The Eternal Kingdom ✔️

Episode 18

Guys, I was having a confusion on whose POV I should write on, so I picked Erica's . She'll give you the information you need.

Grab a soda because this chap is all the way.

Erica's POV

I blinked my eyes a couple of times to see I was in the donjon. I tried sitting back up but my spine hurts.

When I finally sat up, I was greatful my spinal cord didn't break. I quickly rested my back on the wall to process every little thing.

It's a pity how Steven trust Nika with all the information he has. It was also a slap on my face to know that Nika had the slightest idea of me wanting to kill Steven.

I want Steven to suffer but not this ways. Because this way was going to cost Emma's life.
Why can't he listen to me? Why can't they see they are blindfolded?
Why can't they think and do the right thing?

I questioned myself.

There will have to be some other way. Something at least.

I was left in the donjon for a week with no food but only water.
I decided not to drink it because it might be poisoned.

After one more week, Emma's life would be taken away. Heavens, please tell me what to do.

"If it isn't Erica the exposer." I heard her voice but didn't reply

"You lost. You lost big time. You should have been wise enough to keep your mouth shut. After Steven and I's wedding, you'll be eliminated. Why try to safe your enemy? When this is the right time to make him suffer?" She questioned with a smirk as I glared at her.

"Yes your right, I'll kill Emma. She'll be dead in a weak time. She's weak, she can't breath she's so lifeless now and now she'll die. Then I'll come after granny and she'll die too. This will all happen because of Steven's negligence." She told me and laughed out loud.

"Alright go tell the whole word what I said. No one. I mean no one will believe you stupid and useless human. Why don't you make it easier yourself to die now." She spoke heartlessly and left.

"Just know that you'll die, I'll make sure of that." She told me leaving the donjon arena.

I don't want Emma to suffer, she's suffering already. Nice ma'am Lucy will die regardless she doesn't like my kind. Why can't I think of something to do?

3 days to go and it would be Steven and Nika's engagement party. Maybe by then Emma would be dead.

I apologies father, my mother and sisters that I couldn't save a nice soul.

"Erica." A voice called my name.
"Erica." It called again as I raised my head to see Linda and Rosa standing outside the bar.

Suddenly my eyes sparkled with joy. They didn't forget me here.

"We're so so sorry for not coming to see you earlier. We were finding ways to distract the guards." Rosa told me.

"No worries no worries." I replied trying to calculate what I could do to save Emma.

This was an opportunity and it isn't going to waste.

"I heard what happened, Rosa and I know you wouldn't. Lady Nika is up to no good." Linda told me.

"Can you help me out?" I requested.

"Anything." Rosa replied.

"What are friends for by the way." Linda added.

"Listen. Go to the market Rosa. I want you to get me an elephant grass, nut meg and a sachet of milk. Those ingredient should be brought with a mortal, a pestle and a bowl by tomorrow." I told her as she nodded in agreement.
