Chereads / Rose's Primrose Path / Chapter 7 - The Murderer

Chapter 7 - The Murderer

I ran with Jyoti as we screamed, and cried. We rode on a horse, and we began to search for them. Soon, the palace dog started sniffing something.

We rushed to his direction and heard Queen Ahyeon screaming and crying.

Queen Ahyeon was in front of someone, shaking the person and asking her to wake up. Jyoti and i rushed to her, and my whole world fell to the ground on seeing Alyssa - dead.

"ALYSSA!!!!" I screamed and fell to the ground. Queen Ahyeon kept on wailing and crying, but she didn't open her eyes. I was so devastated.

First, my parents were imprisoned.

And now my sister's dead?

How could life be this cruel?! I burst into tears and squeezed her hand.

"Alyssa, wake up for me.Please...! Alyssa! You promised you'd stay. Why did you leave me alone like this? You are the worst ALYSSA!!!" I yelled, crying. Suddenly, i looked at Queen Ahyeon. She looked unkempt and she was wearing a traditional Korean dress. Her face was swollen from crying.

I gave her a scornful glare and she turned to look at me.

"Daughter, why are you staring at me like that?"

"SINCE WHEN DID I BECOME YOUR DAUGHTER YOU WITCH?" i yelled. Jyoti and the others turned to look at me in shock.

'How are you guys so sure that Ahyeon met her here dead? Did you guys even think that Ahyeon killed her?" Everyone gasped on hearing that.

"Yes Ahyeon." I went closer to her and she looked at me, fighting back tears.

"Why would i wanna kill your sister?" Queen Ahyeon asked.

"Because you hate us!"

"If only you knew who killed her, you wouldn't been here right now." Queen Ahyeon said and started sobbing, stroking my sister's hair.

Then i realized i was wrong.

I killed her daughter, yet she showed sympathy and cried over my sister.

I knelt near her and asked;

"Who killed Alyssa? Please tell me."She sniffed and said the four words i never imagined could do such.

"Prince Ethan Of Racalyn..." She sobbed.

"WHAT?!' This Prince never cease to disappoint me.

The man who i thought was actually perfect, Stella was even making my option hard by saying all those nice things about him, is actually a murderer!!!

Now am done with this TLW!

Am gonna kill him right away.

I stormed off and told Jyoti i was on my way to Racalyn. Jyoti didn't question me much, she just borrowed me a white horse, and i rode off to Racalyn. I got there at night and quickly went to Stella's cottage.

I saw her near the fire place reading, A COMIC BOOK!

I went towards her and flung the book into the fireplace.

"WHAT THE HECK, ROSE?" She snarled and i chuckled.

"Oh wow, you mean to say you were not even worried about what the army must have done to me?" I frowned.

"Done to you? Of course they are your army, and they only took you to May, right?" Stella asked.

"Guess what"

"What?" She still looked annoyed.

"My sister is dead." I broke down in tears.

"OMG! Princess Alyssa??" She asked nearly crying.

"Yeah."

"Am so sorry Princess Rose. Please be strong, at least for TLW. I was waiting for you so we could get dressed.' I wiped my tears and stood up.

"I am not going for TLW."

"What?" Stella was taken aback.

"Even the prince hosting this will not be alive to kiss his bride." I told her and she gasped.

"ROSE! WHY?" She yelled.

"PRINCE ETHAN KILLED MY SISTER!" I cried aloud and passed out immediately.

Few minutes later, i woke up on Stella's bed. She was looking so worried about me.

"What did you say earlier? Prince Ethan killed Alyssa? Heck no! That's not possible! Who gave you that information?" Stella asked.

"QUEEN AHYEON." I answered.

"Queen Ahyeon???" She asked and started cackling.

"You easily believed what she said? Who knows if she's plotting against you, Alyssa and Ethan?"

"She's not plotting anything." I said and she scoffed.

"You really think so?" Stella asked.

"Yup." I said, thinking of the type of death Ethan should die.

You guys should help me decide.

By sword, that's the beheading method.

By knife....my favorite method.

Or by drowning.....

Choose, Rose, choose.

Stella didn't speak anymore and just went to get our dresses. Hers was a pink flare short gown, while mine was a long white flare gown, with a rose belt. We took our leave without saying a word to each other. We met Bella at the castle, wearing a long pink body hug dress, with her beautiful black hair, and BANGS!

'Woah, i never knew Bella had bangs." I told Stella, but she stayed quiet.

"Okay fine....am sorry..i won't kill Prince Ethan. Now, are we good." She smiled shortly.

"You can't apologize well." She said and i chuckled. She squeezed my hand again.

"GIRLS! YOU DIDN'T COME TO THE STALL! Kurt was around!" She took Stella's hand and drifted it away from mine.

I was surprised at that.

"Who do you want? Kurt or Ethan?" Stella laughed.

"Kurt is not my boyfriend." Bella frowned and i jumped into the discussion.

"Kurt and Bella, sitting on a tree." I danced and Bella pushed me. We reached the hall, and the prince and Vivian were there. The girls were on a straight line and we joined them.

This time, the Prince wanted us to have a drink making spree.

We would make drinks, all night.

If you ask me, i think this is the sly way to get him killed.

Yeah, because my nickname's vixen, i kill slowly....

Prince Ethan gave me, Bella, Stella, Kanya and Princess Sapphira extra10 marks for dressing well. I was on 55 marks, Bella was on 45, Stella was on 44, Kanya was on 80 and Sapphira 88.

These girls were close to winning, and i really had to beat them.

Not that i really wanted to be TLW, but i just wanna win this, before i kill him. As he gave us the order, we ran towards the kitchen.

Dear, we don't have 10 kitchens.

There are only 4 kitchens in the palace.

Me, Kanya, Song Daiyu and Angelina the scottish girl were a team.

Sapphira and Stella were a team.

Kylie and Jenner were a team, and Scarlett and Bella were a team.

The kitchen was amazing, bigger than our kitchen back in May. And i was sure it was gonna be so strange to talk to aliens. I mean a Thai girl, Scottish and Chinese.

Plus, it was gonna be so hard to add poison, since these girls were here. They began making their juice, and i didn't even know anything in the kitchen.

"Um, Ms Song, can you please show me where the cups are?" I asked her and she smiled at me. Her emerald eyes, and her long black hair with beautiful red lips melted my heart.

"Its right here, Princess." she told me, and i must say, her accent was pretty amazing. The other girls soon started communicating with me, and we became friends. Before we knew it, it was 2am, and we had made 55 smoothies.

The next morning, i opened my eyes. That was when i realized, we all slept after the 120th smoothie.

I bet no one would pull that off. As the huge bells rang, everyone started running down the stairs, the hallways with their tray of drinks. And let me tell you facts; Bella and I's group came with three whole carts.

Some of us were even discussing the funny moments, when we were making the drinks. As we heard a loud thud and a total disaster, everyone rushed downstairs. Jenner's tray was on the ground, and her smoothie was spilled. Everyone watched in tears as she cried profusely.

Now this...was my chance.....

I slowly walked towards Sapphira's cart.

Perfect.

There was a tag with her name on it. I hurriedly opened the drawers, searching for the poison, and found it.

Well it wasn't deadly.

It would just do a lot of this.....and that....

I added it to most of her smoothies, and went downstairs with my drinks.
