Chapter 72: Dealing With Flora

"You can tell me freely. Is the person here or not?" 

King Vilas's question left Flora dumbstruck. Her eyes were all wide with the evident horror that arose in the heart. 

There was no denying that she couldn't help but feel her own self not able to absorb the bit where she had to dig nails into her flesh.

"His Highness's...this..." 

"Princess Flora, you have no other option. Tell me, what do you wish to tell? Did someone force you to leave?" This time, King Vilas was purley blunt with his speech. 

Even Prince Dominic was slightly amused as he had never seen his father being so indifferent, yet being calm. 

The fury was residing in both of their minds but he had still been able to tame it, unlike King Vilas, who was also trying hard to find the reason to rip Daniel's neck.

Rotating his head in the King's Vilas's direction, he saw the eagerness, 'Isn't it very clear that Second Man Daniel is responsible for everything that happened today? can't he see that Flora was simply a prey for this situation?' Prince Dominic could easily conclude.

How come his father wasn't able to differentiate between the things either? 

However, while staring at his father, his eyes fell upon Second Man's alarmed expressions. 

His deep breath was evidence that he was afraid, since Flora had the power to blurt everything against him. 

If she does, it might be not only used against him, but also put his current status in danger. 

At this point, his brows were lifted off from its place where removed his eyes back to see Flora, taken aback with the fear. 

Despite her multiple attempts to hide her real self, her trembling hand had betrayed her many times. 

Whereas, King Vilas had maintained the same expressions throughout. In fact, he showed no scope of rejection from his side, trying his best to get the evidence from Flora's mouth itself, "If you think that your life will be in danger then don't worry."

"I guarantee that your life will be protected no matter what. Nothing will happen to you if you tell me the name of the person who had assisted you in escaping. Just a name, Princess Flora.." He had given a tempted offer which sparkled Flora's eyes. 

The joy that had displayed on her face was hard to miss. It was already read by both the King as well as prince, but the same can't be said for the Second man Daniel,whose lips were pursed into a thin line. 

'If this girl actually takes my name...everything will be gone..' throughout the courtroom, he had tried his best to gain her attention. 

However, to his dismay she was not even blinking or having a glance in his direction. Was this intentional from her side? 

He didn't think so but it raised too many questions inside his mind. 

'I will have to stop her no matter what...' but Daniel didn't find any other option present in his hands to actually let go of the matter so that he can be saved no matter what. 

Yet, when he saw her actions ,went into Flora's actions. it made his pound in his chest. 

Similarly Flora had to take a deep breath to finally clench her hands together while she lifted her eyes to stare at her King with all her confident figure. 

Her body language gave many hints to King Vilas, making his eyes narrowed. 

"His highness...you are wrong. None actually assisted me in this, I had done everyone on my own. It was simply to escape this marriage with vampires..nothing less or more.." 

"I know that I have made a grave mistake and..Sister Alice had to take my place in your honor, but...I will still request King Villas to not let me undergo any other punishment. If you even want me to marry anyone right now, I'm willing to do that!" Princess Flora finally responded, making King Vilas's lips pursed into a straight line. 

The lines on his forehead deepened where he had somewhat expected her to do this.. "After all...blood is still thicker than anything else.." he can't help but mumble to himself, as he realized that, in the end, Princess Flora was the daughter of the Second Man. 

How can a daughter go against her own father? If Alice had kept his honor by marrying a monster, so did Princess Flora by lying on his behalf, despite him openly telling that he won't care if the King also punishes her....

At some point, King Vilas could empathize with the lady in front of his eyes. 

Yet he kept the stone over his heart to say it out loud, "Very well then, Since you have agreed that you had done everything on your own, and taken the path of honesty, I will still leave you. However.."

".....You will have to marry someone else. Since you have already shown dishonesty for your Kingdom, I'm highly disputed to say that your marriage will be fixed in the next few days.... till then, you can live in your chamber once we return back." 

"A-as..per..His Highness says..." 

King Vilas's gaze swept across his soldiers once again to pass the commands, "Take her to her chamber, we will be leaving very soon. Also, make sure...that it is secured." he added extra comments, where the soldiers nodded their heads.

Taking a few steps back, they finally became excited with Flora going along with them. 

Meanwhile, Second man Daniel was frozen to his seat. Yet he had come out of his daze when he realized what the King Vilas had offered. 

'Did Flora really not blurt anyone against me?' he can't seem to digest it either. 

It was too uncertain since he had seen the hatred that had resided in her mind against him. 'If she hasn't done it yet...that doesn't mean she can't in the future...' 

As the realization struck in his mind, he could finally understand his own position in which he lies. 

Either he will have to talk with Flora for once and to seal her lips...however, it seems to much of the efforts which he won't opt either 

Daniels's eyes were shining with the unclear mist which had covered his face. The lighted smirk and clenched fists were the example that he was already overwhelmed with tons of emotion already. 

Taking a deep breath, he found King Vilas leaving the courtroom along with his son. 

He saw his back, before he couldn't help but mutter to himself about further plans, "I will have to deal with this Flora...before she leaks any plans of mine.." 

.....

At the same time, King Vilas retarded back to his chamber, where he saw that everything was packed. 

Soon,they were going to depart for their home as well. 

However, his eyes were already over with the entitled mist, making him seem distant and aloof.

His breath depended as he recalled how easily, Second man was let out of his hand, making his blood boil. 

"You had a chance, father.." 

Another voice from behind, made King Vilas turn around to find that his son was standing there. His annoyed expression was evidence that he didn't like whatever decision he took back in the court. "What do you mean to say, Domnic?" 

"She is the reason that Alice is married to a vampire. Yet.. you let her go without even giving her the punishment." Dominic's eyes were already narrowed.

His heart was punching in the ribcage when he stepped inside the chamber. The furious expressions were already seeming distant. "..today was the time when we could have easily fought the Second man and.. given him the punishment we wanted."

"It isn't as simple as you think it to be, Dominic." King Vilas answered, not to give too much of the insight of the situation either.

He was also in the turmoil of losing Alice, yet he can't portray the same so vibrantly. No, it was against his rules. 

However, the same can't be said for Prince Dominic, whose eyes narrowed and kept on growing. "Why do you think so father?" Dominic asked, with a normal tone. 

In return, all he witnessed was to see that King Vilas was actually more uncomfortable than him. A tired sigh escaped from his lips, when he sat there in the armchair. His eyes were becoming heavy and chest building upwards and down, due to the intense feelings that rested. 

"Father…."

"Do you think that I didn't want to touch those who have actually done such a thing with us, DOMINIC?" King Vilas 's speech made the Prince shake his head. "I never meant that…"

"You have no clue how much I craved to see them getting for what they've done with me, with us. Princess Alice … She was wedded in place of Flora. There was nothing left in our hands anymore." 

A faint smile started to trace on his face as he glared back, with his wide and brown colored mix eyes. "You know why I can't do anything? Because..we don't have any proof against the Second man Daniel or what he did..."
