Chapter fifty nine

*As she kept drawing closer to the fire ,the king ,the sorceress and the priest thought that she would turn and take back her words but Krystal's heart and boldness was as tough as a lioness .

She kept moving forward and forward without fear or favour .*

'For each step she took ,Wales felt set up on fire ,the flames were burning equally within him that when the fire was increased seven times two ,he fell down on his knees and his eyes accented the colour of fire .

Queen Marga and Rhian held him in position as they exited the hall and sent him to his chamber'.

*Most people didn't notice it because they all had their eyes set on Krystal .

'Stop ....a voice from behind said when she was five meters away from the fire .'

*When Krystal stopped ,the burning flames in Wales' body also stopped *.

Son ,are you okay ?

You suddenly fell to your knees in the hall and that is why we brought here .

'Have some water ,love ....'

Mama ,I'm alright .The flames from the fire got me dizzy and my wounds were hurting just by the heat that evolved so I fell on my knees but I'm alright.

We need to go back to the hall ,I'm the crown Prince and I need to be there .

'I need to be there for Krystal ,he thought and headed to the hall while his mom and wife followed suit quickly '

"My king ,the sorceress called out after stopping Krystal from walking in the fire .

Her highness is telling the truth and that is why her body doesn't have a single burn .

When she swore an oath ,the charms performed were to set her up on fire if she gets ten meters closer to fire providing she was telling lies but she got five meters closer to the fire and it was increased fourteen times yet she wasn't set up on fire .

This means that her Highness is telling the truth .

I will take my leave now .

*The subjects began chanting the name of queen Krystal and they all hailed her * .

"Thank you Lydia ,your lucky charm has saved my life today . Had it not been for you ,I would have been dead by now .

When you told me that this will happen ,I needed to .....

'My lady ,you can't enter the ceremonial hall just like that .

Why is that Lydia ?

You have seen the reflection of another man before your husband so the moon won't appear in the holy water of you and the king .

When that happens ,you will swear an oath to sorceress Rubida 's staff and you will be made to walk in the burning flames of fire to prove yourself .

If you are guilty ,the flames will set you on fire by Rubida's charms and if you are not ,you will be free .

But then we know that you are guilty so have this necklace .

It will protect you from all these ,no matter the number of times they question you ,deny it with confidence.

This necklace is really powerful ,it belonged to the sorceress who was an ancestress in our family .When she died ,she passed it on and I got it from my grandmother .

It shouldn't be seen so I suggest you tie it in your hair and cover it up ,if the prince is your true love ,he will bear the pain of the burning flames as well .

Thank you Lydia ,it means a lot to me ."

You saved my life with your lucky charm Lydia ,Krystal thought .*

*************

Heyyyy ,it's celebration time so why are you still guarding this chamber ?

Anyway ,your queen ; queen Eva has sent for you in the royal kitchen ,Lydia lied and destructed the guards so that Laura could enter the chamber .

Why would queen Eva call us into the Royal kitchen ? ,a guard asked .

Hey,relax ,I was just kidding .I brought these sweets for you .I have been ordered to bring these to the guards who are still keeping a watch so take some and pass it on .

*Lydia forged a conversation with the guards until Laura was done .*

I will see you later ,Lydia said and left .

**************

Did you find anything ?

No I didn't find a thing in her room ,Lydia .

I have searched in the chambers of every queen yet I found nothing .

Laura ,there 's one chamber you haven't searched in and that's Queen Romina 's so let's do quickly before they end the ceremony .

Alright ,let's go .

"Wait girls ,Sara and the other people engaged in their mission stopped Lydia and Laura. "

Have you found anything yet ? ,desperate Lydia asked .

No we haven't ,Leticia responded .My team and I have searched in the chambers of the servants and found nothing .

'We have also searched in the Prince's chambers and found nothing ,David said ' .

I sneaked myself into the king's chamber but I found nothing and i couldn't do proper search in the crown Prince's chamber because he was brought into the chamber by his wife and mother so I hid and when I got the least chance ,I escaped , Sara announced .

Alright then Sara ,check up on Krystal and we will do our best to finish the search in the other chambers ,Laura said and they dispersed *

*******************

'Are you satisfied now ?

I proved myself innocent in front of you and this is the beginning of my wrath ,king Duxan .'

"Don't be too sure of yourself Krystal ,you have started doesn't mean you have won the battle .

Let's be frank here ,I wouldn't have enjoyed slaying your throat if you were proven guilty ."

'I'm glad you know that king Duxan .I'm not your soulmate and destiny has proven it so would you still keep me in here as your slave or you will tell me that you don't believe in such things because you have been proven wrong ? '

"You are not under slavery Krystal ,on the contrary ,you are enjoying much liberties than you should .

And about the soulmate ,I'm not perturbed about that .It's just nonsense so start liking this kingdom because you will never get out of here . "

*Sara stood at a point and waved at Krystal *

"Alright then ,may the good challenger win my king .Excuse me ..."

"The good challenger will surely win Krystal because at the end of it all ,you will be mine ,he chuckled confidently ".
