Chapter 272: THE DEAD DAUGHTER

She went white instantly.

It was like her heart stopped at that very moment.

It seemed that all she had been hoping for, all that she had prayed for was true.

"It is scarlet." She said in excitement. "She is alive!"

No one said a word. The entire hall went quiet.

She looked at one man to the other and looked at her husband.

Disappointment was heavy in her eyes.

"Do not look at me like I am crazy!" she snapped at them all. "I know what I am tellin you. It is scarlet."

Then she felt a hand on her shoulder.

"Our baby girl is gone." He informed her. "She died many years ago. It is high time we accept it."

"Do not touch me!" She snapped in anger. "Remember what Mira said about the red flame and the emerald. It is because of her that the kracken broke free."

He shook his head. "If this was true, then why did the monsters not break free when..::"

He paused and was quiet.

He held his fist and managed to suppress the pain that he felt of being countlessly reminded of his daughter’s death.

"When Scarelt died." He finished. "When she died and we found the broken bit of the emerald which you currently have in your possession. If she is alive all this time then why did it just happen now? Why did the monster just break lose?! Why how?"

"Or the emerald necklace is still with her longer with her body somewhere under the lake." He said with reason.

"Do not say that! We have checked everywhere! The sirens even searched for us and told us that they did not find her body." She said.

He shook his head exasperated. "The last thing we will do is listen to the sirens. They are not to be trusted. Anything from their lips are a lie."

"And was that why you banished them?!"

She demanded. Then he stopped. "Did you think I will never find out! That I did not know?!"

Now it was becoming like a private row between husband and wife and the members of court were uncomfortable.

Eventually the maester spoke up. "We will give you two privacy."

And they all proceeded to bow and started to leave when she stopped them.

"You are not going anywhere!" She snapped. "You were all there when it happened and you will all stay and testify the truth."

"Let then go for the sake of the gods Rose. They are obviously embarrassed." He said .

"I do not care!" She snapped back. "I am

Speaking only the truth."

He said. "And you know it! You abandoned your duties in your distress and I was forced to take over!" _{frёeωebɳovel.com}
