Chapter 36 - 36

Shortly after, they arrived at the private hospital.

Hugo already called Brandon as they walked towards the emergency ward.

He already processed her admission papers as they have been planning it last time. Louise needed psychologist because of what happened last night.

Inside the private ward.

"What happened?" Brandon asked as he stared at the psychologist attending the agitated Louise.

"Lucia told her some things..." Augustus answered.

Brandon looked at him. He didn't say anything but he started suspecting of how things were happening.

"Tell Lander to reinvestigate Lucia Mu." Augustus told Hugo who was silently waiting on the side.

"Yes, Master." Hugo walked out from the room to make the call.

Louise was sedated to calm her down. She was sleeping and the two men discussed some things.

"If Lucia wanted to harm her, why now? She could have harmed her before she woke up..." Brandon couldn't get it.

Lucia's background were clean. She was specifically hired by Jonas to take care of Louise and even handed Louise's safety to her.

"Things aren't that simple..." Augustus shared his view as he narrowed his eyes remembering the night of the ambush.

Lucia didn't show any signs of betrayal. In fact, she was really saddened by the fact that Louise is in coma up until yesterday.

So, where could have gone wrong? Did they miss out something?

He needed to wipe things out for her. She's still weak. When she's stronger, he will let her soar to the sky along with him.

Brandon stayed silent. Augustus was not the type of man who will just stay still when he knew his people are in danger.

"I'll go back to work first. Tell me if you have found some thing." Brandon started to walk towards the door.

"En. I will. Thanks." Augustus said.

"No need for thanks. I wish she could wake up without any problem." Brandon said and glanced at Louise.

"I hope so. I will execute my plans now. I still need your help when the time comes..." Augustus patted his shoulder and sent him off.

"You can count on me." Brandon nodded.

Augustus closed the door and walked back towards the bed.

He held her hands and kissed it lightly.

"We will make them pay for what they have done to you... I promise that." Augustus uttered while staring at her sleeping face.

"Let me go back... Alice can't die. She can't die..." She struggled out from their clutches but it was futile.

The two men were her personal guards.

"Your Majesty. We will not let you go back. Alice sacrificed her life to let you escape! Please, don't let her sacrifice became a naught." One of the guards pleaded.

"But..." She tried to retort but she couldn't find anything to.

"Your Majesty, someone is coming." The other guard said softly.

"Search the forest. She's still here!" Someone shouted.

The scene of her dream changed. The guards who were guarding here were ladled with wounds.

"Please forgive us Your Majesty...." One of the guards hit the back of her head.

When she woke up, she was on the process of changing.

"Hurry! The ceremony is about to start!" Someone shouted.

The maids hastened their moves and not long after, she saw herself donning a white wedding dress.

"Where am I?"
