Chapter 74

Karen's Pov
"Where's princess Roseé? She's not in her room. Where did she go?" I asked my siblings who were sitting while playing chess in the garden near the exit and entrance of the palace.
I sat down next to Brother Isaac following Brother Tyrone's answer to my question.
"We don't know, we didn't see her almost a whole day." I frowned at her answer. If so, where is she?
"Brother? Where is he? He's not in the palace either." I asked again. It's possible that they are together because I saw my brother earlier who went to my father.
"We also don't know about that little princess. They came back here earlier from my father but he just disappeared like a boom ta-da." I snorted and just watched them play chess.
Just a few minutes later, a man entered the palace. It was a woman whose face I was staring at the most. She was wearing the same assassin's creed, so it was surprising that they went here.
My mouth dropped open as I recognized the woman sleeping from behind the man carrying the food.
"Roseé." Whispered so my two older brothers looked at me before following my gaze.
I saw the man leave the cloth covering his face and I almost fell on my seat in shock.
"Ku—" I didn't finish my speech when older brother Tyrone covered my mouth.
"Don't disturb them, they look sweet." Tyrone whispered with a smile so I closed my mouth. He's right, they look sweet and I'm happy to see them like that.
Only now have I seen older brother pay attention to women other than mother, then.
"Hey darling, are you awake? We're already here." His older brother said softly to Roseé but he didn't respond.
The older brother just rested deeply before lifting Roseé who was slowly sliding behind him.
"Damn women." Said the older brother as there was a smile on his lips who started walking towards the direction of Roseé's room.
"He's not that bad at all like before. He's slowly changing because of princess Roseé." Said older brother Tyrone while looking at what older brother went through earlier.
"I hope he continues to change." I looked at older brother Isaac as he spoke.
"Aren't you jealous?" I asked older brother Isaac with a laugh.
"Yes I like her but I like her too for our eldest. I'm just approaching Roseé to get closer to her and make your older brother jealous." I was just shaken by what he said while they were laughing.
"Your jealous brother Isaac don't pretend, it's obvious to you." Brother Tyrone and I laughed even more because of what he said and brother Isaac just blushed.
Kuya Isaac always thinks positive and he prefers the pleasure of others because he thinks that it is better. He always sacrifices his feelings and happiness for the others.
"You can find one for you too brother." I said smiling as he smiled as well.
"The king has down!" Shouted older brother Tyrone so older brother and I looked at it and we saw that older brother Isaac's king had already fallen.
"You cheater! Mandurugas!" Shouted older brother Isaac and threw the king at older brother Tyrone. I just laughed at them both and shook my head.
Lord Evin's POV
Rosee is still in deep sleep at my back. I'm going to her room now to lay her down and rest there.
I know that she's tired of eating anything. I almost ran out of money with her but I can't even get mad at her. I'm even happier especially when she eats what I bought.
I guess I'm going to spoil her by eating. She's always in a good mood, in case she's a bit childish. When she's not eating, she's always in a bad mood and being teased.
But when I think that we will get married soon, I feel sad. He will only marry me because of an agreement between my father and his father.
"I want a cassava cake, give me that." Rosee said softly while sleeping. It must have been a dream.
"I'm going to buy you later." I laughed and looked at it slightly when they got to its room.
I laughed even more when Rosee laughed softly while sleeping. I just stopped laughing as she pressed her head against my neck. Fuck!
I quickly opened his room then let him in there and laid him on his bed.
"Having a good time with you is one of my memorable memories and I will be going to keep it." I whispered here while pinching it. "I hope that you like this day and be one of your best days."
After I covered it, I stared at it for a while and gently kissed it on the cheek when it suddenly faced me. He wrapped his hand around my neck and then pulled me so that I could be taken and lay down next to it.
Maybe I was mistaken for this pillow. I tried to remove it and get out of its hand but it was tightly wrapped.
"Silly princess, you might get angry waking up because my handsome face will be exposed in front of you." I said while smiling. I saw a small smile draw on Rosee's lips.
"I'm going to sharpen your face Lord Evin. Your face gets too thick when you say you're handsome." He said and instead of surprising me I laughed. This girl!
"Why? Am I not handsome in your eyes?" I asked as he kept his eyes closed.
"Yes you are handsome but it's better if it's English for social and dating, it's annoying when it's said to be handsome." I smiled at what he said.
"Aren't you going to sleep?" I asked him.
"Can you sleep with me? I want to feel safe Lord Evin." He stared then looked at me directly. "I feel safe when I'm always with you Lord Evin. Not that I'm afraid but I've been afraid to lose you now and I don't know why so can sleep beside me? Even just now. "He looked down and I felt him slowly remove his hand so I immediately touched you.
I felt the light hitting from my face so I was a bit nervous and squeezed next to me. I'm still lazy to get up now.
"Princess Sezei ?! Princess Sezei ?! Are you there?" Shouted a woman outside in a very familiar voice.
I was immediately startled by what I realized. Did she just shout my name?
"No, she didn't—"
"Princess Sezei!" I quickly stood up and ignored Lord Evin's tight hug on me. I quickly got away from Lord Evin then opened the door.
There will definitely be a big mess!
"Arya? What are you doing here?" I quickly asked Arya. She was a childhood friend at the Stone Palace. What is she doing here?
"Your father! He threatened us! If we don't leave the council of your palace, he will kill us! I have no one else to approach Princess Sezei so I'm begging you." Arya cried. My lips parted when I heard what was said niya.
"What is the reason and why does he want to send you away?" I asked but he just cried and sobbed in front of me. I held his hand and stared at him. "Tell me Arya. Tell me."
"I don't want to princess, your life will definitely be ruined if you happen to find out the reason." He replied so I was even more nacurious.
"Arya? Spill it." I said softly while looking at him in the dark. I feel bad about the news he brought and I feel that.
"Your not yet ready princess—"
"I said spill it." I was coldly cut off from what he was going to say. I want to know!
He tried to stop crying and then looked straight at me.
"Your mother princess," I frowned at what he said.
"Whats about my mother?" I asked him. "Tell me everything."
"Your mother, she didn't die. She was killed, deliberately." Both my shoulders dropped at what I heard. Just like I thought then. She didn't die, she was killed, her death was intentional!
"And you princess Sezei? You're the one they blame for the death. You were the only one with your mother before she died." She cried again as I slowly laughed until I laughed.
"My mother? I killed her? Really?" I laughed out loud again then looked at Arya who was still shedding tears. "Don't worry I'll be back to the palace. You won't be fired from the council." I said and smiled at her. he then turned and slowly walked back to my room where Lord Evin was standing.
Now, I'm dressed. I'm not really good at lying.
I stopped in front of him without emotion and tried to smile. I saw his emotionless expression that scared everyone. He was angry.
"I know you're mad at what you found out so please just let me—"
"Go away." Was his cold response and left. I was dazzled by what he did. He went back to the way he was. It's only been a few days but it's like this again and our situation is even worse now.
I entered the room and I couldn't stop my tears from flowing. There was no sobbing, I was just used to crying quietly and alone. It was a pain to feel but I didn't want to bring out my resentment and problems to others.
It's just annoying because I'm stupid, I'm stupid because I'm hurt by someone I don't know that well.
"Your Majesty, we saw what happened." Riri, Kali and Summer suddenly appeared in front of me.
"I'm fine no worries. Go back to the amulet I will take care of myself." I said so they bowed and disappeared. I violently wiped my tears and started packing. What's the point of me staying here if I'm angry Lord Evin.
"This is fucking hell yeah." I whispered loudly and kicked the table next to me in great annoyance. My life was becoming miserable.
Rosee's POV
"Father? What's going on?" I asked my father who was watching Teresa at the Royal Hall. "Are you firing Arya's father from the council? For what reason?"
I don't understand why this is happening. All I know is that my father wants Arya's father to be ousted.
"We met with the councilors and I found out that they knew what really happened in the death of Sezei's mother." I was shocked because of what he said. A-what? dun.
"How's that father? Will we be expelled? What will happen to us—"
"No worries because I've already figured out a way. I know councilor Martino's rank and position are important to him so he definitely won't speak." Smiling father explained to me that I was happy. So we can't be evicted!
"And we will insist on Sezei in that case. He is the last one with his mother so it's easy to believe our alibi." I was even more pleased with what my father said.
"You're really good father I'm sure everyone will believe in our alibi but," I was stunned when I realized. "How did Sezei marry Lord Evin?" I asked.
"You are going to marry him. I found out that his father is not Lord Evin. Lord Evin is the eldest son of the Lord in the North." I was surprised by what my father said. So he wasn't an old man.
"He's handsome but cold hearted Lord. He's hard to get along with. But don't think about it because you're getting married." My eyes lit up at what my father said. My father really knew how to make me happy.
"Thank you father, please just let Sezei get out of my way. Maybe we'll get into trouble." I remembered my father who laughed.
"Yes Rosee, I'm sure that woman will be here later. There are already punishments for her and everything will be easier in the council because I'm sure she won't speak."
"Your right father, he's not defending himself but he's defending others." I said and looked at Teresa so I was even happier when I saw that Sezei was there who had been arrested by the soldiers. There was no sign of any emotion on his face. by Sezei while looking in the direction of my father and me but I could see the hatred and anger in his eyes.
Poor Sezei, your happiness then, my happiness now.
The soldiers took me to the back of the palace after they arrested me somewhere near the criminal headquarters.
They violently released me when we confronted my father and his mother.
"Princess Sezei, you were involved in the case of your mother's death a few years ago. You have the right to remain silent and speak." Father began while the mother and daughter secretly looked at me and smiled at me.
"And starting today, princess Sezei is being removed from her position as a Royalty princess who will go to princess Roseé." I couldn't help but laugh at what father said. They were funny!
"You have no right to insult the king especially now that you have no position here in the palace!" Sighed Lolita, the mother of my good sister.
I grinned at them and saluted my middle finger at them.
Just a few seconds later, someone hit me on the back, causing me to get on my knees, followed by two more blows.
My vision was blurred because of the force of the blows that hit me. I was bleeding because of what was done to me but I just laughed again.
"Can you just kill me? You'll be happier if that happens." I said and laughed. "Why don't you kill me yet? Huh?" I asked them and I felt even more angry.
"Kill me!" I shouted and at the same time a loud slap that I almost fainted. I violently confronted my father who slapped me.
"All right, hurt me! Torture me! Punish me. Just kill me!" I shouted and once again I felt a strong slap.
"Take him to the station and tie him up and then whip him five hundred times!" My father shouted so the soldiers quickly dragged me to the station.
"Can I punish him father?" I heard Roseé ask father. Go ahead and help me. I'm sure you can replace all my suffering. You will enjoy great karma and revenge when I am acquitted. Just wait kayo.
Karmen's POV
I hurried to the hall where my father and older brothers were.
Only this morning did I find out that Sezei's secret has been revealed. Was it not because of that councilor's son that he could not be investigated and would be put on the brink.
"Princess Karmen? Why are you alone now? We've been waiting for you for a while." Said father who was at the far end of the long table.
"Father, I'm going to kill you, I don't want to marry that princess." Replied brother Evin. Is he referring to Sezei?
She was deceived by Sezei, we kept it a secret from her. It is possible that she was referring to her. But based on what they have been showing lately, it seems that she has feelings for Princess Sezei.
"Evin, you need to do it. Marry her and make a child with her, that's all." I opened my mouth to what I heard while clenching my fist.
"He pretended to be his brother and then you ordered me to marry him? Are you out of your mind? Because of what they did I can declare war against their kingdom."
Father knocked on the table and then angrily confronted his older brother.
"It's easy for me to make you Evin. Just give me a grandson from the blood of the Stones. That's all I ask." Father replied then looked at our siblings.
"Also find someone to marry you if you don't want to be like your older brother." Father said angrily before leaving.
I burst into tears when my father left.
"Karmen? Are you alright?" Asked older brother Isaac.
"S-Sezei, I want her to marry you brother. P-Please brother I'm begging you. Roseé will make your life measurable—"
"Do you think that bitch you called Sezei doesn't make my life measurable? If she didn't come here as Roseé the situation wouldn't be like this." Said the older brother and turned his back on us.
"Are you really like that brother? Don't you know how to forgive? Sezei is having a moody attitude. Maybe you don't like him in the slightest." Said brother Tyrone blocking his way.
"I hate her, really hate her." Replied the older brother and passed him.
"You're annoying brother! You don't matter! You don't know how to forgive! You have no heart!" I shouted.
Sezei's POV
They tied me to a big, smelly and dirty cage before handing Roseé the whip.
"Poor Sezei, are you happy here in your new home?" He asked then scolded me.
"I can see the look of the place Roseé I'm not blind for fun what you're saying before my home." I answered him without emotion.
"You know Sezei your eyes are beautiful and because of that I won't whip you anymore." He grinned devilishly then threw the whip. I saw him take something from his pocket but I suddenly turned my gaze to the left when he slapped me and at the same time nun the hit of some gunpowder in my face, in my eyes!
"Ahhh! The pain! What did you do? !!" I shouted while dealing with the pain and ache in my eyes. I wanted to touch it but I couldn't because my hand was tied with chains on both sides of the cage.
"That powder will blind you Sezei. It's funny, you can't see anymore." He said and laughed out loud.
I just heard the prison close and footsteps moving away from me.
When I felt that my eye was no longer so painful and sore, I slowly opened it again.
Blurred.
I tried again to close my eyes and stare but still.
Just a few minutes later, the surroundings were dark. I couldn't see anything, it was already dark.
"I don't see anything." I sobbed and then my tears fell.
I feel a mixture of pain, anger, and hatred.
"They will regret it. They will pay for it too." I whispered as I continued to cry. I believe that in all these trials, there is a reward.
"Yes darling, I'm going to sleep with you tonight." I replied to him then returned his hand to hug my neck and pressed my face to his neck. "Its even more comfortable with this position while sleeping beside you."
"R-Really? Did you f-feel comfortable too?" I laughed softly again as it stuttered.
"Yes darling, more comfortable."
