Chapter 50: Chapter 50

Samara's POV

The man's body fell to the ground after I slammed the gun I was holding on his head. I motioned for some soldiers to approach me. Without making a sound, I turned into a hallway and then knocked down two guards who were passing by. The soldiers with me moved quickly and set the corpses aside.

I opened the rooms one by one but the person I was looking for was not there. I gritted my teeth in annoyance. We had almost circled this place but my mother was not there.

"I can feel something here milady," Zairo said doubtfully

"I'm not going to waste any more time! Where's that old man?" I asked angrily

"Milady you need to calm d—"

I cut him off, "I can't just calm down here especially since I don't know where he is. I can't kill that daredevil because he only knows the whereabouts of the person I'm looking for,"

We are now in the stronghold of the leader of the rebels, if we will. I wasted no more time and the next night we rushed. Dwight doesn't know what I did because I don't want to hurt him. I don't want him to get involved in my plans because when something bad happens to him. I swear. I cannot forgive myself.

This battle is my responsibility and no other one.

I was getting impatient so we went around the whole place. I no longer hesitated and rushed to the room where their old leader was. I shoot the two guards alerting everyone and telling our presence.

"Milady! What if we fail?" Zairo asked

I turned to him, "Just follow the plans and we'll go get through this," I said while turning away

I loudly opened the double door that connected to the room where the man who had arrested my mother and tortured my father was in the crowd. The eyes met that moment. I could see the fear in his eyes but it also disappeared.

"Where is my mother?" I shout

He seemed to hear nothing of my question and leaned comfortably in his seat which made my blood heat up even more. How does he manage to be still calm?

"No wonder you're Magnus' son. From head to toe as well as tactics. It's exactly the same. But you're just as stupid when it comes to the people you love!" He stood up and smiled demonically. "Do you think so? I'll just give your mother like that dear queen? If that's what you're thinking. You're mistaken. I won't let you ruin the plan I've worked so hard for!"

"Just accept that you will not win the battle you started. Accept that my father is better when it comes to leadership. Even if I am removed from office. What you think will never happen. No one will accept you and the people of Ihmapuleya. , my people will definitely end you, "I said firmly

"And who deserves it? You? You woman? You don't deserve to be a leader because you're a weakling! Women should just be in the room and take care of the king's son. Follow the king and not be a leader! You're not deserves to be a leader and I will prove it! " He stood up straight and looked at me proudly. "So I challenge the designated queen of Ihmapuleya to a battle. If I win, you will hand over the throne to me and I will exile you to a distant place. You can never go back to Ihmapuleya!"

I stood up straight and gave him a deadly look. Against what he wants? Pwes, I'll give it to you. "And when I win," I pointed the gun I was holding at him. "I want your head in exchange for my winning,"

His nose almost smoked in annoyance, "Then, let's start the fight,"

***

I stared at the sword I was holding now. It shines with sharpness. It is as if it says it is ready to fight for the land of origin and protection. My grip tightened there before I looked at the old man in front of me now.

I'll make sure I beat you!

He rushed at me first and unleashed both attacks on my left and right. I acted fast and I was able to avoid that. He kept attacking as I often dodged and only attacked once. I carefully study each move and how it attacks the opponent.

"Fight back! Dear queen ?! Show us why you deserve to be the leader of Ihmapuleya!" It screams at me

I just looked at him and then avoided him again. He looked disgusted with what I did and unleashed a strong attack that I used to injure him on the side followed by an attack that wounded his arm. He screamed in pain before stepping backward to put some distance between us.

"I-You're a poor woman! You don't deserve it!" The desperation in its voice is obvious

"Being a leader is not about gender but about loving one's own kingdom. You are a man, strong when it comes to physical ability and capability but all those qualities are meaningless if you think only of yourself and not of the people. who depends on you! " I shout

In my subsequent attacks he was unable to escape. He kicked and punched me, causing him to lie down on the cement with the wounds I had made earlier. I point my sword in his chest where his heart was located.

"I am a woman but I can take care of Ihmapuleya more than myself and there is no one more deserving but me as a leader and not a selfish person like you," I sighed.

I expected him to surrender but a demonic laugh I heard on his lips. I remained calm as I stared at him.

"Pity your majesty but I do not accept defeat!"

I suddenly turned around in front of us surrounded by people who I knew were allies of the old man in front of me now. I was caught off guard when he kicked me causing for me to stumble in the ground. A soldier tried to help me but was stopped.

"That will not change the fact that a woman is not fit to be a leader. You weak creatures! You are just children! You have no right to lead Ihmapuleya because you are ignorant!" He shouted

Mouth moaned and slowly bet without taking my gaze away from him.

I grinned at him, "With what you're doing now. You're only proving that you're the fool here Xyrus,"

He laughed evilly before shaking his head, "How brave are you majesty? Can you see your loved one die in front of you? Can you choose one of them?"

My heart drums loudly in my chest when I see a woman with hair similar to mine. She was crying when she looked at me and my heart clenched in pain but it wasn’t just there that it ended when pulling another woman from behind.

"Lily!" I took a step but I was stunned when I felt the sharpness of Xyrus' sword on my neck. "You're an animal!" I could barely shout at him

"Who is more important to you, Your Majesty? Your mother whom you have not been with for a long time or your cousin whom you consider a true brother and a close friend," He brought his face close to mine with a demonic smile on his lips. . "Only one will live and one will die,"

"Iron!" Ly shouted as the sword landed on his neck. "I-I'm scared!" She cried and cried

I looked around at the two of them. I was thorn between my cousin and mother. I clenched my own fist. No! I have no choice between the two because they are equally important!

"Choose that, Your Majesty! If you don't want them both to lose you!"

I closed my eyes before tightening my hold in my sword, "That night the palace was attacked. You conspired with Minister Costomo so that you could enter the palace freely in exchange for handcuffs. You kidnapped my mother and made her dead by burning her another corpse. That night, Dad knew about Costomo's corruption so he hid me from everyone. You hid Mother for a long time and you are still not satisfied, "I looked up and met his gaze. I too a step forward then he step backward. "You made my father dead by putting medicine in his food to temporarily stop his heart and then told him in the bedroom position that he would not die forever! You brought them out dead so that Costomo could become prime minister which happened but did not agree. all in your plan because the palace was tighter and Grandpa and Grandma became adamant in their decision to look for me even though there was little hope of finding me. And it happened. Before I took my seat, I knew there was a mystery. happened in the palace and there Costomo came into the picture. I trace every every pattern very carefully and well. You didn't plan to revive my father but when you found out I ran away you thought you could use Father to overthrow me. But you are wrong. One You fool Xyrus. I knew about you from the beginning. You were the cause of the explosion, so that Dad could take me out of where he was hiding from me. You sent the assassin to k I left a scar on my back and I know that Father shot me inside the palace at your command. I know everything Xyrus and before I go here, "

I smiled coldly at him earning a afraid look in his face, "I know you took Lily because you knew in yourself that I couldn't. You just don't want to accept that to yourself. So talk and talk. I'm mine your head and you can't hurt the person who is important to me, "

He was startled when one by one his men fell to the ground bloody. He tried to escape but Zairo didn't let him to do that. He slice his flesh and grab his sword. She sat on the cement while crying in pain.

"You've been spying on me for a long time but you didn't even know that Ihmapuleya is one of the most dangerous kingdoms in the world,"

"Here milady," Zairo handed me a small container containing black liquid. "For the final touch,"

I turned back to Xyrus with an evil stare at me, "I want to cut off your head but I won't let your blood stain my sword. So I'll just give you poison. In return for everything I've done to me, to my family and the people you killed in your bombing of Ihmapuleya, "

I took off the cap before forcing him to drink the poison. I threw the container away then turned away from him. But I was stopped by the eye of the man I thought was in the palace.

"I always understand Elvyra but lying don't include with that,"

I froze when I see a glint of fury in his blue eyes.

"D-Dwight ... I'll explain,"
