Edward pov .
I was a bit surprised when samuel came in with a letter in his hand .
" Who sent it "
"My lord I think it's lady valerie's sister "
" What did the letter contain "
" I haven't read it yet My lord "
" What are you waiting for read it I want to hear it "
He quickly removed the letter from the envelope and read it our loud .
Dear Valerie .
How are you doing ,I guess the castle has been treating well , Am writing this letter to inform about our mother ,she hasn't been doing well for a while now and her health is getting worse by the day ,I would love you to come over so we can take her to the next town for treatment ,and also her treatment had cost us alot .
Please sister for the sake of mother and our family come back home .
yours sincerely
Bethel parker .
Samuel quickly closed the letter and handed it over to me .
"My lord "
I took it from him and read it again ,For a minute I was lost in thoughts .
" Oh my God Edward I really need to go see my family "
" I think something is fishy about this letter , You have to wait for while before going to see them"
" What do you mean Edward my mother is sick "
" Listen to me Valerie am not saying you shouldn't go but with what's happening right now in the castle I don't want to take chances "
'"I understand but it's my mother we are talking about here "
" It's my future mother in law we are talking about here too , Okay let's do it this way why don't I ask liam to take some guards and go bring them here to the castle ,we have a good physician ,he will take good care of your mother don't you think so "
" I know but don't you think you have done enough already I don't want to disturb you any further , Please Edward we are not yet married and if I should ask them to come over I don't think Bethel will be happy to come ,ever since this whole thing started we have not been in good terms please let me just go and see her I promise to be back before you know it "
" Letting you go is not the problem but I don't just feel like doing that lady valerie ,don't worry we will talk about it when I get back from my meeting "
" Am not sure I can wait till then please just let me go I promise to be back soon "
" Valerie please don't put me in a tight spot i don't want to die of heartattack just be patient and wait "
" I can't knowing fully feel that my mother is sick, I can't be calm please Edward understand and let me go see her please "
" I think I can't convince you to change your mind no problems since you want to go see your mother I will ask hemsworth to accompany you"
" Do I really need all of that ,I don't want to draw unnecessary attention to myself don't you think so "
" Listen to me Valerie the only way I will let you leave this castle is to go with one of my most trusted men which is hemsworth if you can't go with him then you forget about going "
"Okay I will go with him "
"Good "
i know I let her go but I wasn't myself ,I was restless ,I couldn't think straight anymore , i felt like something was about to go wrong ,she kissed my lip and quickly went to grab her coat to leave ,She was about to leave when I held her hand .
"Valerie ,I love you and promise me you will be safe "
" I promise please I have to go now "
She quickly rushed out of her
chambers ,I turned to look at samuel .
" Ask liam and hemsworth to accompany her ,I don't want any mistakes to happen tell them if anything happens to my woman they should come back alive "
"Yes your majesty "
He quickly left the chambers to deliver the message to them ,why I went to the court room to attend the council meeting .
When I entered the room , My eyes caught someone sitting silently almost them but I didn't say a word ,I walked up to my throne and sat down , immediately the meeting began .
" Your majesty we got an information that the late king was killer was an insider "
A little smile appeared on my face .
" Interesting and who could that be "
" We don't know yet your majesty but we have to reinvestigate the case again "
" Why should they open a case that had already been close ten years now ,I think the person who gave you this information should also know that the person who was behind the act was beheaded "
" Your majesty we might have beheaded the wrong person "
" Really am surprised that you all called me here for this "
" Your majesty with all due respect a complaint was made against you ,Saying that you are responsible for your father's death "
" Hahaha ..."
I burst into laughter ,I knew they were conspiring against me but what I fail to see was that someone wants to dig out the dust of the past .
The room became silent No one dared to say a word ,it felt as if they were holding there breath in anticipation of what's going to happen next .
" Tell me who could that be "
" I don't think you need to know who that person is your majesty all we need to do is to carry out our investigation , And if you are found guilty ,We leave it to the council to decide your fate "
" I think you are forgetting something here Sir Nicholas No one I repeat No one can decides my fate not even Zeus himself "
" I...I...mean ..your...."
" I ..will leave you all to your investigation ,I have something important to attend to "
I Didn't even wait for them to finish the meeting I quickly walked out of the court room ,I was worried about valerie.
