My painful love

Chapter VII

Warning, this chapter contains violent and bloody scenes

Melissa was dancing in her room holding the gifts Black had brought her. Her heart was beating with joy, not only because she confessed to Black, but also because she felt that there was hope that he would reciprocate the same feeling that the coming days would be full of happiness.

Kitty: You seem to be in a good mood today. Is it all because you saw him today?

Melissa: Oh Kitty Then she walked over to her hugging her if you know what happened today Then she dragged her to dance with her We spent all day together and he kept smiling at me the whole time Then she bit her lip shyly I told him I loved him

Kitty opened her eyes in shock.

Melissa smiled he was asleep he didn't hear me but I said it the last and best thing when I wanted to leave he told me he was sorry for bothering me all the time and I was a good person And believe me, this is a big thing. Black never apologizes, then she threw herself on the bed laughing

Kitty: So you finally admit that you love him and she nods. I'm so happy for you, Melissa. I just hope you're not wrong and he doesn't break your heart.

Melissa: he won't break my heart, Kitty. Black is bad-tempered, yes, but I am sure he will never harm me. Awaa, I'm so happy, I want to dance until the morning. The coming days will be full of happiness. You'll see

Kitty: I hope so, now change your clothes and go down to dinner Melissa laughed, saying yes, mom, and then they laughed together .

Black was sitting in one of the rooms of the palace with all his trusted followers, numbering five, including Loki

Black: Does everyone understand what they are going to do?

Loki: Let me clarify something. We will kill all the ministers who may oppose you, and the rest of the army will surround the Senate in order to frighten them, and you will kill the king who is your brother.

Black Smiled: Yes, that's the plan

One of the men said, what about the princeLeo ? I mean, if the king is dead, everyone will claim that he takes the throne

Loki: That's a good question. Shall we kill him, too?

Black, no, not now, at least, don't worry about it. I already forged a will for my brother, demanding that I be the king if something happened to him. And as we planned the matter of killing the king and the ministers, we will accuse the leader of the rebels, that's why I brought him to the palace Then we'll say he ran away

Loki: Damn, I'm glad I'm on your side. If we were enemies, my situation would be very bad now. The others laughed.

Black: Go away now, and let everyone remember that there is no room for mistakes, you understand.

Everyone bowed With all due respect, leave, except for Loki

Loki: They treat you like royalty from now . Fear works miracles. Didn't some of them want to kill you a few years ago?

Black: I'll get rid of them as soon as they're done.

Loki sighed: It's going to be a very long night, man

Black: Stop whining and go take care of the attack on the palace.

Loki: I'm going, then he bowed and said, Your Highness, and wanted to leave, but he stopped, saying, "Won't you change your mind about killing Melissa's father?"

Black turned his head back, eyes closed, no room for pity now, Loki do everything I asked of you without discussion. Loki smiled sadly and then left

Melissa was sitting in her room reading a book when she heard strange sounds downstairs. She let go of the book in astonishment, then got up wearing a scarf over her long white nightgown. She wanted to go out, but the door was locked from the outside. What is this? She tried over and over again to open the door, but it was useless. She began to feel nervous with the increase in strange voices. Damn what is this? Let one of you open the door, father, mother, Kitty, where are you, someone please open the door.

Kitty was hiding under the kitchen table, trembling with fear. She just saw everyone in the castle being killed by masked people. Melissa's mother's blood was covering her hand. All she wanted to do was run to Melissa's room and warn her before she was killed too.

She put her hand on her mouth when she heard the sounds of feet in the kitchen, her whole body was shaking and her tears were falling like rain, and only when she thought that she had escaped and the sounds of feet were far away from her, someone pulled her by force, holding her from her neck. She tried to scream, but she could not. This is the end, she will die now, and while she was about to pass out, she heard that sound.

Leave her and get out of here, our work is done. Kitty opened her eyes, trying to see who this is. She opened her eyes in shock when she saw Loki standing behind the person who was strangling her. Loki's hands were covered in blood while his face was expressionless. But the orders were not to let anyone live. This is what the man holding her said, refusing to let go.

Loki: I know what the orders were, you i***t, and now let the girl go and get out of my face before I take your heart out of its place. Loki's tone was murderous, so the man let go of Kitty and withdrew quietly. Kitty fell to the ground, trying to breathe.

Loki stared at her sadly and moved towards her.

Loki: Are you okay? Then he sighed feeling guilty. I'm sorry I had to come early. Kitty raised her head to him, and sparks flew from her eyes

Kitty: You killed everyone. The servants. Melissa's family What is going on are you crazy.

Loki: You'll understand later, now go sit with Melissa, and I'll come take you out when it's over He wanted to grab her to get her up, but she forcefully pulled her hand away

Kitty: It's the devil, then I laughed, he must be responsible for this. Oh my God, Melissa will lose her mind if she finds out

I thought you cared about her

Loki: I do, so I came to make sure you both are safe, and now get up before someone comes Then he grabbed her with a strong reprieve from her.

Kitty: Leave me, murderer, leave me, that's what she shouted as he walked her to Melissa's room

Loki arrived in the room and left her to open the door.

Shut up before I change my mind and let them kill you or worse. A servant with a body like yours and a smile would have other benefits.

Kitty slapped him with all her might. You make me sick .

Loki laughed: Oh, and you have no idea how much I'll enjoy punishing you for that later, that's what he said before pushing her into the room and closing the door.

When the door opened and Kitty entered, Melissa jumped from her seat with ghastly fear Unwilling to ask her what was going on, Melissa swallowed in.

blood covering Kitty's hands and tears falling from her eyes.

Melissa: This blood and screaming is down there and she puts her hand to her mouth, towering.

Kitty: Everyone was killed, blood everywhere, and then she broke down crying. Melissa's mind was blank. She didn't know what to think, but her heart was squeezing in pain.

Melissa: What do you mean everyone was killed where is my mom and dad?

Kitty continued to cry and did not answer her.

Melissa shouted at her, I told you where my mom and dad are, and she grabbed her by her shoulders

Kitty: The lady was killed. Melissa's blood froze and she fell to the ground in shock. I couldn't protect her, Melissa. They killed her in front of my eyes and she kept crying.

Melissa kept trying to comprehend what she heard, she no longer felt anything, and my father, where is my father

Kitty: He was not in the castle. He left before the attack. He said he was going to the palace to tell the king something important. Melissa swallowed in and then got up with trembling feet.

Melissa: I have to go to the palace, I have to find my father and Black, I have to check on Black, he may be in danger as well, then she tried to get out. Damn the door is locked what is going on why is the door locked . someone please open this damned door Melissa started screaming madly

Kitty: That monster is the reason for all this. Everything that happened was by his command. Melissa's heart stopped for a minute when she heard this and turned to Kitty. What do you mean, what monster?

Kitty: Blackwell is the one who ordered this and he must kill your father too Melissa stared at her for a while and then laughed like crazy what nonsense Kitty let's open this f*****g door come on stop talking nonsense and help me some way Melissa knew Kitty was honest but if she had confessed she would have been hurt Madly she kept banging on the door trying to break it

Kitty: Loki was here and he saved me. He said it was all on Blackwell's orders

Melissa stopped moving he's lying and now help me open this door

Kitty: It's him Melissa, no matter how much you deny it, he did it.

Melissa yelled at her, "Just because he killed your father doesn't mean he would do this to me, so stop telling lies."

Melissa's body was burning with anger

Kitty: You know it's him, that's why you're so angry

Melissa gritted her teeth in anger, when she noticed the window, she rushed towards it. She broke the glass with her hand, then pulled the bed covers to make a rope to help her get down.

Kitty: Please, Melissa, stay here. We don't know what's going on outside. Then she tried to grab her, but Melissa pulled her hand away.

Melissa: I'm going to prove you wrong I have to go to the palace I have to know what's going on and she looked at Kitty and said. stay here don't go out no matter what happens Then she got out of the window she hurried to ride her horse and headed to the palace

Everything in her was fighting what her mind was saying. Her eyes were red, but devoid of tears, and all her lips said was . lies lies

Black was sitting in the throne room with a cup of drink in his hand and his brother's body lying in front of him in a pool of blood. Black continued to stare at his brother's corpse with a rigid smile on his lips.

Loki entered, waving his hair wearily

Loki: I can't believe it's over, then he pay attention to the corpse in front of Black Ooh, and he sighed, you know, he looks more handsome like this, I never loved him while he was alive .

Black: He begged me like a woman not to kill him. How can a person like him be a king? I can't believe my father favored him over me.

Loki: So how do you feel now? You've been dreaming of killing him since childhood.

Black: I told him about it before I killed him. I told him that I killed our father, and that I also killed his mother, w***e. Poor guy, he didn't believe it. He kept asking me why I'm doing this. Do you know what I answered?

Loki: What did you answer?

Black: Simply because I wanted to, then he sigh, clean the place and make sure to kill his prostitute wife so as not to cause any problems

Loki: Well, I will announce the death of the king shortly at the hands of the rebels, but before that. The guards caught the prime minister while he was trying to enter the palace. I think he wanted to warn him about you.

Black laughed: Today is my lucky day, everyone I want to the dead are in front of me, make them bring him in to have fun a little. Killing my brother upset my mood

Loki: Well, but just so you know, I had nothing to do with his death, I don't want Melissa to be mad at me.

Black smiled, just bring him in , you coward.

Melissa arrived at the palace, the gate was closed, and there was no sign of the guard. She got off her horse and walked towards the door. She was barefoot and still in her nightgown. She kept her scattered hair away from her face.

She was trying to calm herself That everything will be fine She struggled to stop her body trembling, looked around, and then remembered that there was a secret gate leading to the palace that she used to meet Black when they were little. She ran towards it and entered the palace. The place was quiet and smelled of blood. She put her hand around her face to calm down and continued walking. If her father had come to the palace, He must have gone to the throne room to meet the king, and she may find Black there as well. How much she wanted to throw herself in his lap and cry. She was very afraid . her mother and everyone had been killed.

Black stood in front of Melissa's father, who was kneeling on the ground in front of him .

Loki smiled: It's your lucky day, isn't it, King Black?

Black: What do you think I will do to you now, Minister? How do you want me to kill you?

"Cut off my head or hang me, do whatever you want, but do you think that what I did will make you king and laugh you will remain a bastard for the rest of your life, your blood will remain as dirty as your mother, that human w***e"

Black maintained his smile

Loki: You really shouldn't have said that, Minister

Blake: You always looked at me like a bug. I remember the disgusting looks you used to give me, especially when I was around Melissa.

"Don't pronounce my daughter's name on your tongue, you bastard, you're not even fit to be dust under her feet."

Black stared at him for a while, then said, "I think I knew how to kill you." That's when Melissa walked in

Loki: Damn, things are going to get really bad.

Melissa stared at the body of King Elijah lying on the ground, then looked at Black and her father. Her heart was beating very quickly. Black's features were different for her. His expressionless eyes were blank as he stared at her with a rigidity she swallowed in trying to make her voice out .

Melissa: Dad, Blake, what is happening here, and why King Elijah is laying like this, no one answered her, even her father did not look at her, so she turned to Loki.

Loki got up walking towards her, his features were sad and his eyes were full of guilt, he held her hand gently

Loki: Melissa, King Blackwell has important business with your father, let's leave them alone for a bit. Melissa looked at him strangely, pulling her hand away from his.

Melissa: King Blackwell, and I looked at Black for a long time, and then she gasped, as if someone had stabbed her heart. No, no, no, please, Black, tell me you didn't kill your brother. Her eyes were pleading for him and her mind was about to explode

Black smiled: I did not kill him, as you can see. Your father here revolted against my brother. He cooperated with the rebels and killed our king and all his supporters.

"You bastard, you want to blame me, no one will believe you , everyone knows what a monster you are."

Black: Looking at Melissa, who looked on the verge of madness. Maybe no one would believe me, but who cares. Who doesn't believe dies.

The room started spinning. Melissa couldn't believe this was really Black

Black: It's time for you to grow up Melissa. It's time to see the world for what it really is

Her father shouted at him, "Don't talk to my daughter, you bastard." Then he got up to attack him, but Black grabbed him by the neck easily, strangling him.

Melissa shouted: Dad and wanted to run towards them, but Loki grabbed her by the waist, preventing her.

What are you doing, Loki, leave me, let me go, and she kept screaming, trying to escape from his hands. Black, tell him to leave me. My father's misunderstood, it is impossible for him to kill the king. Please, let's talk

Black: As he presses her father's neck, beg me, and I will pardon you.

Melissa's father smiled proudly, "I'd rather die than beg for someone like you, tainted blood."

Black: As you wish, and look at Melissa, don't take it personal, because I never loved your father

Melissa gasped, knowing the meaning of his looks, she screamed and her heart was torn apart. She hit Loki with her foot to get away and ran towards her father, but Black was faster than her, and as soon as she got close, he took out her father's heart with his hand She froze in place and then fell to the ground in front of her father's body

Blackness and gloomy darkness dominated all her senses as she looked at her father's heart, which was in Black's hands. She looked at Black's face, which was devoid of any expressions.

Black smiled at her face: I always wanted to do this.

Melissa turned to her father's corpse and stretched her hand over her heart and squeezed it, wanting to get it out of its place until she stuck her fingers into her skin. She did not feel herself except when Blake hit her with a palm on her cheek to make her faint and drown in the sea of darkness

Blake turned to Loki, "Take her to my room."

Loki: When will this damn night end?
