Why him?

The report came to me of Vera's arrival and I couldn't help but chuckled..Her appearance because so solid and she was full of life and energy..

" You sent for me?"her nonchalant attitude suprise me even more like she had grown wings overnight " Where were you?" " I was out with my brother?" this woman loves testing my patience

" Were did you go with your brother?" if she tells me the truth.. maybe I'll think of a lighter punishment for her and her pathetic over siding brother

"She was out with me your majesty" here comes the ally in his confidence suit..what a joke?

"I'll repeat my question..where were you?"

" what's it up with you.. I went out to see thr scenery with my brother.. what's your problem exactly?"

She wasn't ready to come clean.. and I should fuel the fire even more shouldn't I? " Guards.. take this monkey to the dungeon for me " the fear in their eyes suits my nerves.." Zuma what are you doing?" his struggles can't overpass the strength of my guard..

" oh .so it's Zuma now...not your majesty...what a joke. Take him away" Vera's calm appearance was more annoying than ever

"if you are arresting my brother because he advised you to take vergence on those who hurt your daughter please don't do that anymore. it's not like you would so let him go. He thought you were a good person who cared but I already warned him of this stupid thought" she's doing so well in covering up the truth..

"it's ready sire " the grand eunch was the best in his clan for making deadly poison.. contacting him today was part of the plan.. " Feed it to him" Vera's cold demeanor dropped instantly.." you guessed right...this is the deadliest poison in all the land.. I'll give it to your brother as a gift for taking you out ...since you refuse to tell me what I need to know..there is no need to stop him from having his last wine

slowly watch her guard go down every minute..she tried to put on a bold face but I already saw the small opening I was looking for

" I can really see that you have gone mad..more mad than I expected.. delusional brat. If you have a problem with me there is no need to punish my brother "

"oh really...well that's the most painful reminder ever.. slowly watching the one you call family die all because of your stupidity. Don't forget that am the king.. nothing can hide from my nose except I allow it."

" My lord..he refused to drink it " incompetent fools always want me to do everything by myself " Fools...pour it down his throat!" "You..._ She didn't expect I'll force death on her brother.. I have completely lose all mercy

" Only I have the antidote..tell me what I need to know and I'll spare him"

"I don't know what you're talking about" liar liar vampire...she doesn't want to admit it.. does she want to protect that bastard from me... it seems I should take more drastic measures

" I'll give you only three days because your brother can only last seven days without the antidote... it's so unfortunate that he'll be in serious pain and die a painful and excruciating death without moving a finger" her peaceful demeanor makes me wanna puke..how can she trade her brother's life for that bastard...have I really lost her? I did all in my power to get her as my wife and is this what I gain in return

" Get out" I can't take it anymore.. it's frustrating already and chocking inside and I feel so hot from my own anger.

I can't let Zuma kill my brother... I have to find a way to get him out of here...but I'll at least need to the antidote to save him or else all of my effort will be in vain.

" Tarius...are you okay?" " Don't worry about me... I know that he is just using me to punish you" his face is completely bruised and it seems the poison is starting to kick off

" I'll do everything I can to get you out of here" tears flow down my cheeks....his hands reached to my face and he wipe my tears away..

." Whatever you do.. don't admit anything. No matter the pressure..all we need to do is save violet's future okay?" I can't believe herl already want to give his life up for me and my daughter...life is really unfair to me in every way. First it was my father,then our clan,then Ivory,then tarius...in any case now it would soon be violet's turn if I don't take risk " Promise me you won't do anything foolish" "I promise".

******

Search for that bastard is still ongoing and it's seems to be a dead end every time... it's like he doesn't exist. " Do whatever you can... and also any clues on who my father is?"

" Not yet" " Stop being slow about it okay?"

" Yes!"

" Your highness... your uncle is being detained in the dungeon and the queen is on a verge of break down" if there's anything I haven't being paying attention to it's my mother and her affectionate husband...but my uncle??? What the hell does Zuma wants now?

I went straight to the palace...am so tired of all this nonsense that Zuma is doing..if he wants me out of the palace he should do it without involving anyone else...such a coward!
