Chapter 17

“Dad.” Isabelle called out her dad, she was so shocked with the way her dad directed his statement. She thought he was about to say something good about the whole thing until he said he will cut off his neck.

“How can he even say such a thing.” Isabelle said to herself and looked at her dad. Harold is not someone that likes to hide his words if he is going to kill someone for doing something he will say it out without hiding anything.

“I am just saying what I will do to him if he betrays me, did I say anything wrong?” Harold asked Isabelle honestly. Isabelle gave him a disgusted look and looked away immediately.

Isabelle always know how to make her dad look like the bad person. Harold turned to look at Isabelle and he saw how upset she looked.

Harold was confused at Isabelle reaction, he don’t understand why she is reacting to what he said, she don’t even know the guy in question so why does it look like she is trying to protect him.

“What is wrong with you?” Harold asked Isabelle sounding a little upset by her reaction, Isabelle looked at him and looked away immediately. She was thinking of another way she can help Robert Louis from the mess he put himself in.

“Why am I even doing this?” Isabelle asked herself unknowingly aloud, Harold turned to look at her when he heard what she said he was confused at her reaction and now she is talking to herself.

“What is it that you are doing?” Harold asked Isabelle. Isabelle was shocked to hear the question her father asked her she cannot believe she just said that aloud.

She shut her eyes and put her finger in her mouth, she cannot believe she just said something like that aloud, she started thinking of what to say to her dad after he heard what she was supposed to say in her mind.

“Dad, I mean I don’t know why I am always angry when you talk about killing offenders, that’s what they deserve right?” Harold was shocked to hear what’s coming out of his daughter’s mouth.

He looked at her very well to be sure she is perfectly fine, Isabelle was smiling stupidly while looking at her dad.

Harold was confused. “Is my daughter okay?” Harold asked himself while looking at Isabelle and her horrible looking laughter which is obviously fake.

“Are you okay Isabelle?” Harold had to ask her when he couldn’t hold it in again. Isabelle nodded her head to tell him she is perfectly fine.

He smiled when he noticed she was really saying the truth which is clear that he didn’t figure out she was lying to him.

“I must be stupid to tell him that killing is okay, I can’t stand it.” Isabelle said to herself and shifted her face with her eyes shut, she was trying really hard not to show her displease in what she said to herself.

Harold still couldn’t believe his ears, his precious daughter has finally seen that what he is doing is the right thing and he has every reason to do it.

“I told you, you will understand me one day.” Harold said and held her very tight. Isabelle was shocked when her dad gripped her, she could not believe her dad believes what she said to him.

She looked at her dads face and she saw how excited her dad looked, it looks like he has been waiting all his life for this to happen.

“Dad,” Isabelle said to her dad and immediately he noticed he was holding her too tight, he released her and cleared his throat, he was obviously too excited that he didn’t know he was holding her very tight.

“I am so happy you now understand that this is the only way to be a good ruler, you cannot be too nice else you’ll be stepped on.” Harold said to Isabelle trying to justify everything that he always do. Just when they were talking a young boy was brought in.

Harold turned to look at the boy who was already beaten, Isabelle was shocked because he was obviously in serious pain, she wonder why they hit him the way they did he looks so innocent.

Harold looked at the young boy very well and smiled then he looked at the head warrior and as usual the head warrior nodded in agreement. Harold smiled and turned to look at Isabelle.

He would have ordered them to take her back to her room but now that she is cool with the things he do he felt there will be no need for him to send her to her room.

“Dad why does he look like that?” Isabelle asked Harold and instead of him to reply her he just smiled and stood up from where he was sitting. He walked down and stopped walking at a point.

“We all know the rules here, why do some of you take it for granted and decide to disobey my rule!” Harold yelled out angrily, he was already tired of repeating the same thing every time, someone needs to be taught a lesson else it’ll not stop.

Isabelle was glued to the young boy, he looked so scared that he couldn’t raise his head to look at anyone, his hands were shaking while he was on the floor.

“He looks innocent.” Isabelle said to herself while she was looking at him. while Harold was talking all of a sudden a lady had her way into the house and she fell on the floor and started crying.

“Please spare him, he is innocent.” The young lady said with her knees on the floor and her head bowed low. Harold turned to look at her and he couldn’t feel any single pity for her.
