I couldn't believe my eyes, a tall woman who looks to be in her twenties with white hair was in front of me.
I bowed down "Queen S-Silver" I stuttered.
She grabbed my chin lifting my head, "So you're the beauty I have been hearing so much about"
"What brings you her your majesty" my heart started to race.
"Oh it's just you're not allowed to live out of the village, and you didn't fully pay your taxes" she smiled at me "a couple of birdies told me you live out here"
"It was the butcher, florist, and Mr. Woodwork wasn't it"
"you're not just beautiful, you're clever too"
She was still holding my chin, I hesitated for a second then slapped her hand. She held her hand to her chest, she blew steam.
"That man wasn't lying, that there's a hostile witch here" my eyes grew wide "ha you know what I'm talking about don't you"
She took two steps back and snapped her fingers, "I want her at the castle by the time my work is finished".
Her guards came out of nowhere and started to grab me. She got on a horse and glopped away.
"Let go of me damn it" they put a cloth over my mouth I started to feel dizzy, my eyes started to close "Let go of meeeee~"
***
"Maryyyyyyy" someone poked me "Mary Marylee, hey wake up"
I opened my eyes and jumped up from the sight of the queen's eyes. "Good you're awake"
"Before you even ask, you're in a dungeon" she said while putting on white gloves "You lived in a restricted area, and you assaulted a noble and the queen"
She grabbed a knife from a table, I tried to move but I was tied up. "P-lease don't hurt me" my voice became shaky.
"Oh it won't hurt" she rubbed her finger on my cheekbone "I'm going to enjoy this"
She untied my hands and grabbed one of my arms, she put the tip of the knife on arm and dragged the knife down.
I screamed at the top of my lungs, so much blood came out. "Shh~ this doesn't even hurt" I kept screaming I couldn't take it.
She took the knife out of my arm, she started to wipe my tears "don't cry it'll be over soon". She grabbed my other arm and dragged the knife my screams were indescribable.
"Next are your legs, then I'll wrap up with bandages"
I couldn't move my arm because of the pain, she untied my legs and grabbed one and put the tip of knife on it.
I closed my eyes in pain waiting for her to drag it down my leg. I screamed the moment she moved it, at that point I passed out.
***
I woke up with bandage on my arms and legs, she really did wrap me up. I look around the room was lit up with candles.
I'm laying on the cold floor, I took one wrong move and screamed. Tears started rolling down my face, I can't move I don't like being on the floor.
I shouldn't have slapped that man.
