Chapter 54 Chapter 54
Edward pov .
I tried to explain things to Valerie but
she simply refused to listen to me .
" Please you have to listen to me I love you with every breath in me please valerie let me explain "
" king Edward Theodore you have nothing to explain to me . You said it clearly in the presences of everyone in the dinning hall that you don't love me , What more do you want to explain ,I told you from the beginning I never wanted any of this why can't you understand , You forced me to leave with you here in the castle you even punished Eric for trying to touch me ,Please let me go "
I was short of words ,Every single word she said pierced my heart , Am trying my best to explain things to her but she doesn't want to see reasons with me ,I opened .my mouth to speak by I couldn't find the right words to say to her .
" Edward just answer this question am about to ask you ,I need the true and nothing but the truth "
" Why did you take my hand but only to let me go why ?"
" Listen ...to me I..."
I tried touching her but she pushed my hand away .
" Don't touch me ,Answer the damn question "
" Listen to me it's not as easy as you think ,I love you but I don't want anything to bad happen to you please just let me explain "
" What do you want to say okay am all ears say it "
" What Lady morgan said was true yes I left her at the alter but it's for a reason please ,I never loved her"
" Oh yes I get it am your concubine that you ran to when ever you want to have sex right ,and to think that I almost gave you my body ,I was so stupid , everyone was right about the royal house ,you always take advantage of people and when you are done with them you dump them like a piece of trash "
" No I can never to that to you please don't leave ,if you want me to go on knees and apologize I will do that but please don't "
" Haha ...knee down what's the need of doing that when you have already given me the greatest humiliation what is the need of trying to pretend , Thank God am leaving this castle with my head still hanging on my neck ,thank God I didn't end up like lady Alice and lady Benita "
" Please listen to me"
" Get out of my room now "
" please..."
" Don't make we do something I will regret My Lord "
" Please ..."
She picked up her hair brush and smashed it on the mirror .
" Get out .."
She started screaming and crying at the same time ,I wanted to hold her and tell her that his is all a dream, But I couldn't since she wanted to be alone ,I left her chambers and met samuel standing at a corner waiting for me .
" Samuel "
" My lord ,what are we going to do ,I really felt bad for lady valerie "
" Don't worry your head over little things she's going to be fine , But no matter what don't let her out of the castle even if it means locking her up in her room I hope you understand "
" Yes My Lord I will do as you have instructed "
" Good "
I left samuel behind and walked back into the dinning room , at that point my anger had reached its limit, But I had to hold myself, Since she wants to play dirty let's do it then ,When I arrived at the dinning hall I met lady morgan taking a sip from the glass of wine that was kept in front of her .
" Why are you here "
" Edward it's nice to have you back "
" Answer my question morgan "
" Tsk tsk you should address me more respectfully My lord am no ordinary woman "
" Morgan it's seem you are forgetting something I can order for your head right where you stand "
'" Haha ...and it seems I have underestimated you my lord, You know I came to the castle with one mission to kill ,But you were smart enough to protect her from me if you had admitted that you loved her ,she would have been dead by now , But you always know how to get away from my trap "
" You haven't answer my question yet lady morgan "
" Okay am here to take that thing you cherish the most '
" Which is ...."
" Lady Valerie's life "
" What makes you think you would be able to do that and live to tell the story "
" You took something precious to me Edward , You killed the only person my heart beat for so am here to settle the score between us "
" That was a long time ago "
" An eye for and eye remember ,stop protecting her edward ,If I want her dead I wouldn't even wait any seconds to get to her ,I have accepted my fate the day you left me at the alter , But you see this I can't let it go give me her head or marry me "
" Never '
" I know it would be hard to make you do my bid, But come to think about it .I looked around and I couldn't find any someone valuable until I heard that the king had found himself a wife so I thought if I take her you wouldn't have a happy ending , You would continue to leave your life in pain ,regret and isolation,just the same way I have lived my life all this years "
' Lady morgan that was in the past and besides it was in the battle field what was I suppose to do let him kill me hell, No "
That's bullshit , She slammed her hand on the table .
' I begged you to spare his life when the both of you comes face to face in the battle field ,I begged you to let him come back home to me but what did you do, Instead you returned his head to me as a gift you and your household will pay King Edward Theodore"
