Chapter 63 Chapter 63
Edward pov ....
"Sir Clifford I may asked what was your relationship with the king "
" I don't think I have to be in any relationship with his majesty before speaking the truth , His majesty had always wanted to give the throne to Edward , he saw that king Edward would make a good leader "
" Is that so "
" Yes council Thomas "
" You are saying the king did not pay you to speak against his brother "
" Like I said before I am an honorable man , besides I don't take bribe or like some councilmen I know"
" What are implying "
" Nothing sir thomas I just spoke the truth "
He turned to look at me .
" Your majesty there are also more evidence presented to the council against you "
He bought out a chain from his pocket .
" This gold pendant was found at the crime scene I believe you know what it is "
" You mean the pendants given to me by my father ?"
" Yes your majesty it's your symbol of princely hood , And I don't think the king doesn't Have his pendant anymore , because from what we gathered you haven't been wearing this particular chain since the death of your father so your majesty is this your chain"
" I Don't know what you are talking about council Thomas ,but if you are talking about that chain you have in your hand then am sorry that's not my chain"
" Will you please show us your chain then since you said this particular chain doesn't belong to you "
The court room became silent all eyes where on me waiting to see the next excuse I will give ,A bright smile appeared on my lips .
" Are you talking About this chain "
I bought out the chain from my pocket and showed it to him , Again the court room became noisy .
" That is fake I can tell "
" Sir thomas since when have you learn the act of debating what real and what's fake let the council do there job ."
Sir thomas quickly turned to look at a young lady with a red hair sitting among the councils.
" council Isabella please do your job "
she quickly stepped forward and took the chain from me and then took the chain from sir thomas , After much examination she came back with them .
" I have done my examination , The one the king has its the real one while the one sir thomas presented is the fake one "
Immediately the judgement was made , Sir Aaron stood up and screamed on top of his voice .
" That's impossible ,he killed his father "
Sir Clifford quickly stood up to silent him .
" I forbid you to utter such words against the king "
"Let it be sir Clifford , His just a living corpse ,his angry that I ordered the execution of his daughter lady Benita"
I looked at Sir thomas who was standing in corner .
" If you don't have any order evidence against me please can you let me go now "
" Not so fast My lord ,We will let the council decide that "
He dropped the paper he was holding and turned to the council men and women sitting at the high stand ,there were approximately ten in number so the voting began .
" Sir thomas "Guilty"
"Lady helen " Not guilty "
" Lady Isabella " Not guilty "
" Sir Araon". Guilty "
" Sir Damien " Guilty
A bright smile appeared on my lips I kept staring at them .
" Sir Theo " Guilty "
" Sir hebert " Not guilty "
" Sir odin " Not guilty
" Sir killian " Not guilty
" Sir Alayna "Not guilty
" Since the vote pleases non guilty it means the king is free from all charges ,I declare this case closed .
Without wasting much time I quickly rushed out of the court room I met samuel waiting for me outside .
" Your majesty congratulations on your victory "
" Thank you samuel , Tell me is she awake "
" Yes your majesty"
" Where is she ?"
" In your chambers "
I ran like a mad man upstairs to my chambers when I entered my room, I met valerie taking a glass of water from my sister. lady Tracy was sitting beside her ,she had this beautiful smile on her face, I quickly rushed towards valerie and gave her a tight hug .
" I have missed you so much valerie that God you are awake "
" Edward your hurting me "
I quickly let go of her and held her hand
" Do you need anything "
' No am fine seeing you ,Here with me am okay "
" I thought I lost you valerie "
" Liam !!"
She tried to speak out loud but held her stomach in pain .
" Liam , Edward how is he "
" His dead valerie "
" Oh my God he died why trying to save me Edward , Am sorry I shouldn't have gotten to see my mother , You wouldn't believe that when I got there she was okay "
" I know hemsworth have told me everything "
" Am sorry edward I should have listened you "
" You don't have to say that , Am happy that you are alive ,And back to me now I wouldn't let you out of my site anymore "
I held her hand and kissed the back of her palm .
" I love you Valerie ,Once you are fully recovered let's get married "
" Yes I agree with that too "
With the way she spoke to me I could tell that she was still very weak so I help her adjust the pillow on back .
" You need to rest valerie ,I had my case today , Guess what "
" What !!"
" I won the case "
" Am happy for you "
I was about to tell her more about the case but I was interrupted by samuel .
" Your majesty Sir owen is here to see lady valerie "
" What does he want to see her for "
" I have no idea "
" Tell him lady valerie is not in the castle for now he should come back later '
" Yes your majesty "
Immediately samuel left I clench my fist, Thinking of a way to snap his neck that little boy is becoming noisy,I was still thinking of what to do to him when I felt someone touched my cheek .
" Wh..at..what are you thinking about "
' A thousand ways to kill that son of a bitch "
" You...you have to calm down okay "
" No problems ,I love valerie "
" I love you too Edward
"Now get some rest you just woke up "
I stood up and helped her lie on the bed ,Then covered her with a mattress , placed a kiss on her forehead and walked away to attend to other matters.
