Eight Child lost for a man 25

The kitten stayed in Alaric’s chambers. The steward brought reportsit thrived, playing with silver bells and velvet mice

I visited it secretly and saw that it was true

I decided to give up trying to take it back

After all, if I died, where would it go

Come spring, the lords clamored for a queen.. 

Vivienne was determined to take the title

Before it came true, she came to gloat

All those years as mistress, never wife. How it must sting! But Alaric promised you may serve at our wedding night—” 

I was too tired to argue with her

For some time, I had been suffering from recurring fevers, leaving me weak and exhausted

Alaric visited me twice, but each time was asleep

He must have noticed something was wrong

The royal physician said it was due to stress, so in an act of mercy, Alaric allowed the kitten to be brought to me

When the kitten arrived, I felt alive again, full of energy

A fed it, scratched its ears, and we napped together

It snuggled in my arms, and for that moment, I felt complete

The kitten clung to me, not wanting to leave

I held onto it tightly and even bit Alaric’s arm when he tried to take it 

He cursed me, You little rogue.” 

And stormed off, leaving the kitten with me

away

الله الله الله الله الله الم الله الله الله 

Vivienne found out and was furious with Alaric

For the first time, he punished her

Perhaps even the most cherished of women would grow tiresome with time

Then one morning, Elara woke me with the news

السلام 

الله الله الله الله الله ال 

Most this pin ilk ikestil 

Your Majesty, there’s fantastic news! Vivienne’s father has been arrestedcharged with embezzling funds and kidnapping young women! He’s in prison now. She’ll never become the queen.” 

I sleepily muttered, Who arrested him?” 

Who else? Of course, it was the one who loves you most and is the most loyal to the crownyour father!” 

A small smile curled on my lips, as I pulled the blanket around me

In my childhood, my father always said that no matter how far someone was, if they wronged me, he would get revenge

If it weren’t for Alaric being the king, I’m sure my father would have already taken care of him himself

And if not for his royal status, I might have done it myself

Ah

Today, I felt unusually lighthearted. I sipped from my bowl of goat’s milk

Suddenly, a terrible cry echoed from the courtyard

It sounded likea cat

Elara rushed outside, and when I followed, she shielded my eyes, her face pale

Chapter

It crawled toward me, dragging its broken hind leg, but it couldn’t move further

It collapsed, spasming, foam bubbling from its mouth

Within moments, it lay still, lifeless

I held it close, gently shaking it, but it didn’t respond

I hadn’t even named it, afraid to get too attached

But now, I realized I couldn’t let go

I looked down at it, its little body as cold as ice

Why didn’t you listen? Why didn’t you stay with me

My tears burned as they fell, mingling with my pain

VivienneIt was her

It had to be

She would die for this

I grabbed the horsewhip and rushed to Vivienne’s quarters, hearing her laughter from far away

What’s the big deal with my father being caught? He took a little more money, added a couple of concubineswhat man hasn’t? That old fool is just trying to get back at me? Well, I won’t let his daughter be happy. I kill her cat today, and will kill her maid tomorrow. She won’t keep anything she cherishes.” 

Vivienne seemed to have lost her mind

And why not? What was once within her grasp had vanished like morning mista dream dissolving at dawn. When I first laid eyes on her, I, too, had nearly shattered

But her madness was hers alone. It didn’t change the fact that I was going to beat her to death

I don’t know where the strength came from, but I swung the riding crop again and again, each lash biting into her flesh. All I could see was my kitten’s mangled hind legsso I aimed for Vivienne’s, striking with every ounce of fury I had

Years of swallowed rage erupted in that moment, violent and unstoppable. The whip fell again and again until Vivienne’s onceperfect skin was a ruin of crimson streaks, her cries fading to whimpers

Enough!” 

Alaric ripped the lash from my handsonly then did I notice I’d torn through his royal surcoat, leaving two ragged gashes in the embroidered lions. Have you lost your mind? Over a damned animal? Would you kill her for this?” 

YES!My scream tore through the hall like shattered glass. It’s all her fault! And yours! You broke me— 

I pressed a hand to my stinging lips. That kitten wasn’t the beast here. You are. Both of you!” 

Alaric’s face drained of color when he saw the blood

Sera,his voice cracked like thin ice, what’s-” 

I looked down

Scarlet stained the front of my gown in grotesque blossoms, dripping onto the flagstones. 1 clamped a hand over my mouth, but the coppery warmth seeped through my fingers

No. 

I won’t be pitied. Not by him. Never by him

Turned 

Turned to fleeonly to crumple when my legs betrayed me. The cold stone rushed up to meet me

And then came the pain

A tidal wave of it, crushing my ribs, drowning my vision
