Chapter 15 - EXECUTION

The palace maids took me to the carriage that had been prepared by one of the imperial butler. Out of all only one maid escorted me to the cold palace.

I stepped out and lifted my head. Right in front of me was the famous cold palace. It was famous for the it's rumours. They said only the people who do not have a love one anymore but has to be a part of the royal family reside here.

I lowered my head and saw some of the cold palace maids standing in front of the gate. One of the maids stepped up and said "Greetings lady Lucifer. My name is Julia. I am the head maid of the cold palace and these are my other staff" everyone behind her bowed "You will be staying over here from now onwards, so if you have any complains please inform me."

"Yes thank you." I replied.

She then took me to my room. I laid down on the bed and started thinking about everything that had happened today. As I was recalling the incidences tears started to flow. I couldn't stop myself. I cried and cried for an hour continuously. After I was done, I closed my eyes to rest and fell asleep.

*BANG BANG

Someone knocked at the door. I got startled. I got up, wiped my face and opened the door. Front of me stood one of the imperial maid.

"Greetings lady Lucifer, the emperor has summoned you at the imperial palace." the maid said

"Ok I will fix myself and depart for the palace." I replied

"As you wish lady Lucifer." she said and walked away.

I fixed my hair, cleaned my face and fixed my dress then went to the front door of the palace where a carriage was waiting for me. I sat inside with the maid and rode to the imperial palace.

Upon reaching the butler took me to a place where the emperor was sitting. The emperor then took me to a balcony looking place. I looked down and saw many commoners who looked angry. I also saw guillotine on a stage like platform. I turned towards the emperor and saw a evil expression on his face while he was sitting on the only chair in the balcony which frightened me.

"Your majesty, why did you bring me over here?" I asked.

"Oh you will see, Anathe." the emperor replied.

I got an ominous feeling. After 15 minutes the gate near the guillotine opened. I was in shock when I saw the people coming out of the gate. Father, brother, Rowally, Alice, Nevel, Miss Drass, Count Drass and Countess Drass appeared on the platform.

As I was looking, two royal soldiers grabbed my arms tightly. I was shocked.

"Mark de el Lucifer please step forward towards the guillotine." said the executor who was wearing a black mask.

Father stepped forward and kept his head on the wooden surface.

"STOP! NO! WAIT! STOP! PLEASE! YOUR MAJESTY PLEASE! PAAAAPPPPPAAAAA!" I screamed as the axe fell down.

*Khatang

Blood was everywhere. Father's head fell down the platform. The executor removed father's body and told brother to come.

I cried and screamed as everyone on the platform died one by one front of me. I couldn't do anything. I was helpless.

After the execution was over, the soldiers left my hand and I dropped to the ground. The tears flew continuously without stopping for a single moment.

I heard the emperor say "Take her back."

Two of the imperial manservant took me to the carriage. I saw Julia sitting in it.

"Please come inside lady Lucifer." she said

I went in and we left for the cold palace.

After reaching I straight went to my room and locked myself. I cried untill I fell asleep.
