Chapter 14 Lock her up
Edward pov .
She was surprised by my statement .
" Edward what do you mean by that, For Zeus sake am your future wife, Please Edward stop talking nonsense "
" How dare you !!"
" Am sorry but I ..I ..mean stop trying to make me look like a fool "
" Really you know you are a fool , You dare to touch that maid why "
" Listen to me Edward that girl is nothing but a servant, And I don't see any reason why this should be an issue "
" Really so you mean whipping a harmless maid , Just because she ruin your dress, Was the best option right ?"
" How ...I mean who told you that "
" The wall has ears "
" So you mean you believe them more than I me right "
" I never trusted you Benita, But today you have proven to me how stupid you are "
" Please Edward let's just forget about what happened "
" Indeed I will forget about it but before then I will need to set something straight "
" Something like what "
" I asked you to pick your punishment, But No you refused so I think I will help you choice your punishment my self "
" Edward "
Before she could say a word, I asked one of my guards to get Samuel .In less than few minutes he walked into my chambers .
" Your majesty you sent for me "
" Yes I did Samuel "
I pointed to the guard who was screaming in pains on the floor .
" Take this piece of shit and feed him to my wolves it's been a while I gave them some treats .
Immediately I said those words ,Benita started pleading on his behalf .
" Edward please don't do this poor guard his innocent, What will my father do If he finds out that his most trusted man was fed to the wolves please Edward please have a rethink I beg of you please have mercy on him please "
" You should have told me , The reason you are pleasing on his behalf is because his one of does men that satisfy you sexually desire"
" Why would you say that Edward please am sorry just let him go "
" I think you a mistaking something here Benita , The reason why am feeding him to the dogs is because he touched something important to me , Something am very possessive about so you see I had to set the record straight to avoid future reoccurrence "
" Please Edward I know I had it with him once , But that doesn't mean ,I love him "
" Nice confession, But you see am not talking about you "
I come closer to her and whispered something into her ears
" Am talking about the maid "
" What ,!! Edward you can't do this to me Edward "
I turned to Samuel who was till waiting for my instructions .
" Take this lady to dungeon and have her locked up for three days without food or water "
" Edward please, Please don't do this to me "
" Secondly, Ask the Royal Messenger to send a letter to the Aaron's mansion telling them I have cancelled my engagement with their daughter "
" Yes sir "
Just then six guards walked in , Three took care of the guard lying on the floor , Why the other three took Benita to the dungeon , She was screaming and shouting but I refused to listen to her pleased because I was done with her arrogant and her silly attitude .
Samuel was about to leave, When I stopped him .
" Samuel "
" Yes my king "
" Please do specify the reason why am leaving there daughter, And make sure the letter gets to them. Infact if possible deliver it personally I hope am understood "
" Yes sir "
He quickly left my chambers to carry out the assignment I gave to him ,I took a shower and tried my best to sleep but I couldn't because the thought of everything that happened was still fresh in my memory ,I quickly picked up my coat and left to for castle clinic to see her .
Immediately I arrived the physician showed me the way to her room , When I entered I saw her sleeping peacefully on the bed .
I walked up to her and sat close to her held her hands .
" Hey I know you are in there and I know you can hear me , Am sorry for what happened today ,I took good care of them personally okay please dear get well soon "
I held her hand for a while and was about to leave when she held my hand tight , And murmured a name , That made my blood to boil in anger .
" Eric ! Eric !"
I quickly let go off her hand and asked the guards to get the physician ,In less that five seconds the Physician came into the room .
" Your majesty "
" I think she just regained consciousness so check her and get back to me tomorrow I will have to retire for the day "
" Yes your majesty "
" Without saying another word I quickly left the castle clinic ,Deep down In my heart I was boiling in anger , When I entered into my chambers murmuring to myself .
" She couldn't even mention my name , It was the name of that fool that ..that fool "
I slammed my hand on the table , I kept talking to myself, When the door of my chambers was opened and my mother walked in .
" Edward ! Edward what have you done "
" Meaning "
" I want Benita to be released immediately "
" One thing you should understand is you can't order me around mother ,In as much as I gave you the right to my chambers that doesn't mean you will come in whenever you like without knocking "
'" Edward I want Benita release immediately "
" If I don't , What will you do mother "
" Why are you so stubborn , Why are you doing this Edward she is your wife "
" I never told you I was married , And besides I have cancelled my engagement with her so don't bother yourself "
" You what !! Oh my God what have you done , What the hell have you done "
" I did what I should have done a long time ago so please don't push me mother , If you wouldn't mind I was busy thinking about something important before you came in so excuse me "
" This isn't over we will have to continue this conversation today "
" Until then please leave or I will ask the guards to walk you out "
She left without saying a word, But I was still not happy with what happened back at the clinic.
