Chapter 4: Did he wished to kill me...Or..?

Betrayal...? - Part 3 (3/3)

***

I woke up by so much pain that strikes my stomach.

"Hey bitch wake up!"

It was a guard that kicked my stomach while looking down on me with his mocking eyes and smile.

"A bitch who committed treason because of jealousy hah!"

"Just you wait until you see who will slash your head tonight."

"Hahahahaha!!"

Two guards forced me to stand up but tripping me when I walk so that they could step on my bloodied scars made by the thin whip with nails sticking to it.

*Step!*

"Ahh!" I screamed in pain

"Hahahhaha!! It hurts? Then you shouldn't commit a serious crime, bitch."

They both laughed while looking at me with their disgusting eyes.

After ten minutes, they decided to shut up and actually lead me outside and let me in a cold small metal carriage that leads to the town square.

Every person that glanced at the metal carriage looked at it with disdain while only 8 people glanced at it in sympathy.

And then we finally arrived at the town.

In the middle of the crowded people was a medium-sized wooden stage with only one person standing on it.

It was hard to see but I caught a glimpse of the person's hair and it was a long color black hair tied into a high po- ponytail

...

It can't be.

I shook my head and followed the guards.

When I walk in the middle of the crowd, people were looking at me with astonished gaze wondering how could a small and delicate girl commit treason.

But my eyes weren't looking at their gaze.

Instead, I was looking at the guy in the stage who was also looking at me with an indifferent look as I climb up the stairs.

After taking a closer look, I could finally see his appearance very well.

Dark blue long hair tied in a high ponytail, and the same thin blue-green eyes that used to stare at me kindly every day.

I looked at his left hand that was gripping a long thin but hard silver sword with a light blue handle that has a red crystal as it's only decoration.

Looking at my eyes that were reflected in the silver metal, I remembered our conversation when he let me take a look at the Royal Family's treasured sword that was given to him when he was fifteen.

*-*

"Luna"

"Hmm?"

"Do you want to take a look?"

He said as he took out a sword that looked very expensive.

"No." I jokingly said

"Aww-"

I cut him off and smiled while adding, "But sure. I could see you want to boast it off but you can't."

"I'll listen." I closed the book and put it on the small round table beside me.

I patted a space on the couch and smiled at him.

He ran towards the couch and immediately sat comfortably beside me as he talks about his sword.

"Luna~ Do you know this sword is one of the secret treasures of the Darnalia Royal Family?"

No-

Before I could answer, he cut me off.

"And and! Do you know that this sword has a power??"

I was suddenly interested in this sword and looked at him to continue.

"My father said when you killed a human using this sword, the human ---- ----------- -- --- ---- ---- ------ ----!"

*-*

Why is he carrying that sword? Is he the one whose going to kill me!?

H-how can he do that with a straight face!?-

"Kneel!!"

The guard kicked my knees making me kneel instantly in front of my fiance. I saw his face twitched lightly

Frederick walked towards me and crouched to meet my eye level.

He brought his mouth close to my ears and said:

"It's for your freedom, Luna..."

And that was the last words I heard before dying...

He quickly stood up and immediately slashed my neck cleanly without hesitating.

And then... -

***

"Are you out of your mind Ahn Nari!?"

- ...When I blinked, I saw the son of the wealthy family, and my rumored fiance, Sung Kyung Hwan fiercely look at me as he yells using a harsh tone directly at me.
