Chapter 12 - Chapter 12

 A ROYAL WEDDING... RUINED 

She got taken away as she shed more tears, and everyone booed and jeered after her.

 ROYAL PALACE 

Strange things had been happening to Eric since he arrived at the palace, coupled with the fact that he's getting married to a stranger without his knowledge.

He's having headaches, feeling like he just got released from a strong spell.

He entered his room, only to meet a merciless thirst trap. Yisabel was on his bed, lying down in a provocative manner. Her dress was gone, just her bra and pants were on her right now.

A naughty smirk visited her lips, and she stood sexily from the bed and threw his arms around his neck.

" It took you a while to come, I've been thinking so much about you." She whispered seductively, then pressed her lips on his neck, giving him a deep hickey.

Eric pushed her off immediately, and she fell on the bed with a gasp, only to meet an angry look on him.

Her hickey left red lipstick on his neck.

" Who the hell are you and what the f**k are you doing in my room? What right do you think you have to kiss me!!!" He thundered ragingly.

" But, Prince Eric, I'm your soon-to-be-wife. Isn't it normal that I kissed my husband's neck?" She said, but the next thing he knew, he pounced on her and started choking her.

Yisabel's eyes grew wider with tears as she held his arms and struggled for breath, kicking her legs under him.

" Listen to me... You sick b**ch. I don't care if you're the Princess of some sick kingdom, just never ever in your life enter my room again. If you ever cross paths with me again... I'll end you, f**k off." He fired harshly at her, leaving the room.

Yisabel held her neck, gasping and crying as she sat up.

She suddenly smiled.

" Gawd, he's so mean. But I think I love his angry side more, he just made me fall for him harder." She grinned stupidly.

As Eric stormed his way to the King's chambers, he met Princess Rose.

He stormed past her without a word, but she pulled him back immediately.

" Brother, what's wrong with you? Is this because of that thief? Was she the same girl you were talking about that stole your heart?" She said, but he didn't respond.

" Brother, you don't have to stress yourself so much about her. She's evil, she doesn't deserve a kind-hearted person like you. Just move on from her and marry Princess Yisabel." She persuaded.

" She isn't evil... I framed her." He confessed, and Rose left him as shock electrocuted her.

" What!" She exclaimed, but he immediately started walking away from her.

He barged into the King's chambers. King Devon was having a meeting with some influential people over the wedding and was shaking hands with them currently, laughing loudly.

They turned when they heard the noise, only to see Eric glaring and panting like an angry lion. The visitors got scared.

" Leave." He muttered audibly, and the people immediately took to their heels in fear.

Prince Eric walked up to the King boldly, and he stood from his throne.

" What audacity do you think you have to send my visitors fleeing? Just because you're my son? Have you gone nuts?" He barked and tried slapping him, but Eric caught the hand firmly without even looking.

King Devon's eyes went wide.

" Save that slap for later, because I won't let you touch my face now." He said arrogantly, throwing down the hand roughly.

" Eric..." The King muttered as he held his aching wrist. He held it too tightly.

" I know that something's definitely wrong with me. Truly I gave the pendant to Kimora, but as I tried saying the truth, I felt brainwashed. I didn't even know what was wrong with me, as if I was spellbound. What the hell is going on? I'm going crazy!" Eric shouted.

King Devon laughed, which scared him.

" You wanna know what's happening, right? I knew that Kimora was innocent." He confessed, and Eric's eyes widened.

" But... But why? If you knew that she was innocent, why'd you decide to punish her? What has she done to you!" Eric shot, stepping closer.

" I couldn't stand to watch you fall in love for a commoner. I overheard your conversation with Rose while we were having dinner. I did it for your own good." He said, which made Eric even madder.

" What f**kin' good are you blabbing about? How is it any good that you locked up an innocent girl for a crime she knows nothing about? What freakin' good is that!!!" He shouted, his voice echoing hurtfully around the palace.

" You've fallen for a commoner before, and do you remember what you went through? You fell for Damon's lover, so hard that when she died, you were heartbroken for months. I warned Damon that I wasn't in support of their relationship, but he disobeyed me. That was how he got kicked out of the palace." He said.

" Liar! There was more to why you kicked Damon out of the palace! He's your son too, but you've always hated him because you said he killed mother! He didn't kill her, mother was just unfortunate to die during labour! But you heaped all the problems and blames on the shoulders of the poor boy! You tortured him everyday, both mentally and physically till you drove him insane! You hated him so much even though he was your blood!" He shouted passionately.

" I admit that I hated that boy very much, and he's the worst son I could pray for. He's a monster."

" He's not a monster! He's just a traumatized child who's misunderstood! I stole Dora from him! I made her fall in love with me! Then when I thought she wasn't loving me anymore, I pushed her into a lake of fire and ended her life! I'm the real monster here!" Eric revealed, already crying so hard.

He collapsed on a nearby chair as the memories rushed in, feeling so damn guilty as he kept weeping.

King Devon just looked unbothered and turned away.

" You didn't kill her intentionally. It was an accident, and I was there to witness the whole thing." He said, making him look up.

" I didn't want you to get heartbroken again, which was why I had to act fast on Kimora's case. I spelled you to say nothing about the truth of the matter, with Master Chaos' help. Then I invited Princess Yisabel over to get wedded to you, because I know she's the perfect choice for you, and you'll fall in love with her." He said.

" Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrgghh!!!" Eric screamed like a madman and stood, rushing to destroy the king. He suddenly fell weakly when he couldn't feel his legs anymore, struggling hard to get up.

Master Chaos walked in, using a paralysis spell on him, and King Devon turned back.

" You won't get away with this, I swear father! I'll end you!!!" He barked loudly.

" Not if you don't remember about what just happened. It's for your own good, son." He smiled, then Master Chaos went to him.

He placed a thumb on his forehead, and Eric's eyes closed immediately as he went limp, drifting off to sleep.

" I've removed the memories of what just happened, and I also included a love spell on him which would make him fall for Yisabel. By the time he wakes up, the spell will become effective immediately." He reported to King Devon.

" Good. Let this matter stay between us both, no other living soul must hear about this." The King told.

" I swear on my life, no one else will ever know about this." Master Chaos gave his word, then he walked out.

He was met with something unexpected as he got grabbed and slammed hard on the wall. He was stunned to see Hester in front of him, locking his cloth at front with bloodshot eyes.

" Hester! What the f**k do you think you're doing?" He said quietly.

" I heard everything, you backstabber. Tell me that everything I heard you and King Devon saying were all lies." She spoke hurtfully.

" I'm afraid I can't tell you that, Daughter." He said, and she lifted his cloth more fiercely.

" Then why did you do it? Why'd you put a love spell on Eric to make him fall for Yisabel when you clearly know that I love him? You ugly father!" She shouted.

" It's only temporary. I did that so that King Devon wouldn't be suspicious, and it'll wear off after the wedding is over. He'll continue hating Yisabel after that, then I'll make a spell for him to fall hard for you, permanently." He smiled.

She panted as she left him slowly.

" Well, I still hate you for what you did." She said and walked out on him.

" I still love you, daughter." He said after her, and she groaned back in response.
