Not My Sins
“The daughters of a man like that doesn’t deserve to live.” The crowd chattered angrily, they were ready to tear them apart. “The princesses of Elderslot should be put to death.” She raised her head slowly, she glanced at the current emperor of the Aubreun Empire, he wasn’t very much different from how she remembered him; he was only dressed in the clothes of the imperial palace and his name had changed. “Heads down you insolent witch!” One of the palace guards snapped before smacking her cheeks, her head snapped to the side and blood seeped from the cut. “The princesses of Elderslot should be put to death!” The crowd kept on chanting. “The tyranny of the duchy of Elderslot has come to an end his majesty should do us a favor and kill them all.” “Kill them all!” “Show no mercy!” “Off with their heads!” “Silence!” The Emperor yells and the crowd grew silent. “The house of Elderslot has indeed committed treason against the imperial family and the empire as a whole, but I assure you, the Duke of Elderslot and all those responsible has been executed.” Her heart hammered in her chest, and once again she dared to look up at him, he spoke with a dignified arrogance whilst radiating kingly aura; he was like a stranger. “My verdict is mercy, they shall be given their lives but their positions will be reduced to nothing.” The tears that well in her eyes, slipped and fell to her blooded dress. The Emperor turned in her direction as he spoke. “They shall be left with nothing,” their eyes met and his hardened immediately. “Nothing but shame and pain to clothe them.”
It was you
CHAPTER SIXTY-NINE
Rain lay in her bed, her green eyes opened in expectancy, she was expecting Doni even in the darkness, and it's been almost two hours since Marine had gone, she had started to think that Doni wouldn't probably come.
Rain was filled with anxiety as she slept in the bed, there was a possibility he could reject her, but she wanted him to come apart from the fact that she would like to thank him, she would also like to see him because she missed him. She had thought about him almost every day since she left to the palace.
They also had a pending conversation to finish, she had questions to ask him. She wanted to know if it was truly him she had seen that evening.
And she also had suspicion that he was the one who rescued her, they had the same familiar scent. A scent of sweet citrus and sweat, just like the burst of sunlight after a heavy rain. That was the scent she had associated with Doni.
