Chapter Ninety one

Ha !

Had you loved me for once then this wouldn't have happened King Zarus .

You were a King and not a father to me .Had you loved me for once then ,I would have been better than your beloved Carmen ,Rhian said challengingly .

"Love ?

Rhian ,I gave you a home ,a name and a title and is that not enough to show you how much I love you and adore you ?

When would you stop comparing yourself to others ,Rhian ?

And as far as I remember ,you are the one who owes me a favour and as for me I owe you nothing ,he spat out in disgust ."

Enough both of you ..enough already. Queen Rahima interrupted them .

'Step aside Rahima ,if your daughter doesn't learn where her stand is , then ,she deserves to know ...'

There's no need to lecture me now dad ,please if you care and adore me like you do then please save my marriage by apologising for your misdeed ,Rhian said .

'My misdeed ,Rhian ?

Like seriously ? You want your father to apologise in front of that little teenage girl for forgiveness ?

Is that so ,Rhian ? '

Yes it's so dad ,it's so because you were flirting with her when you got drank .

It isn't even for the sake of your drunkenness but it's a fact that you get infatuated with every beautiful girl who comes your way and it's also obvious that you couldn't resist her beauty as well .

'Rhian ....the king shouted on top of his voice and raised his hand at her in anger .

The rage that fumed up in him could tore her apart into pieces .

His eyes were sharp like the two edged - sword which was looking forward to piercing everything it sees .

Zarus ...Queen Rahima tried stopping him from slapping Rhian for the second time but he retreated and pushed her to the floor landing a slap on Rhian's cheeks .

'Slap ....!

'Slap ....!

'Slap ....!

Three hot slaps were landed on Rhian's face as she went blurry all of a sudden .

Her face reddened as she cried out bitterly and said to her father how much she felt hurt by his actions .

'You never loved me father but I kept on loving you blindly .I tried to impress you but all to no avail .

What did I do wrong ? ,she asked as she dragged herself on the floor to hold her father's Royal robes .

They were that heavy so she used up all her strength to question her father's love for her .

Your misdeeds have brought my marriage this far and so if there's no Wales then ,there's no Rhian ,she said and what seemed like an ordinary threat or dream to her father became a reality when she unsheathed her father's sword and tried stabbing herself with it .

Rohan stopped her and she passed out from her hurting face.

For that reason ,King Zarus apologized to Krystal to save his daughter's life .

However ,it went down to history and he considered it an embarrassment to his reign as king .

..... . ....

Your daughter has embarrassed me and that is something ,I can't forget so you can't tell me to calm down .

Zarus ,she's our daughter so I suggest you calm down and we talk about this ,Queen Rahima desperately added .

No Rahima ,no .. he shouted at her .

She's your daughter and not my daughter .

That ungrateful child has just shown her true colours .

It's high time she knew that I'm not her biological father but rather I had mercy on her and that's why I married you .

And today look at her ,she has grown wings because I have given her a home ,a title and status ,he shouted at Queen Rahima for the second time .

'Had you not killed my husband two decades ago ,I would have been living a peaceful life with my daughter and my husband ,Queen Rahima added in desperation.

Wow Rahima ,wow ....you are such an ungrateful person .You are now accusing me of killing your husband when that good for nothing husband of yours strangled you to death .

That drunkard whom you boast of as a husband denied your baby and for that reason ,he was ready to kill you two for his own peace of mind .

I came to your rescue and now I'm the bad guy in the picture right ?

Tell me what I should sacrifice for you and your children before you know that I really cared then ,huh .

'Stop this drama Zarus ,stop it now ,because you and I know that you married me for your own selfishness .

Other than that ,why would a great king like you have interest in a poor ragged lady like me who was expecting another man's child ,huh .

Tell me ,if it was not for your own selfishness then why did you marry me ? '

You amaze me Rahima .You are right ,a poor ragged lady like you was not in my interest however ,with the way you were been strangled to death by your useless husband made me come to your aid .

And Rahima ,I'm not ungrateful like you to forget that sometime ago after waging a war ,I almost lost my life and got saved by a forest tigress at that time .

You were strong ,energetic and determined so I decided to come look for you and thank you only to see how you were been treated by your husband .

God being so good ,I rescued you by ending his life and I married you and took care of the child of your wretched husband and you call me selfish ,huh ?

You know , the only reason why I'm still with you is because I love Rhian like my own daughter .

At least ,you saved my life then so I 'm saving your child now.

My son Rohan is also another reason why you are still my wife ,other than that ,you could have gone to hell for as long as I cared.

'You don't need to remind me that Nia is the woman you love Zarus ,because I know but at least do me a favour and carry this secret about my daughter to your grave .'

Wonders never end ,King Zarus said curving his lips into a weird smile .
