Chapter ten-----Novoland

The Prince stood there fuming with a in a sharp breath which got him choking on his spit and he started coughing.

The prince gazed at him in contempt and his coughing ceased immediately.

"Osman, are you naming me a fibber?" prince Rasheed asked in scorn.

"No, your highness no, please. Have mercy, have mercy on my people" he said hitting his head on the ground.

Javeria is stupefied, she has always known her father as an undefeated king yet here he is bowing his head pleading for mercy.

Even her brother who she has always relied on to make things better for her is on his knees face down.

What a powerful man! I want him, why should he belong to Ameera? For what justification does she have to deserve him?

Yes, she is insanely beautiful so also is she. Body-wise, she is more endowed than Ameera. Many men have been flopping themselves on her.

Yet, she turned them down all because of him. Still, he doesn't see her. She has been obsessed with him since she was a child.

Her brother is aware of it that's why he keeps trying his possible best so their father does not marry her off.

She even degraded herself just for him by sending her brother to Novoland to ask his hand in marriage which was not supposed to be so.

Upon all these sacrifices, he doesn't see her or even glance at her. Here she was, beaten to the ground by a mere slave.

Ameera can be a crown princess for all she cares but she will always be a slave in her eyes. Nothing but a trivial slave that has served her and cleaned after her.

She thought hatefully. Ameera joined the crown prince with the hairpin in her hair giving her dirty, scrawny look a little shine.

As Ameera stood by his side, he drew her closer to him because she was standing two centimetres apart from him.

"Now, tell me Osman do you recognize this lady standing before me or not?" He asked with a quizzical look on his countenance.

"Your highness, I have seen her around but she is no crown princess. She is an ordinary orphan that my late adviser sold to me as a child. As my daughter needed a child of her age, I bought her from him and gave her to my daughter," he informed the prince hoping this will appease the prince.

"Interesting, twice you have called me a romancer. Give me a reason why I should spare you or your kingdom?" The prince growled out the words coldly.

The more irritated and angry he got, the more frost drips down like water rendering everyone standing outside with them cold.

Prince Hassan seeing the precarious position his father is placing them decided to interfere.

"Your highness, sincerely speaking we had no idea she was the crown princess. Please have mercy on us," he implores.

"You were not invited to speak, the more I hear from you all, the urge to leave you all to your fates in the hands of the demons keeps getting higher," he said giving Hassan a deadly glare.

"Ha!" The people circling them screamed. They are aware that if the prince decides to abandon them then it is over for them.

It is more convenient to be killed than they being captured by the terrorizing demon clan. They have heard and even seen what they have done to some clans that the demons have raided.

All the men apprehended by the demons clan were slaughtered by them. The older married women were raped over and over again until they got tired of them.

Later on, the older married women were still killed, and the young females were given to their king and princes as concubines.

The children were given to their numerous slaves to groom until they are grown. The grown-up females are given to their soldiers as wives, while the males are slaves away.

Not just slavery but brutal affliction were inflicted on them. The ones that survive will survive, the rest dies and they are prepared as a lump of meat to feed the pleasant demons.

The tales they have heard of them are not pleasant at all. No one in his right sense would ever want to experience such, so fear gripped the King and his people.

The King turned to the direction of Ameera praying Ameera would intercede for them and placate the prince's anger.

"My princess, please have mercy on us. We are sorry. I am sorry for everything. Have mercy please have mercy on my people," The king pleads, holding Ameera's ankle.

"Father, stop begging her! Why are you begging her?" Javeria screams at him.

Ameera smiles wickedly when she saw how disturbed the spoilt princess who always used her father to boast screamed.

It is such a shame, Ameera thought she should have slapped some sense into the princess as she has intended.

She is still acting spoilt and foolish which is completely wrong in a situation like this. She has no right to speak but then again, she is not shocked.

The girl has always been foolish. She has always had a bird brain since childhood just his older brother's love for her that has been protecting her.

Ameera moves out of the king's way not wanting to be dragged into the chaos that the king has brought himself.

The prince swivelled to stare at her. " what is your take on this little moon? Whatever you say will go as law, whatever you want," Prince Rasheed cooed to her.

"I do not want the death of so many people on my head even though some of them deserve it. That's all I have to say," Ameera replied to him.

"If that's what you want so shall it be. My betrothed has spoken so I will show mercy but each and everyone responsible for the suffering she has gone through will pay for it," Prince Rasheed said with a smile of mischief on his face.

"Whatever you say, your highness. Just show us mercy" The king said.

"Your daughter has not learned her lesson... She still doesn't know her place so she is going back with me never to set foot into the kingdom of Kafata as for her punishment, whatever my mother decides will be her fate. You, Soha, will be accompanying her since you love her so much that you are willing to attack my betrothed in my presence.

Rayan, yes, you will returning with me as a prisoner. When we get to Novoland whatever punishment your Aunt receives same shall be yours," Prince Rasheed said looking at the King.

"Thank you your highness for showing mercy on my kingdom," he tearily said for his heart is heavy hearing his daughter will never return to him.

Ameera looks at Prince Hassan's fallen countenance and her heart goes to him in sympathy. He has always been a kind young man to all.

If only his stupid sister was like him then she won't be in the position that she is now.

"Your highness," Ameera calls to the prince. The prince's eyebrows rose questioningly at her.

"Yes,".

"There is someone I would like to take with me, her name is Samiha and if you will be so generous, please let the spoilt brat princess go" she pleads.

The prince is taken aback by surprise because he knows Ameera to be someone that never begs.

"Why should I let her go? She was so mean to you and she even bound you to a tree," Prince Rasheed questions.

"Her brother deeply loves her and he has always been nice to me. He is the total opposite of her so for his sake, I am asking this also to return his kindness because I hate being indebted to anyone" She mumbled.

The prince is pleased by her answer so he said "if that is what you want so shall it be but in exchange, the guards that struck you with the rod shall be put to death even the one that molested you. Only on that account will I let her go," Prince Rasheed mumbled.

"Your highness, once again I will leave that decision to the prince of Kafata. The blood of a human shall not be shed on my head," the prince is impressed by her reply once again.

"Very well, prince Hassan what is your decision?" He asked him scorning at him.

"I have wanted to put those guards to death in the first place so please pardon my sister, please my prince," he said.

The prince nods at him. Prince Hassan motion a guard over to him and whispers in his ears to bring the two guards that beat Ameera.

The two guards are dragged to the prince and he stabs them with his sword. Their blood pool around the ground covered with snow.

The red on the white snow was like a stain but one that the remaining guards will remember forever.

Ameera calls Nadira over to her and tells her "I might not trust you fully but thank you for coming.  Let's go home but I hope you know I won't show your mother mercy?"

"Yes, sister, I understand your anger and won't question any decision you take," Nadira replies to her.

Ameera is shocked by her reply and level of loyalty to her. Then she smiles at her.

Samiha joins them and Ameera also smiles at her.

It was the first time Samiha is seeing a smile on Ameera's face and it was a sight to behold. One never to be forgotten.

"Let's go little moon," prince Rasheed said stretching his hands towards her.

Immediately Ameera turns to face him, the smile on her veers into scorn.

I guess this stubborn woman will not be forgiving me anytime soon, Prince Rasheed thought.

He mind link his guard to bring the carriage that will be taken them to Novoland and it didn't take long before he came with the carriage.

Rayan in chains was dragged into a different carriage by prince Rasheed's personal guard, Adeel.

The prince gets into another carriage apart from the one Ameera and her sister were in.

Samiha and Zara entered the carriage that brought Nadira to kafata and their journey to Novoland began.

As the carriage moved on the snow melted slowly and the sky was no longer dripping down snow.
