Previousley....
When dissolved in his daydream, suddenly the door creaked. Signaling someone coming in.
In an instant, Anastasia's bright green eyes widened with an unstoppable sense of disbelief in her heart.
Anastasia's heart seemed to stop beating, when she saw the incoming figure and began to approach her.
...~ The Atrocious Duke's Wife...
...Chapters...
...(45)...
Prince Yari clenched his palm again while thinking hard about the thing that just happened. His jaw hardened so that his bones were carved clearly.
His right leg could not stop moving because of anxiety. And his eyes were empty but stifling.
Damnit damnit! It turned out that the Countess had known all along about her plan to kidnap the annoying woman. Does this mean that the Countess also knew all her plans because she was a witch?
If it was like that, then everything would be chaotic! But he could still handle it by turning around to threaten the Countess.
Yes, he could threaten that Countess by revealing her identity. Because in the kingdom of Erosphire, witches are now considered as contemptible and sinful creatures.
Until, if there are witches who are caught living in the kingdom of Erosphire, then the witch will be immediately burned to ashes in front of the entire Erosphire community.
When dissolved in his mind, suddenly there was the sound of a door slamming loudly followed by the presence of two figures who suddenly appeared.
When he found out who the figure was, Prince Yari immediately stood up and shouted in annoyance. "Why are you here?! Didn't I tell you to go eliminate him?!"
Feeling wrathful from being yelled at by something that was not his fault, the brown-haired male figure inside the room immediately replied to prince Yari.
"dissipated? How can we eliminate him if that prince alone is not in the place you said before?!"
Prince Yari gaped, why did everything immediately deviate from everything he expected?
First, they caught someone wrong. And second, they had lost the chance to kill his sister and did not know where she was right now.
"Damn it!!!"
Brak!!
Prince Yari lunged at the wooden table before him in wrath while growling in annoyance. Does this mean that he is being played by the Countess?!
"How dare that woman!!" in the heart.
"Then, if you don't mind. Where did you put the Countess?" ask the brown-haired man.
The black haired girl next to him was silent.
Prince Yari returned. "The countess, run away."
"What?! How could he escape?!" The brown-haired man grew angry. In fact, all he wanted was to eliminate that Countess from this world.
"It turns out, the Countess was lying. He didn't lead the archer troops, he had someone else take his place and he fled" explained prince Yari.
The brown-haired man was trying to control his emotions, and at that moment he realized something. "Where did you put your fake captive?"
Prince Yari. "He's in the basement."
Suddenly, the brown-haired man immediately ran into the basement. The black haired girl who was beside the man just now immediately followed the man.
Prince Yari found it strange to see his partner because he looked very hasty. Is there anything?
After a long time of thought, he realized something. He finally found out why his partner was in such a hurry.
If Prince Darren wasn't in his starting position, then he could have gone to rescue the prisoner he had captured a few hours ago, right?
Damnit damnit!
In an instant, Prince Yari immediately ran after the two comrades to the basement where he held his captive.
It didn't take long, the man with the title of crown prince had reached the room where he locked the girl they had kidnapped earlier.
The man's widened eyes showed his pitch-black iris, when he no longer saw the presence of the girl he had wiped a moment ago.
Prok! Prok!
"Look, how amazing is the way you work, Your Majesty," said the brown-haired man who became a fellow prince Yari quipped.
Prince Yari could only grit his teeth as everything was very deviated from their plans all along.
The brown-haired man looked at the prince before him. "A prisoner, you just leave it unattended. How can you be so stupid?!"
In an instant, the collar of the brown-haired lekaki's clothes was pulled very strongly by prince Yari.
"Shut up!! Don't you know who I am?! You're lucky I didn't kill you right now after saying that!!"
The brown-haired man immediately took off the rough check of prince Yari on his neck collar. And a second later, the man directly punched prince Yari until the prince fell on the ground.
"Sister!!"
The black-haired girl who was originally next to the brown-haired man immediately approached her brother who just fell and hit the floor.
"Stop it! How can we solve the problem if you guys behave like this?!" yelled the girl.
Veronica, she had grown tired of being silent in response to all the behavior of her brother and the man she liked.
"Heh, solve the problem? I am not going to. I don't care about everything anymore." The brown-haired man screeched and stared lightly.
"What do you mean?" ask Veronica. The girl wished the man had not said what he had just thought.
"It's up to you to side with whom. However, I don't want to cooperate with your stupid brother anymore. Now it's your decision. Who will you side with" said the man.
Veronica jerks. What's the matter? Why did everything become like this? In the beginning, it was certain that they would win.
But...why did the situation turn around? If it were like this, who would he choose? He doesn't know at all.
"Who would you choose, Veronica?" asked the man with a scary look.
The black haired girl clenched her hands in frustration. On the one hand, she must be a devoted sister to her brother, and must let go of the man she likes.
But.. if he chooses it, then all his efforts so far will be in vain. Because the reason he did this was to make the man he liked also reciprocate his feelings.
If she chose her brother, then she would lose the man she had liked all along.
From that very moment, Veronica got up and released her grip on her brother's arm.
Prince Yari stared in disbelief. Did his own sister betray him?
"Veronica.. What are you doing? You can't betray your own brother, can you?"
Veronika folded her lips with her brows furrowed. The girl had decided which side she would choose.
Prince Yari glared his eyes when he heard those words from his own sister's mouth. It's not what he thinks it is, is it? There's no way his sister would betray him just like that, right?
"Unfortunately, your sister is a selfish and stupid woman."
After saying that, Veronica turned around and walked away from her brother with a cry that almost cracked.
The brown-haired man now turned his body around. Before that, he had briefly turned his head towards prince Yari at a glance then screeched.
Until finally, the two figures disappeared from before prince Yari.
The coldness of the floor and the coolness of the rolling wind, became a witness to the unpleasant incident.
Prince Yari now clenched his hands with his hardened jaw. The man was angry over everything.
He wanted to kill everyone who was annoying himself, and would not let go of anyone this time.
"I'll kill you all, damn it!!"
...~•~...
Just a moment ago....
Prince Darren immediately went darting away using his horse towards a place where his lover might be in danger.
He found out where the girl was, because Jeanne told one of her men to keep up with Anastasia's movements.
As he was about to reach his destination, the man stopped his horse a little far from where his lover was most likely.
This, is the headquarters of prince Yari. The place the prince was preparing to face any danger that might visit. Even though what the man did was the exact opposite.
When he had managed to sneak in, Prince Darren also tightened the scarf that covered half his face and immediately darted in search of Anastasia's whereabouts.
He had arrived at a basement, where most likely all the captives were held in this place.
There was only one guard monitoring the entire movement in this dark underground chamber. When Prince Darren observed, it turned out that the guard was carrying many keys that were stuck in his belt.
Not wanting to invite much commotion, prince Darren immediately shot behind the guard and smothered his mouth. The prince's hand immediately pulled out some key that was stuck.
"Take this and get out of here" said prince Darren, giving him a bag of gold and putting it in the guard's pocket.
The guard immediately nodded heavily then fled quickly without the slightest sound.
Prince Darren moved quickly to find his lover, until finally there was a room where he saw Anastasia.
Without warning, Prince Darren immediately tried all the keys from the various forms of keys he got earlier to open the door of the room where his girl was held captive.
For a long time, the door finally opened. Prince Darren rushed in and approached the girl, who was tied by a thick rope.
Anastasia still could not believe that this figure before her had actually come to her rescue. "Darren... Is that you...?"
"Yes, it's me." Prince Darren finally really released the winding rope that overshadowed Anastasia's body.
Shortly after, the man immediately embraced the girl and dropped her on his deep hold.
"How come... You know I'm here?" asked Anastasia limp. For some reason, suddenly the girl felt that not a single force was perched on her body.
"We will discuss it later, for now we have to go," said Prince Darren straightforwardas.
Anastasia nodded, until before long the girl was a little surprised when her body was lifted just like that and had been in the hands of her lover who was holding her.
Then, the girl said that bright green draped her hands on her lover's neck to feel balanced.
Before long, they finally leave the place and use the horse of the man to really get away from the place for before they are caught.
...~•~...
Not felt, it turned out that the war had lasted long enough. Autumn has greeted. Many leaves fell, as did the lives taken by the terrible war.
The blowing wind swept away all the sweat and blood resulting from the countless struggles of the soldiers who had fought hard to defend their homeland.
After a long time, finally the victory approached the kingdom of Erosphire. Initially the Nephorine kingdom still insisted on fighting back, but as the Nephorine army grew fewer and fewer per day, the kingdom decided to surrender.
Prince Yari was so angry because things did not go according to his plan, he did not have time to act like a hero because Prince Naelson no longer wanted to cooperate with him.
And, in this war, Prince Darren really takes everything seriously. The man was called the savior for all lives in Erosphire because the prince took a role in the war this time.
The second prince received a lot of praise and appreciation. Prince Yari hated to admit it, but it seemed like the throne would be handed over to his younger brother.
Prince Yari does not care about it anymore. Because now he just wants to avenge the Countess's actions for messing up his entire plan.
Prince Yari will prove to the whole land of Erosphire that the Countess is a witch, for the Countess to die to ashes right before her eyes.
Over the course of a few days on the journey, finally everyone who took part in the war had returned to the kingdom of Erosphire. Their country.
The nobles and some of the soldiers who participated in the war were now in the palace hall.
There was the king's throne right in front of them so they all bowed and bowed respectfully greeting the king after much effort.
"I really appreciate all your hard work on this war. Victory is now ours, therefore I want to reward all those who take part in this war!" the king gave a standing ovation.
Prince Yari continued to wait for the right one while hearing his father's speech that invited many smiles when it escaped the suffering that had ensnared them all.
Long enough the king spoke until finally prince Yari could not hold his patience anymore.
"I'm sorry, if I'm so outspoken cut off your conversation, Your Majesty. But there is something I have to say" he said as he walked up to the king and knelt before him.
"What's so important to you that you have to cut my words?" ask the king.
All eyes now looked at the prince, until finally prince Yari spoke making a silent atmosphere.
"In this room, there's a witch in disguise among us" prince Yari said.
Whispers were now heard making the king immediately raise his hand into the air to remove any noise.
"What do you mean, Prince?!" the king asked a little surprised.
"Among all of us, there is one witch who sneaks in," prince Yari said, glancing at a girl far to his right.
There was a blond man beside the girl who always accompanied her presence.
"Do you know who you mean?!" King Hamilton sounded hurried. Naturally, because the threat was between them.
"Yes, Your Majesty. I know it."
Shortly after, prince Yari stood up and started facing his right side. Her index finger was now pointing towards the brown barley girl reaching the thigh with the iris in rhythm with her mane.
"The magician in disguise is Countess la Devoline, Your Majesty."
