Divine Justice [Editing]

22. Torturing for Information (EDITED)

A/N: Brief mentions of violence in this chapter.

There's a single moment where Sabrina and I stare at each other - right into each other's eyes - and the guilt that I see confirms for sure that my suspicions about her have been correct after all.

I knew she looked like a lying, snitching bitch from the moment I first saw her.

"Everything you're telling Sebastian right now, is nothing but a concoction I cooked up just so you could come crawling here, rata." I explain, making her lose a few shades of color. "And you fell right into my trap."

I laugh before shaking my head, while she sputters for an explanation.

"Y-Your Majesty... there must be some m-mistake... she-- she's planning to betray you!" She yells, pointing a manicured finger at me. "She's planning to kill you, My Liege."

"And how would you know, huh?" I ask, leveling her with a challenging stare. "You come here into the Royal Estate with all this valuable information... exactly how did you receive it?"

She shuts her mouth right away, which makes me laugh more.

"Damn, Sebastian, you were gonna marry this pathetic fool?" I say, before sighing dramatically.

"And who said I was going to marry her?" He asks, his tone of voice clearly mocking. I laugh slightly, then shake my head.

"By the way, Lady Sabrina," I say, my eyes narrowed at her, "we found your little toy."

I take out the box that Merlin put the bug in, and I show it to her. I watch as her face loses more shades of color, much to my amusement.

"You must know what bug this is, right?" I ask, rhetorically. "Pretty nifty little thing if you ask me. I heard that it's a voice recorder."

Then, with all my vampire strength I crush the box with the bug inside. I watch as it suddenly becomes dust, which shows that it's completely destroyed.

"I would've never thought that someone like you possessed advanced tech like this, Ms. Bimbo," I state, looking at her intently, "where'd you get it?"

Her mouth shuts tighter than the dress of a size three model, and she starts to back away slowly. Riley, however, is already by the door.

"Ah, ah, ah. Answer the Queen's question, Ms. Aguliar." He says with a dark smirk.

She looks at him, then at me in panic. I smile in return, but there's nothing nice about it.

"You can't keep me here! This is against the law! This will be taken as treason of the highest offence!" She exclaims, breathing heavily.

I raise an eyebrow at her drama, and I look at Sebastian, who has been quiet and observing our suspect in an unnerving manner.

"Last time I checked, the Royal family are the law," I note with a hum, "and now that I'm about to be Queen, that little stipulation now includes me."

I then lose my smile and narrow my eyes at her.

"I've been looking for a reason to rip your toenails out one by one, Sabrina," I growl lowly as I take slow steps towards her. "Turns out that I'll have to use you being a filthy spy as an excuse to use my brand new knives."

Now she really looks like she wants to cry.

"Let me go!" She starts yelling, and Sebastian suddenly reaches over to her throat and wraps his hand around it.

"You're going to shut up, then follow Riley to the basement." Sebastian Commands in a strong voice. "He's going to tie you up, and you're going to let him. One mistake done on your part will result in something way worse than the scariest nightmares. Do you understand?"
