Chapter 58 Chapter 58
Valerie pov..
When I arrived at the entrance of the castle,I was surprised to see liam and hemsworth waiting for me in front of the carriage .
" Liam , hemsworth why are you here "
" Yes Your Majesty asked us to accompany you to your parents house that's why we are here "
" I don't think there is any need for that besides I can handle it myself "
" We know , But His majesty had orders us to take you there ,and not to leave your presence "
" I know but I...."
" My lady I think we need to stop arguing and get going there is no much time left "
" Okay "
I quickly rushed into the carriage , liam sat beside , Why hemsworth sat in front of the carriage with the horse man ,we started the journey to my house ,I was troubled, I was scared that something bad must have happened to her ,I prayed to Zeus to preserve my mother's life .I really don't want to see her suffer or in pains ,I was lost in thoughts I didn't even know when we arrived at my house .
" My lady we are here "
I quickly snapped out of my thought, Liam gave me his hand and helped me get down from the carriage .
" Thank you liam "
" You are welcome My lady "
I quickly rushed into the house .
" Bethel ,,mama , Bethel "
The house was quite , My voice kept echoing in the house , Just then Liam walked in .
" Is anything the matter my lady "
" Yes everything is fine , It's just that I can't find my sister and mother maybe they already left for the other city ,but why didn't they wait for me "
" My lady I think it's not right for us to jump into conclusions yet, Let's wait for a little longer and see if they will show up "
" You are right liam what about hemsworth ,it's getting cold outside can you ask him to come inside that house "
" I don't think hemsworth will agree to that my lady ,he needs to keep watch outside "
" Okay please let sit and wait a little "
We sat down on the couch waiting patiently , Suddenly we heard two people chatting and laughing coming into the house ,I quickly got up and rushed to see who it was ,My mother and Bethel came into the house ,they were laughing at each other .
" Mother "
I was shocked by what I saw . I quickly called out to her to be sure that I wasn't hallucinating.
" Huh .. Valerie what are you doing here "
"Bethel "
" What !!"
She had an angry look on her face .
" Mother are you okay ,I mean I ... got a letter from Bethel saying that you are sick "
" What ! hell No why would I be sick am perfectly okay dear "
" Bethel you sent me a letter saying mother was sick and needed urgent treatment
" You must be joking valerie I never sent you any letter "
" What the hell is going on, That was why I rushed over I thought something bad must have happened to you "
" Valerie calm down nothing bad happened to me and besides am not sick am perfectly okay ,you can see for yourself "
At this point I was confused ,I simply didn't know what to say ,what the hell is going on here ,liam walked up to me .
" My lady are you sure your sister sent you that letter "
" Yes Bethel you sent that letter to me "
Bethel had been quite for a while but when I kept insisting that she was the one who sent that letter to me she immediately flared up.
" Are you sick or something Valerie why would I sent you a letter , And since when have we become so close to start exchanging letter , Valerie don't get on my nerves ,yes I agree I hate and despise you but why should I sent you a letter even if mother dies today I wouldn't even let you know before putting her to rest "
I was about to speak but liam cut me short .
" My lady if you still have the letter with you ,I think it's best to show it to Lady bethel here maybe she might recognise the handwriting"
" Yes I still do"
I quickly reached for the pocket in my coat and bought out a piece of paper .
" Here Bethel you wrote this to me right "
She snatched the paper from my hand and saw the content in it .
" Come on valerie I think your stay in the castle have blinded your eyes can't you see that my hand writing is different from this "
She throw the paper on the floor in anger and walked out on me ,My mother walked up to me and held my shoulder .
" Calm down child I guess it was a misunderstanding ,just go back to the castle and rest or do you want to spend the night here "
" No mother I wasn't prepared for that I will head back now "
" Good child, may Zeus be with you "
" Thank you mother "
Something was fishy ,I remember what Edward said to me ,I shouldn't have be here to see them ,I would have allowed him bring them to the castle , At this point I became scared .
"My lady we need to leave now "
" Sure "
We left my parents house and got into the carriage ,the journey back castle was a little cold than when I was going to my parents house ,the journey continued but we were interrupted.by a big tree that fell on road ,I noticed that when we passed this way road ,there was No fallen tree on the road , how come it appeared on the road all of a suddenly .
liam turned to me holding the edge of his sword .
"My lady please stay in here we will be back soon "
" Let me come with you "
" No my lady we need to shift the tree to the side of the road so we can pass besides it late "
" Okay "
Liam and hemsworth came down to push the fallen tree away while I sat back in the carriage ,cold and scared ,I kept looking out of the window and I saw them trying to move it away when , All of a suddenly I heard a strange sound in wind the next thing I saw was arrows flying towards them ,they try their best to dodge as many as they could two men on black jumped out from the woods and started fighting with them.
I almost passed out in fear . Just then hemsworth ran up to me .
" My lady we need to leave this place now "
" What !!what about liam we can't leave without him "
" His trying to distract them My lady Please let's leave here please My lady.
