STRANGE WOMAN

"ahh " Astriana groaned as she opened her eyes to an unfamiliar ceiling mixed with black and red , as sunlight seeped through the window and blinded her eyesight .

Kaden looked at the face of the man he was holding , whose face was already turning red due to loss of oxygen , how he wish he can just rip his head out of his body but he does not want to stain his floor with the disgusting blood of humans , so he pushed him to the floor  and said get out to him with a low voice as the doctor squabbled to get on his feet taking large gulps of air , and ran out with out looking back .

"where am I " Astriana said as she looked around the unfamiliar room until it landed on Kaden who was stating at her with a blank face then memories from earlier came rushing in .

Kaden noticed the change in her  expression as his face became dark , then he took an overall glance on her body , he walked up to her then he got a whiff of a foul smell , then he remembered the man who tried to rape her , and his face grew dangerously dark as Astriana shivered in fear ,

"You stink go take a bath " Kaden said to her with a dark voice as her face became bright red of embarrassment for being told she smelled so bluntly .

"where is Yana and Chera " she ask with great with teeth as she remembered the two maids who caused all this and she can only pray they did not escape   as she can not remember seeing their faces when she passed out .

" There are at the dungeon " he said as he walked out of the room without sparing her a glance .

IN THE DUNGEON

A woman stepped inside one of the cells where a young girl laid , her brown hair filled with blood , and sticked to  her already battered skin , her maids clothing ripped , due to evidence of whipping as her clothing sticked to her injuries while she groaned in pain ,

"Yana " the woman said as she lifted the black cloth from her head as looked at the girl whose head was raised staring at her with wide eyes ,

"my lady you have to save us , they are going to beat us to death , and use us as compensation for the princesses wishes " the girl said as she fell on her knees while touching the feet of the woman in front of her .

Have you spoken a word , the woman asked her as Yana shooked her head ,

"my lady you know I would never ,but I don't know about Chera " the girl said as she thought about the other maid , whom she had not seeing since she was brought down here and tortured ,

"good you do remember what that Princess and her family did to your sister and family  , don't ever forget that , hate is your weapon " the woman said as the girl's face grew dark , how could she forget her sister  , she still remembered every single detail about her sister , as she was the closet to her , her best friend and companion , her shining white hair , the colour of cream , exactly like hers in comparison of their mother , her hazel green eyes like that of their father  ,

her white milky skin always smooth and shining and her unique beauty , her sister was one to always know the latest fashion trend and varieties of make , her beauty was Like no other , but today her beauty is six feet under the soil , as she was brutally murdered by the man she loved dearly , and not even given a proper burial , her only mistake was to love him , a man who does not deserve her , King Erik of Nardsia , a man whose name she would never forget till she breathed her last breathe , her sister was one of the many women to fan for the playboy king, King Erik , and since they came from an Elite family ,

her father being the vice - count and her mother the vice - contess , they at least had time to see the king , as her sister always made sure to wear the best , and flaunt her beautiful and sumptuous body in his front , till he finally spared her a glance , and took her , making her one of his many mistresses , although her father was not in favor of this but he could not argue with the king , but her mother was so happy with her sister over the moon , within time she became his favorite amongst all as he always came to her room , and takes her along side to many occasions ,

as her sister tells her all this when ever , she goes back home for visit , but there was one thing , her never married her neither did he look like he would ever want to , she tried to tell her sister to beg pardon from the king  not to be amongst his mistresses anymore , since she had been there for five years now and he never made a move to court her not to talk of making her his wife , but she never listened , eventually the matter arrived in court , where the king was forced to pick a bride or his rule would be jeopardized , and he actually prepared to marry her sister that was until Leonora came in and captured his heart ,

and he married her and left her sister , within time her sent all his mistresses home , as his wife and Queen asked , but her sister refused to leave , she made plans and remained in the palace , she made so many plans to destroy the Queen along side her , because she wanted her sisters happiness which lied in the king , but they where all soiled by the Queen along side the Kings sister Princess Astriana , till her sister committed the gravest of all and was killed in cold blood by the only mam she ever loved without a hint of mercy , compassion or love in his face , just hatred for her ,

for trying to touch his beloved , with a stab to her heart , and after that , her body was burnt in front of the palace for all to see .

Then her family was banished from Nardsia for helping her sister in her plans and her father blamed her and her mother for everything and supporting her sister in all her evil deeds , then he left her and her mother alone , never to be seen again , within time her mother committed suicide , leaving her alone,  and she had to run to Hezab for food to eat and she got a job in the palace , when she saw Astriana that day , she felt over joyed as she can finally take her revenge on her , she knows , Astriana could not recognise her , as she had to change her features , and dye her hair brown , and she could no longer wear her fashion clothes like before , but instead a stupid maids clothing , and became slimer all because of the stress she had passed through ,  even though she knows she cannot enter Nardsia ,

not to talk of entering the palace to kill the king and Queen , but now their beloved princess is here , just in her reach , she accepted Safeera's plan with happiness in her heart , but now the plan is all ruined and she could never get her revenge .

'Lena , my lovely sister , I am so sorry for never getting the revenge I promised you ".
