LUCIFER'S REVENGE

Amara's POV:

I shouted, "Dad!" as I entered my father's palace. Don't be surprised; we don't live together, but we reside in the same compound. However, I barely see my parents, which I hate the most. Who tells you that royal families have it all? It's all lies.

My father's guard, Garrett, stopped me from entering, which annoyed me. "Let me in, Garrett," I shouted. Garrett is one of my father's favorite guards and one of the people I'm close to in the palace.

"Go back to your chamber, my princess," Garrett said. "The king doesn't want to see anyone. He's in the middle of a meeting right now."

"No!" I replied, folding my hands beneath my breast. "I'm not going back until I see my father. I have never gotten a chance to be here alone. It's either I'm with my siblings or my maids. Now that I got a chance to sneak out, you're trying to stop me."

I had to see my father; I wanted to tell him something. I didn't know why I felt like I should tell him today. I didn't know why I was having this strange feeling that I would never get a chance to tell him again.

"It's an order from his majesty that no one must enter the hall until the meeting is over," Garrett said.

I was about to reply when I heard the king's voice. "Let her in," my father said.

I stuck my tongue out of my mouth, teasing Garrett.

King Noah's POV:

I stared at my little princess, who was being childishly stubborn. She didn't notice my presence because she was busy arguing with my guard. I spoke out when I knew she wouldn't give up. The Amara I know would continue disturbing him until he allowed her to enter.

"Let her in," I said to Garrett.

I could see the satisfaction on her face. "What brings my princess here without her guard or maid?" I asked, knowing she had snuck out.

Amara's POV:

I shrugged my shoulders. "I just wanted to see you, Father. I thought you would be free today, so I decided to visit without my guard. I didn't know you would be mad at me."

"I'm sorry, King Noah," I added, looking down.

"I'm sure they would have been looking for you," I smirked.

"Go back to your chamber," my father said. "I will come to see you. I have some visitors I need to attend to, and you know the rules."

Of course, I knew the rules. I was not allowed to be seen by outsiders. I didn't know why they were hiding me. I'm not allowed to go out unless I sneak out, which no one must know. The only person who knows I sneak out is my personal maid, Olivia.

"I hope they have a genuine reason for hiding me," I thought.

My father asked Garrett to escort me back to my chamber and left. I frowned at Garrett, who seemed to be enjoying the whole thing. I stormed out.

"Wait, princess," Garrett said, running after me. A lot ran through my mind as I headed back to my chamber. Why is my father hiding me? Do I have some kind of disease that I don't know?

"Definitely no," I said out loud, answering my own thoughts. "Pardon," Garrett said, looking confused.

"Not talking to you," I replied. I was still thinking when a strong scent hit my nose, and I felt a presence of someone passing by me. I stopped walking and turned around to check, but I didn't see anyone. I'm sure something passed by because the palace is full of evil power.

"Do I need to interfere in this? What if my father is in danger?" I thought, looking at the entrance of the palace.

"What are you thinking, my princess?" Garrett asked.

I didn't want to interfere since my father asked me to return to my chamber. Seeing me there again would be like I'm disrespecting him. I don't want him to get mad at me again.

"Let's go," I said to Garrett as I started walking.

My maids ran to me when they saw me coming. I could see the worry on their faces.

"My lady," Olivia shouted. I chuckled, seeing them that way. Not that I enjoy seeing them suffer, I just hate the way they follow me around. I want to be free. I hate the life of a princess.

As I entered my chamber, which is the same chamber as my sisters, I have two elder sisters, Emily and Octavia, and I have one elder brother, Prince Liam. The moment I entered, they started laughing. I know they are mocking me.

I walked into my room, ignoring them. I'm not in the mood for their trouble this evening. It's almost time for me to sleep, and I don't want to sleep with anger. It's dangerous for my health. I don't want to die young. I still have to meet my Prince Charming before anything happens.

I smiled at my own thoughts, and just like a dream, I got a view of what I was thinking. Is this some kind of power I possess that I don't know about? Because my sisters called me a witch, I don't know what makes them think that way, and I'm starting to think like them. What if I'm really a witch?

"I called Olivia to see the person in front of me," "Is a guy, but he's backing me. The only thing I'm seeing is his back view."

"What are you talking about, my lady?" Olivia asked.

"I can't see anything there apart from the curtain," she said, getting me shocked. Does that mean I'm the only one seeing this?

I stood up and moved closer to the person. "You mean you can't see anyone here?" I asked Olivia.

Olivia nodded her head, giving me a "what's going on?" look. I need to see the person's face. I need to see the person's face. It's like I'm the only one who can see this.

As I was planning to touch the person, it vanished into thin air. What is this?

"I said loudly enough for Olivia to hear. "Are you okay?" Olivia asked.

"I'm fine," I replied. "I want to sleep."

"You haven't taken dinner, and I heard the king is coming to the dining today," Olivia said.

"He must have come to the dinner because of me," I thought. "I really want to see Father, but not at the dining where I always feel like I don't belong to anyone in the family. My mother, the queen, doesn't like me, just like my sisters. She likes my sisters and brother a lot. The only two who treat me like family are my father and my brother."

I heard a knock on my door. Olivia moved closer to check the person who was there. I could see from where I was sitting that it was one of my father's guards. He must have come to call me for dinner. I raised my hand to Olivia, telling her to prepare my dinner wear.

"Let's see what they planned for me," I thought.

As I climbed up the stairs to the dining hall, I saw my family already seated. My father, the king, was at the head of the table. My mother, the queen, was beside him, looking as beautiful as ever. My siblings, Emily, Octavia, and Prince Liam, were also seated.

"Amara, come and sit down," my father said, smiling at me.

I walked towards the table, trying to avoid eye contact with my mother and sisters. They always made me feel like I didn't belong.

As I sat down, I noticed a strange man sitting beside Prince Liam. He was handsome, with piercing blue eyes and jet-black hair.

"Who is this?" I asked, trying to sound calm.

"This is Duke Alexander," my father replied. "He is a guest from a neighboring kingdom."

I nodded, trying to smile. But I couldn't help feeling like something was off.

As dinner began, I couldn't help but notice Duke Alexander's eyes on me. It made me feel uncomfortable.

"Amara, why are you so quiet?" my mother asked, her voice dripping with malice.

I shrugged, trying to avoid her gaze. "I'm just tired, Mother."

My father intervened, "Leave her alone, dear. She's had a long day."

I smiled at my father, grateful for his protection.

But as dinner continued, I couldn't shake off the feeling that something was wrong. Duke Alexander's eyes never left mine, and I felt like he was trying to tell me something.

What did he want from me?

Emily's POV:

I saw Amara walking down the stairs, looking beautiful as ever. The gown she was wearing brought out all her curves, making her even more beautiful. But that's the truth - I don't know why her sight disgusts me. I can see that mother is looking for a way to get rid of her , It's obvious no one likes her , and I have found a way to put her in trouble ,I can see the way our visitor was looking at her , something is off .

Octavia looked at Emily and noticed the smirk I'm sure she noticed the smirked on my face. The bitch is planning something for our precious younger sister as well because I can see the look on her face ,I can't wait for the drama to unfold. There's no way the dinner will be boring when my sisters are always here to entertain us.

Amara's POV:

I was about to start eating when I heard the voice I had been wishing to hear for days. I smiled and ran into his arms. The queen shouted my name, but I ignored her and continued holding his hand. I can see the fire in my sister's eyes, but who cares? I always do what I want, not caring about the repercussions.

I looked at the Queen as well and smirked, seeing the way she was burning with anger. I know the only reason she is holding herself back is because of Father.

Prince Logan pulled my cheeks and made his way to the dining table to greet his majesty. He bowed his head, showing respect to Mother and Father. I can see Princess Emily and Octavia adjusting their dresses, checking their makeup. I laughed out loud, looking at both of them. Everyone turned to me, and I quickly stopped and apologized.

The person you are dying for did not have your time, I thought. After greeting them, he made his way to my chair that I stood up from , "Amara!!" The Queen shouted. "Get your act together, you are a princess, behave like one!" She said.

I sat on the chair next to Prince Logan. Prince Logan was about to sit when Princess Emily stood up and offered him her seat. What is she up to? She is not the kind of person to stand up for someone, though when it comes to Prince Logan, she is ready to do anything for him. I know both my sisters have a crush on him.

Prince Logan declined her offer, but she hurriedly sat on the chair that was mine while Prince Logan sat on hers. I could felt the eyes of Duke's on me which is making me uncomfortable.I take my eyes away from him .

I know something is off with Emily because I can see the nervousness on her face. Why is she looking like that? Am I missing something?

Everyone finished eating, and Prince Logan and Duke stood up, ready to leave. Duke flashed me a smile I don't understand before walking out.

I wanted to stand up, but I stopped due to Mother's deadly gaze. Octavia, Prince Liam, and Mother stood up to escort Prince Logan and Duke but something is off. Why is Emily not standing up?

"I raised my head towards Father and saw him holding his chest. I stood up immediately, almost falling down. What happened, Father?" I asked, getting scared.

"Nothing, Amara! I'm fine," he lied, trying to cover his pain with a smile.

Emily was also trying to stand up, but I don't know what's holding her back. Father fell from the chair when the pain became unbearable. I couldn't hold myself again; I screamed for help.

My mother entered and pushed me away from him. The guards and Prince Logan took him to his room. We all ran after them, but they stopped us from entering with him. The only person who entered was my mother and the doctor.

I was pacing to and fro. When Octavia moved closer to me, "What did you do to him?" she asked, taking me off guard.

What did she mean by that? Did she think I'm the one responsible for his condition?

"Don't do this now; let's pray for Father to get well. Why are you asking her such a question?" Prince Liam spoke for me.

"What do you mean, brother? She was the only person with him; that's why I'm asking her." Octavia said.

"I'm not the only one who was with him, and I didn't do anything to him. Why would you think of such a thing? Do you think I'm capable of hurting Father?" I asked.

"If you are not the only one who was with him, who is the second person?" Octavia asked.

"Emily!" I said, looking at Emily, who was avoiding eye contact with me.

Is that true?" Octavia asked.

"No! I'm not with her. I stood up and left the dining immediately after you walked Prince Logan out," Emily said, shocking the hell out of me.

What do you mean? Why are you lying? I asked, moving closer to her when the Queen walked out.

She landed a slap on my face. I held my cheek; I was about to talk when she landed another slap on my face, making me deaf for that moment.

"How dare you hurt my husband?" she asked.

Mother! I called her that in front of her for the first time.

"Guard!!" She shouted.

I didn't understand anything right now. What did I do wrong?

The Queen asked the guard to take her to the interrogation room. Amara looks at her with tears as the guards dragged her away, but she care less about that right now. The Queen look at prince Liam and see the pain on Prince Liam's face. He knows that he must not interfere." I need to do something to chase that girl out of the palace before she causes a big problem.The queen said

"How is Father?" Octavia asked her mother.

"The doctor said he is okay now, but he is not sure when he will open his eyes," The queen replied her.

"Then why are you punishing Amara?" Prince Liam asked.

"Because he ate poisoned food, and who was in the dining with him?" The Queen asked

"But Father had eaten finish before we all left the dining," Prince Liam said.

"Get out of here! I don't want to talk about anything related to her," the queen and entered the king's room.

Amara's POV:

I sat down in the interrogation room, getting weak. I have been getting tortured for the past two hours. What I don't understand is why I am being punished. Why are they asking me to confess when I did not do anything?

I'm not bothered by this; I'm just looking for someone to ask about my father's health. I know Mother hates me, but I don't know it could reach this level. I only thought she always shouted at me because of the way I behave childishly, but she proved me wrong. She really wants to get rid of me.

I have been crying since I got here. I have been waiting for someone to come to me and tell me it's all a misunderstanding. I have been waiting for Prince Liam to help me out of this mess, just like he always does, but I didn't see him anywhere. I guess he turned his back on me as well.

I was losing hope when I heard the door open. I raised my head happily, but I was disappointed. I thought it was Prince Liam, but it was Olivia. It seems she secretly entered this place because of the way she is behaving.

I looked at her face; I guessed she has been crying since. "My lady!" as she walked closer to me.

"How is my father?" That's the first question that came out of my mouth.

Her face dropped with the question I asked. I hope it's not what I'm thinking. What happened to Father?" I shouted at her.

"He is out of danger, but they don't know when he will open his eyes," she said.

I felt relief a bit, at least he will be able to prove my innocence whenever he opened his eyes.

"I said, but Olivia started crying more. What happened? Are you hiding something?" I asked her.

"I heard the Queen asking one of the guards to execute you," she dropped the most shocking words of my life.

Execute? That's a lie. Mother will not say that. Why would she sign for my execution when I didn't do anything wrong?

Amara

I lost all hope ,there is nothing left for me ,I don't know when I dozed off until I heard the cracking of the door which wake me up ,I checked everywhere and it was dark ,how long have I been sleeping ? Time has really gone .

And then who enters I can only hear the foot steps ,I can't see the person because of the darkness.

Who is there?"I asked but it comes out like a whisper , I'm really tired to even open my mouth ,the person did not talk .

Are you here to kill me ? I asked

I didn't get any response ,what is this ? I'm sure someone entered into this place .I said

"My princess "I heard that voice ,I can not mistaken the voice for someone else

Garrett"I called out

"Yes ! My princess"He answered

What are you doing here ? Are you the one they sent to kill me ?" I asked

No! I'm not here to kill you ,I'm here to stop that from happening "He said getting me confused

Stop them? From executing me ? Is that even possible ?" I asked

Don't blame ,I have lose all hope I don't want to get my hopes high and he is a guard what can he do ? I will only put him in more trouble

Is possible ; I'm here to get you out of here "He said

I smile happily ,does that mean the queen knows that I'm not the one that poison father "I asked

Is she letting me out ?" I asked not giving him chance to talk

No ! That's not the case ,I want to bring you out of here ,I want to help you escape "He said

What do you ? You want me to run away ? I asked him

Yes! He said

No! Never ; I will never run away ,If I did that ,it will only make everyone believe that I really tried to kill the king ,I would rather be executed than to be a run away prisoner, where will I get that they won't later look for me

Sooner or later they will find me and kill me ,I can't run away forever ,it better I die with the little dignity I have left than to die with shame ",I said

And you think they will give you chance to prove your innocent ? I made a promise to the king to protect you Incase anything happened and I'm going to fulfill that

Do you think if you die and the king later wake up ,what would he think ? Why don't you escape and find a way to prove your innocent

Do you want to die as a criminal who tried to kill the king ?" Garrett said and he has a point but how do I get out from here without being caught?" I asked him

I have a plan ,he said and untie me ,he hand over a clothes to me

I put the it on ,the clothes was covering my body from head to toe hiding my face as well so that no one will know

He helped me up since my legs are weak ,he stayed infront putting me behind him

He checked everywhere to see if there anyone is coming before we walked out

I can see the guards guiding the prison on the ground ,they are unconscious

He must have do something to them ,we continue walking

Who knows that I will leave the palace like this ? I thought

We were about to reach the gate when we heard stop

My heart skipped a bit ,Who could that be ? I thought

Don't open your face and Don't talk "Garrett said as the person walked closer.

ALEXANDER'S CLAN

Alexander's pov

I was inside my room , seating on the chair with my eyes closed when I felt a sharp pain penetrate through my heart .

I opened my eyes and I can sense that it has changed to red ,that happened when ever I'm in pain or getting angry

But I'm not angry right ,so what's going on ? I thought and take a look at my skin and I could see some bruises on it as if i was beating

What is going on ? I need to see priest Andrew

I thought and called Kael my right hand man ,who ran inside immediately

Get the car ready ! We are going out "I said

Now ?" He asked

Yes! Now ,I know the reasons why he asked that question I didn't plan to go out today and I have the time I go out

He bowed his head and left ,let's see what is going on?

And why am I feeling like someone is calling for me ?" I thought as I walked out from my clan

I could see the fears in my guards faces and the maids ,they all fears the sight of me alone

They all went on their knees as I passed by ,who wants to die ? Who want to dare me ? No one could do that because they know that the punishment is death

The only person that doesn't fear like they do is Kael and that was because he has been staying with since childhood so he knows a lot about me

But he can't stand it as well when I'm angry because the whole Earth will shake

I entered the car , Kael also entered why some of men take another car

I really don't like it when they followed me around but Kael won't listen to me

I don't know what he takes me for ,did he think I could be danger

No one can face me except Cassius ,one of my brother ,the one responsible for my destruction.

His power is a little greater than mine and that's because of the lighting strike he possess and I'm planning on how to get it as well

I'm getting close to getting it ," Kael pack the Car

I got down and walked inside the bush ,that is where priest Andrew house is

No one could know that , there is a house here

I entered the house using my teleport power ,and as if I know something was wrong

I met Priest Andrew in a pool of blood ,I ran to him

Who do this ? I asked getting angry

Priest Andrew is the only one I trust apart from Oscar

I remove the knife that was stuck inside him ,I was trying to use the knife to caught my hand so that I can use the it to heal him

Yes! My blood can heal

He stopped me from doing that ,I look at his eyes ,he shook his head

I tried to connect to our heart together so that j can read his mind

The knife is not an ordinary knife ,which means he can't be safe

He hand over a book to me before he gave up the ghost

Who did this ?" I thought

No one knows this place apart from me and my men

Why did they killed him ?" I thought moving away from him

I walked from his house ,my men move away from me they could sense the anger within me

What happened?" Kael asked

Andrew is dead "I said shocking him

What do you ? Did he tell you the person behind it ? He asked

No ! If the person knows about this place and he is capable of killing priest Andrew

Definitely you are not save ,but who could that be ?" He said ending his words with a question that is going on in my mind.
