Chapter 4: She chose death
Princess Amelia looked at her mother confusedly not understanding what the king was saying and expected her to say something but was hurt at the disappointed look her mother was giving her. She desperately wishes someone could explain what is going on for her. One of the chiefs stood forward and said,
"Princess Amelia, it was said that you were supposed to compete with Princess Tania today",
She nodded in response,
" but because of the false claims of the prince's death and the rage, you killed the princess",
"What?", she exclaimed, shocked at the accusation. She wanted to laugh at how funny that just sounded but the look on everyone died down every urge to,
"your majesty that's not true", she defended,
" Will you shut up", the king thundered, frightening everyone in the palace but not Amelia,
" I'm sorry your majesty but please listen to me, Princess Tania never showed up, I waited up for her but she never showed up<>I had no idea what the reason could be<>or the fact that she was murdered", she defended herself.
" you liar, you are a devil", one of the princesses said but she ignored her. Princess Amelia knew so well Tania is one of the king's favorites, the king has never paid attention to her and now that Princess Tania was killed and she is accused of it, she got scared and afraid of what the result was going to be. The king doesn't even research deeply about the prince's death, there's no assurance he will about her being falsely accused.
" I'm sorry princess, there's no need to tell any more lies as it is clear that you killed the princess due to your grudge",
"What grudge?", she looked at the chief then back at the king. She feels so helpless at the moment and needs someone to stand up for her, someone to say ' I trust her, she would never do that ' or ' No she didn't do it, or She can never do such a horrible thing' but no one did, even her mother looks at her with ' I am very disappointed in you ' look, the only person that has ever got her back is dead. Now she's left on her own, like a deserted island.
' yes the mirror ', she thought as she remembered that the mirror will represent the status of one's deed, whether it is evil or still pure.
" I am telling the truth, your majesty, I have no reason to kill the princess, she's my sister and she never showed up, if truly I did, if truly I harbor such evil, my deed mirror would reflect it",
"And I think you should take another look at yourself in the mirror", the judgment chief said. A maid brought a mirror forward and showed it to her. Amelia looked at herself in the mirror and receives the shock of her life. Her mirror deed is in black. Her mouth fell wide open,
"no, no, no no your Majesty this is not true I never killed the princess", she cried feeling more scared and so confused.
"seeing that Your Highness isn't ready to repent, I will do the last honor by letting the king pass the judgment directly", he said and went back to his seat.
Amelia cried pleading with the king to listen to her. She couldn't even say why or how the hell will her deed mirror shows black when she never did any evil act.
" your majesty please have mercy, I never kill the princess",
" here is my judgment to an evil angel like you", he said aloud feeling irritated and disgusted with her presence," you are stripped off of your royalty and you are banished", he said with authority.
Hot tears fell from her eyes as the judgment was passed, Amelia wept bitterly, shaking her head like the judgment wasn't meant for her.
" you are banished into the Darkso kingdom", he finalized.
Amelia's last wish was getting banished into the dark kingdom, being seen as a monster, a demon, that is the worst humiliation ever, and never will she ever allow herself to be tagged as a demon. She is an angel, a pure angel. She stood up with her eyes full of tears, her nose watery with her heart filled with aches and pains.
" It is in the law of the land that every angel that harbors evil should either get thrown out of the universe or get banished into the Darkso kingdom", she said aloud with an aching heart. Everyone present in the palace began to murmur. They all knew the gravity outside the universe isn't a good one, only a few angels came back when they went to see what was beyond the cloud, and the rest of them died.
She took a deep breath," I couldn't defend myself but I promise one day, I shall come back and clear my name and also find out the cause of my brother's death, therefore...I requested a last favor from your majesty, to get thrown out of the universe instead of being thrown into the dark kingdom",
"is she crazy?",
"what is she thinking?",
"she's going to die",
" Is she that fearless or she's just being foolish",
Everyone began to murmur looking at her like she was crazy. Amelia knew she just asked for her death but she would rather die than get banished into the demon world. She couldn't stop her tears from falling. The humiliation of the angels looking at her with a disgusting look makes her more devastated. Her heart suddenly becomes heavy, she wished to scream real loud, it felt like a dream in which she would sacrifice anything for as long as she woke up, she desperately wish someone to stand up and stood for her, she wish someone would look at her either pitifully or with ' I know you don't do it look '. The fact that she was falsely accused didn't make her more depressed than the fact that no one, not even her mother stood for her or defend her. It hurts so much.
" I shall grant your wish, you are dismissed from the universe", the king gave out the order without a second thought,
Amelia fell back on her knees and cried out her eyes, she didn't hear any other thing they were all saying nor did she know what was going on anymore. She could only feel her heart aching, her voice screaming out loudly internally. She got dragged towards the portal, she couldn't even raise her head till the portal opened up and swallowed her.
DARKSO KINGDOM
" your majesty!!", the demon known for being the fastest dark angel to receive and gather information flew towards the king who was amid his concubines, enjoying the feeling of their hands on his body and grabbing and squeezing their breasts.
" what information did you have this time?", he asked not even looking at him.
" It's bad news, your majesty",
"spill it",
"the princess...",
" is she on her way here?",
"no your highness, she requested to get banished out of the universe",
The king paused what he was doing like he didn't hear him," did you just say she requested to get banished out of the world?",
"yes, your majesty",
"Which crazy angel does that?", he said with a scoff, he looked at his shadow, a personal dark angel that always follow him around.
"is there a way to know if she is dead or alive?", he asked,
" yes, your majesty but that will take a long time",
"how long?",
"Long",
"I don't care, I want you to find out if she's dead or alive",
" your majesty....",
"now", he roared with a scary authority. The shadow immediately obeyed, shivering with fear as he knew what the king is capable of doing. He proceeds to gather up more demons and they set out to find the princess. The king relaxes back with a smirk.
" interesting", he said.
