The Alpha's Unwanted Bride novel Chapter 273

Chapter 273: ROSE’S REGRET

"You abandoned your people looking for our already dead daughter." He said. "You triggered all of our traumas. You disturbed it all. Look at Corral! You abandoned her! You let go of her! You were so obsessed with finding a story that you forgot the one the gods had left us with."

"Stop! Stop! Stop!" She screamed in agony with her hands over her ears.

He went quiet for a while and in a gentle voice he said.

"Scarlet is gone. She is dead. She died a long time ago. If the kraken arose then it is possible that the sirens moved it from her body. That is the only explanation." He said. "The sooner you accept it the better for all of us. Because you are tearing this family apart."

And after that statement he turned and walked away.

The other members of court quietly left after him.

And the Queen was left alone.

She fell down to the floor and wept her eyes out.

Meanwhile Corral had been standing in secret a place in the court room where she and her sister Scarlet used to play hide and seek.

It was a secret tunnel way but then it led out of to the imperial court where they would hide and watch their parents sit on the throne and listen to their people.

Now it was only Corral that stood there and watched the entire scene.

She had felt herself being touched by her father’s words that she had been abandoned and it broke her that she had seen her mother overcome with so much grief.

Seeing her crying all alone.

Corral too much of a coward to step forward pulled back into the darkness

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There was a slight knock at Corral’s daughter.

"Yes?" She answered.

Her mother peeped in. "May I come in?"

"Of course mother. Do come in." Corral said motioning for her mother to move in.

Then Corral came down from the bed and hurried to where her mother stood and closed the door behind her.

"Come in mother." She ushered her in

Her mother gave a stiff smile and stepped into the warm room.

"Would you like tea mother?" Corral asked as she walked to where the tea had already bedn set by the last maidens.

"No thank you." Her mother shook her head. "I was just passing by and I wondered if I could see you."

Then her mother sat down on the bed and looked around.

"It had been such a while since I was here." She said. And then she frowned. "Did you do some renovations."

"I changed my rooms." Corral answered quickly.

Rose nodded. "I see. But why? You and your sister shared the same room and you two loved it together ."

Corral shook her head. "That was a long time ago mother. And the memories were too much. I decided I wanted one for myself. One that did not hold any of those old memories."

Rose sighed in heavily.
