Semua Bab The Promised Luna: Bab 71 - Bab 80

AYLAI tried to pull myself out of the metallic cuffs as the guards tried to drag me out of the room.The Queen's smile increased. She didn't say a word, but there was a high level of mockery written all over her father. “Slade, please there is a lot you don't know,” I cried out. You have a sister!” I yelled, he stopped the guards, and I sighed.“What are you talking about?” He asked, and Queen Lyra stood up, she was no longer smiling.“It's Ivy, she is your sister, and she was almost used in hurting you,” I said, he looks at me then at his mother who nodded.“You really expect me to believe that,” he said, suddenly. “The person who tried to kill me is a long lost sister I know nothing of,” he said, angrily.“I have no reason to lie to you,” I said to him.“You have a lot of reasons to lie,” he said. “To try and save your own skin, especially when you found out my mother was on to you.”“On to me, I don't understand,” I said, looking confused. Suddenly Maria appeared in the room. It

SLADE“That's enough for now,” I said to Silvia.“Hopefully I won't be doing it next time,” she said with a smirk on her lips. I didn't need to ask what she meant by that, but I'm not going to indulge her.“Where are you going?” Damon asked me. “To speak with my supposed sister,” I said, Silvia helped me put on my royal garment, and the three of us walked out of my chambers.“Get Riven,” I said to Damon. “I want him to sit in on the interrogation. He might have some insight.”Damon nodded and left quickly to get Riven.Silvia stayed by my side as we walked through the long hallway. My steps were heavy, but I didn’t let the pain slow me down. I couldn’t show weakness, not now.Guards bowed as I passed, but I barely noticed them. My mind was racing.Ivy.If what Ayla said was true... then everything I knew about my family was a lie.“Are you sure you’re ready for this?” Silvia asked softly.“No,” I answered. “But I can’t wait anymore.”When we reached the small tower room where Ivy was

SLADEI kept on pacing around the medical room wondering when Ayla will be brought to us. What if she subdued the guards, and escaped. I should have gone myself to get her.I looked at Damon, I could hear his breathing. It sounded shallow, not the one of five men he used to have. “She will come,” I heard Silvia say.“I hope you are right….” My words left my mouth as I started to hear her heartbeat. Not Silvia's heartbeat but Ayla's.It was clear she was anxious to see me but she was calm, unfear like she was prepared for this moment. She is thinking multiple thoughts at once that I couldn't pick which one is about me.“Smart girl,” I said with a smirk, and the doors opened. I heard her exhale deeply, and then she walked in.Everything, and everyone stood still as she walked in. Something about her radiated light. She didn't look like she had been in the tombs for weeks, instead she looked more beautiful than she ever was. I walked towards her, trying to be sure I'm seeing what I wan

AYLAWe broke free from our kiss, and I looked at him with fear, and dread in my eyes. The last time he went out into battle, he returned with an arrow in his neck. But I can save him, I know that. But that doesn't mean I want to see him hurt. Slade let go of my hands, and headed out to face his Soldiers.“We are under attack,” he said after a while of silence. “Why we are under attack is unknown to us, but we do know those attacking us don't want us to live,” he said with so much authority.“But we will live, and we will prosper, and be victorious,” he raised his weapon, and the Soldiers did the same.“So go out, and fight. Listen to your commanders, take as many prisoners as you can. And fight for Mercia!”“For Mercia!” The Soldiers yelled, and all rushed out.I watched from the shadows of the weapon room as Slade walked out with strength in his steps and fire in his eyes.His speech had stirred something deep in the hearts of the soldiers—hope, courage, loyalty.But in me, it st

AYLAI felt myself swinging in different directions, but I still stayed in the same position. It felt like my body was not moving, but also moving at the same time.My head rose up, from being buried in my laps, and I could feel the splash of water all over my face.“Wake up!” I heard, along with a bucket dropping behind me.I blinked as the cold water dripped down my face. My vision was blurry. My head was pounding. My body felt weak.“Where am I?” I asked again, this time louder.“Quiet,” the voice snapped.I tried to move, but the ropes were too tight. My arms were tied behind my back, and my legs were strapped to the legs of the chair. I could feel the wooden frame digging into my skin.The room smelled like mold and something rotten. It was cold. The floor beneath my feet was rough, like stone. A dim light hung above me, swinging slowly like I was deep underground.I took a deep breath and tried to stay calm. I needed to think. I couldn’t panic.Footsteps echoed around the room.
