Chapter 36 Chapter 36
Valerie pov .
We left the execution ground , And started walking towards the carriage when my eyes caught someone standing at the corner staring at me .
" Bethel "
I murmured her name and turned to look at Edward who was busy talking to one off the village head ,I quickly rushed towards bethel .
" Bethel you are here "
" How is that your business "
" Come on bethel stop acting like this why are you doing this to me stop , Am sorry if I had wronged you in any way please let's just stop the fighting already "
" I don't think you understand the situation here valerie ,Am not your sister anymore so stay away from me do not say I didn't warn you "
" I...I.."
I opened my mouth to speak but I couldn't find the right word to say ,
" Bethel you can push me as much as you want but you can never stop being my sister ,I didn't go after the king ,it was the other way round ,I have tried my best to make you see that I know nothing of what you are accusing me off, But no you keep repeating the same statement over and over again '
" Enough ! Enough, I just don't want to here those lies anymore , You are nothing but a two face bastard ,Look around you valerie you made the king kill lady Benita because you know she is your strong opponent so you had to take her out right , hahaha.... I really need lectures from you my beloved sister .I thought I was good , But you are the best in the game ,I will make one thing clear king Edward belongs to me, No matter what happens I will make him mine just you wait and see ,Then it will be you in that execution stake "
I was about to say something when I heard king Edwards voice .
" I don't think it's a beautiful day for two sisters to argue , One should be mindful of what they say they never can tell , They could be the next victim executed on that stage , Wouldn't it be an amazing sight to behold Lady valerie "
He turned to look at me with a smile on his face , That smile that always melt my heart but still frightens me , Bethel quickly took the opportunity to make herself presentable in the eyes on the king .
" Your majesty , Am overwhelmed with your presence "
" Bethel you look a little bit slimmer than the last time I saw you hope you are feeding well "
" How can I eat well when my happiness has been snatched away from me "
" if I may ask what could that be "
she walked closer to the king, And was about to hold his hand when suddenly king Edward turned his back on her and grabbed my hand .
" Let's go"
We walked towards the carriage , The door was opened by a guard I was about to step in when King Edward grabbed my hand .
" Come with me let's take a walk "
I wasn't in the mood to argue with he because I already had enough for today .
He held my hand and we started walking down the road .
" Why did you do that to my sister '
" It seems some people have not learnt their lesson yet , You see lady valerie that is why I said the only language so people response to is death "
" Are you planning to kill my sister "
" Off course not how can I kill my sister in law expect she called for it like touching what's mine "
" What could that be if I may ask "
" You "
" Am not an object or a thing to be owned by someone"
" Off course I know but you became mine the very day I set my eyes on you "
" Ahh "
" Tell me, How do you want our wedding to be like ,Do you want an elaborate wedding or a small wedding it's up to you ,I want preparation to start as soon as possible "
" Actually about that my Lord I was thinking if we could postpone it for a while ,I mean we really don't know much about you ,I think we should get to know each other first before marriage don't you think it's better that way "
" No I don't think so lady valerie , When I set my mind to do something I make sure to finish it I can't postpone the wedding , Secondly I don't know if you would change your mind and decide to vanish into the wind ,I don't want to take chances it's not like I can't catch you when you run but just what to behave like a gentleman "
" I was thinking we get to know each other first , Our likes and dislikes before getting married "
" Don't worry my love you will get to know me better after marriage "
" This is not the way things are suppose to be done "
He stopped on his track and turned to look at me .
" What do you mean "
" If you want me to reciprocate your love, Then you will have to allow me make decisions on my own , Give me time to adjust into this new world ,Stop imposing things on me , Lastly give me some space "
A smile appeared on his lips,I could feel the tension rising between us ,I wait for him to explode but he said nothing .
" No problems since you want space I will give you what you want , But I must tell you am not a patient man don't keep me waiting for so long ,I will postpone the wedding a little but that doesn't mean we are not getting married , Don't try any thing crazy because you wouldn't like the outcome "
I took a deep breath to calm my nerves down.
" Thank you very much "
Just then the carriage stopped in front of us ,Edward helped me get in and the carriage started moving straight to the castle .
" I forgot to inform you ,We are going for a dinner meeting tonight so you have to be ready on time "
I nodded my head in response but I was nervous , Why now ,Am not used to being around people why does he want me to go with him ,I wanted to protest I knew there was no way I would escape it.
