I got into the ward and she was sitting on the bed with her gaze downward.
I was about laughing at her before the door opened and the king walked in.
What?
Why did he followed me here?.. Sophia’s mother also walked in that moment
What!!!!?
“Claire, you are still here, thanks for visiting her even when it seemed there is a brawl between you both ” The king smiled and I forced out mine.
Sophia’s mother gave me a dagger look which I ignored.
“How do you feel?” The king asked Sophia.
“I’m getting better, how is Prince Richard?” She asked with a wet eyes
“He is getting better too, can’t you really recall what happened?..who did all this to you both?!” The king asked and she glanced at me making my heart flip.
“I can’t remember” she mumbled making me sigh in relief..
“Okay Sophia, there…..”
“Your highness…” She called cutting his speech
“What?”
“I remember what happened last night ” She said out making my eyes widened so widely.
“You shouldn’t just guess your enemies, we all know you had amnesia” I interjected
“Oh yes but I just regained my memory so easily, I even has the video record of the person escaping through the window ” She said slowly leaving the king so curious.
I couldn’t believe what I am hearing.
“The guard with the person, ki||ed himself before we can ask him anything, we lost hope of finding the culprit, you can recall? ” He asked
“Yes sure, you must doubt me so I would later show you the video tape ” Her voice struck my heart.
I couldn’t move am inch, is she really saying all this with her sense?
“Your Highness, I think we should call the doctor, she may be insane!!” I blurted
“It’s your generation that is insane, your evil deed would be exposed today ” Sophia’s mother retorted
“Father ” She called the king who smiled
“The person who shot at your son and made him lose his memory is….” She paused as the door of the ward opened with two people walking in.
The Queen and a strange man.
Who is this man?
“She was about saying who did all that to our son” the king said and they all listened again.
Omg!!..what should I do now???
Aaahh!!
“She is the one ” I heard her voice as she pointed at me.
Everyone turned to me that moment..
Really??
“Do you all believed that?” I asked
“I don’t!!!” The king and queen screamed in chorus..
“I have the video tape here ” That strange man said and I felt my heart sank.
I’m dead!!
“What video are you talking about!” I seethed at the strange guy who was even wearing one stupid face cap.
The king and queen turned to him with an arched brow.
“You have the video of her $h00ting at my son?” The queen was the first to ask
“Hey, you both shouldn’t listen to this guy, let’s go check on my fiance your son, some people can be stupid at times, can you imagine!” I snorted giving the strange guy a ki||er glare, he smirked at me before turning back to the king who was really waiting anxiously.
“The truth is hard to believe, lies are sometimes more acceptable, would the video tape of her jumping over the window make you both believe she is the unseen devil here?” The man asked sending another smirk to me.
The only thing I felt doing that moment is ki||ing this man, yes!..I feel like $h00ting at him right here and now…he must be the one that mounted that cameras there, why?..who even sent him?
“Your Highness, are you gonna keep listening to this strange man?..do you know him, he may be a….”
“Shut up!! ” The king barked at me leaving shock to rush through me.
“As much as I can’t believe you are the one who did all that to my son, I still wants to clarify my belief ” He said
“Okay ” I shrugged and slumped on the chair there.
“Okay man, who are you?” The king asked
“My identity is hidden for the time now, I’m here to save the throne, this is the video right here ” He said and handed a device to the king.
Everyone rushed to take a look including Sophia’s mother….words can’t explain how I feels now, I think I’d strangle someone to death.
“What!!!” That was the first scream from the king.
The Queen also wailed.
“Stella was brought into that house but she didn’t came out, what happened to her?” The king muttered with his eyes widened.
“How couldn’t we even saw her when we got in?” The queen asked
Everyone raised their gaze to me, I could even see fury right in their eyes.
“Claire don’t think you are all wise, you can’t hide anymore!” Sophia’s mother mother spoke out.
Wow!…she has gotten balls all of a sudden, let’s watch and see..
“That video is not pointing at me as the culprit, it’s Richard and Sophia..ask them where Stella is?” I seethed
“When we came in, that bodyguard was about jumping out of the window where you passes through, it means you both are into this, Claire I’m worry but you are really a suspect!” The king growled.
“You are talking nonsense old man!!!” I shouted and like a dream, Sophia’s mother slapped me so hard.
What!!! My eyes widened in shock and disbelief
“You don’t talk to the king that way, how do you intend to be the Queen one day!!” She gritted
“I can’t conclude anything now, I can’t even arrest you, I can’t lay a finger on you..the Oracle pointed at you as the princess..it is never possible for the princess to $h00t at the Prince” The king shrugged and the Queen also nodded making me smile.
“I thought you both had believed all those set up” I breathed
“It only means one thing ” The king added
“Huh?..what is that?” I asked suprisingly
“You are not the real princess and heir to the throne!!” He stated leaving shrill flowing down my spine.
“I don’t get you!” I said
“There is only one way for a mere person to be pointed as the princess…did you took that journey?” The king asked and I found myself shivering..
His eyes were peering into mine accusingly.
“I don’t know a bit of what you are saying!!” I snapped
“Your eyes shows you know a lot about it, I don’t want to believe you did it…time will tell, just know that death awaits anyone who would took that path for evil ” He gruffed before leaving…
The Queen followed immediately leaving only me, the strange man, Sophia’s mother with Sophia too.
In anger, I rushed to Soohia’s mother to slap her hardly only for a muscular arm of the strange man to stop me
“Hey you…get off me, guess you don’t know I am the princess! ” I seethed
“Princess? ” He scoffed and shrugged
“I only know Sophia as the princess..get your self out of here!!” He growled
“You are a fool, you even thought that silly video would make an attempt, you are a loser…watch and see as your death knocks on your door fool ” I bawled before stomping out, all I could hear again was his laughter.
More people would surely die very soon!
I got home and the first place I head to was where I kept the bracelet, I just want to make sure it is safe. with it, I’d be the crowned princess
I brought out the box and opened it with a wide smile on my lips, what I saw got me shaking badly, I couldn’t believe my eyes
What!!!!
My eyes popped out as the box fell off, my heart beat accelerated, sweat formed all over my body, I couldn’t believe what my eyes just saw.
It was so unreal and I would never believe this is reality.
I wish it was dream
The bracelet is gone, it is no more in the box!
Is this real?
