NEXT MORNING
There was a serious issue going on in the Palace, and you could tell because the royal family was present at the Institute with many guards.
An emergency Assembly was called, and all the students were gathered outside as the royal family stood in front of the gathering.
" Pardon us for alarming you like this, but it's because of a serious matter that just happened at the Institute recently. Someone sneaked into the Palace yesterday and stole a precious jewel, and it is suspected that the thief is amongst you." A spokesman announced, and everyone gasped.
" Please, we're trying to gather every evidence possible to lead us to the culprit. If you think that you know anything about this, please step forward." He spoke further.
" I know exactly who stole the jewel." Hester voiced out, and everyone paved the way from her as she stepped to the front.
Her eyes landed on Kimora in the crowd, and she smirked immediately. Kimora looked confused and alarmed.
" Kimora must've stolen it because I saw her sneaking into the Institute yesterday night with something new glistening on her neck. I believe she has what you're looking for." Hester accused, and more gasps erupted as all eyes turned to Kimora.
Her heart exploded as she found no words to defend herself. She was shocked by the bone marrow.
The guards came and started inspecting her. A guard heart-shaped pendant on her neck and pulled it off immediately.
" The stolen item has been found! She's the thief!" He shouted, and Kimora was grabbed immediately.
" Present her forward." King Devon ordered, and Kimora was pushed roughly and forced to kneel in front of him as she struggled.
" For having such audacity to steal from the Royal Palace of Euphoria, I'm greatly ashamed to even look at you. My final decision is that you'll be turned into a slave. You'll work day and night in the Palace and be given one square meal a week, without getting any breaks. You'll be treated just like the dog that you are, and you'll be bound with chains for the rest of your life because of the gravity of your offence." King Devon gave his final judgement, and Kimora's eyes widened terribly.
" But I didn't steal the jewel, I swear! Prince Eric gave it to me!" Kimora shouted, but Queen Avery came to her and slapped her soundly.
The gravity of the slap could be felt in the air as blood ran down her nose hotly.
Eric stared at her without a single pity for her. The bond was supposed to make him feel the pain too, but he felt nothing.
" You low-life b**ch. How dare you accuse my son wrongly? Immoral thief. Guards, take this ugly thing away from here before she pulls out any more false accusations." Queen Avery spat.
" But I'm innocent! I swear, you have to believe me!" She shouted as she got taken away.
She broke free from the guards' grip and ran to Eric. She embraced him tightly, shedding hot tears.
She got grabbed by the Prince and stared at him tearfully and painfully.
" Eric, please... Tell them the truth. You're the one who gave me the pendant, please tell them the truth! Why aren't you saying anything!" She shouted.
Eric stared back silently like she was just a barking dog.
" Lock her up in the cell." He suddenly blurted out, and her skin turned pale as she felt her heart get broken multiple times. She felt like dying.
She stared at him vainly & didn't struggle as she got taken away.
" But, you can't do this to her! Kimora is innocent, I know she was framed! Stop taking her away!" Celestia screamed and made to run after them, but Diane held her back and dragged her away from the spot.
Hester smirked evilly on her spot, glad that her plan worked.
They hadn't gone far when Kimora suddenly broke free again and ran back to Eric. She yelled and pounced on him immediately, going down with him.
" I f**kin' trusted you! You framed & betrayed me!" She shouted madly, her eyes burning hot with fire.
She slapped him across the face, and all eyes widened as they gasped, but Kimora couldn't feel a thing as well.
" You evil fool! I should just murder you!" She shouted & grabbed a knife, almost stabbing his heart, but her hand got grabbed and she got taken from the Prince.
She was kicked in the stomach and beaten up mercilessly. Kimora fell to her knees and gripped the ground firmly, spitting out blood painfully.
A wealthy-looking carriage rode into the Institute. It stopped, and then the door was opened for someone to come out.
They saw a pair of sexy legs step out first, before seeing the whole body. Yisabel stepped out gracefully from the carriage, looking so pompous & fancy as she blew herself with a hand fan.
Kimora's eyes widened upon seeing her. She felt like making the ground swallow her up.
" Just kill me." She muttered shockingly.
" Your future bride has arrived, Prince Eric." She smiled directly at him, and gasps erupted.
Hester's eye twitched as she held her heart, staggering back as she got struck by lightning.
Eric glanced surprisingly at the King and Queen, only to meet questionable smiles on their faces.
" Welcome, our future daughter-in-law." He greeted them, and she walked up to Prince Eric while grinning from ear to ear.
" Won't you welcome your future wife too? Eric?" She said, but Eric stared at her like he was lost in a trance.
She sighed and started walking away, but halted in her tracks when she felt like she was missing something. She turned back and noticed Kimora for the first time, and she gasped as the hand fan fell from her.
" Kimora!" She exclaimed.
" Long time no see, b**ch," Kimora replied angrily.
" How do you know her? Is she related to you?" King Devon asked.
" Yes, your Highness. She's my blood sister to be precise." She said, and gasps became even louder.
" She stole from the Palace, your Highness. She's a dangerous thief." A guard told her, and she gasped.
" She stole? Oh, Kimora, how could you do this? I thought you've changed! This is how you stole everything from home and ran away! You left your own family with nothing!" She lied, shedding crocodile tears dramatically.
Kimora's face itched. She felt like bursting into laughter insanely.
" So she's that terrible?" King Devon uttered.
" Your Highness, you can't believe her! She's cooking up lies to make me look like a terrible person! She's evil, you have to believe me!" Kimora blurted out.
" How could two people testify against you over the same crime? And you still expect me to believe you?" He fired, and Kimora went silent.
Yisabel winked and stuck out her tongue secretly at her. Her eyes darted to Prince Eric, and as soon as their eyes met, she started shedding butter tears.
She has never felt more betrayed in her whole life. He stole her first kiss and made her fall deeply in love with him, only for her to get heartbroken in such a drastic way.
She made herself so cheap for him, and in return, she got crushed mercilessly.
She got taken away as she shed more tears, and everyone booed and jeered after her.
