Lovisa's Pov-

Few days passed, I don't know anything about my kingdom... I can do nothing but just pray for the people, my sisters... Suddenly I heard a voice calling," Where are you dear?" and I knew it was Miss Catheline..."I am here." I replied back.

I swear, she's the sweetest person, I have after met after Alda.

"Are you tired dear?" she asked being concerened.

"Just a bit,but I can manage it." I replied.

"No, We can take a little break" she said and we sat down there , she offered me some fresh berries to eat.

We were collecting woods, some for our fireplace and some to sell in the market.

"These berries are delicious." I said.

"I know right, that's because they are fresh and directly plucked from the trees." she replied.

Thinking about Noa, automatically bought tears to my eyes.

"You're thinking about your little sister,aren't you?" she asked.

I noded my head in return, she put her hand on my head and said, " Don't worry, she'll be alright ok, look after yourself first."

I again nodded my head.

BACK AT THE PALACE-

The courtroom was full with the supporters of Eldrick along with his brothers.

The door opened, which revealed Aiden bowing before him. He signed some gaurds to bring Quinn inside.

Eason shut his eyes hard, seeing Quinn drenched in blood with scars and bruises all over him...

Connoly looked at Aiden with a horrifying expression and Aiden nodded at him.

"So, how's the matter?" Eldrick spoke out.

"My lord, the gaurds have been trying hard but he is not ready to spit out anything about the locket from his mouth." Aiden spoke.

He continued, " I beg your pardon my lord, but I think he really doesn't know anything about it." 

"Being the commander in chief, you're feeling pity over the enemy?" Eldrick said sternly looking at  him.

Before Aiden could say something, he spoke again," Take him and torture him till he spits out everything, just don't kill him."

Aiden bowed and ordered the gaurds and then he took a seat beside Connoly and Eason.

Eason was shivering...

"Tell me about the dungeons Connoly" Eldrick ordered.

Connoly stood up and said, " My Lord, the people trapped there are following our orders and everything's running smoothly besides that-"

"BESIDES WHAT??!!" Eldrick shouted making everyone gulp their saliva.

Connoly said, "Noa and Revena, won't it be better if we treat Noa ?"

Aiden and Eason stared at each other and then at Connoly in disbelief.

"What do you mean to say??" Eldrick asked.

" My lord, yesterday Revena asked me to torture her and said that there's nothing left with her anyways,so she doesn't  care whatever we do.. If we cure Noa, she would have one reason which would make her weak and -"

Before Connoly could complete, Eldrick spoke, "and then we could enjoy watching her suffer, I would love to watch Revena cry and kneel down on her knees. It would be so satisfying..."*evil laughs*

"So, my lord, do I have your permission?" Connoly asked.

"You have my full permission Connoly" Eldrick said.

Connoly bowed and left

"I am taking notes." Aiden and Eason said toghether.
