Lilian's POV
" Lilian Dimitrish, you're under arrest "
He said firmly, pointing his sword towards my neck.
I'm terrified right now, I don't know what to say or do, what I even did to be in this situation?
" You're confused, right? I'll tell you why "
He said while sitting on his knees to look at me closely.
" My lord, the ground is dirty! "
Some of the guards said, Elias just gaze at him then looked back at me.
" Your dad, how much do you know about him? "
He asked me calmly, I'm still dizzy because he knocked me on the ground.
" My dad? , He is a blacksmith since I was born, I even helped him multiple times, he make swords and spears for your highness, he is loyal to you "
I said the truth, the king nods at first then laughs loudly.
" I heard that he is outside the kingdom right now, he travels abroad every Wednesday, and come back on Saturday "
I furrowed my eyebrows, indeed, dad doesn't come home from Wednesday to Saturday, but that is because he is sleeping at his shop.
" He also discovered new weapons that can shoot from far away, apart from bows, and I know about these weapons very well "
He continues to talk while patting at my hair.
" I don't get what you are talking about my lord "
I said then his smile faded.
" Your dad is working outside the kingdom pretty stupid Lilian, he hides the new weapons from me, making a lot of them, then selling them to foreign lands "
What!
" THAT'S NOT TRUE - "
" Shh, I hate loud voices "
He looked away from me then stood up, turned around that I see his back right now.
" You think I didn't know since day one? I went to that tavern for a purpose, to kill your beloved dad Dimitrish along with his family "
He said while his guards grabbed me from the ground, holding me tight.
" Let go !! "
I screamed then King Elias turned quickly to grab my chin.
" I heard the voice of his beautiful pathic daughter, and guess what! I decided to make her a slave to sing for me whenever I'm bored "
He said while smirking
Me, without knowing, spit on his dirty beautiful face.
" You're animal! You don't deserve to be alive! "
I said while watching his face fill with rage, before slapping me hard enough that I start to see clouds.
" You're staying at one of my dungeons today, you're going to love it so much I assure you, so next time you talk to me, you know your place "
I heard his voice from afar, my ears still ringing from that slap.
I couldn't even stand I feel that my body being dragged.
The king took his horse, and that was the last thing I saw.
.........................
after 8 hours
....
" What's that dirty smell? "
I woke up on a hard floor that hurts my back.
I couldn't see anything, just pure darkness.
" Am I blind? "
I tried to focus on seeing, acutely there's a faint light coming from outside, I tried to stand just to fall again.
" Ugh, I'm tied up to chains"
I touched the leg chains that were hurting me so much.
It's metal chains.
I touched the floor with my bare hands to find anything useful to free me.
But as I touched something I started to scream.
" IS THAT A PERSON ! "
I couldn't see well but someone with a candle is coming towards me.
Shit, I've to get out! They will kill me for no reason.
I rested my back on the wall, pretended to be asleep.
The lights were coming little by little, I took a peek at the thing I touched earlier.
And when I did that I started to vomit.
" Seems like you liked your dungeon "
It's a woman's dead body.
The king entered my dungeon as he put the candles on the ground.
His face was very dark and horrifying.
I'm definitely dead.
" Your competition in 6 hours, yet you're getting yourself trapped with Marcia "
He said calmly while patting the dead woman's head.
" W, Who is Marcia? "
My voice cracked as I started to shiver.
" It's my wife, or was, I don't remember "
He said while laughing, does he have a mental sickness !?
Wait, Am I still in the competition?
" It's already late, every woman knows about the competition but you, I thought I should tell you as well "
He said as he folded his legs together, doesn't care much about the dirty dungeon or the horrible smell.
" I'm not going to continue that dirty competition of yours, I, I quit, I give up, You can kill me if you want"
I won't be a part of his play anymore.
" It is not wise for you to say that, listen "
He said before he comes closer that made me stuck between him and the wall.
" You're going to continue, I enjoy your suffering so much, if you want to leave, that's easy, but I'll have to kill all of your family, friends, you would be locked here until you die "
As he whispered in front of my face with his faint voice I looked at dead Marcia.
" Yes, Like her, you're going to rot here "
He said sarcastically while acting like he is sad for me, furrowing his lips.
" My, my father, did, you "
As I stutter he put his lips on mine suddenly which almost choke me.
I was too weak to push him so I just tried to move my head to the other side.
" S, Stop! "
I just did vomit, is he crazy!
He moved away from a little then laughed.
" Do not worry, your father is far away from my reach right now, he is traveling again, but I can't promise you to be easy on him when he comes back "
I wish he doesn't come back then.
My stomach started to growl as for God knows, how much time I've been locked up here.
" Since you were sleeping all day, I bought you some stuff, You can see them here, or you can come with me since you've learned your lesson "
He said and starts to unlock my chains.
" I, I'll continue the competition "
I said as he clapped happily with his hands.
" That's my Lilian, it's better than dying here anyway, now try to Stand "
He said giving me his hand that I reached to get up.
I'm still dizzy, out of energy, have a dirty headache, but At the very least.
I'm alive.
" Since your dad is a spy for another country, I thought you're a spy as well because you charmed me with a dirty magic trick and stuff "
He is talking like a baby right now, I don't know why his mood suddenly swings like that.
" I didn't charm you, nor I'm a spy or my dad is a one, you will see, You're imagining stuff "
I said out of patience, that he laughed again taking me by my hands to get out of the dungeons.
As we walk, I saw, many, MANY, people are locked up here.
Some are starving,
Some are already dead.
I don't know if I should feel any special by getting out of here, getting the king's sympathy if he had any.
But I'm alive.
...........................
" Here, that's my room "
I could see that because of the guards in front of the large door.
" Umm, wh, why I'm staying at your room, my lord "
But I was extremely confused.
" I need to watch you closely, make sure that you're not a spy or going to runaway "
He said opening the door for me.
" Okay? "
I said while entering his room, cuddling my arms as I didn't know how cold I was when I entered this warm room?
I saw two maids entering the room as well.
One with a large pucket full of hot water.
And one with many clothes.
" They will help you get showering, dress you up to the next day "
He calmly said while sitting on a chair reading a book.
" Here Miss "
One of the maids told me, the other opened a door that was the bathroom's door, putting the hot water inside the tub.
" I can shower by myself, thanks"
I said while entering the bathroom telling them to get out.
" As you wish Miss Lilian "
The maids said bowing a little.
As I watched them leaving I started to relax a bit.
Removing my dirty clothes, As I decided to take a sniff then I regretted it.
" Ugh, that horrible smell, how Did he even kiss me? "
As I removed my outfit completely, I placed my legs inside the tub and closed my eyes from the heavenly feeling I'm having right now.
" Oh my, god, that's is so relaxing "
I was moaning from pain all over my shoulders and legs.
My stomach was growling that I patted on.
" I'm going to feed you, baby, I'll feed you then we'll go to the competition, I'll win no matter what. "
I said then I opened my eyes, I felt a sudden gaze, that I decided to look up, just to shout.
The king.
The king was looking at me from above.
He is here!
Looking at me!
