The War Princess Book II

Chapter 234: Blood Bond

"What did you say?! That maid...!?"

"Thyr...is the one that ordered her to..."

Astarth clenched her fists on her chest. She knew Prita well, she is the loyal maid of Liliana. She never left her side. To find out that she work under Thyr's order are a shock to her.

"She never left her mistress side... it's quite unbelievable that she actually have a contact with Thyr..."

"Will...Allen have to be executed, Mother...?"

Zils asked and her tears fall.

"My child...that's..."

A realization fall to Astarth. The law dictated so...Thyr has instructed the murder and Allen is his kin. Even Thyr's mother will be subjected to an execution. A pain in her chest grow. She adore Allen eventhough he is not from her blood.

"I...what should I do?" Zils feel her world crushed away as she heard Remi's explanation. Thyr is the one that orchestrated her child's murder. She is more than ready to spill blood for revenge...but not when the other party's is Allen...

"Zils, my child, that law...Vrag can make an exception as a King..."

Zils look at Astarth.

"You know you can talk to him. But I want to know how you feel about Allen...Do you hate him?"

"No...! I will never hate Allen..."

"Even when he is the child of the man who is responsible for your child's death?"

"He is also Marsya's and she is innocent for what Thyr has done...and so is Allen...I was with him since he was born...I...I can't imagine hurting him..."

"I care about that child as much as you did, my child..."

Astarth look with Zils emphatically. She understands the bond that they have with Allen

"I will go with you to talk to Vrag." She stand up from her chair.

"Mother..."

"Where is he?"

"He is interrogating the maid as far as I know."

"I'm sure he will understand. He care for Allen as his own...let's talk to him after his interrogation finished."

"Your Majesty..."

Emil's voice is ringing on Vrag's ears. He feel annoyed by everything.

"I said everyone get out!"

Emil stand still at his position, seems to be in conflict on what to do. Remi was holding Allen with fear in her eyes. Vrag came to the nursery with Emil. Emil obviously have worried expression on him.

"Your Majesty, please have mercy!" Remi kneeled on the floor immediately.

"Put him on the bed and get out. Or do you want me to cut your hand!?"

Remi was crying hard as Vrag look at her with cold stares. Emil approach her and help her stand. She was shaking as Emil guided her to the edge of the bed.

"Put him on the bed, Remi..." Emil whispered. Remi shake her head violently.

"Sir Emil....please...help..."

Emil shake his head with apologies written on his face. He calmly take Allen from Remi and put him on the bed.

"Gah?" Allen stare at the two with interest. Emil dragged Remi out of the room.

"My Prince...!" She cried and call to Allen as she was put behind the closed door.

"You too, Emil...out."
