Dana’s POV:
I could feel the anger boiling up inside me as I set my eyes on Austin.After all, he was the one who slayed the former king.
Our brave and battle-wise king! Even in the face of danger, he would never cower in fear! Who would have thought that such a valiant ruler would eventually die at the hands
of his own son? The former king was a fool to attach great importance to a man like Austin, who would do anything to attain power.
My hands itched to reach for his throat and strangle him in the name of our former king!
“Dana, I know you’re not happy because you wasn’t awarded, but it’s not too late yet.Perhaps, I can throw you a party to celebrate your safe return?”
Austin hid behind the guards and forced a smile.
How dare he make fun of me like that? Even before he took the throne, he was a spineless blow-hard who never made any contribution to the development of this kingdom.
“What the hell are you talking about? You’re a shameless traitor! A sinner who betrayed the country! Stop pretending like you care about anything other than yourself! You
make me sick!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI charged at him, grunting as I couldn’t contain my anger.
“Dana, calm down!”
Gary held my arm and stopped me.
“What did you just say to me?”
Austin’s face flushed red in an instant.
His face contorted in anger as he pointed his finger at me.
“You should be mindful of how you speak to the king, unless you have a death wish.How dare you disrespect me?”
I scoffed and shook my head at him.
Taking the interest of the whole situation, I decided that it would be a waste of my time to continue arguing with him.
“He called our king a traitor…”
“I thought Dana died a long time ago.There must be something fishy going on in here.”
The elders whispered to each other.
“Guards, arrest the both of them and put them in jail.I want to interrogate them myself!”
Austin’s face turned livid.
Gary! Dana! You don’t have to worry about anything.Just tell the truth!
‘’No!’’
I couldn’t let this happen.
I could see the elders looking at me suspiciously when I looked around.
However, there was nothing I could do but stand and endure this moment.
“After we escaped from the battlefield, we tried to come back to warn everyone of Austin’s crime, but he sent his men to hunt us down like wild animals.He wanted to hide the
fact that he had killed his father from everyone.”
Gary looked at me with disdain.
“Fortunately, God gave us the strength to keep fighting, so that we could tell you the truth! It’s time for you to pay for what you have done, Austin! You have no right to be
sitting on that throne!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI started to sweat profusely as I got more and more flustered.
I could feel the hateful eyes of the other people upon me as they whispered amongst themselves.
I heard someone from the crowd accuse me for killing my father and usurping the throne.
No, I couldn’t let things go on like this.
“You have made a lot of baseless claims here, but do you actually have any evidence to support these lies?”
I sneered at Anthony as I didn’t think they would have any evidence.
Even if they had seen my kill my father, so what? There were no photos or recordings that could prove that I was the one who killed him.
“As the last two survivors of that war, Dana and Gary are the only witnesses we need.” Anthony was very calm.
He didn’t even look at me as he spoke.
