Chereads / STEEL, BLOOD AND LOVE / Chapter 38 - Leona.

Chapter 38 - Leona.

The three queens run down a dark corridor, trying to escape the soldiers. They run into walls because of the darkness in this corridor. The soldiers capture them, they pull them out of the corridor and walk up a set of stairs underneath a rug. The rug was moved and the plate covering it was 2 meters away from the set of stairs.

"You can't do this, we are this kingdom's queens." One of the soldiers hit the queen over her mouth. "Former queen, and former kingdom. Theodore Bloodhearth is our true king, lord and savior. Shut your mouths, you aren't chosen by the gods as he is!"

The soldiers bring the queens in front of Theodore, in the Throne room. All of them looked scared, but Theodore looked annoyed, mad at them. "I don't care if you would've run, BUT to let YOUR children die, it's outrageous."

Theodore gets off his Throne, and one of them, looking a lot like Seraphine, the same blue hair, the same eyes, the same body type asks Theodore: "Where are the children, did you kill them?" Theodore looks at her, he pulls out a pistol and tries to shoot her but the finger won't move, he smiles.

"I can't kill you, I can't kill a Bloodhearth as you can't kill me." He gives her the gun, she tries to shoot him but she can't. Theodore gives his casual smirk and takes the gun away from her. "Soldiers, execute these two in front of the people, this one can live."

The two other queens get on their knees. "Please don't kill us, we will be your wives, your slaves. PLEASE!" Their shout is heard towards the outside. The people outside are angry. "Kill them!" They scream. Theodore makes a move from his wrist and the soldiers bring the two begging queens to the balcony. The soldiers shoot them in the head, and the crowd is pleased. "Where is the third?" Asked someone from the crowd. "Lord Bloodhearth can't kill her, at least for now."

Theodore looks at the third queen. "What is the name your father gave you?" The woman shakes her head. "Where is my child?" Theodore grabs her hand, "Everyone can follow me."

He moves out of the throne room and walks on a long corridor, they arrive in front of a smaller door, Theodore opens it. The queen sees Seraphine taking care of the children.

She looks at Seraphine, and remembers what her husband made her do. "So you are one of my children?" Seraphine looks at her and smiles. "I am Seraphine, a product genetically modified from your DNA and Theodore, so technically you are my mother, yes."

Theodore moves out of her way. "Remember this, I let you live, but you'll be my most loyal person. Now what name did your father give you?" She shakes her head.

"My father was killed, and my mother sold me over to the king, I don't know, I don't have a name, it's the first time I ever heard that I am a Bloodhearth." Theodore looks at her with pity.

He hugs her. "I give you a name." Theodore closed his eyes, "Leona Bloodhearth, that's what name you should have." She nods her head. "We will talk later, Leona"

He prepares to leave them be. "Before I leave, I have to let you know that I will do my best to keep you alive." Theodore leaves them alone. He walks away after he closes the door behind them, he finally smiles, knowing that another Bloodhearth exists on this planet
