THE CHASE OF DESTINY AND THE SPEAR OF CURSE
CH 2
=_==_==_==_==_==_==_==_==_==_==_==_==_==_==_==_==_==
The royal court was filled with chatter and whispers of the commoners who had just stepped foot inside. Some well - known nobles and the ritheous subjects of their empire were seated as well. It was time that the reason for their summon will be brought to light soon enough.
*Clank*... *Clank*...
The inhuman sized double door swung open and the sound of metal clanking resonated against the creamy white and wide walls of the court. The sudden intrudence catch the attention of the commoners and forced them to stop their chatter and focus on the new arrival.
To everyone's surprise, it happened to be a maid, judging from her outfit. She was claded in heavy metal chains that hung around her feet and hands while her head hung low, her face shadowed under her tangled and messy hair. The chains were held by an aloof looking knight, who took long strides towards a high platform that was situated in the room. A throne sat on the centre of that platform. It looked nothing special but everyone present there knew the power that it and the person that sat on it held.
He stood in the middle of the court and yanked the chains forward, forcing the woman to land on her kneels with a slight wince. He and the rest of the occupants of the court room ,too, then instinctively bowed their heads in respect for a new arrival.
From the curtains behind the throne, a pale hand emerged forward to set the curtains aside revealing rigid but sharp violet eyes that pierced right through the kneeling woman beside the knight who made an eye contact with them. Feeling that indifferent gaze at her, a shiver ran down her spine. She felt like a prey in the beasts hold and started trembling like a leaf.
The figure strides forward into the light, more closer to the platform, revealing long and lustrous violet hair with a dark blue sheen, body hugged by dark robes that complimented the pale skin. The most intriguing part of the face being a mole near the left lower eyelid. A simple but shiny necklace hung off a perfectly long pale neck. The straightened posture and the walk just screamed 'Power'.
Finally, the throne, that held so much power, was occupied by the one that held the will and determination to rule this empire.
The ruler of the Sol Empire, Regina Solon.
"Rise." Boomed the commanding voice of the Empress. Everyone rose from their positions and took their seats. The crowd of commoners were now silent. No one whispered a single word. Mainly, because they respected but feared the Empress and partly, because now that their summoner was here, the mystery of this miserable looking woman would be solved soon.
The said woman was frozen in her place, thinking where it all went wrong.
The knight, holding the chains, yanked them once more but in such a way that the pull revealed the woman's whole face that was covered by her hair.
A few surprised gasps were heard from the crowd. Seemingly, some of them recognised her and were wondering what her crime was for her to be treated this way?
" Your excellencey, as per your words, we found her in the exact place as you predicted." The knight,paying no heed to the gasps, started. " She was in the General's office,trying to run off with our military's valuable information."
Hearing this, now even some the nobles and the royal subjects frowned hard. Theft by an insignificant maid ? and that too from the General's office?
"But, even after all the misery we bestowed upon her..." the knight glanced at the still maid slightly. " She has not uttered a single hint that could lead us to the real culprit behind this all".
"Hm...of course, it is to be expected." The Empress's chin rested on the back of her wrist as she nonchalantly watched the maid wither slowly under her gaze.
"But, for how long would you hold on for ? "
The whole court room was suddenly draped in cold silence after hearing these dreadful words leave the Empress's mouth. The maid could feel cold sweat dripping down her face. Her heart beat rang in her ears with how fast and quick it was. She couldn't feel her knees anymore and she couldn't comprehend anything happening around her.
"You see, I summoned you all here so that you could witness this betrayer with your own eyes" this time these words were directed to the crowd of commoners and nobles sitting there.
" She should be punished! "
" yes! yes! "
They people were enraged to know that they lived and worked with a betrayer who was probably weaving plans for their ruin by working for the enemy.
"She will get what she deserves." The Empress added and signalled the knight to take the woman away. She looked as if she was about to pass out any moment with fear.
*Swishh!*
*Thud...*
