Chapter 13 Chapter thirteen
From the dazzling lights, Emma stood up with much effort. Her steps were shaky and her eyes were spinning. But she didn't give up. It was like someone else was possessing her body and using it.
“Kkekewewelahimayi…” Emma began to chant gibberish feverishly, her body emitting more and more dazzling lights and sparks that she now looked more like floating electricity.
“Emma stop!” Reno shouted. “You are still mortal and haven't cultivated your power of light you can harm yourself”
On hearing that Emma skills haven't been cultivated, Rexy smiled smugly. So he had just been getting afraid all along for nothing serious. With a snap of his fingers, he sent out his divine chain and wrapped it round Emma tightly too.
Immediately, the light blasted with a loud bang and effect razing down the entire palace and sending rubble flying in different directions of the village. Emma slumped to the ground and fainted her face going pale again.
Seeing there was no way to resist them, liriah and rexy dragged them to the kingdom of exiled demons. Selah shuddered on seeing the bizarre things happening there. The Kingdom has a separate place for the poor and another for the rich.
When demons saw Rexy coming, they quickly bowed in fear. The poor begged them for even just a loaf of bread offering their children in exchange. A tear ran down selah cheek when she saw how children were being rough handled by their parents and sent to beg for food or do hard labor in the rich demons land to bring food home.
“Looks like your kingdom isn't great afterall “aunty”. Reno mocked. In anger, liriah dealt him a crisp slap across his face “if not because of your wicked and covetous father will i have been reduced to this?”
Reno laughed “ father is very just. You tried taking what doesn't belong to you and got punished” he scoffed but was ignored by liriah who was boiling in anger but consoled by the thought that all this will soon be in the past once the ritual was successful.
But on getting to the elite part of the kingdom, everywhere was bubbling with spoilt heirs and heiress parading the street with the children of the poor carrying their bags and walking on their knees behind them.
The poor kids were used as tables and chairs to eat and dine. They were abused and even raped by some shameless spoilt heirs. Parties were held round the clock with loud music blaring from every corner.
When they got to the palace, Selah gasped in amazement. So there was this kind of palace and the people were suffering in a such way?
In real facts, the reason Selah's palace In the hollow wasn't so expensive and big was because all the proceeds made in the village was shared equally amongst all the families in the village.
But Rexy's palace grounds and gates were made of pure gold sparkling in the sunlight. A huge water fountain was in the middle of the palace sparking silver water raining down from it.
Several luxury cars filled the garage and was even spilling into the palace grounds as the garage could no longer accommodate all. Selah spat on the floor in disgust her hatred for Rexy increasing forgetting all her respect for the devil and hell.
When they reached the huge silver palace door, it was swung open by a young boy in his early twenties. He looked exactly like Rexy with his golden colored hair and sea blue eyes. “Father you're back with captives” he said excitedly.
On seeing Selah, his eyes widened in amazement. “What a stunning beauty. Hello damsel, you look so sexy to be true. Are you a divine being. So you know, I'm Prince welmoth the soon to be king of this huge kingdom. Be my concubine….” He said cupping Selah's chin with this hands roaming her body.
Suddenly, he gave a loud yelp. She bit his hand hard and kicked him on his stomach with her free leg. “If your father didn't teach you respect. Let me tell you and your spoilt brats something. I'm far older than all of you put together. So you better respect yourself because I'm not someone you can toy with. What an insult..! A concubine? In your dreams..!” She mocked.
“You damned girl..!” Rexy shouted and slapped her face. “How dare you raise your filthy hands on my son?”
Selah laughed hard “girl.? I'm much older than you. I remember when your father came to sign a treaty in the hollow years ago. You were so small and still your father's favorite before greed took over you. “ She shouted.
Rexy and all the rich heirs around laughed mockingly. “Look, better watch the way you talk to the king so you won't be killed at anytime.” They sneered and this made Rexy very proud.
“Strip her and ravish her body till you're satisfied” he said and headed into the palace. As the spoilt heirs went closer to selah to assault her, a huge blast of energy from her sent them flying and crashing into the nearby wall.
She scoffed “looks like you kids still need alot of training. You the so called prince, you can't even resist the basic blast from me. Run along to your father now little puppy” she mocked.
This infuriated welmoth. He slapped her across her face in anger. “Guards! Take this three to the dungeon.” He ordered pointing at Emma, selah and Reno.
“Coward.! Very weak and naive. You called guards with supernatural abilities to come take us away why don't you do it yourself?Let me tell you, you can't never be king anywhere.!.” She shouted as they were dragged away.
“Stop!” Rexy shouted at the guards and pulled Emma away handing her to the doctor he summoned behind him. “Take the rest of them to the dungeon and don't give them anything to eat or drink until I say so” he said and walked away with the doctor.
“Yes father” welmoth said happily following the guards hoping to get a taste of Selah in the dungeon. Emma was taken to a already prepared special room and put on life support.
“She looks dead already. But without her waking up, the ritual can't go on."
