When Beauty Destroys The BL World

Chapter 85~Disclosed~

"Your highness...please....please just say something. Anything...." Libby grew anxious due to her young lady silence treatments.

After what happened last night, Irene becomes desolate and quiet.

She usually....always tries to converse with Libby. But now, only silent filled the place.

The Queen who heard about what happened from her inside people, went to see her.

She saw her niece in a fetal position. Leaning down on her knee and wrapped in herself.

Seeing her like that, emphasizes the self-protective mode that she put on.

As if that could make her escape the painful reality.

Looking at her niece state, the Queen felt a pang of sadness and guilt in her heart.

"Irene..." The Queen called out.

But Irene remains unresponsive. Refused to look up.

Only wrapped in herself tightly.

The Queen knew, her niece is not in a good state to talk.

She didn't wish to trigger her, so she could only relay her words.

"I came to tell you. That...you don't have to worry anymore...no one will hurt you again. That man...won't hurt you no more. You and Libby will be moved together into another different prison cell." The Queen said.

Still, Irene remains still in her position. The Queen wasn't sure whether her niece is listening.

"The date of the trial has been set forward. We won't longer need to wait for long. Till then no one will ever laid a hand on you. I promise you that you will get out this place. Just that...I only hope and wishes that you can still find the will and strength to hold on..."

"....and I won't able to see you till the day of the trial. So please...Dacia, stay strong till then. I can't live myself to see you completely giving up." She continues.

Nevertheless, Irene remains unresponsive. As if none of her words reached to her.

The Queen heart ached with more remorse. She knows too well that her niece had suffered.

A delicate and noble woman in this harsh, traumatizing, and isolating prison. One could never be the same person ever again.

"I'm sorry..." The Queen couldn't help but shed tears.

Maybe she shouldn't have agreed to the marriage match between her niece and the crown prince.

Her family Wickson were a power hungry people. She was force to join as the candidate for the king concubine after the death of the late Queen.

Forcing her to climb up a higher position, which is...being the Queen of the Loistava nation.

Nothing but pain and loss for her to reached to where she is now.

And the same thing, happened to her niece.

His brother told her to match up Dacia to the king's only son, just so he can gain a higher rank and status.

He never care about his daughter well-being, he only care for his own self.

But she can't fully said that this is solely her brother fault. She's also partly to blame.

She had been lonely in the palace, with no one trust, not even the king, her own husband.

But with Dacia, a closer kin. She had bonded with her.

Since she is childless, being with her niece brought out her maternal instinct. That was the day she felt...not so alone anymore.

This is why she had agreed to their match. Hoping to have Dacia by her side when she marry the king's son, despite the crown prince unwillingness.

With the crown prince deemed her as an enemy, it's highly unlikely he would treat Dacia her niece as his wife.

Even sending his own wife to the prison. He had completely branded Dacia as a criminal even without the trial.

It seems that Nickolai was determined to destroy Dacia. Her sanity and her innocence.

Because of her own selfish desire, she had thrown her niece to a down road path of hell.

And that is something she will feel sorry to Dacia for the rest of her lives.

After the Queen left, Irene and Libby were taken to a different prison.

Libby stay by her young lady side.

"Your highness..." Libby called out.

Irene didn't speak at all. Only silent and staring in an empty space ahead.

Libby watches her with anguish. It breaks her heart to see her young lady state.

It's the same as in the dukedom back then. Like....something inside of her had shattered. Her eyes, once sparkling, now held a dim, almost extinguished light.

The silence that surrounds her, it was as though her young lady had drowned herself in an abyss. Isolating herself from the real world.

Libby felt so utterly useless. She had once again failed to protect her young lady.

For she know, there's nothing she could do to save her young lady from her agony.

After a day's has passed, Lucas had finishes his solitude pray and finally left the pray room.

With knights on his side, Lucas head back to the temple.

He see that the preparation for the Goddess ceremony has almost finished.

Just as he done checking everything, he noticed that Michael was waiting for him.

Michael then approaches him.

"Lucas....I need to tell you something. It important, please." Michael plead.

Looking at his desperate expression, Lucas relented.

"What is it?" He asks.

Michael see that the knights wouldn't budge and remains on Lucas side.

"This is something I wanted to tell you in private." He pressed.

Lucas turn around to see the knights behind him.

"Wait for me outside." He ordered.

Hearing that, the knights obeyed.

Seeing that only both of them in that room, Michael waste no time to tell him.

"You told me before about Irene...your betrothed."

Lucas eyes flickered. He didn't expected that Michael mentioning his late fiancée.

"And that you never saw her face, right?"

Lucas just remains quiet as he looks at him, with a questioning gaze.

Taking a deep breath, Michael brace himself.

"Your fiancée....she's is not the person who you think she is."

"What do you mean?" Lucas looks confused.

As agitated Michael currently feeling about telling Lucas and the consequences of revealing this, he is more worried that he will regret it for the rest of his life if he doesn't.

"I know this will sound unbelievable, but...Irene, your fiancée. She's alive. And she is the crown princess." Michael reveals.
