Chapter 3 The Murder Of All Pregnant Women And Cassandra Was Helped By Nana Lucia

The Queen visited the King under the kingdom in which they were confined. Accompanied by the servants and some of the Queen's guards they descended the winding stairs of the basement. There are also adobe wall torches. But if you go down you will smell the disgust coming from the depths of the prison.

The combined excrement of the prisoner, sweat, rats devoured the dead captives who preceded the King and his companions. They were the criminals who were imprisoned by the King in case they fell ill and died there, so the rats ate its remains.

Every footstep of the layer can be heard by anyone who listens because only a little noise will be heard.

When the Queen went down to the cell, she looked at each prisoner in each cell one by one as she passed by. The jail was large enough to hold more than a hundred of prisoners contained. The condition of the prisoners inside their cells was deplorable. Some were lying down while others were holding the rejas when they found out that the Queen had visited them.

"Here's the Plague Queen! Shameless Queen of Darkness. Go back to hell, you Witch!" a prisoner shouted inside the cell that the Queen passed through so Demora stopped and signaled to the soldier to take the shouted captive.

The soldier opened the cell when the woman shouted in anger at Demora. Two pawns dragged it and brought it in front of Demora.

"What do you want?" Demora touched the ale's chin.

"Release me!" The woman struggled to let go of the pawns holding her two hands.

"Release her!" Queen's command to the pawns.

They immediately released the woman.

"I wish you were voodoo, Demora for what you are doing! And may you die..." The woman didn't finish what she was going to say because Demora seduced her with her sharp and long nails.

The woman knelt down and fresh blood flowed from her stomach as well as into her mouth. The guards' eyes widened and they grabbed the down-laided woman. The other captives saw this and all shouted.

"You really are an animal, Demora! You have no heart! You are a demon!" The King shouted when he saw that Demora had killed his companion.

Even the king's chief officials and advisers shouted because of their hatred for Demora.

"That's what will happen to anyone who tries to fight me!" Demora shouted, still laughing as if she was abacked.

Her soldiers, on the other hand, continue to feast on the corpse of the slain of their Queen. Demora immediately approached the King and spoke.

"Eleuterio, there's nothing you can do. You're just there in your prison. You're mine and your whole kingdom..." Demora continued laughing.

"You will not succeed either! Your wickedness will also end!" the King shouted as he clung tightly to the iron railing of the cell.

Demora turned away continuing to laugh. She had something more to say to the King but it was thwarted by the interference of the captive. She has already stopped her soldiers from eating.

"Stop it! That's enough! You still have to take care of something. You need to find pregnant women in and out of the kingdom and bring them to me. Go ahead! Move on!" the Queen growled at her soldiers.

The other soldiers immediately went up the stairs and Demora followed, but before she could go up, she turned to the King and left a disgusting smile. The King was furious.

"Your evil will also end Demora. Just wait," said the King.

Meanwhile, the skeletal body of the female captive was left on the ground. When the captives saw this, they vomited and the others wept because they were worried that the Queen would follow them again.

"Mother, I'm scared." A child hugs his mother.

"Don't be afraid, Son. Let's just trust in God and he won't leave us," the mother reassured her son.

Sometimes Cassandra had to go out of their house to go to the midwife to check on the baby she was carrying. When she left the house, she was greeted by the Queen's soldiers and other staff who were entering the houses to look for pregnant women to take to the Queen. All she heard was screaming and screaming.

So that the soldiers would not notice that she was pregnant, she rode in a chariot loaded with vegetables and fruits, but Cassandra was very nervous when she saw in front of her that there were checkpointed soldiers and skulls and people. who smells every passer-by at that checkpoint.

"What am I going to do?" Cassandra said to the driver ahead.

"There you are, no matter what happens, don't make any noise and move there," said the driver who was kind to Cassandra.

The driver covered Casandra with sacks of vegetables and fruits and even sprayed perfume on the sacks to cover up Cassandra's smell so that she would not be smelled by the Anitays and people.

When the carriage stopped at the checkpoint, the people sniffed and Anitay smelled the driver's carriage before they passed it.

"What the heck is that?" sighing language of the menotaur at the checkpoint.

"Fresh vegetables and fruits for the Queen," explained the driver.

Menotaur turned around in the carriage and did not interfere with it. Cassandra, on the other hand, has a stomach ache because of the fruits that have run out of her. She can't speak or cry because she will be ruined so she just endured the hardship and nervousness.

"All right, it looks like your load can only pass through vegetables and fruits," said the soldier.

"Thank you," the driver thanked.

It was as if a thorn had pulled the driver and Cassndra out when they passed the checkpoint. The driver stops Cassandra at the house of Nana Lucia - the old midwife in the kingdom of Avalonia. Demora's minions will not be able to move her because she has antidotes and orations that can control the soldiers to become idiots and divert attention to others instead of her household.

"Cassandra, it's a good thing you got here safely," Nana Lucia said.

"Yes, Nana Lucía. I'm really grateful to manong because he covered me up with the soldiers," Cassandra explained to Nana Lucía.

"You know, Cassandra, why the soldiers are arresting all the pregnant women here inside and there as well outside the kingdom?" Nana Lucía asked.

Cassandra just nodded.

"No."

"Because a baby has been prophesied to be born to save us all against Demora."

"Who is that baby?" Cassandra asked in astonishment.

"None other than he will be your son."

Cassandra's eyes widened at Nana Lucia's words.

"Then, I have to hide my son from Demora."

"That's exactly what you should do," Nana Lucia replied.

"Nana, help me," Cassandra begged.

"Don't worry, I'll help you escape here in the kingdom."

"But how? Even if I can get through the soldiers but I can't get through Demora's magic on the border of town?" Cassandra feared.

"Just a moment." Nana Lucía stood up and handed Cassandra a talisman.

"What is this?"

"That's the talisman of penetration. It can go through any obstructing objects or even magic without being interrupted," Nana Lucia explains.

"Thank you very much, Nana."

"But you'll only use it at twelve o'clock at midnight because those are the only hours that will work. And you have an hour to get stuck. Because if you exceed an hour, the amulet will expire. And that's not all, so it will also make you invisible so that the soldiers cannot see you and neither can they smell you," Nana Lucía continued and will.

"Thank you so much for your help, Nana. I will never forget you." Cassandra hugged Nana Lucia.

"For the sake of the town and the welfare of us all," Nana Lucia replied.

Cassandra left Nana Lucia's house but she did not go through the road but behind Nana Lucía's house. Nana performs an Incantation to make a portal back to Cassandra's house. The portal is limited to the entire kingdom and cannot be used remotely. Because if it can be used far away, Nana Lucia will definitely be able to leave her house as well as the people of Avalonia.

When the soldiers had brought the pregnant women to the castle and presented them to Queen Demora. Ten pregnant women were there and those outside the kingdom were not included.

"What are you going to do to us? Let us go! Don't touch our children!" cried of a woman begging the Queen.

The Queen ordered that the pregnant women be killed one by one. And they jumped on the floor with their bellies on. Just as the soldier was about to kill the last pregnant woman, someone shouted from behind the soldiers.

"Don't kill my daughter! I know where the boy prophesied!" the pregnant woman's mother cried out that she would be the last to be killed so the Queen stopped killing the last pregnant woman.
