Chapter 5 Breaking free

Banshee's POV

"Now I have done what you wanted, please tell me what is making you so happy" I managed to speak after struggling to recover myself, breathing heavily like I just ran a long race.

I'd rather show you, go inside and freshen up. I think it's best we even shower together" the king grabbed my hand, and took me to the bathroom.

This wasn't the first time he was bathing me, but today was very different. He seemed to be enjoying it more than I was. I had never heard him sing as he scrubbed the sponge against my skin, giving special treatment to my b**bs as he would slow down whenever he got to them??

" I thought you were just bathing me, and not romancing me?" I tried to tease him but he didn't give me any answer. He was already lost in a world of his own.

When he was done, I quickly got out of the shower, trying to dry my hair with a towel.

I got dressed and he held my hand as we walked out of the room. I thought he was going to take me out initially, but when we stopped at Catherine's room, I suddenly became confused. I mean, what is making him so happy? Is Catherine dead or something?

He flung open the door of her room without even knocking. For the first time in 10 good years, I saw Catherine smile and that made me very scared. But she was talking with a lady, a younger girl. I couldn't see the girl's face because she was backing us, but whoever she was, she seemed to be making Catherine very happy.

I slowly closed my eyes, as the girl talking to Catherine turned to look at us. I'm guessing she must have heard the door opening and also felt our presence. Catherine was very protective over this girl as she held her hand and pushed the girl behind her, trying to show some kind of defense or something.

The girl looked very familiar as I stared into her eyes, trying to pierce her soul and find out what she was thinking but I couldn't.

"Mia" the king stretched his hand and pointed at the girl.

He needed not to explain himself too much. I understood what he was trying to tell me but I got very confused. How can she be Mia?

"Are you surprised?" The king asked me as he held my hand, he stopped his excited behavior and looked at Catherine before letting go of my hand.

"Banshee, change my face. I want Catherine to know who I am" the king said to me, if we weren't having anything between us, then I would have taken it as a command because his voice was so firm.

"Are you sure?" I asked him because if Catherine was to see what he looks like then the game would be over. Ever since we held Catherine captive in the palace, the king had always tried his best to conceal his look from her. He got tired of hiding his face and changing his voice, each time he wanted to come and talk to her so he made me cast a spell in the room, so it would be that, whenever he would step inside the room, his face and voice would change completely, that way Catherine would never be able to find out who had been keeping her hidden all these while.

"Yes,at least she deserves to know the truth before I send her and her daughter to go meet my Arthur" he chuckled and looked at me.

I closed my eyes and began to chant my mantra, rubbing my fingers together as I would turn my neck to the left and then to the right. The whole place was slowly becoming dark and the lights also began to flicker.

My eyes began to change color as my eyeballs disappeared and only a white color could be seen in my eyes.

I could understand that Catherine wasn't scared.

Because she had become used to seeing me performing my magic in front of her, and my transformation no longer scared her as it used to. But Mia, Mia, she didn't even look frightened a bit. She just kept blinking her eyes and her folded hands firmly on her chest.

A blinding light struck and everyone had to close their eyes because the light felt very painful to the eyes.

And when Catherine opened her eyes to look at the king, the shock and anger that splashed all over her face couldn't go unnoticed. Catherine, who looked very happy and delighted once again, looked like she had lost everything, including her senses in a heartbeat.

Even Mia could sense her anger as she became frightened of Catherine, so let me understand this girl. She wasn't frightened when I manifested my powers in front of her for the first time, but she became scared just by seeing the look on Catherine's face. WOW!

"HOW COULD YOU" Catherine yelled and I'm sure, if not for the fact that the palace was in a very secluded area, then her voice would have reached the neighbors by now.

"How could I do what? You and that stupid husband of yours are responsible for everything. I did all I could for you two not to have children but you still double-crossed me. If you had told me that you were pregnant, then I would have found a way to k*ll your child and who knows your husband would still be alive" The king smirked at her as he made a ticking sound, with his tongue touching the roof of his mouth.

"Tsk! Tsk! Tsk!" The king mocked Catherine.

"I used to love you so much" the king started his sad story that I have heard so many times that each time he wanted to say it again, my ears would automatically start hurting.
