I can't take it anymore... it's really not fair he he treats her like this.. I know she made a mistake but if she wasn't pushed she wouldn't do it even if it make me unhappy...
"What's your game in this?"
"Excuse me...? You really are audacious aren't you? Coming into my palace to question me...do you want me to have your head?"
"That's what you wanted anyway" I scoffed... listening to his bull shit is way annoying than I expected
"Why did you have to put innocent people on the line for your selfish interest... first it was ivory.. then Tarius,then my mother...why are you being so cruel" shouting at an idiot like him doesn't worth it..
"Well it's all for you... I hope you like it!"
"Torturing innocent people...! what do I ever do to you?" if my sins can't be redeemed I'll will...
"All this years I thought you were smart...but since I know this is probably the last time you'll be in this palace... I'll gladly tell you "
"You planned all this...you want me to be humiliated... banishing me was your plan all along " my voice seems to chock at this sudden revelation that I was looking for
"Yes... that's right! All these years I watched you grow..do you know how hard it is...to watch another seed in my house and in my life!!!"
"What do you mean...?" I act clueless...
"Your sweet mother didn't tell you...well I will. You are a bastard... and raising and man's child is really difficult. Vera showered you with love and I had to make her get pregnant to the heir of anthill...but she gave birth to a shame!"
' A shame... Ivory...a shame...'
"How can you say that about ivory...she gave her life for your kingdom..."
"Well someone has to make a sacrifice. But it would have been preferred if you had died. Ivory is cute and her death was painful...she could have gotten close to her brothers if she were alive but win some lose some" clearly there was no hint of sadness in his eye
"You are really despicable... I lived half of my existence to please you...even until now am still playing your little game"
"Oh... it's no little game... it's a huge one once you realize it it will be too late missy"
"Whatever you are planning... I'll ruin it "
"Let's see you try...do gather up all your courage and put on a good show for me"
"Fine then but at least do you know who my father is...?"
" You still want to know that bastard...? it is I who took you in and kept your secret and protect your mother... you ungrateful wretch "
"Of course I want to know him. Because no matter how it was if he knew he had a child he won't let this matter of you torturing me slide "
"Do you know him?" " Do you want to tell me..so that I can find him? I trust in my intuition that it can't be a lowly man that my mother chose over you...it must be someone powerful or prestigious for you to act all jealous even if it was just a one taste thing. And besides if he was a lowly man you would have ordered his death..."
His changed expression made my conclusion complete... Cedric is really power for Zuma to handle...he retreat during the war and forgot about it completely...what a coward!!
"Get out.... I'll make you suffer for this! Both you and your mother...!"
"Don't you dare!!!"
******
I have waited long for tarius next letter... what's going on...
"There is a battle royale going on in the anthill Kingdom.."
A battle royale will pin down my child there... what's Zuma thinking of doing such a thing... she isn't interested in his dung hole called kingdom... and I haven't heard from Vera for some days now
"Can you stop worrying about someone else..?"
"Tressy...not now!"
"You do know that you are hurting me by thinking of another woman... aren't you happy with me?"
"Enough of all this sentiment nonsense... don't emotionally blackmail me alright. I have given you wealth.. what else do you want?"
"Your heart..." she wimped
"Do oblige yourself to dream on "
"But I have our child....!"
"Three emotional disasters...are those children?"
"How can you say that....? They are your flesh and blood!!!"
"And I regret it!"
Tressy can't blackmail me now... what I need is Vera and my daughter by my side any other thing can be forgotten...let me write a letter to her...
"Get me a paper and ink"
A servant rushed in...he is my letter dispenser... definitely must have received letter for me
"Let me see" it's not from Vera..this handwriting looks a bit likes hers but more sinister than that... it's seems there is trouble but am adviced to stay out of it...is it Zuma....?
Underneath the letter I saw a name...' Violet '...my daughter is writing to me... definitely she knows who I am to her.
I'll await your arrival my dear... your bravery will be commended when you come to your own land.
******
Down to the trail of the smelly dungeon... violet's steps was calculating and silent...she frowns at the situation her uncle is
"Uncle... I thought you are getting better...?"
"My dear...am so sorry for not being able to help you "
"Am sorry too for dragging you into my mess...it wasn't my intention"
"I understand now how much you must have suffered with Zuma...he is an animal" he coughs... blood!
"Uncle... are you doing okay?" her eyes widen in disbelief and fear
"Am supposed to be better... Zuma gave me the antidote...."
"Antidote...did you take it..?"
"Yes...." ' This is bad ' violet thought
"How does it taste?" " Extremely sweet...for something so important it tasted sweet but I stop taking it for some reason that I can put my finger on"
" Uncle....!"
"What's the problem?..."
"You.... you... you took the next level of poison need to paralyzed your entire body... and it is fatal...no antidote for it" Violet cried silently... tarius could only smile knowing that his time is up.
"Do take care of yourself and your mother...find your father because only he can protect you..."
"Am so sorry for being so useless...I tried getting the antidote but I couldn't find it..." she wimped in silent pain that plunge her heart
"Don't cry for me dear...do your best to get out of here. There is a key in a box I kept in my chambers in the South Dakota...go and take it to start a new life... everything there is yours. I don't have any children but you are my daughter so take it and leave. Don't come down here anymore alright....? as a man his tears were inside and his whims was more painful in his heart
"Don't tell your mother yet...get out of here first or she'll do something nasty...go...get out of here!!!!" it was so hard to separate...even if he wanted to be by her side and fulfill all of his promises to her...he couldn't do anything now
"I promise to find a way out... I won't let you die uncle I won't...!!!!" Violet had a killer instinct in her eyes as she ran out... tarius hope she won't act so carelessly because of him.
