Day of execution

Edward woke up looking bad the next morning , he hasn't slept the whole night , not only due to his frequent nightmares but also he was fighting interiorly with that mysterious voice of yesterday.

The day of execution of April is tomorrow and he didn't want to be here and look the scene because he will feel hurt , he felt too betrayed to see her. He thought that she was different from the others but it wasn't the case.

He stood up from his bed and directed himself to the bathroom.

He looked at himself into the mirror then poured some water on his face and looked back into the mirror.

[Lub Dub]*

He put his right hand on his right part of his face squeezing it.

"I will not allow you to....." He didn't finish his sentence when another Lub Dub* sound occurred.

He gave a punch to the mirror and it broke , blood flowed on his hand, he was breathless.

".... get out" he continued.

He took his bath and went out of the bathroom. The servant was waiting for him to dress him but Edward told him to go that he will do it himself and the servant obeyed.

After preparing himself, he directed himself to the table where his breakfast was waiting for him. He sat on the chair observing the food , a strange silence was in the room.

Suddenly, Edward right hand started shivering and sweating .

"Think about soothing things, think about soothing things " he repeated continuously whispering

KNOCK

KNOCK

"Huh?!" Edward came back

"Ed, it's me Katherina can I enter?" She asked

"Enter" He said

She entered and sat on the chair next to him.

"Are you alright? You look bad" she said

"I'm okay" He said

She stood up and move to his direction, she kneeled down and hugged him.

"Huh?" Edward was surprised

"You can count on me" she said softly

It felt good to Edward but it did not has the same effect as April's hugged or his mother but it felt good to be hugged again. He hugged her back.

In the dungeon at the same moment

"I prefer to die!" April said

Laurent laughed mischievously

"Let your desire occur" he said while getting out

"Oh! Please greet my mother for me in the other world" he added with a mocking tune and finally disappeared.

April cried

"Why me??!!"

Edward's office

He tried to concentrate but it wasn't possible. He mind always went on April, thinking about her.

He shook his head

"Why I am thinking of her?" He said a little displeased.

"Your highness, someone want to talk to you" Gaetan said

"Who's that?" He asked

The person entered without permission.

"It's me!"

Edward eyes opened widely.

"What are you doing here?" He asked

The next day, Day of the execution.

The bell could be heard all over the kingdom. The pyre was already prepared, where she will be burned. The people was curious to know who will be executed.

The guards came and took April in her prison to bring her to the backyard where she will be executed in front of the entire kingdom. Her eyes were empty with no expression, she looked weak, her body was moving but it was as if she was not the one controlling her body.

They went out of the dungeon , passing all the quarters, move to a long corridor and they were about to leave the corridor when they saw a silhouette of a man waiting for them .

"Stop! She will come with me" the silhouette said

"Huh?!"

"Do you want to disobey my orders?" Asked the silhouette

"No your highness " they said.
