Sharon held her cheek in shock, Had it been the Emperor wasn’t here she’d have returned the slap in million fold, Sharon frozed her volcano,she only glared at Gwen who gave her another slap on the other cheek which got Lorenzo chuckling.
Just then a guard walked in,
“Your majesty a masked guy is helping Leopard to escape and he’s too powerful we can’t get them, we need ya help”The guard rushed his words, Lorenzo disappeared instantly.
Gwen was about to walk out but Sharon grabs her wrist and made to slap her but Gwen caught it in the air and slap her instead, Tears escaped Sharon’s eyes…Her cheek were on fire.
“Known your place Sharon or i’ll have to plant some sense in you, Maybe the saying is right…Common sense ain’t common”Gwen mocked before walking out, Sharon stood there glaring at her retreating figure, She clench her fist angrily.
“Hurry!” The masked guy yelled as he ran with Leopard who was really slow due to weakness and the guards were chasing them are gaining.
The masked guy turned back as he did a finger Formation, Two swords appeared in his hands, he swayed them in the air, A wind razor went for the guards but instantly Lorenzo appeared the wind razor retrieved and went back for the masked guy who skillfully dodges, Leopard was hiding in a corner
“Who are you?” Lorenzo asked, The masked guy only mumbled something as he disappeared with Leopard, Lorenzo only curses angrily…
Rome walked out of his suite stretching tiredly, A hand grab him behind dragging him to a corner, Before he could realize someone’s lips meet his, He looked to see- Irish.
He only push her off, As he felt the urge to throw up which he eventually did.
“It worked!!”Lyssa exclaimed coming out of her hiding with Fionn, Who was smiling.
“What’s happening”Alana asked joining the scene, All eyes turned to her as she made to hug Rome but he push her violently which made her on her butt.
“Rome? what’s wrong”Alana asked.
“I’ll tell you, Rome has broken free, You gave him a love potion which made him fall in love with you but I spoilt it all using Irish his very own true love, Rome’s back to his normal senses Alana”Lyssa said in detail, Fionn only chuckles.
Rome and Irish stared at each other, their emotions clashing.
Alana only glares at Lyssa before she bursted into laughter which shocked everyone, She slowly stood to her feet as she walked and stops right in front of Rome, with a smirk she said.
“Too bad there’s nothing you can do I’m pregnant for you Rome” She dropped the bombshell with a loud laughter.
“You’re lying?, It’s impossible!”Lyssa argued but Alana ignored her, Rome suddenly runs away.
“Rome!”Irish calls running after him.
Alana faces Lyssa and Fionn.
“There’s nothing you both can do to stop me, I must execute my plans…Try to interfere again and I’ll get you both out of my way” Alana said more like threat before walking away.
Lyssa and Fionn exchange glances.
~~~YE’S RESIDENT
Since Nyx has been living with the Ye’s she has been avoiding Homer, Like how’d she face him after all she had done to him, she suddenly wish she could backward time to right all her wrong.
Nyx was expressionless like her dad as she was taking a walk around the Big Resident, she froze when she saw Homer seating at a particular spot, she made to hide but she heard his voice.
“No need to hide, I’ve seen you” His deep voice came, He’s just 13 but his voice is deep like that of man and he’s also handsome.
“Ahh…Stop thinking nonsense Nyx you’re just 12” She caution her self as she went and sat beside me.
“So Queen Rhea is your mother”He asked.
“Yes she cheated on dad and now they’ve divorced, I don’t think I can go back to that palace”She said.
“You can stay here with us, Hope you’re enjoying ya stay here”Homer asked.
“Yes”.
“I’m sorry” She suddenly said.
“Sorry? For what?”He asked.
“I’ve wronged you right from the very first day we met…
“It’s okay you’ll always be my tails man”Homer teased and Nyx frowns which got him laughing.
“Rome!!”
Irish called but Rome kept running but she continues to chase after him but he suddenly miss a step as he falls on the floor, It was then that Irish realized that he was crying.
“Rome?” She called while joining him on the floor, with care in her eyes she cleans her tears and pulls Rome into a deep hug.
“I’m sorry Irish”Rome cried.
~~~HOLY FLOWERS INN & BROTHEL
Gwen adjusted her veil before she got down from the carriage, Royals aren’t expected to be seen in places like this or they’re doomed, Lorenzo will issue for Their execution.
Holy Flower Inn and brothel- The definition of this place is the opposite of its name more like Sinful Flowers.
Gwen adjusted her veil again before she walked into the Expensive building, The instrumentalist were busy playing their instrument as Some girls dressed in transparent robe danced at a particular spot.
Some girls were seen serving food to Men as they flirt with them, some people was making out openly.
Gwen was still surveying the place, Actually Jericho sent her a letter that they should meet her since it’ll be safe.
“Hey beauty”A man said behind her she only frowns before walking on, Just then she sighted Jericho.
She went and sat opposite him.
“I need your help Gwen”Jericho said seriously, Gwen paid attention.
“I need yours help in dethroning Lorenzo, I want to take the throne back and I need your help in Killing Lorenzo”Jericho stated as Gwen eyes widened Three times than normal, She palmed her mouth which was Open.
Unknown to them A pair dark eye ball was glaring daggers at them.
Episode 39 & 40 : ALANA’S DOOM
Gwen only stared at him, She knew that Jericho was the heir but why does she have this feeling that it’d be wrong to help him, Let alone help him kill the Emperor, No that’ll be the last thing she’d ever think of not to talk of doing it.
“Sharon?”
“I’ll think about it Jericho but don’t you think this is wrong” Gwen said, Jericho secretly clench his fist under the table.
“I just want what’s mine” Jericho said and Gwen nods but deep down she had this cranky feeling that all this is not right.
She stood up and walked out of the Inn, The pair of dark eye ball that’s glaring at them glared the more as the person walks away.
Jericho only heaved a sigh before he walked out heading to the backyard of the Inn, There he met Leopard staring into space, Actually Jericho was the one who freed him from the Dungeon.
“Hey thanks for saving me but what’s ya plan” Leopard said.
Jericho only ignores him facing a particular spot, Just then Basil appears dressed in usual black robe cloth.
“Wait! you’re working with him, I should’ve known… Thought I was the only bad guy here”Leopard said chuckling slightly.
Both ignored him, Basil faces Jericho.
“Have you told her?” Basil asked.
“Yes, I think she’ll help us carry out our plans”Jericho said.
Basil nods facing Leopard,
“You’re working with us right”Basil asked.
“Yeah not like I’ve a choice, Besides I want Lorenzo eliminated, I want him off the page” Leopard said and Basil chuckles.
“Our aims are all the same, We want Lorenzo eliminated too but first we must show the whole of Nataraj what he truly is”Basil said and Both Leopard and Jericho smiled.
~~~A Forest
Lorenzo appeared right in the middle of the thick forest, It was early in the evening, Since trees surrounded the forest it gave it a dark look yet one could see.
Lorenzo walks on, He arrived in front of a cave, he walked in and he met an Old Lady muttering sorts of incantations, From her dressing one could say she was a witch.
“Have you found how I can get rid of it” Lorenzo said and the woman only shakes her head negatively which made Lorenzo sigh.
“But if I may ask Your Majesty, How did the Cloud beast get in to you coz I remember a tale her in Nataraj that’s the Cloud Beast that Killed The Late Emperor and Empress, Does it means that you’re the one who killed them” The old lady asked and Lorenzo sigh again.
“Yes”.
“But I wasn’t in control, The Beast in me did it, But it wasn’t totally my fault the Late Emperor and Empress brought it upon themselves”.
•FLASHBACK~ 20 YEARS AGO
Little Lorenzo was roaming about the busy market, He was wearing a tattered robe and was looking so dirty but he didn’t care he was happy and had this wide smile on his face.
He’s a hustler just at the age of Five, He works really hard to fend for himself and his Grandma who’s not that old she’s 35, His parent are late.
He’s coming back from work and today he was paid handsomely, Why wouldn’t he be happy…After he got home.
“Mom I’m back!!!”He yelled at the entrance, he prefers calling his Grandma his mom.
“And where are you coming from Loren” Grandma Sara yelled back with a frowny face.
“From the Hustle camp”Lorenzo said.
“How many times do I have to tell you not to go there again, You’re too young to be a hustler, I can take care of you myself” Grandma Sara said But Lorenzo wasn’t paying attention, Instead he said something off topic.
“I’m hungry”He said.
“Younno what I’m punishing you”Grandma Sara said grabbing her cane as she dash towards Lorenzo who ran.
Soon the Chase became a play thing to both of them.
When they got tired, They sat at the Varanda, There Grandma Sara served Lorenzo his favorite dish, Noddle Soup.
They ate to their satisfaction, By now it was already already late in the night but the moon gave it’s dim light.
“Mom I wish I can become the Emperor when I grow up” Lorenzo said.
“Keep on wishing, coz if the Emperor hears it he’ll be very mad”Grandma Sara said and Lorenzo laughs.
“When I become the Emperor I’ll Build a very big mansion…
the Rest of the words got stocked down there when he saw Two Royal guards approaching, Grandma Sara already had a serious look on her face.
“Greetings sirs what brings the royal guards to my place” Grandma Sara asked kindly.
“His Majesty want ya son”They said dragging him away, It all happened so fast All Grandma Sara did was just to stare.
The guards arrived at the palace with Lorenzo.
The Empress stared at Lorenzo with disgust.
“I just hope his soul get that beast out of my son”She thought before following, They got to the secret room where they met A guy who dressed like Sorcerer and the Emperor who was staring at a Boy who happens to be his son, One could recognize the person Jericho, He was sleeping on the bed as a dark crescent moon mark glowed on his forehead.
Little Lorenzo was confused,He wasn’t able to see the face of the boy on the bed but his instinct told him that he’s the Prince.
“Great Sorcerer we’ve found a soul in which you can seal the beast in…take it out of my son” The Emperor said panicky, Actually he’s son got possessed by the Cloud Beast and now they’re planning to transfer the Beast into Innocent Lorenzo.
“Noooo lemme go!!!”Lorenzo yelled when he finally understood all what was happening.
The sorcerer did his job, He took the Cloud Beast and sealed in Lorenzo.
But fifteen years later, Lorenzo came back, He killed them in form of a beast.
BACK TO PRESENT
“Have I answered ya question”, Lorenzo said and the old lady nods.
“But Your Majesty The heir of the throne is somewhere in the corner looking for a way to get you eliminated be careful”The old lady said and Lorenzo nods Before walking out.
~~~Back In the Palace•Night
Gwen arrived at the palace, Luckily for her Lorenzo wasn’t around no one suspected her absence.
She walked into her room, took her bath and dried herself with a towel, she packed her wet hairs, She wored her night robe.
Still in Dee thought about Jericho told her.
Just then she heard a knock on the door,
“Come in”She said and The door opened Irish walked in, Gwen’s eyes widened as she furiously grabs Irish giving her her usual dirty slaps.
“Aren’t you dead witch, you tried to kill me!!!” Gwen yelled as she pulls her by her hair, Pushing her to the floor as she began to beat the hell out of Irish.
The worst part was that Irish did nothing to defend herself, Active she came to apologize before Gwen started this…
Alana walks into her room with a panicky attitude, Her mind is not at rest right now,. First of all Rome has been cured of the love potion and now he loves Irish.
And Secondly she lied to cover up all things, She’s not pregnant…She must act fast unless she’s doomed.
She was still pacing up and down in the room when she heard a knock on the door.
“Who’s that!!”She yelled.
“It’s me your Highness, his Majesty wishes to see you in the throne room” The guard said and Alan’s heart skipped a beat.
Episode 41 & 42: BLOOD SPLASH
She held her chest like her heart will fly out anytime soon, Of course Emperor Lorenzo won’t take it likely and the worst of all is that she’s not even pregnant.
She only open the door and heads to the Emperor’s throne room, Only heavens can save her now…
Gwen was not even thinking to let go of Irish who wasn’t doing anything to save herself, Gwen was releasing several dirty slap on her face, She wish she could just strangle the live out of Irish.
“Aren’t you dead yet huh?” She screamed like a mad woman while she continues the beating, Just then Rome walked in as he pushed Gwen off Irish who he helped up instantly.
“Are you planning to kill her!” Rome yelled at Gwen who scoffs before speaking.
“When she poisoned me you should have asked her that question” Gwen fired back .
Rome only looks at Irish who bows her head in tears.
“I’m sorry”She sobs, Rome only exhales before speaking.
“She’s sorry at least you’re still alive”Rome said .
“Oh really, I’m gonna tell Lorenzo to issue for her execution Trust me!!!”Gwen yelled out of anger.
Rome rolled his eye ball before he walked out with Irish.
Gwen sat down on her bed breathing heavily, She suddenly bursted into tears, She feels frustrated right now…Apart from what Irish did to her, She’s still confused on what action to take next, Should she support Jericho or Lorenzo?
“Where are we going”Irish asked Rome?
“Actually I’ve reported to my brother about Alana and he wishes to see us all including you”He said and Irish rooted on her spot her heart skipping a beat.
“I can’t go he’s gonna kill me”Irish said fearfully she could vividly remember what happened after that day She poisoned Gwen.
“C’mon You saved my life he won’t do anything to you trust me”Rome adviced but Irish was really scared.
“But…
Before she could even land Rome drags her along.
~Same Night~~Wong’s Resident
It was late in the Night and everyone in the huge Resident had retired to bed, Including Mr & Mrs Wong- Rhea’s parent.
Rhea sat in her room, Beside the window as she stared outside in deep thought.
After Lorenzo divorce her, She hasn’t been hearing from her daughter Nyx and Her Lover Leopard, Speaking of him is he dead.
Who knows” She thought heaving a sigh, All this ain’t her fault… If only her parent allowed her to marry the man she loved… None of this would’ve been happening.
Just then some jumped into her room through the window which made her flinch fearfully, But a wide smile spread out on her lips when she realizes that it was Leopard.
“Leo?” She called as she pulled him into a deep hug.
“Thank heaven, You aren’t dead”She added as they broke the hug, They stared at themselves with wide smile on their faces.
“So Tell me how do you escaped from the Prison or did Lorenzo free you”Rhea asked.
“Actually Let’s forget about that, I didn’t come all the way here to chat, I’ve missed you”Leopard said as he pulled her into a deep kiss, They’ve been longing to do that…
~~~That Same Night
Alana pushed the door open as she walked into the throne room, Her heart beat was accelerating madly like she’d faint anytime soon.
She managed to compose her self, Lorenzo had his expressionless face on as he sat mightly on his throne, Rome and Irish stood at a corner, sane goes to Lyssa and Fionn who won’t stop glaring at Alana, A guy dressed on a physician uniform was also present with some few guards.
“Greetings your Majesty”Alana said bowing down, as expected Lorenzo didn’t reply he went straight to the point.
“Is it true that you poisoned my brother to make him fall in love with you” Lorenzo asked, Everyone stared at her anticipating for her reply but no reply came.
“Must I always repeat my self, Y’all know I hate doing that!”Lorenzo snapped dangerously sending shivers to Alana’s spine she didn’t know when she replied.
“Yes your majesty I’m sorry”Alana said which got Lorenzo chuckling, Rome was fuming in anger.
”And are you pregnant”Lorenzo asked.
“Yes”She lied, Lorenzo signaled the physician to do the needful.
The physician got to Alana and made to resume the test, Alana gave him a look but he ignored her totally as he continues.
Gwen was still in her room when she saw a figure at the rooftop with a bow and arrow and the familiar figure was targeting someone in the throne room, She traced it and it landed on Lorenzo.
She ran crazily to the throne room, She pushed the door opened while breathing heavily, She ran to Lorenzo and pushed him off his throne before she could even run, The arrow pierced into her stomach as blood splattered around.
All eyes widened as they watched her drop dead.
