Forgotten Wife

CHAPTER 26: PLEASE DON'T KILL ME

Rebecca was watching the sunset when she heard the footsteps of someone approaching, she turned to see who it was and was surprised to see the maid who had been bothering her.

-What are you doing here- She asked.

-I came to look for the princess, she hasn't been to the palace for days, I wondered what the reason was.

-Go away, you don't have to serve me here.

-I know, and that's not really what I came here.

That girl took out a knife she was hiding, Rebecca stepped back and said.

-What do you think you're doing- Rebecca asked frightened.

-Today I will kill the princess, no rather the beloved daughter of King Quin, I want him to suffer when he finds out that his beloved daughter is dead, I want him to feel the same way I felt when he killed my husband.

-Hey, I think you're making a mistake, my father doesn't care about me, if he did he wouldn't have sent me here, no one gives up his most beloved daughter.

-Maybe he does, maybe he doesn't, we'll see.

-Please wait, if you kill me, I'm sure King Setherian won't let it happen, he will punish you.

The woman began to laugh hysterically.

-Don't make me laugh princess, do you really think his majesty cares even a little bit about you, if he really cared about you you would be treated like a queen but he keeps calling you princess, he clearly doesn't consider you his queen, not even his wife since you haven't even had your first night together yet.

-That's not true, I sleep every day in the king's chambers.

-You said it, you just sleep, you haven't had your first night as a married couple yet, that's something everyone knows, I think if I kill you his majesty won't even notice it.

Rebecca stepped back a little more, the maid walked with long strides shortening the distance between them, she passed the sharp blade of the knife across her face and said to her.

-I think I will smash that beautiful face, I want to leave you the same way your father left my husband, unrecognizable, but I won't touch your hair, I want them to know it's you.

Rebecca was terrified, she began to tremble, she was afraid of what this woman was going to do to her.

-Please don't hurt me, I beg you, let me go- Rebecca begged terrified.

-Of course not, I won't let you escape.

The maid slowly lowered the knife down Rebecca's body, stopped at her heart and said.

-Shall I stab you in the heart first- she continued -or shall I cut you open?

Rebecca began to cry and with tears in her eyes pleaded.

-Please don't hurt me.

That woman seemed crazed, she pressed the knife against Rebecca's belly cutting the fabric of her dress and her skin slightly and said to her.

-Maybe I'll start here.

Rebecca tried to escape pushing her but she didn't even move, a black smoke started to envelop that maid, a shiver ran down Rebecca's back.

-Don't think you can escape from me- the enraged maid told her.

The servant buried the knife up to the hilt in Rebecca's belly and said with a smile.

-Dies.

Setherian had gone to look for Rebecca, when he arrived at the small house where she lived he saw that there was a servant girl with her, he felt something strange seeing that servant girl so close to Rebecca so he approached silently, but when he was close enough to them he saw fear, pure terror in Rebecca's look, with tears in her eyes she said in a whisper.

-Help me.

Setherian hurried up and said to the maid.

-What do you think you are doing?

The maid hearing the king's voice pushed the princess to the ground and ran away, Setherian seeing that the maid had stabbed the princess rushed to her aid, with tears in her eyes she repeated over and over again.

-I don't want to die, I don't want to die.

Setherian took her in his arms and said.

-And you will not die, I will not let you die.

After saying that Setherian used his wind magic to soar and fly to the main palace, when he arrived at the gates with the princess in tears he said.

-Bring a doctor.

Rebecca began to lose consciousness, everything became blurry and in the end she fainted, begging in her mind over and over to God to help her, she didn't want to die.

While the doctor was attending to Rebecca, Setherian sent the guards to look for the servant who had attacked the princess, while returning to his quarters to see how the princess was doing he met Romano on the way, he asked him very upset.

-How is the princess? I was told that someone attacked her.

-The doctor is attending her at the moment, he was going to check on her right now.

Setherian began to walk, Romano asked him as he followed him.

-The person who attacked her, have they caught her?

-Yes," Setherian answered and continued walking, when he reached her quarters he was waiting outside the room until the doctor came out.

-How is the princess?- Setherian asked as he saw the doctor come out.

-The wound was deep and she has lost a lot of blood, I did everything in my power, now we just have to wait for her to wake up.

After the doctor left Romano entered the room followed by Setherian, he took his hand and said.

-Why did they do this to him Seth?

-I don't know, but I'll soon find out.

-Will she be all right?

-I hope so, we need her to heal your injury.

Roman was annoyed at his brother's indifference and said.

-Are you serious, that's all you care about, don't you care what happens to her at all? She's your wife Seth.

-You don't think I don't care?

-That's what it sounds like, Seth.

-Well, you're wrong, Roman, I care about her more than you can possibly imagine.
