When Beauty Destroys The BL World

Fate

"Really? Who then?" The Nebun Mother asks.
"I will tell you, if you stop this madness game of yours!" Irene snapped at her. The Nebun Mother face darkened.
"What a hell ways to spoils such fun. Why do you think I will listens to you?"
"You want to know my worth right, if I'm dead right now then that will be your loss. Cause you will never know how much you would have gain or lost. You're a business woman, you should know that term." Irene remind her. That annoys the hell out of Nebun Mother.
She gave a signal to her goons.
The lion is pulled back inside it's caged, which is a relief to the 15 young men, while it's a bummer to the onlookers above. It can be heard their voice of disagreement and dissatisfaction.
"Done, little princess. You better give me some info that worth disappointing my customers."
Finally, Irene feel the sense of relief. She let go of the shattered glass.
"The one who wants me dead is my brother." She said.
"Your own brother?" The Nebun Mother looks unconvinced.
"Yes, he will do anything to eliminate me. For he thinks I'm a threat to his success of the dukedom. You wouldn't know how many time he tries to kill me in any means necessary."
Listening to what she said, the Nebun Mother nods her head, as in digesting such information.
"Interesting. Then who might want you alive? Your fiancée?" The Nebun Mother took a guess, in amusement.
"Yes."
"Really?" The Nebun Mother look surprised.
"You might not believe it, because of the rumour. But the truth is...Nickolai love me." It took her a while to said such lies.
Irene feels so repulsive in the inside, even saying the male lead name sent shiver through her veins though she remains calm on the outside.
The Nebun Mother looks at her as if it was a shocking revelation.
"The rumours you may heard is actually Nickolai plans. Because he didn't want anyone to know his weaknesses. Me. That's why no one knows, that the crown prince is actually protecting me." Irene said.
"If the crown prince cherish and loved you, why would you choose to runaway? Shouldn't you be happily married by now?" The Nebun Mother questions.
"Because...I don't have any feelings towards him. I never thought of marrying him. I don't have the freedom to do what I want. I'm a just a bridge to my father success in this union. That's why I ran." She said half the truth according to the story of the novel.
The Nebun Mother then lay back on the couch as she chuckles.
"Hmm...such big information. The crown prince true desires. And that's regarding about your safety. You're willing to tell me all of that...just to save the slaves. The bunch of strangers??"
Hearing that, Irene couldn't said anything. The Nebun Mother stand up from the couch and then approaches her.
"Hahahaha...oh little princess. How naive of you. You thought just because of your act of kindness today, would make any different? You're just buying them time. Tomorrow would still be the same. And then, they will meet their ends at the very same cage." She lean in and whispers on Irene ear.
Irene shudders. But still, tries to remains calm.
The Nebun Mother smiles as she looks closely at Irene.
"Indeed...you're different from the said rumours. No wonder the crown prince wants to hide you for himself..." The Nebun Mother gently caressing Irene's hair.
"...who wouldn't desire such a beauty and kind hearted person." Then the Nebun Mother took the lock of her hair as she took sniff out of it. As if it was the most wonderful fragrances. Irene who is scared silly, didn't dare to move or say anything.
"Well then, princess. I should usher you back to your chamber. Where you could have a rest while waiting for you fate."
"Escort the princess." The Nebun Mother orders her guards.
Irene had to follow them. As she walks, she saw slaves in chain was push to go some path. Some of them are children. With guards ordering them to walk through it.
Irene force herself to look away. Because there nothing she can do to save herself let alone other people. Her fate is sealed. For she is powerless.
