A few hours ago, I took my last breath cursing carlos my husband, the secret leader of the miscreants he claimed to be fighting against.
For Three years my health drastically declined and just last year I became bedridden.
It was a pity but it was defintely bearable with Carlos around, I'd see my parents every six months and play around with my little brother Leo.
I expected my husband Carlos to take up a new mistress since I had failed to produce an heir but he refused, he rarely frequented brothels and he always defended me whenever anyone made a caricature of my situation, he made it seem less of an arranged marriage and more of love between a couple.
Ugh, I never loved him I can't lie but I respected him, we fought alongside each other once and his sword skills were impressive, he was good looking with a nice toned body, what more could I ask for.
A loud sound makes me jolt from my bed, a dream a pleasant one at that, we had two children and we were frolicking at a beautiful garden, even a soldier like me longed to have that at least but nothing ever went my way.
Wailing and clashing sounds fill the air, I sit up but pain jabs my side, a maid rushes in obviously panicking.
"There's a lot I have to say but I cannot, I know of a secret passage I will direct you "She rushed me, I tried taking bold steps but the pain kept me from moving forward.
When she noticed I was unable to walk, she apologized and went on her way, I lay back in bed awaiting whatever was coming my way.
My bedroom door was torn to pieces and a knight in shining armour sturts inside, only that his armour was bloodied, he took off his headgear and revealed himself.
It was Landre, the viscount.
He locked the door behind him and started taking off his gear, I could sense what was coming, after all I knew he was obsessed with me for whatever reason, before I married carlos he asked for my hand in marriage but he was too desperate and clingly, He acted out of character, it irritated me.
When he was done undoing his armour he walked closer to the bed, I still had my chin up even though I knew what came next.
"it will be easier to hold you down,Good thing carlos poisoned you" He revealed.
I blinked unsure of what to do or say,I was still trying to ask him some questions but he got on top of me, I tried to struggle but he was right, it was easier to hold me down illness had made a mockery of me, I used to be a commander of the largest batallion in my country.
He undid my buttons,forcefully kissed me as he ripped my night gown to shreds and i laid bare under him.
He continued kissing me stopping midway and looking at my bare body.
"Carlos has not given me permission to have you" he blurted and he stepped down from the bed.
I tried asking him about carlos and he just laughed erratically, I dressed myself while landre carried me out and into a carriage. He told me we were going to the palace
On the way there he kept flirting and trying to joke around as if he didn't just take advantage of me.
What a maniac!!!
He played with my hair and sang children's song, when we got to the palace I got down from the carriage and was ushered inside by whom I believed to be a rebel.
The palace resembled a battlefield, a lot worse than my abode.
When I got to the council room, I was greeted with the same smile that I remember, only that it was different.
The smile was accompanied by a bloodied body, carlos looked a mess he was definitely injuried but what took my attention was not carlos but the head he was currently holding.
It was leo.
He was holding leo's head, when he saw me he tossed it aside, my eyes followed it and I saw my parents headless bodies.
"it's already on a pike,I'm not so heartless to put leo's head with them" he laughed while I fell on my knees weeping.
This is his true side, the side I was so oblivious to, I can't believe I let a man to this to me.
Strength came over me as I unsheathed the sword on the guard holding me up, I quickly overpowered him on the spot and struck my blade into landre.
Rushing at carlos with fury until arrows plunged into my side, my knees gave in.
Carlos stood from the throne and came towards me.
He narrated his entire plan, his plan to become king of two powerful countries.
How he set up a neighbouring country to attack my country, Gorrisimo then offering to help us so I'd get to notice him which was why I picked him initially, then slowly poisoning me for years while building his rebel army.
He dragged his sword when he was close to me.i loosed at my chest blood soaked my clothes my consciousness was slipping away
"Any last words my dear"he asked with his silly smile plastered across his face
"Make sure to let my hair down when you put my head on a spike" I answered.
Then his sword came raging at my neck.
