Chapter 16 Monster!
Edward pov .
" Ahh why does she have to mention that bastards name each time we are having a conversation "
I kept asking Myself that same question countless times, I was so pissed off that I was losing my sense of reasoning .I left the castle clinic and was about heading to a meeting with the council when Samuel stopped me .
" Good day your majesty "
" What is the matter Samuel "
"My Lord , The Araon's are here to see you "
" Tell them am busy "
" I already did "
" So what was their reply "
" They are willing to wait my Lord Infact Benita's mother has been creating some unnecessary drama at the entrance of the palace "
" Tsk ..tsk ..women and there drama ,Ask the council of elders to wait for an hour , I need to hear what they have to say "
Samuel escorted me to the visitors room , Immediately the door was opened Benita mother rushed up to me and knelt before me holding my legs .
" Please my king have mercy on my daughter, I know she messed up big time please my Lord have mercy on her and release her please I promise she wouldn't make sure mistake again. "
I turned to look at Benita father would was sitting beside her.
" Sir Araon I guess you didn't teach your wife manners "
He quickly stood up and rushed up to her .
" Am sorry My Lord, It's just that I think she was a little bit carried away because her daughter has been held hostage in the palace "
" Hostage !!"
" My Lord please don't misunderstand me, I mean, What am trying to say is that Benita my daughter has not done anything bad to warrant such treatment from her husband "
" Husband !! Let me make something clear to you Sir Araon in as such as I respect the fact that you have contributed a lot to the growth of this kingdom, That doesn't give you the right to open your mouth and speak carelessly ,I understand you are mistaking me for your daughters husband , And if you had read the letter I sent to you , You will see that I cancelled the marriage so tell me why are you finding it difficult to get it into your brain "
" My Lord I must say when I received the letter I was shocked to the core ,So that is why I came here with my wife today to pleased with you to allow us take our daughter back home and talk some senses into her head "
" Tsk ..tsk . looking at you Sir Araon shows you lack wisdom ,Few minutes ago you said your daughter did nothing wrong, Now you are saying you want to talk some senses into her , Tell me how would you talk some senses into her head when she did nothing wrong , Now I see where she got that stinky attitude from "
" With all due respect My Lord ,I agree I speak out of tongues but please don't take it personally , Besides my daughter has spent her whole life waiting for you please, Don't abandon her now that she needs you the most please I beg of you "
" Ah Sir Araon you should know by now that I hate it when I repeat my self countless times , Note I was never in love with your daughter so tell me why shouldn't I leave her when she is bent on ruining my reputation , She's not yet the queen and she has started treating people like trash tell me Sir Araon what will be the fate of Atlantis when she becomes the queen "
I stood right in front of him waiting for an answer but he couldn't say a word.
" I must say you and your wife helped in making your daughter to become this loosed and spoiled. I can't have a queen who sleeps with everything around her if you know what I mean "
" Please My king I might sound rude But my daughter is still a virgin and I can vow for her please don't get it wrong but I know Benita very well she's not a loosed child "
" Really ,I agree with you on that one "
I called out to Samuel who was standing outside the visitors room , Immediately he came inside .
" Release Benita and hand her over to her parents, But let me make one thing clear I don't want to ever see her anyway close to the palace or Even the palace gate I hope am clear ".
" Yes my Lord ".
I turned to leave when Benita's father stopped me .
" My Lord you can't do this to me , The wedding preparation has already been made , The cakes , The wedding dress, The musical bands , What are we going to do about it "
" Yes you are right ,Let me suggest something , You see you have a beautiful wife ,and it won't be bad if you guys have your wedding and anniversary before the supposed date so ask your wife to wear the wedding dress and you guys are good to go "
" My Lord if you don't marry my daughter ,I promise I will do something that the whole of Atlantis will regret "
Immediately does words left his mouth , It was as if the sky became dark ,In less that a second I rushed up to him a grabbed his neck .
" Are you threatening me !"
He wanted to say something but he couldn't ,He continued struggling to free himself from my grip . His wife started crying beg me to let him go .
" Please your majesty, Have mercy on my husband he said does words out of anger please have mercy"
" Get off me woman or I will have your head for dinner "
With one push she landed on the ground , Why sir Araon was trying to get hold of himself ,Picked him up again. and held his neck even more tighter .
" You know you shouldn't have made the mistake of threatening me Sir Araon ,I don't respond so well threats "
" Plea..plea...a.m. am ( cough ) am ..so. ..rr..y "
Just when I saw he was about to gave up I left go of him
" The next time you threaten me I will come very hard on you that even the universe will go against you get out "
Quickly his wife alerted some of their body guards and they help her take him out of the room .I was boiling in anger but I had to keep calm I walked out of the visitors room and was about heading to the court room when some called me my name from beside .
" Edward !!"
