Fake Princess
CHAPTER 122
“ What is it like?” I said with ketus. “ During the wait, I had already imagined what you would say when you came to see me, but all the sentences I had prepared carefully seemed to disappear and move away. I felt a little excited, rash, without worrying about losing anything. “ You betrayed Thorvaldor—you betrayed the king and queen.
Again, twitch the shoulder, with the head slightly bowed. “ Betrayal is a harsh word. I prefer to think of it as fixing past mistakes.”
“ No, you're just doing your family skills. Years ago your ancestors betrayed his sister. He's trying to usurp his throne, just like you're doing now.”
“ But was his deed wrong?” answer Melani. “ Anyway, they're twins. And from any angle, Luisa is a weak queen, and is actually a bit stupid.”
“ That's the throne,” I insisted. “ If you think Luisa can't rule well, she can offer her advice, help her become a better queen. Not trying to overthrow him.”
“ Like I should have done? Offering advice to the king and letting my daughter inherit a minor baron title when she has as much royal blood as your Lady?”
“ Yes,” my wrath, both my hands clenched in the lap. “ Yes, than you do now.” I felt my face buckled fiercely as I stared at Melani. “ You overthrew the soothsayer at Siderros, then killed your own sister after she helped you. You sent a red pulse fever to Omar and the king to kill them. You left Bella alone and poor. You made me think I was the princess. You destroyed all those lives, and not even one harmed you.”
“ Do you think so?” melani asked, and for the first time, I heard a riled tone in her voice. “ As you said, I sacrificed my sister, my friend on campus. I sacrificed my daughter. Before he stayed in the palace I could only see him three times, when I came to him to renew the spell. You'll never know what impact it all had on me.” Melani's face looks so pale that it looks striking in a dark room, and her hands look shaky as she touches her neck. “ Don't ever say all that doesn't hurt me.”
I looked at Melani anxiously, my back goosebumps, Melani came to see me, but I don't know what she wants from me. But I think we'll find out now..
“ It makes you lose your place in this world, your true self. Your whole life—is a lie. The people you care about, can't wait to get rid of you after you don't need you anymore. And what can you expect after leaving the palace? An aunt who didn't want you and let you go without the slightest protest? When an old witch goes crazy when college won't accept you? Love from Devan, who now will never be allowed his family to choose you?”
My body went silent when I heard every sentence, the pieces of truth contained in each sentence felt like glass fragments that scratched my heart.
“ I'm watching you, Amelia, especially after you get back to town. I'm following your progress. From what I see, it doesn't seem happy, does it?”
“ Because of you,” I managed to talk, weaker than I intended. Melani's words were a trap, from the one intended to trap me, and I could feel it piercing down my skin.
