Blossoms on fire

Chapter 35

EDITED 

Five days, my last days. And then General June is going to kill me in front of people who wished my death. Should I run away or just let myself fall into an abyss of the dead.

The more important thing for me is that Noor does not want to save me. I understand his answer in this way. He would save only his belongings and I am only his wife.

Maybe I just understand it way I wanted to understand. I am the same as June. Was it planned by Noor?

Every human can find in your words another answer. It is your trap, is not it? Noor, what are you exactly trying to tell me?

I heard arriving someone. The horses are noisy. Someone jumps off them and lands on the ground.

'Did you have a good way, sir?' asks Mil.

'Quite. I was thinking about how we kill princess whole time.' says that person.

That voice! A King Sane?

'That is good to hear because General June does not have ideas yet. But he would know something when the time of death will come.' says Mil.

'I did not expect anything like that.' says another one voice.

'What? Princess's death?' asks Mil.

'No.' the person says very angrily.

'Ohhh, I am sorry. Lord Drek.' apologizes Mil.

Lord Drek, who is he? I do not know him, I have never heard this name.

'By the way, where is princess Leonora?' asks the one I think it is a king Sane.

'In this room, sir.' says Mij.

When did Mij arrive to participate in this conversation?

'Ohhh. Has she been there since her arrival?' asks the one I think it is a king Sane.

'Yes, that is true. She is attached to the pillar. It is... How long it is????? 'Mij answers.

'You know nothing about the most important things. You are stupid, Mij.' says Lord Drek.

'You....' starts angrily Mij.

'That is not painful. She must suffer.' says the one I think it is a king Sane.

'Do you think so, King Sane? 'General June asks.

King Sane, I had known that it is him. But King Sane rules over kingdom Jilan which is our neighbour. But why this king has a connection to revolutionaries?

'Yes. She must for her past actions.' King Sane replies.

'What did she do?' asks Lord Drek.

'She had let Charlotte left.' says King Sane.

Charlotte? That was my maid, but what about her?

'Who is Charlotte?' asks Mij.

'I do not know her.' says Lord Drek.

'Charlotte was a maid of the royal family.' General June says.

'A maid?' asks Mil.

'Yes. Charlotte was a maid. The previous king of Micao Ciro, father of princess Leonora, promised me this maid as my concubine. Ciro knew her so much far, he told me about Charlotte so many times in his letters. He described her as a little girl with blonde hair, with blue eyes and a soft voice. He said that she is very shy, says sorry very often. By this description and photos he sent me in the envelopes I fell in love with her. I dreamed of her. I wanted to have her. But for him, she was the worst maid he had ever had. So when I wrote in a letter to him that I wanted to meet her and about my felling in love. In the next letter, he promised me that she could be all mine and whatever I would want. Concubine, maid, my wife or lover? Anyone I would want her to be. I was looking forward to her but when I opened the next letter from Ciro he wrote that his daughter Leonora let her go and he did not know where she is. I was so furious about it. Ciro's daughter learns me how to hate someone. Because of her, I lost my Charlotte. And Ciro, my old friend and ally, he broke the promise he gave me! I was furious even more considering that fact. I decided to break our friendship and alliance forever. I was looking for another one who wants to with me break kingdom Micao down and mainly the royal family. I wanted revenge. I found you, the revolutionaries and Lord Drek, Mianzo, General June, Lenas, and Uro. You may think that I forgot about my Charlotte. That is not true. I am still looking for her. I want her to be mine and I will not stop. Never!' he tells to others.

'Mianzo arrived!' shouts someone outside.

King Sane hates me and he participated in killing my family because of me. What did I do? I thought that I never hurt anyone but with every moment outside of the palace I found out that I hurt almost everyone.

'Okay, if you want her to suffer, Sane. Do it by yourself. She is all yours.' General June says.

'Thank you, June.' says Sane.

'I get to go to welcome our friends. Have fun.' General June says and leaves.

At that moment the door opens and I saw Sane 's face with a grin on it. He comes to me and unattached me from the pillar. Then he takes me by my arm and forces me to go. My legs do not want to move they are like a timber. It hurts when I do any step. He forces me to go around the building we are in and then he enters with me the garden. The garden is very pretty. This thought was in my head until he pushes me into flower's bed. It hurts because there are roses. I have still cuffed hands together on my back. He comes closer to me and lifts me on my feet. He starts going to some tree. He attaches me on that tree and from his pocket on pants, he takes out three daggers. He is standing now five metres from me. He lifts one dagger and aims at me. He is crazy.

'What did you do with Charlotte? Why did you do that? 'he asks me furiously.

'She was as sad as our maid. I did not know that she was going to be your maid.' I answer.

'You cannot be sorry for the thing you do not know. Ignorance is yours bad!' he shouts at me and throws at me the dagger. It lands next to my hip but it is near to me. I feel a little cut from which flows my blood.

'You made my life hell. You monster!' he shouts at me and throws another dagger.

It lands near my neck. I am shivering. I fear him. I fear him more than Noor.

'You tore my heart to pieces! You learned me how to hate someone. Do you know how much it hurts when you lose someone!' he asks.

'I...' I start.

'I do not want to hear your excuses!' he shouts at me and throws the last dagger.

I know how it hurts when you are alone. I did not do on purpose I did not know that my father was going to sent Charlotte to him.

It lands into my arm near to wrist. I do not have any bones broken. The blood flows fast. Sane comes to me. He takes out the daggers and bandaged my arm.

I was confused.

'You must not die today. Because there are not all guests yet. 'he says and leaves. I stayed there attached to the tree. Again.

How many days remains to my death?

Four? Or just one?
