Chapter 212 - 212 The truth of Amelia
212 The truth of Amelia
The tension is palpable. Amelia was crying inside the prison bubble, and king Edwards was sitting in a chair, looking gloomy. Justice, Xavier, Vale, and Henry couldn’t say any words, only Anne, who sees that she needs to do something.
“Amelia, we have already caught your lies, so please, for leniency how about you tell us everything that you know.” Said Anne to the helpless woman inside the prison bubble.
With eyes full of hatred, she hissed at Anne. “That’s princess Amelia to you. I… Work hard for this title and there you are trying so hard to destroy everything!”
“You have done everything just for a title?” Said king Edward, he looks at Amelia with disbelief in his eyes, “Really, Amelia? Just for the title? We accept you as part of our family.”
“What family? The empress always sees me as the noble wannabee, and Javier was so invested with my family fortune, spending on gambling and whatnot.” She laughed while looking at the king, “The only thing that he can repay me is by making me the empress!”
Justice looks up. He stared at Amelia and asked her, “So, my brother really into this?”
“Who else? You know he hates you so much, and I think he was so jealous of how everyone always sings praise for you.” Amelia tried to mess with his mind, but Justice never believe her.
“The only thing I knew was that you’re probably planting the seeds of hatred for my brother. You know your mother? Louisa? Well, she was related to the Bacardy family, isn’t she?” Justice was smiling, while Amelia turn paler and even tried to hide her face, Justice continued on, “Turn out your branch of the family was helping the Bacardy by adopting a girl named Rosy, the wealthy farmer where the wife has a sibling, named Louisa, who got married into a wealthy merchant. Louisa, who is your mother, and also the one who introduces the Bacardy to her sister.”
Everyone was stunned. Turns out Amelia was also part of the Bacardy family, even though not as close relatives.
.....
“Justice, so, you knew all along?” Said king Edward to his son.
“I knew about her, yes.” Justice pointed at Amelia, and then shakes his head, “But I don’t know what her big plan is, and I don’t even have proof.” He looks at Anne with a proud face. “I do know.”
“D*mn, so Amelia is also involved with the false-infected case?” Said Xavier turning around to see the young woman who was hissing and glaring at all of them, “How about your brother?”
“We don’t know if he is fully involved with everything.” Justice admitted, he look around the room and said, “At this point, we need to hide and waited for the reinforcement.”
“You’re right, waiting for the reinforcement before we got captured ourselves, besides we need to protect Justice.” Said Henry to them.
Vale runs inside the house and uses his insight. He walks into the perimeter, just to make sure that no one or troops coming into the house for now. He went back inside and informed the others.
“We are safe for now, but we need to move fast.”
Henry rustled his hair. “Yes, but where?!”
“The ship!” Muttered Xavier, he stand up and yelled, “The ship, we can wait and hide inside the ship!”
Henry points his finger at Xavier, he also gets excited immediately after, “You’re right, the ship!”
They screamed and even hug each other. Justice just frowns and asks around, “What ship?”
“The ship that we were using to get here, it’s hidden in a dangerous swamp with a healer named Leo and captain Brom.” Arthur answered his question, while he check on king Edward, “His majesty, are you alright?”
He nods his head to Arthur, “Yes, thank you, Arthur, I was a bit shocked that’s all.”
“You should, when you know what kind of thing your son is willing to do to get the crown on his head.” Said Amelia, smirking at Edward.
Anne glared at her and sat beside Edward. “Please don’t hear him, his majesty, she could be lying and just trying to make you more confused than before.”
“Tha…Thank you. You’re right, she was probably trying to mess with my head.” Said king Edward gratefully to Anne.
Amelia was screaming. She tried to yell some incoherent words. Anne gave a code to Vale to shut her mouth. She doesn’t want her to give her a hard time to Edward. Vale nods his head and cast a spell into the prison bubble. He muted the inside of the prison bubble to prevent her from getting heard by anyone.
Meanwhile, Justice, Henry, and Xavier already discussing the best way to get into the ship.
“We could use the carriage, and probably be there in twelve hours if we go fast enough,” Henry suggested while looking at the route from the glassmap.
“It should be alright, the horse gets a good rest as well, but what about the seat? We have another three people now.” Mentioned Justice to them.
“Easy, I will transform into my wolf’s form with Xander, Amelia could take my seat, and Arthur can control the horse along with Henry.” Xavier gave his suggestion and the other two agreed.
They pack everything, although there’s nothing more than just Anne’s medicine bag and some provisions, Xavier helps Henry and Arthur to put the reign on the horse, “I’ve already given them their food for today, and Anne also gave them some tonic, they will be able to take us far.”
Not long after, all of them get inside the carriage. Vale has a duty to take a close eye on Amelia. They tighten a rope on her body and also muffle her sound with a rag. Anne was looking at Xavier from the window. He runs closer to the carriage, with his brother in their wolf form.
That’s when she looks in front. Another dark cloud means the dark and mischievous road is ahead of them. She shouted at Xavier, warning him and Xander, Vale cast a spell to the carriage and also to the werewolves, cast full protect spell and when they are in the middle of crossing the dark and mischievous road, anticipating what could be inside of this doom road.
“It’s coming! Prepare for combat!” Henry was screaming at everyone.
A huge shadow already waiting for the prey that is coming into them, a huge shadow with three glowing white eyes that roars into the dark sky.
