EDITED..

PART 10: The heart of a slave.

Sky's POV:

The police men dragged me down to the courtyard as everyone were crying for their death. I faked a façade of indifference. Lady Julia stared at me with an evil smirk, I looked down at my feet and bit my lips to stop the tears. I couldn't watch the queen go to jail and suffer even if she was willing.

"Where is that demon from hell!?" the kings voice filled the air as the police stopped before him, he growled before grabbing my neck trying really had to choke me. Tears rolled down the corner of my eyes as they struggled to remove his hands from my neck, finally he released me as I tried to catch my breath.

"We would bury the bodies later today, let him stay for the burial" Prince Ronaldo said looking everywhere but at me. The police men nodded and took me to where he led them, my old room in the servant's quarters.

I was seated on my bed as they chained me to the bed, I know if my parents hear about this they would be so heartbroken and my siblings would never believe I would do it.

"Let me talk to him" I heard Lady Julia's voice say outside before the door opened to reveal the monster behind it with a big smile on her face.

"Well look what has happened" she said with a chuckle.

"Please Lady Julia, leave me be" I said lowly as I looked down at my feet, I was feeling strange like the body wasn't mine.

"Oh I can't do that, I just feel like rubbing it in your face that you lose and I win and nobody would be the wiser and know that I brought the gun" she said as she paced the room and laughed before she was gone.

DURING THE FUNERAL:

I watched as everyone stared at the grave sadly but Prince Ronaldo took it the hardest, he knelt down as he finally let the tears out. The queen tried to soothe him but he wasn't having it, suddenly he turned to look at me with hatred showing in his eyes.

"You!" He growled. "WHY DID YOU KILL HER!" I looked down at first to think of a lie to fit a reason so it could be believeable.

"ANSWER ME?!"

"I WARNED YOU ABOUT HIM BUT YOU WOULDN'T LISTEN TO ME, SO I DID THE FIRST THING THAT CAME TO MY MIND" I shouted back before biting my lips so I wouldn't cry. He growled as he grabbed my hair roughly then pulled it, it hurt but I stood still as I tried to stop the pain.

"I HATE YOU SO MUCH" with that said he pushed me to the floor and as if on instinct, I held my stomach in a protective manner before I was pulled up by the police. As I was being dragged away the queen stared at me strangely like she just discovered something, looking up at me, she smiled sadly and I was taken away.

Well I don't regret protecting the queen's image but it hurts so much what Prince Ronaldo said.

LATER:

They pushed me into a cell with an old man who was laying on the bed with blankets all around him. He was looking at me with a smile as he stood up and walked over to where I sat then spoke.

"Hello little one, I'm Loren and what brings you here?" he asked with a smile which encouraged me to answer.

"Hello sir, I'm Skylar" I replied as he nodded his head but he didn't ask again why I was here.

Time passed as I felt nauseous and light headed I rushed to the toilet at the corner and vomited everything I had eaten last night, his hand rubbed my back as he hummed before passing me a bowl of water and helping me towards the bed as he rubbed my head in a caring manner. 

"Do you want me to give you a check-up" he offered and I nodded and he smiled.

"Ok raise you top and relax" I did what he said as he smiled and began to press every part of my stomach, but I groaned when he pressed on the lower part of my abdomen. He looked up at me then chuckled and continued what he was doing.

"I see someone is with child" he said as he smiled and looked at me before adding, "So we have to take good care of you"

I should be shocked but I'm not, I felt as if it was natural and fine. I smiled and nodded as he covered me up and sat close to my feet.                                                                                               

Lady  Julia's POV:

Finally he is gone, and no one would know I was the one who took the king's gun up to the balcony. I truly wanted to kill him with it but this is better since he took the blame for what he didn't do.

Milan and I were talking at the balcony about who had killed the princess but we were interrupted by Prince Seth who asked why we were so happy. After narrating the truth to him, his eyes were as wide as saucers as he processed everything before he spoke.

"We can't let anyone find out about his sacrifice, so Julia since you have the minister's phone number call him and advise him to kill Sky for the death of his son" Seth said as Milan agreed with him. Ok, here goes nothing.

Queen  Micah's POV: (yeah yah) 

I watched them take him away as I began to cry, I KILLED MY DAUGHTER. Seating on my bed in my chamber, I cried to myself I can't let an innocent person take the blame for what I have done. I would have to confess but he told me not to worry, I looked at the recorder and rushed to hide it in one of the empty guest rooms behind a very big picture of the queen before me. I was too stressed out to listen to it at the moment. 

When I had left the room I went to that of my son to see how he was taking it, I knew he loves Skylar so much but now he was forming hatred for him which hurts me so much. I opened the door of his chamber, only to see him laying on the bed and clutching a pillow as he cried. I had to tell him the truth. 

Looking around before I locked the door and rushed to his side, I pushed his hair behind his ear as he looked at me with tears running down his face.

"Mama why would he kill her?" his voice was hoarse because of the shouting he had done at Sky.

"Son look at me" his eye were still unfocused but he let me speak. "Sky is innocent, please believe me he is innocent" I watched as he looked at me before shaking his head.

"Mama Stop trying to protect him" with that said he fell asleep. I cried as my son believes Sky would do such a thing. Oh Sky I do hope you are alright, then I remember how he clutched his stomach protectively I knew it then that he could be pregnant even if he doesn't seem to notice. Tomorrow I would bail him out and take him somewhere safe but for now I had to see him.

   

LATER:

As I got to the station, no one seem to notice I was there as I walked towards the commissioner's office which was opened as his back was to me, he was talking on his phone.

"Yes sir, don't worry sir, we would make it look like it was an accident" he said before he laughed and what he said got me leaving the office in a rush to see Skylar.

"IT WOULD BE ON THE NEWSPAPER THAT A SLAVE NAMED SKYLAR WHO WAS BEING TRANSFERRED TO ANOTHER PRISON DIED IN A CAR CRASH" I heard him say. 

I can't let this happen, I would have to bail him out earlier than I thought but first I would see him then tell Ronaldo to help him, I pray he would agree to. I stood in front of Skylar's cell as I saw a familiar face, but I can think of that later. Skylar saw me as he rushed and knelt on the floor before me with the cell bars separating us.

"Skylar dear stand up, I would get you out of here soon and take good care of that baby"

"How-w?" 

"Don't worry about that, I just need to take you back to Ronaldo" as I said that he began to sob as he shook his head.

"Whatever it was between us has turned to hatred" he said as I shook my head at him but didn't push any further.

"Okay dear, I would be back for you" he nodded as he waved and I left.
