is there to stop them. When I got to the source of the gunfire. I was exposed to two men lying on the ground with bullet wounds to the knees.
Their eyes widened and they were able to stand but because of the bullet hit. They just fell to the ground. I took the katana behind me and applied its blade to the neck of one of the men.
"M-have mercy on me !!!"
"Mercy? Did your mastermind ever feel that when he told his assassins to bomb a residential area that killed hundreds of lives huh?" I asked coldly
"Who are you? If you can imagine who you are brave! You're just a mean girl ----," replied a man
I couldn't finish what he was going to say when I grabbed him by the collar and pushed him hard into the tree and then stepped on his knee with a gunshot wound. She screamed in pain.
"Who am I?" I stuck the tip of my katana around her neck "I am just the Queen of the Ihmapuleya you are messing around and when you don't tell me who ordered it. I will remove the heads of those two and throw them in front of the kingdom as a sign to those who dare to kill the citizens of my kingdom! "
They are like dumb people who can no longer speak in shock and fear. When they recovered, they knelt down together and apologized, but I did not pay attention to them. I ordered the two soldiers to put them in the dungeon that was still underground and then turned to Zairo who was walking towards me. He even covered half his face with a black cloth.
"How did you know they were here?" I will ask
"Easy. I put cameras everywhere so I can tract them down. I have some evidences againts him and we can use those two to prove this. Then boom! He's messed since you are the Queen. No one will oppose your order, madness," Zairo
"I know," was my short reply
We were stopped by the sight of some soldiers on horseback and carrying torches. I sighed when I saw Grandpa who was obviously furious.
"What's happening here Samara !?"
He is really angry
I bowed slightly in respect, "I have arrested two people I know were involved in the bombing in the southern part of Ihmapuleya. I already have strong evidence,"
William suddenly interjected with obvious shock on his face, "How did you do that? I took several years but I didn't catch one of them!"
"Because they are guarded and the people inside the palace were manipulated!" I turned to Grandpa "I'll take care of this Grandpa. You'd better just rest. You're not in good health yet," I said worriedly.
"I can handle myself Samara but you? I cant stop myself to worry about you're being!" Lolo
I sighed, "I'm safe. Zairo and General William are by my side for my protection so don't worry. What good is my combat training if I don't use it. Isn't it? ? " I'm joking
Grandpa just stared at me but that's okay with me. I invited them to return to the palace. Since Zairo did not have a horse, I put him on my horse first and I followed him. Some lights were on inside the palace when we arrived because of the chaos that had occurred earlier when Grandpa and William came out to follow me.
"What's happening? Samara?" Aunt Liana asked
If you notice why they only call me Samara. Because that's what I want them to call me except for Ly who Vy padin calls me. I get annoyed every time they call me Queen Samara, especially since they are my relatives.
I want to be normal if it's just us.
"We caught two of the bombers but we're fine. First go with Grandpa to Tita's room so he can rest. I don't want to attack him again because his body might not be able to handle it," I said worriedly.
She smiled concernly at me before she nodded, "Okay. Take care Samara," Tita
"I will Tita. Please rest," I said
I walked into the conference room with Zairo and General William. When they sat there I began to speak.
"Is he the only one or is there someone else who is helping him to carry out all his plans?" I will ask
"I don't have a lead majesty but I will try to find out. The important thing now is that we have solid evidence against him," Zairo
I turned to General William, who obviously surprised the two of us. They don't know anything about my plans and what I'm doing. Only I, Zairo, know. More who know. More dangerous.
"Tighten security throughout the palace whether outside or inside. Then prepare some of our best soldiers. They will fight in the war,"
Though confused he nodded, "Yes, your highness. I will take care everything,"
"Don't let those two juice. Clean their wounds. I need them alive," I ordered
"Yes your majesty. I'll take my leave now," he informed
I nodded to him then he went out the door. I turned to Zairo.
"The assassins? Are they complete?"
He smirked coldly, showing his true personality, "Yes, your majesty. They're almost done with the trainings,"
Nodded to him, "Good. Next week. I'll need them,"
"Are you sure about them, your majesty?" Zairo
I averted my eyes and sighed, "I'm not a bad person Zairo but I learned that if you don't fight they fight the way they fight. There's no way you can win. Yeah. That's the reality,"
"If that's the case. I'll be right by your side, Queen Samara."
