Chapter 14 Cynthia wants a revenge
ULYSSES ALEXANDERS POV
I waited for her to get here. She stood in front of me and I saw how serious she is.
"Did I heard it right? Revenge?" I ask. She nodded.
"I want a REVENGE. Gabrielle killed me, father killed my mother. All of them is the reason why mother and I lost everything. Just because that king desires power, he uses my mother. To take what ever he wanted in life." she said. I am about to flick her forehead when she place her palm on it. I didn't continue flicking her.
"Did you even know what are you talking about? Do you want to use his majesty to have your so called revenge?" Estella. She speaks after just sitting there, listening. Cynthia looks at her and she looks down. Estella know how to wreck someone else's courage. That's her bad side.
"Yes, I know that everyone will think of that. But my revenge is not raising an all out war against Dawn kingdom. I saw faces of evils. I know when I meet one. I dare not to bring tears in innocent and good beings. I dare not to use person's lives for my own desire. I know what it feels like being used for someone else's sake." she said.
"I really like you. You are simpleton yet caring, considerate and loving witch. Just like Cendrea."
"You meet mother too, Miss?" she asked to Chenqian.
"I am. She is as stunning as you. As kind as you but not that...weak, simpleton and naive." she said.
"At least I can also hear other words and experiences about mother. That made me happy as if she is still with me." she said.
"If you want a revenge are you willing to lose everything?" I asked. She looked at me.
"I already told you. I don't have anything that's why I let you mark me as your mate." she said.
"You should know that seeking revenge needs plans and especially time."
"Cynthia is good in waiting. But! I must correct one thing! I don't intend to lose everything while seeking revenge. I can't lose Windy and Wendell. Also aunt Miranda, aunt Clara, Dallas and Daisy."
She even count using her finger and she suddenly looked at me. She also pointed me.
"Especially YOU." she said. Pricilla laughed.
"YOU are a strange woman, princess Cynthia. Your bold enough to speak what's in your mind." she said. She stopped pointing at me and brushed her nape while laughing softly. I shook my head.
"You should learn how to be prim and proper."
"I am not joining any pageants. I don't need that."
CYNTHIA MAXIMILLIAN POV
One thing surprises me. This place is warmer than I thought. He also have allies and friends that are genuinely good beings. I am also happy to learn that someone from them had experiences mother's kindness. That is Song Chenqian.
'But I have a problem. This woman, her name is Estella. I can sense that she has feelings to Ulysses. She is trying to pick a fight on me. I better be ready.'
"I don't know what exactly happened to you and I don't care about it. Don't you dare using any magic and your body to seduce his majesty. I won't let you use his power and the kingdom for your desires."
She leaves the room in a flash. She has super speed. I took a deep sigh. I gain my first enemy here. What a shame. But I knew myself that I am not into that.
"We are sorry about Estella's attitude. Please do understand her." Pricilla.
"She likes you. I mean she loves you."
"That is a keen observation for a newbie like you. I never thought you are not naive regarding that matter, princess Cynthia." Marko.
"Refrain adding princess on my name. I already knew that title is not belong to me."
"Oh. Okay, no problem." he said. I smiled.
"I know that. Estella has been with me over 21 years. I can't lose her. Just try to mingle with her and try not to get into trouble." he said. He suddenly leave us upon saying that. I sigh and look at the window. From here, I can saw that there is a mountain around this palace. The three elders speaks.
"We will take our leave. We will surely call the two of you from private talk. For now, you have to train yourself and be a witch that is dependable."
They all disappeared. I can tell that they uses a teleportation spell. Chenqian stood beside me.
"Technically, Estella is the best fit to be the king's mate. If I remember it correctly, they are supposed to get married and mark each other seven years ago. But the elders reveal to his majesty about you. About the witch in the prophecy that an alpha should marry to stops the brink of extinction nor eradication of our kinds." she said. That surprises me. What kind of help I can do for this race? 'I hope we are not hiding anything to each other.' But I have to be careful. Not only to Estella, not only to this kingdom and to Dawn kingdom. Not only on my power and the curse that mother left behind.
'I should be more afraid of my own heart.'
"Alright everyone. Let's all stop from here. Let's all go to the kitchen. Dinner is about to serve." Vincent.
"He is right. Let's go in dining hall." Pricilla.
ESTELLA HOLSEN POV
I drink the wine that poured in my glass. I end to throwing again. Just like the other ten glasses that I threw first. I sense his presence.
"Just like what I predicted. Stop drinking already Estella." he said. I smiled bitterly.
"And what do you expect, huh?! What do you think of me? Idiot?! Bastard?! I am not hypocrite Ulysses! I hate this situation. I hate it!" I shouted. He held my wrists and embraced me. I cried in his chest.
"I know, Estella. I can tell that." I said.
"How can I be happy, Ulysses? How can I?!"
"I'm sorry Estella. As an alpha and the king of Skyfall. I have big responsibilities that I have to prioritize. Even that means of losing you. If maybe we leave in different times and situation. I can...marry you."
"No! Please don't say that!" I said. I hug him tighter and look at him. I can show him my weak side where I can't do to other beings. He held my cheeks.
"Estella, I am so sorry. If I am not the alpha. I can keep my promise to you." he said.
"Don't be sorry. If the prophecy happens. Maybe we can start over again. You can divorce her and I can help you in making her regret being with you. Until he will decline you herself."
"I have been with her for a week. She is weak but stubborn. I keep on asking her and even choose the mythical forest to be our path all the way here but she never did." he said. I smirk.
"You are talking to Estella Strauss, Ulysses. I am good in making people feel unwanted. More than her sister did to her." I said.
"Refrain yourself, Estella. We can't make the elders get mad. You know what will happen to you if that happens." he said. I gritted my teeth.
"Of all the alpha's. Why did they pick you. Why it has to be you!" I shouted. He kissed my forehead.
"I know. I know." he said.
"Can you stay a little longer?" I ask. He nodded. He sat down and poured his own drink.
"Cheers?" he said. I smiled and picked my wine.
"Cheer." I said. We drink the wines and he indeed stay here for the meantime. Early in the morning, I decided to go in the palace when I saw that witch playing with the children they bring.
"Please don't make any problems, Estella."
"Stop nagging me Pricilla." I said to her. She saw us, she wave her hand and smile.
"Windy? Are you okay?" she said.
"Remember what I said, Estella." she said.
"Aaaahhhh!" she shouted. Pricilla went to her. Everyone also comes out. The tiger lay down.
GEORGE QUINN POV
I pulled the leash of my horse. I am now in front of the Skyfall palace. Guards stops me.
"Commander of the knights in Dawn kingdom. I am here to take back the first princess."
"Let him in. Let the king and the duchess speaks to him but make sure to be on guard." a man said.
"Understood, Lord Marko." the guard said. I followed him and in the garden, I saw Cynthia. Her hands is dripping in blood. I ran to her and hug her.
"G-George? What are you doing her?" she ask. I took out my sword and pointed at them.
"What did you do to my princess?!" I roared.
"You have guts." that werewolf. I gritted my teeth.
"How dare you." I said. Cynthia held my hand and I saw her hand dripping in blood.
"What are you doing here? Don't tell me you're here with the royal army? Are you trying to kill everyone?" she said. But I didn't take my eyes off them. Their eyes turned yellow.
"Commander of royal knights George Quinn, answer me!" she said. That made me look at her.
"No. I came here myself. I wanted to see you. I wanted to make sure you're alive. I will be taking you back." I said. I look at her bloody hand. I took off my clothes and wiped them off.
"You never change even a single bit, George."
"I will never be, Cynthia. I will protect you from here on." I said. Tears fall in her cheeks. I wipe them off.
"Don't cry. You know very well that I don't want to see you crying." I said. She smiled.
"Thank you." she said. I pet her.
"What happen to your hand? Did they do something bad to you?" I ask. She chuckled.
"No. My tiger went into labor and I attended her."
"Tiger, what?" I look on where she is pointing her palm. I chuckled and saw a couple tigers and they're licking their new born. They're giants.
"I'm happy that you are alive. Let's go home."
"I can't George." she said. I knew why.
"It's about crown princess, isn't it? Especially how the royal family threw malice on you along with the court." I said. I knew that very well.
"It's because Gabrielle loves you. But I don't love her. I will never love a cunning and evil woman."
"I have to give up things, George. You, my title and my life in the palace." she said. I looked at her.
"No please! Don't give us up, Cynthia." I said.
"I am no longer clean, George. I am not virgin anymore. I gave that up to ran away." she said. I already have a hunch of that. Her eyes turned pink.
"I'm a witch now." she said. What did she say?!
