Samaira was roughly pushed into the dark cell almost causing her to fall on her face. Though she did fall on the dirty ground, she stood back up frantically and swiftly turned to the guards, her pale face covered in tears.
" Believe me.... I DID NOT KILL THE KING, I couldn't have... I'M INNOCENT", she yelled out in a weak voice but the guards who had thrown her into the cell remained stoned face, not baring to answer her as they locked the cell.
" Please let me out", She shrieked with her hands on the bars of the cell, her entire form was very dirty but it did not bother her. How could it bother her when she was being accused of murder?
The light in her brown eyes dimmed as new fresh tears replaced the old flowing ones. Constantly she was sniffing her nose repeating the same words over and over again even though no one was listening to her, at least not in the right way.
They all believed she killed the King. They believed her, Samaira Roberts, had killed their King, they were terming her a traitor although she was actually innocent.
" I did not kill the King, BELIEVE ME.... Papa, Papa...", Samaira cried out louder than before. How did her whole life result to this?
" She killled my Father, let me in so I can kill her myself", Princess Amelia yelled out from outside of the prison area.
Her appearance was completely disheveled, the news had broken her to the core, all her dreams had been shattered in just one day.. She wanted to shatter that person... she wanted to exact revenge.
She forced her way through the maids who were trying to hold her back. " Let me IN", she shouted out looking all angry and possessed.
The guards had not been given orders to restrain her so they let her stomp into the prison area to go see the new prisoner.
" You", Princess Amelia said banging the bars of the cell sharply causing Samaira to become suddenly frightened.
She moved to a little dirty corner as if hiding away as she stared back up at Amelia's dreadful eyes. She felt unsafe and alone, tears were pooling out of her eyes as well.
" I will murder you myself for what you have done... You have taken my child's right away from him... You are a witch, a terrible one and I will so kill you today", she shouted as she banged the cell turning to stare at the watchful guards.
" Open this cell... what are you staring at? Open this cell immediately ", Princess Amelia thundered at the Guards with very fierce eyes and they immediately rushed to open the cell.
Standing in the Castle's throne room, Dino ran his hand through his hair like a confused being, he couldn't mourn in front of the court officials and he could not hide the fact that he was feeling hollow.
He stared at the face of all the court officials who stood in front of their various seats with curious faces, they were waiting to hear what he was going to say.
And what was he to say? That the traitor must be punished and buried, that his Father must be put in the ground for his dead soul to be at peace or that preparations be made so he, the crown prince, could ascend the throne.
" NO", he shouted loudly in his head but instead it came out from his mouth and the officials stared at him with a little pity. He stared back at them and furiously ran his hand through his messy brown hair.
He really could not be calm, his father had been murdered, the King has been murdered.
" She must be killed for what she has done, we must bury her alive alongside the late King", one of the court officials spoke and they all nodded in agreement but Dino turned away from them and closed his eyes.
He could not seriously tell them to leave so he walked out of the throne room instead. He knew this would make them view him as a not so responsible ruler but seriously unlike them he wasn't that gullible.
His Father had definitely been murdered and it hurt him very much but to think that someone else had been framed for it, he could not help but wonder how? How all this happened without him noticing?
Someone had snuck into the castle, killed his Father and framed it on another person and all of these were so skillfully done, everyone was now a suspect, not just the lady locked away in the prison, everybody in this Castle was a suspect.
The Queens all gathered in the common room, all dressed in black as they mourned the death of their Husband.
They had not been present at his introduction ceremony because they had no reason to be there but who knew that they would never see him again after their last meet with him.
" I knew it all along... that girl was simply no good.., I knew from day one", exclaimed Queen Esther who had tears on her cheeks.
" Be quiet Esther or else you would be termed her accomplice", Queen Rebecca requested in a low voice, her eyes also covered in tears but they were just there in her eyes, not falling at all, just gathered in her eyes.
" We have been made widows, our husband has been killed, this is a tragedy my queens, a tragedy", sobbed the fourth queen who sat down on one of the chairs in the common room alongside the fifth queen.
The first Queen, the first wife of them all, Queen Leticia, had her eyes looking absolutely nowhere but into space.
It appeared as though she had gone into shock. She kept mumbling very odd words, though none of the queens paid attention to her as they were all lost in their own tragic worlds.
The King, their husband was a very good King who treated them each with respect and although he never showed them love, they were always contempt, he was a bright man and a very sweet one at that.
" I knew she was no good Rebecca.. from the day she spoke those ' HONEST' words at the dinner table catching the eyes of Edward, I knew she was simply no good", Queen Esther, whispered over to Queen Rebecca like a deranged woman pacing back and forth.
" We are now widows", sobbed the fourth wife once again but the second wife, Queen Amanda just stood there feeling less concerned about her fellow queens and more concerned about herself.
Her daughter, Princess Amelia Carmichael might go mad hearing this news after all she had switched her female child for a male all in the name of gaining favor in the eyes of the King.
Knowing that all those hard work had all been for waste, Amelia might seriously go mad. She needed to be find a way to make sure that Amelia's hard work never goes to waste. She has to make sure Dino treats the boy like King Edward would have but how?
She had no time to cry about a man she never loved. Seriously, what was the point anyway? He married more women after her and all she ever wanted was an important place in his life.
Yet the wife after her, Queen Rebecca, got that importance, by giving the King his only Son and soon enough that woman would be regarded as the new King's mother.
She had managed to give him a grand son through her daughter but he died before he could even make her important in this Castle, now what was she to do about Dino? Would Dino treat the baby just like Edward would have if he were still alive?
Just as Princess Amelia entered the prison cell which was holding Samaira, she was immediately dragged out of it by her husband, Young Duke Phillip.
" Lock the cells", he exclaimed ordering the guards as he dragged Princess Amelia out of the cell and out of the prison area.
" Let me go Phillip, I want to kill her", Amelia yelled as she fought with Phillip who dragged her out unceremoniously by the hands, causing a scene in the process.
Samaira heard the departing voice of Princess Amelia and the clicking of the cell lock as it was locked once again. She was subconsciously shaking her head as though she were trying to prove herself innocent without saying words.
Slowly, she slipped from the wall she had previously been glued to dropping on the floor like a lost soul. " I.... I.... did not kill the King", she said as a droplet of tears slipped from her eyes and other soon followed suit.
Her memories took her back to the last time they had spoken, the last time she had seen him and the events that took place just two days after the introduction ceremony.
