Chapter 293: I Had All, And Now… None of You [1]
[ZULA]
"I... I didn’t see anything, I swear. I didn’t hear anything or see anything... Oh gosh, I’m rambling again. I’m sorry, please forgive me. I won’t ever come to these hallways if I survive this. Forgive me, Your Highness, and My lord.
"I should have just waited... Why am I still talking?" Arabella rambled on as she got out from behind the flower pot, her eyes closed and her hands clutching her apron so tight that if she wasn’t careful, she would rip the cloth into shreds. But that too, didn’t matter right now.
"Show your face, woman," King Zaffuto said and Arabella pushed herself against the wall, before carefully lifting her head, even though her eyes were still closed tightly.
If she was going to die today, she would pray to get to the moon with the goddess, but only if her soul wasn’t punished for interrupting the great king’s walk.
"I’m sorry... I swear on my life, I didn’t mean to. I’m so sorry. I won’t do this again, please spare my life," Arabella cried out softly, her voice trembling, knowing the circumstances that were waiting for her.
Everyone knew that crossing the dark King meant that life was no longer going to be livable. It would be hell, because no one had ever crossed the king’s path and lived to see the next day.
The man was dangerous in every possible way and his Lycans knew that, to the point that they acted like they didn’t have a King. That way, they would avoid being put in a position where their lives were ruined. He was the one Lycan that scared the hell out of everyone.
Maybe him minding his business all the time and leading the Lycans well, was his redeemable feature, but was that enough to paint him as a saint, when he murdered the traitors in broad daylight, in front of everyone including the kids?
