Chapter 77 Chapter 77
Valerie pov....
It's been a months since I last heard from Bethel , The castle have been peaceful , Lady hazel have been suffering from mental break down she hardly leaves her room , Even if she does she ends up screaming and destroying things ,I felt so much pity for her .
Edward and I decided to have a conversation over dinner .
" Edward ,I really feel pity for your mother "
" She not my mother "
" Why would you say that , Edward "
" She's my mother friend ,Who smuggled her way into my father's bed just to get what she wants "
" Oh my God Edward are you sure of what you just told me now "
" Yes a hundred percent sure , She is one of the reasons my mother went mad , Because she couldn't stand the fact that her friend betrayed her trust "
" So why were you calling her mother "
' We were forced too ,call her mother ,Tracy and I ,We had no option but to call her mother .I waited patiently for years to see her face the same fate she made my mother go through "
" She also killed Alex mother when she saw that Alex's mother had a high chance of bring her down "
" Oh my God , Queen hazel did all this "
" Even worst than that , But all of that are in the past now , She wanted me to be the king so she could control my life and throne but she failed , Then lady Benita came into the picture , She tried all she could to make her my wife so they could have their way but she failed again "
" Am sorry Edward , You really passed through a lot "
" You don't have to be sorry everything is fine now ,I have you now in my life what more do I want "
" It's okay "
" You have to finish your breakfast on time ,I need to take you somewhere "
" Somewhere ,Like where? "
" It's a surprise honey ,I haven't taking anyone there before "
" Really "
" Yes "
I quickly finished my food , Then Edward and I left the castle . It was a long journey.the carriage stopped on the road and Edward suggested that we should continue the journey by foot , We walked deep into the woods . At a point I became scared .
" Edward where is this place , Why are we here "
" I need to show you something important "
" Edward this place is scary"
" Calm down honey we are almost there "
Finally we stopped in front of a gate ,I looked closely and read the handwriting on it "
" Cemetery, Edward what are doing in a cemetery "
" We came to pay someone important a visit my love , Let's go "
The breeze around this place was cold ,and creepy , Suddenly a man walked up to us ,with a shovel in his hand
" Good morning My lord , My lady "
" How are you Mr collins"
" Am fine My lord , It's a surprise that you visited this place today "
" I came to introduce my wife to someone important "
" Oh I see , If you will permit me ,I have to get going ,I have to bury the dead body they bought this morning "
" Sure Mr collins ,I can see you are taking good care of this place "
" Thank you My lord ,I have to take my leave "
he bow his head one last time before leaving but something caught my attention ,I noticed one of his eyes was blue , while we the other was black .
Immediately he left ,I held Edwards hand and whispered to him .
" Edward, Mr collins has a weird eyes "
' I thought you won't notice "
" You knew about too "
' Yes val, You should also know Mr collins is not an ordinary human , Just like you and me "
" Oh my God , You are joking right "
" No I am not joking My lady "
" Tell me Edward what is he "
" Hmm...Let me think '
He cocked his head to the side, Then straighten himself again.
" I won't say his a white or a black witch ,But I think his in between them "
" Huh ..a witch what his he still doing alive "
" What do you expect me to do ,Kill the young man who had help me all this years "
" Don't get me wrong but I thought witch are not accepted ,Among us "
" I never said so ,I only get them killed when they try rebel against me "
" So you are trying to say , You know witches do exist "
" Yes I know ,I even have one in my castle as we speak "
" Okay Edward this is becoming creepy what are saying "
' You are the Queen, You should know some secrets about this great city , everything you see here was built by the blood of a black and white witch , They know where their loyalty lies one wrong move and they are all dead "
" Tell me please ,Who is witch in the palace "
" Samuel "
" Wait ..what .. Samuel is a witch .."
" White witch , His parents sold him into slavery because they discovered that he was a witch , When I found him I bought him and keep him by my side ,So you see my lady , Your husband has eyes for good things "
Suddenly we stopped walking and he bent over and a smile appeared on his lip .
" We are finally here "
" What are you talking about "
He knelt down and cleaned the dust on the tomb in front of us ,I looked closely and I saw the name written on it .
" Annabelle theodore "
Suddenly Edward brought out a rose flower and placed it on top on the grave .
" Hello mother , How have you been "
" Edward is this your mother "
" Yes ,I brought you here to introduce you to my mother "
" Oh my "
He continued to speak to the grave in front of us .
" Mother meet my wife Valerie Theodore "
I held Edwards hand , Tears was threatening to fall out of my eyes .
" Hello mother, How are you doing,I wish I met you , Edward had told me so much about you , Thank you for bring him into this world ,I promise to stand by him no matter what happens , Thank you so much "
Edward bought my hand to his lips and kissed the back of my palm , Then he whispered something into my ears .
" Thank you so much val "
" I love you Edward "
" I love you too "
We spend some time talking to his mother in the grave, Then we decided to head back to the castle .
" Valerie I showed you this today , because I don't want you to make the same mistake my mother made by trusting her friend so blindly , Don't ever trust anyone no matter what happens ,I promise to always be there for you, But you need to help me too by not trusting people blindly "
" I will try my best , But my sister Bethel ,I can't digest the fact that she's going to harm me "
" You need to be watchful okay "
" No problems my love , Thank you so today ,I got to meet your mother "
" I have always wanted to show you to her but I have been busy "
" I love you Edward"
" I love you my sweet girl "
