Chapter 1
Lilian's POV
" Lily, Just stop shivering and go ! "
" but, but he is - "
" Go ! "
my mother said to me violently, after we witnessed that,The King Ilias killed the Queen Mary in our tavern.
I walked towards him with fear, carrying my lute and watching his guards standing by him.
he was sitting calmly at the table, wiping the blood out of his hands, while his dead wife placing her head on the table completely dead after he cut her neck for God knows reason.
he suddenly looked at me after I approached his table.
it was his first time in our tavern.
" I asked my maids and they said that's the best tavern in our kingdom, so I wanted to see myself with my dearest Queen "
he said calmly pointing at his wife while gazing at me, capturing my reaction.
" It's our pleasure to have you at our tavern your highness "
I said quickly kneeling to him to hide my shivering body and I heard him laughing, grabbing my chin with his fingers.
" I want your best drink, the most delicious food and a nice song "
he said while moving his finger on my cheek, he was very handsome, has a long dark black hair, shinning brown eyes, his skin was so soft and his smell was royal.
I hate myself so much for staring but he was so close to my face, gazing at my eyes.
" Yes your highness"
I dragged myself quickly away from his hand and ran to prepare the most delicious meal we ever made in our tavern.
" God please help us, we want to live"
my mother said and I was focused not to make a mistake.
Our king is cruel and crazy, anyone will anger him would be executed .
I finished his meal and put the best drink on the tray, going towards him again.
he was sniffing the air, smiling a little, then started eating.
he didn't even care that the table was full of blood of his dead wife, he seems to enjoy the food.
" Sing for me "
suddenly he said, I can't even talk probably right now, I just want to vomit .
I carried my lute, My voice please don't crack.
" You're my story, you're my book, I was reading, and just got lost, Please guide me to the end ~"
I was singing with my calming voice, closing my eyes, when I opened them, I backed out suddenly.
he was standing staring so closely at me.
" not bad"
my cramping shoulders relaxed a bit, then he grabbed my right hand, put a bag full of pennis.
" Carry her home "
he suddenly said pointing at his dead wife, I don't even know if he realised that she is already dead !
his guards obeyed and carried her out of our tavern.
then he follows them without another word.
" oh my god, we're alive"
my mother said and she came to hug me, I was ready to pass out while looking at the bloody table.
" I hope we never see that crazy ever again"
I said and went to throw his money on the table, washing my hands and my face from his dirty hands.
" that money will help us a lot thanks for your voice"
my mother said happily and I smiled.
" It was your food who made him pay"
My mother was a singer like me, and now she is the best cook I ever know.
my dad just entered the tavern.
" What is my dearest women do without me, oh my god, is that blood!"
My dad was a blacksmith, who taught me how to fight just to defend myself.
" yes father, it's blood, the blood of the Queen "
I said with creepy voice and he was shocked that made my mother laugh.
" you murdered the queen !"
he looked at both of us and we explained what happened to him.
" that dirty king, If I was here, I would have throw him out "
I kept laughing my heart off.
" I imagined that "
I didn't know back then.
" Stop laughing, I'm very hungry"
that I opened the gates of hell.
" Cook for yourself, we nearly had a heart attack, from what we witnessed"
that I dig my own grave.
" you're so weak, both of you!"
with my song for him !
