Gideon shed tears as he watched the corpse in his arm. His eyes glowed with both anger and grief. His heart was tied with an invisible chain, and every other thing around him was black to his sight.
Melissa looked at her sword which was stained with Doris' blood. Admiring the blood, a smirk appeared on her face. She brought the sword close to her and then, she licked the blood.
"What did you do, Melissa?" Amy asked and Melissa smirked.
"I did what needs to be done! Don't question me" Melissa said in a cold tone as she looked at Doris' dead body.
"Do you need to be so cruel? That's your son's wife for Chris's sake!!" Amy yelled out as she clenched her fist. Melissa became furious and slapped her.
"Know your place!!" She spat and Amy smiled.
"You are showing your true colors now! All my men will retreat... You will face Elisa yourself" Amy said as she signaled her men to retreat and leave the battlefield. Melissa was angered.
"Really? You want to betray me?" Melissa said and Amy walked closer to her.
"You betrayed us first... You killed someone dear to all of us... You miserable wretched mother!!" Amy hollered and Melissa pierced her sword through her. She stabbed her in her tummy.
"Even in your grave... You will regret ever releasing me from the dungeon or even knowing me!!" Melissa mercilessly said and Amy smiled bitterly.
"If I ever knew that things would end like this, I would never have helped you. The Melissa then is different from now! I've done good, so I'm happy that I'm leaving" Amy said as she spat blood. Amy died.
Amy fell on the floor dead. Melissa scoffed as she grabbed her sword.
"Give me her body," Melissa told Gideon. Melissa looked like the real devil. Her eyes were red, filled with mystery, hate, and anger.
"Mom?" Kai staggered as he walked to her. He still couldn't believe his eyes. He couldn't believe that the girl that meant the world to him was dead. It was a scary nightmare.
"Don't come closer to me, Kai, or you will end up like them" Melissa warned without dashing him a glance.
"So, this is you!! You killed my wife" Kai was angered as he swung his sword. Melissa was smart enough to dodge the unexpected attack. She was shocked. She knew that she wouldn't have been so smart, it was Doris' blood that was activating inside her. She wanted more to defeat Elisa.
Kai didn't stop there, he kept on attacking her... Melissa was injured severely by Kai's attack because she could feel her head spinning. What was going on?
"Why did you kill her...tell me!!" He swung his sword one last time and Melissa was thrown to the ground.
"I did it because I want to save you, me, and my Kingdom. With Doris' blood, your curse would be broken...I will regain my powers back and Elisa would never win against me!" Melissa hollered out as she breathed hard.
"You did it for your selfish reasons!! I hate you...I will kill you!" Kai was about to attack again but he stop when he heard Gideon's voice.
"Your Highness??" Gideon looked mystified and confused as his eyes wandered around.
"Her body is missing," A soldier said and all eyes began to search around. Kai dropped his sword as he ran to Gideon.
"Where's our body??" Kai asked Gideon but the guy was so scared and confused to even look at Kai.
"Her body was here a while ago... Nobody moved" Amanda came into view and spoke.
"What??" Kai exclaimed as he rubbed his hands roughly on his face.
A male servant instantly came running into the battlefield with sweat dripping from his clothes...
"Elisa is dead... Someone murdered her" The man said with his body shaking. All heads were turned to him in disbelief.
Melissa stood up in shock as she looked at him. Appearing before him, she grabbed his collar and pulled him up...
"What did you say?" Melissa asked with cold eyes looking intensely into his eyes.
"I saw Elisa's dead body murdered beside the palace gate," He said in a shivering tone.
