Chapter 181: NO One Gets Out Alive
DAHLIA POV
My whole body trembled violently from the cold and my limbs ached a lot. My back feels like it was splitting into two, the wounds from the whip burned with the tiniest movement and the only thing I could do was to curl into a ball in my little corner. After the guards picked me up, they threw me into the cell where I shared it with few of the other prisoners.
When I had heard that they would be taking me out of that dark cell I was slightly elated. I was at least not going to hear the sound of my thoughts anymore. I didn’t put up a fight as I was moved to the cell. But it turns out that the other prisoners had few bones to pick with me. My status wasn’t a secret as I would have hoped it would be. The people knew who I was, the daughter of the mad king who terrorizes kingdoms.
They held their grudges and from what I knew, it was as a result of wars from my father that led some of them to be captured and become prisoners here. If only they knew that it was also because of my father that I was here. None of them gave me a chance to even explain, they mostly ignored me but I heard the, cursing me every moment. They also bullied me every chance they got, they made me sleep in the coldest part of the room and sometimes when they serve food, they leave me with the smallest portion.
I didn’t complain, just as long as I was left alone, I do not mind!
I curled myself into a ball trying very hard to keep the whimpers that threatened to escape me. My whole body really hurts and I wish Evie can help me with some healers. At this point, I was desperate and I was going to take anything.
My body trembled as the wind howled outside and I was still trying to find the best place to stay warm when all of a sudden, I felt something freezing press against my back. A cry left me as I jerked away but I was suddenly yanked back and some of that cold pressed against me again.
"Hold still and let us help." I heard a firm feminine voice say, "It’s just snow, it will help with the swelling." The voice said.
A blast of cold coursed through me which came from the physical pain as well as the sudden shock. Snow? I thought as I tried to move but I couldn’t. My back exploded with pain as if fire was burning down my back and I couldn’t avoid the whimpers that escaped my lips.
