Chapter Eighty Seven

'Where is the noise coming from ? ,the King asked .'

The voices of the people were really loud as they got closer .

Soon ,chants were heard from the deep toned voices of a group of men following with a few women behind them .

' Torture her..torture her ....torture her, the men chanted .'

'My king ,a group of men who have a woman in their custody want to see you .

They said it 's urgent ,a guard said and by the permission given by the king ,they entered into the royal court.

Everyone was curious to know what was going on ...'

Let me go ....let me go ...let me go ...the cries of a woman were heard as she was been brought to the court .

Two bald men who were reeked in sweat held her tightly and threw her to the floor in the court .

She fell directly at Krystal's feet .She was badly beaten up and her face was disfigured but once she saw herself lying at Krystal's feet ,she pulled her lacerated bruised body and used the last quota of strength left in her body to hold her dress firmly as she uttered ..'Save me ...'

'She deserves to die ,the bald man with long bushy moustache voiced out angrily .

She doesn't deserve a minute of breath ,the other bald man said with his face burning up in anger .

It was clearly seen that they had this animosity towards the poor young lady with bruised skin .

With all the torture ,she survived and still pulled through her pain as she uttered ' save me ' for the second time .

'What is the matter ? ,Prince Wales asked standing upright to his feet .

His eyes shone like the dim set of moons at night and as he moved closely to the bald men along with their supporters behind ,Krystal felt a pound in her heart .

She was breathing really fast as he turned his gaze from the bald men to her direction .

Quickly taking a swift look at Krystal and how the young lady 's blood had stained her white dress ,he turned away his gaze and quickly focused on the young lady .

She was wearing a blue dress which depicted closely the stains of blood in it .

She was totally flooded up in blood as her dress was torn apart.

She had a scissors cut on her left cheek .Looking at the way blood was dripping from the scissors cut on her cheek ,no one would tell you how fresh the wound was .

As Wales walked closely to the young battered lady on the floor who was grabbing onto Krystal's dress tightly , concern tinted the gentleness on his chiseled features that were enhanced by the warm rays of the setting sun .

'Come on ...he stretched his hands out to the young battered lady who looked helplessly in the Prince's gaze as though she wanted to beg for mercy .

'Get up .....he once again stretched forth his hands to her .

His tone was very gentle ,but his eyes held a feared glint once he looked at the bald men who dragged her to the royal court , and Krystal's disdain towards these men made Wales boil up in anger .

'They triggered my Krys' emotions ....he thought as he was not going to let this go .

Anything that made his Krys uncomfortable was to be removed out of the way .'

... ...

My Prince ,she doesn't deserve mercy .....another man who was among the people who came to the royal court and in support of the young lady's death voiced out loudly as the Prince helped the lady to her feet .

She could barely stand since her feet were burnt so she leaned on Krystal's support as she didn't retreat having a common slave like her cry to her for her life .

'What happened ? ,the Prince asked calmly yet his voice had a slight trace of anger fuming up in him .

For a moment ,he wished he wouldn't judge this case but slit their throats and bodies into pieces for maltreating a woman .

However ,he was a just Prince and he wanted to hear both parts of the issue before passing his final judgement . '

'My Prince ....the bald man with long bushy moustache voiced out .

His bushy moustache made him rather horrifying at a glance .

'This lady here murdered her own husband and she deserves to pay for it .

She murdered my brother and decided to flee but we grabbed onto her and brought her here for her punishment .

She deserves to die for committing such a hideous and devious crime ,he shouted pointing his index fingers at her .

Had the young lady not been under Krystal 's protection ,he would have poked the lady's eyes out looking at the angle of projection of his index finger .

He wasn't just angry but furious because his younger brother had been murdered by the young lady .

I want justice and she deserves to die .....he said it out louder this time .

'She should die .....she should die .....she should die ....the other men chanted but the women shed tears looking at how the bald man had gained favour by his words .'

The bald man spat out his words with much confidence because he knew he had the win over the case .

In the past ,King Duxan would only listen to the side of the man and if his words went against the woman ,he wouldn't hesitate ending her life .

This instilled fear in most women, that they never had the courage to voice out their fears .

'She must die ....she must die ....she must die ....the men continued their chants .'

The atmosphere became calm as the chants were only heard in the whole court .

'Hehe ....hehe ...hehe ,the young lady laughed mockingly at herself when she heard ' she must die .....she must die ...' constantly in her ears .

It was ringing in her head and her eardrums heard it loud and clear as it echoed .

She couldn't help but laugh out loud to her heart content .

Hehe .....hehe ....haha....haha .....she dragged her battered body and continued laughing .

Haha ...haha ....haha ..
