Valerie pov ...
Finally the party ended in peace without anymore dramas .While the guest was leaving to their various destination ,I sat beside Edward my mind was far away from this place ,I kept thinking about what lady Josephine said a while ago .
I placed my hand on my stomach , feeling scared of losing my child , Just then Edward held my hand .
" What are thinking about my love "
" Edward it's about what lady Josephine said , Am worried "
" You have nothing to be worried about "
" Why, what do you mean by that "
" Her curse can't have any effect on you , Her daughter is guilty "
" What if she's not , what's going to happen"
" Let's allow the council to decide that ,They will be here very soon "
" You mean they are on their way "
" Yes darling ,let just wait for them to come "
Suddenly the door was opened and Samuel walked in .
" My lord the councils are here to see you "
When he made the announcement ,Three men walked into the event hall .
" Congratulations your majesty "
" Thank you councilman James ,I didn't see you people at the party '
" We had something important to take care of ,So we decided to come over as soon as we got your message , Let not waste too much time ,Bring in the prisoner "
Samuel bow is head and walked away ,He later came back with lady Grace ,she was still struggling to free herself from his grip .
" Let me go I did nothing wrong "
She was dragged to the center of the hall and was force to knee down .
" This is injustice let me go am innocent "
" Quiet woman ,Let the council do their job "
" Let me go, Please I beg of you "
" Lady Grace if I were you ,I would stay quietly and allow them do their job except you want to be dead even before they start "
One of the men brought out a book and started saying some magic words .
" Saprto fasito latina "
They waited but nothing happened ,He did it again nothing happened , After concluding on their investigation , They turned to the king .
" Your majesty , She's not a witch neither did she practice witchcraft.
Suddenly we said someone voice from the side of the hall .
" Then may be you are blind "
We all turned towards the direction where the voice was coming from .
" I beg your pardon what do you mean that we are blind ,are you going to teach us our job ,said councilman James"
' It's either you are blind ,Or maybe she has a resistance magic spell that can't make you see who she really is "
"Huh ,"
They had this surprised look on their faces , Raphael walked up to them and pull them to a corner.
" if you wouldn't mind excuse me ,let me do the job ."
When he started walking closer to Grace , She stood up and was about to ran , But unfortunately she couldn't , because Raphael was faster than her ,He picked her up by the neck and slammed her back against the wall , She struggled to free herself but she couldn't , Suddenly her skin started changing to that of a snake her tongue and her eyes changed to that of a snake too ,She throw a punch at Raphael but he dodged it .
She tried to use her leg ,But Raphael was fast enough to grab her leg and twisted it to the side , She let out a scream .
"Ahh..... hissing like snake "
Edward picked up a bow and arrow and shot it right into her chest .Grace fell to the ground , Suddenly there was chaos in the castle servants were screaming , Running helter scatter looking for were to hide .
We stepped out of the hallway trying to see what was going on , When suddenly , Lady Josephine grabbed my hand and held a knife to my neck .
" King Edward , You think you can kill my daughter and get away with it right ,I will make sure I kill that thing you value most , Tell your men to lower there weapons or I stab her to death this instance "
She kept dragging me trying to use me as a way of escape .
" Back off everyone ,I mean it I wouldn't spare her ".
On the order hand ,I was so calm on like before , When I saw she was getting close to the entrance Raphael disappeared and appeared behind her .
" I don't think that's a good idea Roosevelt"
Immediately her attention was diverted, I used my elbow to send a punch to herself and she quickly let go of me and ran as fast was my legs could carry me , Then i hid myself behind Edward .
Suddenly her body started changing , This time it appeared to be different from the one I saw in the event hall ,Her body had scales on them , It was so irritating, That I felt like throwing up ,I was still trying to catch my breath , When Raphael spoke up .
" Hello Roosevelt ,it's a while "
" Raphael ,I didn't think you will figure me out so easily , Don't you like my disguise"
" Were are the owners of the body you used "
' Long dead ,I figured out that this body will be the best way to carry out my plans but Tsk..you caught me "
" And the guards who was sent to bring you to the castle "
" Dead too .... Haha....."
" Stop laughing Roosevelt it's not funny "
" Off course it's funny ,Am finally seeing my brother after so many years "
" I have Finally got the chance to kill you after so many years too "
A bright smile appeared on his face Raphael draw out his sword and they started to fight , They took it outside the castle , Suddenly it began to rain heavy , The fight didn't stop,There swords continued to clash making a loud noise in the rain , They continue the fight until Raphael finally took Roosevelt down .
Edward escorted me back to our room to sleep , Immediately I entered I started throwing up ,He quickly helped me with a glass of water to drink , Then picked me up and placed me on the bed .
" Val am sorry for what I put you through today , Am sorry please forgive me "
' It's not your fact Edward ,it was bound to happen "
" Am sorry , I wouldn't have forgiven myself if anything happened to our child"
" It's not a problem , Come sleep.with me ,I can't sleep alone not after what I saw today"
" Okay let me change ,and come join you "
He walked into his dressing room, changed into his sleep wear and came to lie beside me .
" Edward !"
" Huh."
" What happened to lady Josephine , and lady Grace"
" I don't know yet ,I will send a search parties to go look for them "
" Okay Good night '
" Good night darling '
