Chapter 19
ISAICS POV
The sound of the palace alarm bells disturbs my sleep. I had planned to rest well tonight, be absolutely fresh and ready to find my Sarah in a different kingdom tomorrow. But whatever has gone wrong at this hour, it’s my duty to address it. Urgh! Being Prince sucks sometimes.
“Your Majesty! Irene Macron is about to be executed!” Doreen’s voice yells. She is already inside without knocking
“What are you talking about?!” I groan pushing the heavy blanket aside.
“She broke out of her cell and killed the guard that was duty. She however didn’t make it past the palace gates, Alpha Johnson spotted her and alerted the guards.” She informs, barely pausing to breathe. “They caught her with the King’s crown”
Hmmm! What! A wave of shock runs through my veins. If that’s true, even I can’t save her from being executed. How could she even get hold of
“You’ll have to hurry if you have anything to say to her before they cut her head!”
“They’re executing her now?” I gasp
“Yeah, King’s orders.”
I run past Doreen at a lighting speed. Having been used to flying over every long distance, my running isn’t that good,
By the time I make it to the nearest balcony, a huge crowd has already gathered around the front yard, they form a circle around few people at the centre. One is a bloodied girl on her hands and kneels, her hair hides her face but I don’t need to see it to know who it is Alpha Johnson, Angel Heren. My father and three guards stands beside her, glaring. Alpha Johnson holds what seems to be my father’s crown in his hand
Also at the centre of the scene, is a woman laying on the ground crutching in her arms what seems to be a dead body of a male guard in uniform, she is sobbing inconsolably.
“Kill the bitch!” The crowd screams, one of the guards angrily stomps on Irene’s leg, she wails in pain.
pull off my shin, my wings spread out and I descended down to the scene. I land beside the whimpering Irene.
I notice there is a knife covered in blood laying beside her, is she that hurt?
he day I let a mob attack her for something she hadn’t done.
I reach out and roll her to lay on her back. Her bruised face reminds me of Sarah, the day I let a
There is however no deep cuts on Irene, just bruises from punches and kicks. So I am guessing the bloody knife was the one that ended the guards life.
The crowd goes wild, insisting that she must die. “That visen dies tonight! How much more evil will she commit before she gets punished!” One of the women in front yells. Those behind her nods in agreement.
“What happened“” I ask my father but it’s Alpha Johnson that answers.
“As you can see, your sister–in–law broke out of her cage, she killed a guard! A young, beautiful son?” He points at the dead man in the woman’s arms. “He was her only child.” He adds, he himself sounding sad.
Looking at save her.

woman weeping. I feel her dread. It’s distressing to watch her scream her sons name while he is surely dead. If Irene did this, I can’t
“That’s not all she did, this was also found on her.” My father says, now taking back the crown from the Alpha
“How could she steal that? She has been in jail for almost a week I question.
“We are guessing someone helped her, we will find that out later. After her head is cut off Father says and the crowd cheers in agreement.
Fuck! Sarah will go mad! Will she ever forgive me? I had stupidly threatened to execute her sister if she doesn’t return to me, now Irene will actually get executed.
How can I defend her when she was caught running with the King’s crown? Of all things people can dream of stealing, she chose to take what would get her hanged? Above that, she had to kill someone? Anyone could have killed the guard, mostly the person that was helping her, but she was caught with the bloody weapon! What words can I even use to defend her!
“Father, can’t it wait at least until I find Sarah?” I ask and my statement is countered by angry shouts from the crowd.

Chapter 19
“She dies tonight!! Didn’t she also hurt your mate!” Someone within the crowd yells.
Right, she did horrible things to Sarah, perhaps to even the guard, but Sarah still cares about her.
Father steps closer to me, I look at his face and I know what’s coming, an endless lecture about how I need to learn to make hard decisions.
“You want to tell that mother who just lost her son that the evil responsible will not get punished because she is your in–law? Unlike your Sarah, that man is never coming back to life! Our law demands that murderers be executed, and that’s what is going to happen! When you find Sarah, tell her to that her sister took an innocent life, I am sure she too will understand” He snaps in my face before turning away.
“Kill her!” I hear him command.
“Wait! She…killed him! She-” Irene screams but the guards around her are already landing blows on her. I move to stop them but my father steps in front of me, blocking my path.
“Step back! I gave an order, and even you must respect it” He snarls.
“Your order is going to ruin my life with Sarah!” I try to reason with him because by no means can I dare hit my father, especially not for someone
as evil as Irene.
“Like I said. I am sure Sarah will understand.” He says.

I hear the sound of blade cutting through flesh, Irene’s scream fills the air. Even father turns around to see what was happening.
The crowd that had gathered around her separates to reveal the knife embedded deep into Irene’s chest! The mother of the dead guard holds the handle of the knife, pulls it out and thrusts it back into Irene’s flesh again!
“Guess she just avenged her son’s death, eye for an eye” Father mutters, not bothering to stop the woman
The girl is already dead, there is nothing even I can do anymore, I really hope that Sarah will understand.
