LIGHTNOVELWORLD Chapter 8: Royal palace 2
A big palace, in the center of the most bustling city with crowds but the long border around the palace keeping the bustling people out making inside the long wall serenity.
The whole Castle guarded with shining armor men holding stren face.
Yes....this is the royal palace, under the sky shining like a crystal
INSIDE THE PALACE
A big hall, ceiling so high that looking at top might crack my neck, a soft red velvet carpet adoring the shining white marble, a magnificent view.
This is the second time I am visiting the royal place. The first time was, when I was four years old so I don't remember much about that time, apart from a child tied with chains being dragged in front of a whole crowd making the people sneer at him.
It's a pretty bad memory
As I was lost in looking at the grandness of the hall suddenly the echoes of heavy steps brought me back to reality
As I looked up while securing my structure to that of a nobel lady, my eyes widens. A man in his forties standing beside the throne and coldly looking down at with a sharp gaze. Just by his clothes and the crown sitting on his head was enough to tell who he was.
Alexander D'Hara
His eyes were colder than ice as he was looking at me as if he wanted to intimidate me, I took a step back while bowing with one hand on my chest
"Greetings the sun of the empire"
As I bowed I heard no voice for a while, he didn't even ask me to raise. As I was getting tried from the pressure of the corset and now this, but suddenly I heard some footsteps as someone was walking down the stairs
"Why such absurd formalities" the man said with a cold voice, his tone licking with menace. He walk pass me and stand behind me "please"
Please?....I finally stand back and looked back to see see him holding his right hand out extending it towards me while his gaze was still that of a madman
I looked at his hand and knew well that making him wait wouldn't end in a good way for me, What the hell this old man is thinking about? I extended my one hand while holding my dress with another one. "It's all my pleasure"
He gently grasps my hand and started to walk.
After walking for few minutes I was completely lost where he was taking me but the big build that I was seeing from behind made it clear that I shouldn't ask any questions.
After a while he finally stopped outside a big door, I was taking long breaths to make my state stable as my feet started to throb in pain because of the new heels I was wearing, suddenly The king turn, giving me a cold glare over his shoulder.
I gulped and was just looking at him while trying to maintain my calm composure. he gave a glance to the soldiers who were guarding the big door which looked like was heavy door.
What could be inside this door that he has to take me here personally. Looking a the king the guards moves swiftly unlocking the door and pushing the heavy door open a bit.
They didn't open the gate fully, just enough for a one person to enter. I tilted my head a bit to see inside it but too my surprise there was nothing but loom darkness in that room.
Suddenly a nauseous smell come out like a thick air from inside the room, the king suddenly grabbed my neck putting it inside the half open door.
What???
I hastily grabbed his hand around my neck with both hands trying to free myself when I saw two golden eyes looking from the pitch darkness. It cannot be eyes of a human being since the eyeballs was big enough to that of a stone.
The eyes was staring at me ominously, my eyes widens in shock and fear as the thick smell of something like shit and some meet getting rotten for years made it hard for me to take another breath inside it. suddenly I felt a sharp pain in my forearm and a soud of water drop falling on the floor echoed in the dark room.
