The First Princess of Averlyon

Chapter 24- A deal is a deal

"Let me out!" You scumbags! How dare you do this to me!" Screams were heard coming from the third floor.

No maid dared to visit that bedroom.

Although the voice was that of a woman, it sounded like the roars of a hungry lion. If you made one mistake, you could be eaten alive.

"Let me the fuck out! Spoiled princess! Old lady! Let me go right now!" Zahra repeatedly yelled but in vain.

Even though the night had passed, no one came to unlock the door. Unlike the previous time, Emera did not bring food to meet Zahra.

No maids entered the bedroom to lift the curtains. Nor did they clean up the mess Zahra had made.

There were broken pieces of vases, torn mirrors and other sharp objects on the floor.

Zahra could barely walk across the small clean space. She might step on a broken glass anytime. However, she was too preoccupied to care about hurting herself.

The person she loved was taken away by the police just the way her father was taken away. Even after becoming a princess, she was still as helpless as she was when she was just an ordinary girl.

"What's the use of being a princess if I can't even save the people I love?!" Zahra cursed herself, kicking the broken pieces on the floor.

"Ah!" she groaned, a small piece of glass stuck in her feet.

"Great!" She sarcastically scoffed and walked to her bed. She took a seat and pulled out the broken glass.

She was used to such small pains after all. She needed to often take care of her wounds on her own. Whenever she would get hurt while escaping, she couldn't let Aziel know about her wounds or else he would know about it. Hence, she had to take care of it on her own.

Zahra limped on her left leg and grabbed a napkin to clean the blood with it.

"Thank god, it's not too much!" she exclaimed. "Anyways, I need to make that old hag come here as soon as possible," Zahra mumbled and grabbed her hair brush. She then threw it on the door.

No one came to check.

Then she threw a bottle of oil on the door.

No response.

She gritted her teeth and grabbed a vase placed a little further.

Just as she was about to throw it, the door slowly opened.

Xahra rejoiced for a second however she quickly made her smile disappear. She needed to look strong and keep control over her emotions.

"If I seem too happy, they might trick me into doing something I don't want to," she mumbled.

"Princess Zahra," Emera walked into the bedroom.

Just as she was about to take another step, she retreated her step once she noticed the pieces of glass on the ground.

"Clean this up, fast!" Emera ordered the guards who stood beside the door.

Zahra who didn't know there were guards in front of her bedroom all this time, looked at him shocked.

"Do not act too shocked. I was the one who surrounded your bedchambers with guards just in fact you try to escape. To be honest, I'm shocked that you didn't escape but only created a ruckus. I should say I was surprised," Emera sarcastically said.

Zahra raised an eyebrow, unable to understand what Emera was trying to say. She was the kind of person who didn't understand people beating around the brush too much. She liked to be straightforward and she liked straightforward people.
