Melanie POV
I was still in a tight embrace with the king, when the empress walk in with a male guard beside her.
"What is the meaning of this "the king shouted
"My king you need to hear this "
"What's the matter"the king asked.
"This guard has something to tell you "
"And what is so important, that he has to interrupt me at this time.
"My king, this is really important, just hear him out ".
"Speak up ".the king commanded.
"My king, the child isn't yours, but mine ".
The king stood up from the bed and walk towards the guard.
"What did you say "he shouted in anger
"The child isn't yours but mine, my king". The guard replied in a trembling voice.
With all the strength in me, I quickly stood up from the bed and walk towards to guard
"How is that possible ". I asked
"While you were drunk that night with the king, you left his room drunk and walk into my room.I asked why you were in my room, but you just laugh and started undressing yourself.
"You are lying "I shouted
"I'm not lying, I never wanted to do it, but you seduced me in your drunk state.
I look at the king and noticed he was showing no emotion on his face.
"Why did you keep quiet, all this while, "the king shouted with anger.
Immediately the guard fell down on the floor with his head bow down
"I was scared my king, and wasn't sure if you haven't laid with her .if you haven't laid with her then surely this child is mine "
On hearing what he said I collapsed on the floor and started crying.
"My king do you remember laying with her that night ", the empress asked
The king was quiet for a moment.I think he was trying his possible best to remember laying with me that night .he walked up to me and stood before me.
"I have no memory of laying with you that night "
"But I woke up on your bed "I replied the king
"You left after we finish having s*x "the guard replied me.
"Why can't I have any memory of you, "I shouted at the guard. Something in me tells me he was lying .but I couldn't prove him wrong
"Maybe it's because you prefer not to have any memory of him ". The king whispered.
"That's not true my king "
The king angrily stood up and left the room. the empress gave me a wicked smile before leaving with the emperor.
The guard sat beside me and look way
"Why do I feel like you are lying to us "
"I'm not lying, you are just disappointed that your child isn't the king's son.
"You should be jailed for taking advantage of a drunk maiden"
"Stop this drama "he shouted
"Who paid you "
"What do you mean, "he asked
"You can fool everyone, but you can't fool me. I might not have my memory of that night, but I'm sure I never saw you that night "so I ask again who paid you to destroy my life.
Melanie POV
"We should think of a way to handle this, instead of you accusing me wrongly
"You are lying"I shouted
"You have to accept the truth, you can no longer be a queen neither can your child be a prince.
"My child and not your child?" I asked
He was quiet for a moment before standing up.
"I will be in the guards quarters until the king make his decision on us "
"Get out "I shouted
He left the room and I broke down in tears. I was still in tears when I noticed soli walk in with my baby.
"The king cancelled the celebration"
"I know". I mumured
What's the matter "she asked
"Someone wants to ruin my life "
"What are you saying"she asked.
I explained everything with tears in my eyes.
"Did you say you never got any memory of him"?she asked
"He is lying, and I know it but can't prove it ".
"Has the king made any decision yet".she asked
"I think I will be leaving very soon ". I mumured
Soli gave me a pity look before she left the room.later that day, queen Kalika came to my room.
"Very soon you and this bastard here, will leave this palace
"My child isn't a bastard"
Then tell us who the father is then "she asked cockily.
I lost my voice and couldn't reply her back
"You think you can just be a queen above us,"I will never let that happen "
"So it was you "I shouted
"You have more enemies than you think "
"What did I ever do to you "I shouted
"Getting pregnant was your first crime".
With that, she left the room.
I was still in thought when a guard walk in.
"The king demand your presence now"
I quickly stood up and followed him.
When I got to the king's chambers, I saw him standing beside the window.
"Leave us "he commanded
I felt fear all over my body and couldn't stand Anymore, so I collapsed on the floor besides the door.
"You knew I wasn't the father ".his voice was full of so much anger that I couldn't look at his face
"Answer me"he shouted
"I'm confused ". I whispered
"I kept asking myself why I couldn't remember having s*x with you, I thought maybe it was because I was too drunk .but I never knew nothing like that ever happened"
"You are the father of my child "I spoke with tears
"Then why can't I remember anything "he shouted.
I was quiet and couldn't talk anymore.
"By tomorrow you are out of this palace, you the guard and your child "
"Please emperor, don't do this "I pleaded
"You should be lucky I decided not to punish you, but don't taste my patience"
"This baby is yours. please don't do this "I pleaded.
"Get out, before I hurt you "
On hearing that I quickly stood up and left his Chambers.
I got to my room and saw soli there holding my baby .she gave me a weak smile before handing the baby over to me
"What was the king's decision
"He asked me out of the palace, I should be gone by tomorrow ".
"Do you have anywhere to go "she asked
"I think so"
"Then you should start packing"
We were packing my things when the guard walk in.
"Will you follow me to my hometown, or you have sowhere to go "he asked
"Stay away from me, you've gotten what you wanted"
"I'm leaving for my hometown by tomorrow, it's either you follow me or we go our separate ways"
I gave him a disgusting look.
"Very well then, I will see you around".with that, he left the room.
