The Bastard Queen ✔

XXXV.

"You know the one thing I couldn't understand was why King Oslo slept with you," Ko broke the silence

"I think the same as well," Katherine said, cutting at the rope

"He had Kana, but he cheated on her with you and then impregnated you. It's a good thing the bastard is dead," Ko said, polishing a knife

Katherine stayed silent, her vision becoming blurry. The mention of her child getting her emotional.

"Hey, why are you quiet?" Ko turned around to face her, "Is it because I mention your bastard?"

"My child is no bastard. He or she would be of royal blood as I'm the Queen and his father is a prince/king," Katherine spat out

"You are a bastard either way. Even if you were Queen, you're the Bastard Queen," He sneered, storming towards her and pressing the knife against her neck

"Are you going to kill me? I thought you were going to torture me for a while," Katherine asked, glaring at him

"You are wearing my patience. I can't believe I served you all those years. I should've just went ahead with killing you when I first saw you," Ko groan, pulling at his hair

"You should've, but then you would be dead as well," Katherine smirked

"Your father made a mistake for looking for you. He should've just let it go and let one of his royal blood children take over the kingdom," Ko twirled the knife

"I'm his first born whether I came from a peasant or royal. It's my birthright," Katherine yelled

"Shut up!" He shouted, stabbing Katherine in the thigh

Katherine screamed, tears stinging her eyes. She thrash in her chair, trying to forget the pain.

"See what you made me do! You made me lose my patience!" Ko yelled, "And you made me hurt you,"

"Wh- Fuck!" Katherine broke the rope and stabbed Ko in the stomach, he stumble back

Katherine hands tremble when she wrapped her hands around the knife and yanked it out. She bit her lips and started to cut the rope around her legs, but her chair was pushed back. Katherine gasping for breath as her stomach burned in pain. Ko grabbed a fistful of hair and lifted her head up.

"You fucking bitch!" Ko slammed her head down on the concrete
Katherine clawed at his face, wanting him to let go. She reached for the knife, but it wasn't in her grasp. She went back to clawing his face, but her vision was failing her.

"Stop, please!" Katherine yelled, her nails sinking into his skin

Ko grip her wrist and tried to pull her hands off, but Katherine stayed on him.

"Let go of me!" Ko yelled finally yanking her hands off of him

Nail marks engrave in his skin to the middle of his cheek. Katherine sank her nails in his wrist and bit his hand. He let go and slapped her. Katherine yanked the knife out of his stomach and cut him. He stumble back, putting pressure on his cut when blood flowed out heavily. Katherine went back to cutting the rope, spreading her legs to make it rip faster, staring at Ko. Ko glared at Katherine and grabbed another knife and threw it at her before applying pressure on his stomach. The knife missed Katherine, clanging to the floor in front of her.

"I guess you don't have enough energy left," Katherine breathed out, continuing to saw at the rope

"You think this is funny, huh?" Ko cough

"I really do since you were confident about torturing me. Now it's me in charge," Katherine said, the rope falling to the ground

Katherine stood, but stumble and sat back down. Then stood back up and took short steps with the chair acting as her walker.

"You have a strong kick," Katherine said sarcastically, limping

"So, what are you going to do to me?" Ko asked, slumping to the ground. His hands on his stomach and cut on his forearm

"Nothing. I'm going to leave you there. Plus, I don't think the wound is deep enough to the point where you're on the ground," Katherine stated

Ko stayed silent. Katherine to continue to make her way to the door. Her body aching especially her leg as she can feel pain shot through her body every step she took.

'I'm officially lost.' Katherine looked around, trying to see if she remember any trees.

'What's the point. The trees are the same.' Katherine kept on walking, supporting herself by the trees.

♧♧♧♧♧♧♧

"I'M FUCKING LOST!" Katherine yelled, pounding on the tree

Her dress covered in blood and dirt. Katherine was on the floor, no strength or energy to keep on walking. She felt so close to passing out. 'I need to keep going.' Katherine got on her elbows and began to crawl, slowly. Sticks scraping her skin, dirt coating her, and pain coursing through her body. 'Got to keep on going.' Katherine continued to crawl even if she was aching in pain. She eventually gave up, her vision blurry. 'I'll just take a rest.' Katherine laid her head on the ground and closed her eyes.
