Amelia's Mum POV
A few minutes after Amelia left that was when I heard a knock on the door, immediately I heard the knock my heart started beating rapidly because I don't need a soothsayer to tell me that it was my husband...I contemplated for a while before I stood up to open the door for him
"Welcome honey," I said and collected his bag from him.
"Thank you" he replied and smiled then walked inside.
"Omg!! Hope nothing bad had happened to my only daughter" I thought and breathed out heavily.
"My wife, hope there is no problem??" He asked.
"I'm just wondering that you came a little bit early today," I said and quickly lied.
"By the way, where are my daughters??" He asked and I felt like passing out immediately.
"Oooh, about that I will let you know... please first of all go and shower so you could eat and I will gist you about everything," I said.
And he walked inside immediately.
"Jeez!! I pray this plan should work" I thought immediately he entered.
Ava's POV
"What is happening?? Why will mummy ask me to go in search of Amelia when she knows that I don't even know her whereabouts" I thought immediately as I ran out of our compound.
Or is she still angry because I came home late?? But this is not my fault I had to help that poor guy home if I hadn't helped him my conscience will judge me and I will keep thinking about it today.so I had to help him and I didn't even know that his house is too far from the bush and that is the reason why I went home late because I had to take him home.
But where did she expect me to see Ava when I don't even know where she is and she didn't even tell me where she went? Maybe I might locate her and see her. had it been I was at home when she went out maybe I would have overheard their discussion and gone in search of her or maybe I should go to her friends' house she might still be there gisting with her friends.
"But didn't she know that it is already late and why is she not at home by this time??" I thought as I passed the direction to her friend's house.
Amelia's Mum POV
A few minutes later…
After he stopped eating and with the way he was glaring at me I felt my heart piercing into pieces already because I knew about what he wanted to ask already. and I was already praying for it to skip his mind.
"It's getting late already, why are my daughter's not at home already??" He inquired.
And I started crying immediately when he asked the question.
"Why are you crying?? What happened?" My husband asked and walked up to me then clenched my hands.
"It's Ava!!" I said and started crying more.
"What happened to Ava, what happened to my daughter??….why are you scaring the hell outta me, please talk to me," he said.
"You know what, have been restless since morning but I just want you to eat so I could enact the news to you," I said.
"What news?? Please speak to me because you are getting me scared the more" he said.
"Earlier this morning, I overheard Ava telling Amelia that they would be going to the market to get some things and I had already thought she was joking but ever since then I have not seen them and I didn't even know when they had sneaked out of the house," I said.
"What?? Are you damn serious woman?" He asked while I nodded.
"Yes!!" I replied and wiped my tears.
"Are you really a mother??" He asked and I was so shocked...
"What did you mean?? Why are you asking me if I am really a mother??" I asked him.
"Your daughters are out there and you are here spilling rubbish, instead of you to search for them," he said and stood up then walked out of the house.
"What??" I squealed and ran after him.
Queen Charlotte's POV
I was sitting down on the balcony calculating how many days were left for the king when I heard footsteps approaching my direction...I removed my gaze from the ground and to my greatest surprise, it was the guards who I sent to search for the healer.
"You incompetent fools, where the hell is the girl I asked you to bring??" I asked in anger and disgust.
And immediately one of them pulled out his sword and showed me, it was filled with blood.
"My queen!! We saw her and slaughtered her immediately we got hold of her" the one holding the sword said and a smile escaped my lips.
"And why didn't you guards bring her head so I would bury her in the palace so I could always remember the dead fool," I asked angrily.
"We are sorry my queen" they all chorused at once.
"Anyways that doesn't make me neglect how you guys left my son's premises, and I will make sure you all will get punished for it," I said and arched my brows.
And they were still in my presence gawking at me.
"You may all leave now," I yelled and they all ran out immediately.
And immediately they left, I laughed out loud.
