Pythier Scwazen Academy: The Powerful Princess

Chapter 52

There were bloods in my hands and on my father’s back! The surroundings are getting dark and the atmosphere is getting eerier. The blood seem to constantly flow out of my father’s back! I wanted to step away but he is in my arms now, I couldn’t simply step back. Then he rapidly fell down in my arms banging on the floor, even without moving. My heart skipped a beat and I am just horrified with what I am witnessing right now. As I cry because of fear and confusion, at least a hundred people showed up around us and they were holding pitchforks with fire on them. They started to mumble words saying phrases like, ‘what have you done?!’, ‘how could you do this?’, ‘you killed him!’ and other words that seems to be putting all the blame on me. I am so confused and scared. I denied everything they were saying then as I look to my hands, I was holding a long knife covered in blood! That was out of nowhere and I couldn’t even think of how could that even happen?? I never killed anyone, I would never, ever kill anyone, let alone, my father whom I truly love and treasure. Everything intensifies even more, and the people were approaching at me very very closely with their distorted faces zooming out for me to see clearer and closer. I couldn’t handle it and I just started to scream. I let it all out until I opened my eyes and saw that it was all a dream. It was a scary and very eerie dream. My eyes were watering as soon as I woke up. It was very late in the night and I have awaken from a nightmare. I am so glad it wasn’t real but I am afraid that it entails something bad along the way. It involves my father and I hate that thought. I have to convince myself that it’s just a dream and it means nothing, before I can actually go back to sleep.

Just to be sure, I would send guards to my dad’s shipping deck extra early tomorrow so they could make sure that he will arrive safely. Once he gets here, I would guard him and mother with all my life while thinking of a plan. And I have to think as soon as possible.

~~~~~~~~~~

It is the next day already and I barely slept last night after the nightmare I had. I still forced myself to wake up extra early so I could send the guards immediately.

After few hours, they arrived in the castle and I am so glad that my father is well and safe. I hugged him tightly and he did the same. He seems like he could use some sleep and a proper rest for he looks so tired and burnt out. And I can feel that he is hot.

“Oh, father, are you sick? Your burning all over. Come quickly inside and rest for awhile.” I said to him. I ushered him to his room and assisted him to bed. He is coughing loudly every now and then which worries me.

After taking care of him, I am deeply thinking of a plan to expose the Creagan empire so that history won’t repeat themselves with other kingdoms that are out there. I have decided not to tell my father yet because it might add up to his worries and own battles. He doesn’t really open to us but I think he is amidst a crisis we don’t know of right now. So, my plan of telling him about all this isn’t a helpful thing to do.

Dinner came and I decided to bring my mother and father some food myself. I want to take care of them as much as I can. I am headed to the kitchen to tell the servants that I would and one servant approached me and gave me a cloak and a mask randomly.

“Princess, your father knows that you are headed to their room and he has ordered you to wear these. He said that he is still unsure of what his illness is and it might be contagious; he is just taking precaution. On the other hand, your mother went to the garden perhaps to breathe some fresh air.”

“Uhm… alright, thank you very much.” I said to her. I then wore the cloak and mask before getting the tray of food for my father. As I enter their room, I placed the tray on the side table and tried waking my father who is sleeping. I’ve been waking him for awhile now and he’s not budging and my guts are telling me that something is wrong. Then, I noticed that there seem to be blood spreading underneath my father’s body, so I lifted and removed the thick blanket that’s covering his body from his neck to his feet. I am deeply horrified with what I saw! My father is losing a lot of blood and I checked if he is still breathing and I am afraid that he’s not. I am panicking right now. I tried my healing powers on him but it didn’t worked. That means only one thing; he’s gone for real. Healing powers cannot revive another life, at least that is for me and it sucks right now. I just broke down and cry my eyes out. Who could do such thing to my father and how?? I kept trying my magic on him, doing whatever I can and nothing is working. My hands are covered in my father’s blood right now and I am scared. I then decided to get some help from others and as I was about to leave the room, servants came barging in and one of them looks scared and is pointing at me with her shaking hands.

“That’s the one! That’s the one who killed the king! I saw it with my two eyes and I cannot lie! He threatened me as well and I just managed to get out!” Guards came from behind holding my hands like I am some killer.
