I stumbled walking towards my bed.
The soft silk fabric was no less than a hard stone for me. I gritted my teeth.
How?? Did the damn god really gave that bastard entry to this empire?? The empire that I build with my sweat and blood. I knew that if this empire troubled me, he wouldn't give a shit about it and destroy this empire mercilessly.
After all he loves me. Right, that love that he speaks of is mere form of obsession and lust. That he can't describe. I sighed. The exhaustion filled the air and I drifted into deep sleep.
The dreams I get was no less horror. The reminders of the pleasant time with him are the only thing that is my dream. But. This is unpleasant. Merely seeing his face is a nightmare for me. For today. I can't take what happen today. I don't think I can handle it. I know I am no different from him. But the fact that is different between us is. I can hide it. The lust, the obsession and the possessiveness that I feel towards him. Even if he doesn't speak about these. It is clear like glass that he is Lusting after me. Anyone could tell it. The way he looks at me.
Before I knew a hand shook me awake. Justin woke me up saying
"Your majesty, good morning. An urgent matter has appeared."
So, it is morning. I took the paper from his hand and took a look. The news paper's head line "Duchess Ruby was found died beside Duke William; A murder"
The article was not so surprising but still something was wrong in it.
"Did Duke Ruby and Duchess William find out about the affair?" I asked.
Justin shook his head saying
"No, your majesty; It seems that Duke ruby and Duchess William doesn't know anything. The bodies were found in woods of Blackwell."
"Woods of Blackwell? It is a in border of the Releck empire?? It is not part of our empire."
I spoke. Justin nodded and said
"The public thinks that the one who did this murder was the legend, Blue crow."
"Blue crow?" I asked.
Justin's face took a dark turn as he added
"Blue crow a legend murderer in eyes of the public. Catching him is impossible. But the truth is, he is one of our knights who did murders under your command, your majesty."
I knew that there are certain knights who perform dirty work under my command. But… just as I was analysing Justin added
"The knight playing blue crow died and we took another knight with other name for the work. But, someone"
"Someone is using that name to commit murder."
I said, completing his sentence. Justin nodded.
We were going to discuss further when. Edward came. He was professional as ever.
He greeted me and then with out wasting my time said
"Your majesty, you have a visitor."
Hearing the word visitor someone came to my mind. I joined the dots.
"So," I said
"It is him? Huh?"
