Tactics for blood

The next thing right now is to kill that good for nothing low life scum...am going to make sure he pays for what he dis to Uncle Tarius...i was bustling through the gates when...

"My lady you have to calm down..."

"Leon get out of my way or I'll cut you where you stand..."

"You can't go there without a plan...if you do you'll only fasten his death and that's of your mother in grave danger. I know we can't save him but the queen is still waiting for you to come as planned... please"

"What's the tantrum for...?"

My nerves rolled up again when is saw the mocking expression of Sylvester...

"Giving up already... don't cry... I told you so"

' I'll kill you before I leave this place... I promise ' I thought within me.. I can't let my plans ve ruined..that would mean my doom

"Not so fast... I was upset of the lack of fairness in this duel...how can a fist man without brains win the royale... it's too easy" I nod to shake of my emotions and be in balance...the horrible look on Sylvester's face amuse me even more.

"I see that cat caught your tongue... I'll take my leave...!".

"I'll remind you of this day when you insult the future king.. you've got death on your doors"

"....." I gave him a cold piercing smirk...' I'll kill you all before that happens '

I couldn't sleep...my mind was in chaos... I'll lose my uncle, won't I lose my mother...or worse my life...

' She gave birth to a shame " suddenly ring to my ear... and I decided to pay my obedient sister a visit

Flowers have long withered on her grave... it's like no one came to visit her...not even mother...what a pity. I brought her favorite flower.. pink roses and some honey flavoured wine..

"Ivory...am I suppose to make jest of you right now...will you hate me? Will you hate me if i told you now that....' I told you so '....

Anthill is not worth your sacrifice... your despicable father has made life difficult for your sweet uncle and you know what....he tagged you a shame...a shame. Only if you had allowed me to let those people burn this place to the ground but you didn't... you cared about people who don't love you the way you do.

Why don't you go ahead and hunt them in their sleep...." I laughed at my pathetic state...but all this would soon be over once I kill those bastards and go meet my father...my father...

But how sure am I that he would not treat me worse than Zuma did...he could sell me as a slave or rather still I'll be another bastard in his house.

"Hey ivory...what if I told you that am really a bastard uhn... you never believed it when we were kids..but I know you aren't blind in the other world you can see what's up in here...so don't worry more show is coming... blood will flow " I can't wait to have Zuma's head on a plate for all the pain he inflicted emotionally on my mother... physically on my uncle and mentally on me.

I'll start with his son's first!!!!! I'll make sure his hope on those bastards will be ruined and I'll rule anthill the way I want.

******

"What..?" I can't believe what am hearing.. I gave the old fool a simple order and he dare go against me...what an audacity

"I didn't tell you to feed him yet... can't you listen to simple instructions... why are you this foolish?"

" Am sorry your majesty... I just wanted to help since it's what you do later in the end" on his knees he shivers in sweat begging and pleading

"So...? So what...?! Whatever I don't order.. you don't do it!!!"

"It won't happen next time sire...".

"There would be no next time.... guards...!!! Take him to the execution ground and behead him...take all his family and hang them as well"

"Your majesty please...have mercy on my family... please"

"Get him out of here or else I'll have you all die with him."

This lunatic has ruined my plans...if Vera hears of it she'll definitely collapse and I won't be able to tame her anymore...damn that hag...rot in hell loser!!!!

*****

The whole city tremble as they watched the execution of the grand enuch...it was bloody and cruel... though the quickest method of pain but before that shivers of sweat had ran through many

"The king is indeed cruel..."

"Better watch your mouth if you don't want to die because of your lose mouth"

" But the truth be told...what ever they had done doesn't warrant such a way of death... public shaming of the soon to be dead "

"You mean dead... their heads are off already..."

"You people are too stupid... didn't you hear the edict...they are rebellious... they have conspired with outside forces that caused war then... that's how we lost our dear princess "

"Yes...they deserve nothing but death...we almost lose princess Violet... that beautiful soul suffered in the hands of the enemy... death is the befitting punishment "

Everyone supports the king's decision...but none of them knew that the road to hell comes in diverse way and the road to the truth is as straight but few walks on it

*****

"Zuma is really devilish...he had killed the grand enuch ""I never imagined the king to be this despicable...he killed his own ally"

" Well that what he is...my uncle was his ally and he let him suffer a painful way of dieing...he is in pain"

"We can't find any herb that can help him...he has to go"

"That painful...let me be alone..."

*****

" father's way of doing things is indeed despicable... rebellion without any evidence... it's so unfortunate that the whole of anthill is ignorant and stupid... easily deceived easily manipulated..."

"Your highness... I found Lord tarius...he is a painful situation worst than death in the dungeon "

"What...why is he in the dungeon?"

"Even the queen is on house arrest... I don't know about it yet because it was deeply concealed. A guard told me that Lord tarius has been fed deadly poison produced by the grand enuch and that's why he had kicked the bucket "

"You can go...how about violet?"

"She appears so strong... but on the surface she is hurting. I saw her going to the grave yard of princess ivory yesterday..."

"Leave!"

My father is really malicious and cunning...why would he do that? Did tarius serve as a threat to his kingdom or what? I have to see violet.

The garden was dead... it's like no life has been here for centuries... when I last came here violet looked so beautiful while swinging her sword and the garden made her looks so beautiful like a goddess but it's all like a grave yard and there she was at the corner drinking wine...

"Violet...are you okay?" she didn't give me an answer..she continues to drink like I wasn't watching...

"Violet....!!!!"

"What....?!!! Leave me alone!"

"Your highness..." her humble stead came in looking so tired.. I guess he is the only one she has now...

"Let me help you up...my lady please stop drinking.." he urged her in a voice that's filled with tears and I couldn't help but feel pity for her

"Let me help..." I lifted her up and head to her chambers...she looks so fragile in my hands and her beautiful face was so pale and her lips was so red...

I put her on the bed while he light on some candles...

"Why put on a candle while she is asleep...?"

"She is terrified of the dark .. she'll have nightmares if I don't on the candles " he said with a sigh...

"Nightmares....?" I looked at the sleeping beauty who acts so tough like tiger but she is really cute while she sleeps

"Yes...scary nightmares...she had being suffering form a serious truma... I don't know what she dreams about but whenever she wakes up she cries alot till she fall asleep again "

I can't imagine the amount of suffering she had gone through...

"I can stay here to watch her sleep..." what the heck is wrong with me...why am I acting all caring and all....he looked at me keenly interested in what I was thinking

"She's my sister and I want to help " I spilled out

"That's not appropriate...if she see you here she'll scold me. she hates people watching her while she sleeps. whenever she wakes up from a nightmare...she cuddle herself like a ball and she'll refuse anyone's help including that of the queen... she's used to relying on herself."

"You seem to know alot about her!"

"Yes your highness... I have been by her side all my life....we grew up together at some point in our lives..."

"And you don't have any other motive for staying by her side... it's considered treason"

"I have a wife and two children in the east... I came back after my punishment, she needs me by her side"

"I can help..."

"She's going to refuse... I'll tell you clearly... sire...if there's something she wants more is to never see anyone in this palace. But please if the time comes that she'll act rashly beyond my control please help her."

He was on his knees... definitely she had planned to do something stupid... silly girl!

"I give you my word"
