Chapter 122 My Kingl My King
Shooting Broderick will most definitely hurt Amy. Amy may not mind the fact that he was torturing Broderick since he is on a just cause. Afterall, Broderick buried him alive at North Hill. But no woman would stand and watch the father of her children get shut.
Nolan sinirked,” I can see you are not scared of death.”
Broderick lowered his head and wished earnestly to get free from the chains he was tied with.
*I’ll get married to Amy in six days and she will become my queen. Together, we will rule EastHill while you will forever remain our slave,” Prince Nolan said.
Broderick raised his head up slowly and said,” you can have her body but you can’t have her heart.”
“Is that so?” Prince Nolan asked and smirked,” I would take that as a challenge, you will realize that she will get to fall deep in love with me as we spend time together.”
Broderick only looked at his face blankly without saying a word.
Nolan then turned and began to walk away while the men covered his head with an umbrella to stop the rain from hitting him.
Nolan soon entered the king’s chamber and realized that Amy had already left. He wished she wait for her but then, they were not married yet. Once they get married, the both of them can live in the same chamber.
After breakfast the following morning, Moses reminded Amy, “Amy, have you been able to reach our dad and ask when he will be able to speak to us?”.
“Sincerely no, but I’ll do that now and come back to update you on what he said,” Amy left the kid’s room and went straight to the king’s chamber.
The two guards before the room bowed before her and then Amy faced one of them and asked, “is the king inside?”
“Yes, he is,” the guard responded politely
Amy knocked on the door and Nolan’s voice sounded from inside” come in.”
Amy opened the door and walked in. Once Nolan saw her, he smiled broadly and stood then welcomed her politely. “Please sit.”
Amy sat and he sit right before her. “How was your night and I hope you took breakfast already?”
“Yes, thank you. I believe you are fine too?”
“I’m doing good though I’ll be having a meeting with city mayors in the next one hour,” Nolan said as he checked his wrist watch,
“Oh! Nolan, please I have a request to make,” Amy said,
*Sure, go ahead,” Nolan sat upright showing her his willingness to listen to her,
* The kids wants to speak to their father. I actually told them he travelled to a far away country cause telling them that he has been enslaved will hurt them so much. Not been able to speak to their father is hurting them so I told them they can talk to him on phone.” Amy said.
“Oht” Prince Nolan thought and said,” are you sure Broderick will want to speak to them?”
“To his kids? Of course yes. I’ll just have to explain the situation of the matter to him, “Amy said,
“Okay… You can just go to him and give him the phone to speak to the kids,” Nolan said.
“Why don’t you take him away from there, he might actually die as a result of too much exposure to sunlight and cold.” Amy said.
“If you want me to take him away from there, I’ll do that,” Prince Nolan said and shouted” guards!”
A guard appeared before him at once, “take Broderick Alessandro to the the dungeon but keep the chains in his leg.”
“Of course, my king,” the guard responded. All the slaves in the kingdom do not always have the freedom to walk freely, they use to walk with chains to their two legs so they would never be able to run away
Once the guard walked out, Amy said to Nolan,” thank you so much.”
“Anything for you, Amy. I just want to see you happy always,” Nolan said.
“I was thinking if we could watch the movies together this afternoon at my cinema room?” Nolan requested.
“You have a cinema in the palace?” Amy was stunned.
*Sure, we have all sort of fun filled activities in the palace. That is why the palace is very large,” Nolan said.
“Okay, around what time and what type of movie?”
“Around 2PM. You can select any movie you wish to watch, I’m sure I’ll enjoy it too,” Nolan said.
“Okay… I’ll think of a movie before then,” Amy smiled. She added after a few seconds,” the children are waiting for updates as regarding speaking to their father, let me just go to the dungeon to meet
Broderick.”
“Alright”
Amy then stood, after taking two steps to walk away, Nolan spoke,” Amy, you won’t change your mind about marrying me, right?”
Amy turned to him and said,” it’s a promise I made to you. I won’t go back on my words.”
Nolan felt releived. He didn’t want Amy and Broderick to be meeting but he can’t stop Amy cause he doesn’t want her to feel restricted. As long as he and Amy marry, the feelings she has for Broderick will die a natural death, that was his believe.
Nolan smiled and watched her leave
Anny beckoned on one of the guards before the king’s chamber to take her to the dungeon that Broderick was
Amy was immedialely led to the entrance of the dungeon, there were about twenty five guards before the dungeon all seated and drinking. They looked very scary and extraordinary burly
The guards already recognized Alny to be Nolan’s guest so they immediately stood in respect of her. The guard who led Amy there bowed to Amy and walked away
“I want to meet with Broderick,” Amy said to the dungeon guards.
“Sure, miss,” many of the guards responded. The thick gate was immediately opened and Amy walked
in.
The dungeon was so scary as the walls of the dungeon were stones. The dungeon looked like a space between a mountain. There was no way air could penetrate inside the dungeon, hence, it was hot. There was no ceiling there, the ceiling there were just stones. Even if one is a superman, it will be impossible for them to break through this dungeon.
Amy saw Broderick sat on the floor, his two legs folded, his head lowered and his eyes closed as if he was meditating.
“Broderick!” Amy called and he fluttered his eyes opened. He raised his head up to her and asked,” what are you doing here?”
“I spoke to King Nolan to take you from the palace field and bring you here, I don’t even know which is worse cause the heat in here is like fire,” Amy said.
“I asked what you want?” Broderick asked with a blank face.
Amy sighed and sat before him,” the children wants to speak with you.” Amy observed Broderick and after seeing that he was only quiet, she added,” they want to speak with you on phone. I actually told them that you escaped North Hill and went to a far away country and that you can’t have enough time to speak with them. But they demanded to speak with you at least once just to be sure you are fine.”
“Call them, ” Broderick said.
“There is only one phone available. I’ll give you my phone and use another line to call you as soon as I get to the kid’s room,” Amy said.
“Okay,” Broderick said and Amy handed over his phone to him.
Amy felt so bad for Broderick.
“You can go.”
“Why are you chasing me away? Don’t you want to see me at all?” Amy asked.
“You are getting married to Nolan in five days time. I think you should stay away from me and focus on the preparation of your marriage,” Broderick said.
“There is nothing to prepare. Everything is being handled by Nolan. I just want you to know that I did not love Nolan. I’m only agreeing to marry him cause of the promise I made to him,” Amy said.
“Goodluck to you,” Broderick said. “This place is too hot. Please leave.”
“You are concerned about me that has been here for only a couple of minutes? How about you that will be here for hours?” Amy asked.
“Don’t act like you care about me now. Your wish to me has come through. I wonder what else you want from me,” Broderick said.
“Broderick, I mean it when I say I love you. I really love you so much,” Amy said with a pitiful face. She held his hand and kissed the back of his palm.
“Broderick!” She called lovingly but Broderick only looked at her in silence. I will think of a way to get you out of here.”
“I don’t need your help.”
“I have caused this and I must get you out of here,” Amy said determinedly.
“And where will I go to after my escape? NorthHill is being ruled by my enemy, I will be arrested in sight,” Broderick said.
“You don’t have to go back to NorthHill. You can go to other countries to live,” Amy suggested.
“I don’t need your help still.” Broderick said.
“Why? Is it because you have not forgiven me for being among the people that brought this on you?” Amy asked.
“I have left my freedom in the hands of fate. But if fate lets me escape here, countries will perish and numerous soul will be lost, I assure you,” Broderick said.
Amy moved closer to him and kissed his lips them sat back.
Broderick smirked,” what are you trying to do? You kiss Nolan before me at my office a couple of weeks ago and now you are using the same lips to kiss me.”
Amy didn’t know what else to say to make Broderick forgive him.
“Have you eaten since you were brought here?” Amy asked.
“No.”
“Taken water?”
“No. Go now or I will throw you out,” Broderick hated how Amy was caring for him. He didn’t want to believe she cared for him.
“Throw me out,” Amy dared him.
Broderick stood and grabbed her hand then dragged her towards the exit of the dungeon and pushed her outside. “Lock the fucking gate!” He commanded and the guards locked the gate.
Tears streamed down Amy’s face as she watched Broderick from outside of the dungeon. He looked empty and devastated.
Broderick pants heavily and laughed, “Nolan can marry you but can never have you.” Broderick turned from her and faded into the dark.
Amy ran away with heavy tears falling off her face, she had to ran into an empty run to cry out her pain,
Broderick sat in the far end of the dungeon that was covered in the dark and then turned on the phone, he knew Brett’s number offhand so he simply dialed it and once Brett answered, Brett spoke,” Mrs. Amy, how can you be so unfair to be among the people that conspired against our country? Have you let your course of revenge on Broderick blinded you? I really hate you right now. Did you know how much Mr. Broderick is suffering in the hand of Prince Nolan? That’s what you want, right? Gosh!
Anyways, what are you calling me for?”
“It’s Broderick Alessandro” Broderick’s voice sounded,
Brett was shocked, “What! Mr. Broderick?”
“I need to get out of here, did you have any plan in place?” Broderick asked.
“Your company has seized operating cause the new president ordered for it’s operation to be suspended until further notice. I couldn’t function as all the men under me are scared of our new president. We are under the military era now and not under democracy like before so everyone is being cautious.” Brett said.
“I need to get out of here,”
“Sir…”
“Don’t worry, I’ll think of a way and reach you,” Broderick said.
“Alright, sir. How were you able to call me? Were you given some sort of freedom cause last I heard, it was said that you were tied to the center pole at the palace field of EastHill,”
“I used Amy’s phone secretly, bye for now,” Broderick said and hung the call up.
He kept his mind still and shut, trying not to think about anything. The phone rang a couple of minutes later and he answered it.
“Hey dad,” Debby’s voice came through. Broderick was familiar to the kids so well that he can recognize them all by their voices
“Debby, my dear,” Broderick said affectionately.
The other children called his name and he replied them all one after the other.
“Dad, we miss you so much,” Queen said with a pathetic voice.
“Don’t worry, I’ll be back soon. I miss you all too,” Broderick said.
“Dad, Amy said you would be coming after four months to us, must it take that long?” Elisha asked.
“I might come next month or before that,” Broderick said and the children jubilated.
“Dad, please come quick, we miss you so much,” Elljah said. Other children said similar words. Broderick felt so emotional and he didn’t know when tears slipped down his eyes. He had missed his kids so much. He was found of seeing them everyday but ever since he got arrested, he had not set his eyes on his beautiful kids.
“I’ll see you soon,” he said and after the children said ‘bye’ they hung the call up.
Broderick dropped the phone before him and clenched his fist. He feels a great pain in his heart cause he wasn’t able to see his six kids. He felt very restricted and helpless.
“I will rise back to power! This time, no mortal will be able to bring me down,” Broderick declared.
When it was 2PM, Amy was already in the cinema room of the palace with Prince Nolan. In a jiffy, the movie commenced,
“Oh! This is even a comedy video, I’m sure we will enjoy it,” Prince Nolan said Merrily after he found out the genre of the movie. The two adults had popcorn in their hand,
“Yes, it will be fun,” Amy smiled.
The movie began and during a funny scene, Prince Nolan laughed so hard but when he couldn’t hear any sound of laughter from Amy, he turned to her and saw that her face was just glued to the big
screen that was displayinh the movie, she looked absent minded.
“Amy!” He called but got no response. “Amy!” He called and Amy came back to life. He had been lost in thought about the predicament of Broderick and was thinking of every possible way to make him escape.
“What’s wrong? You are absent minded,” Prince Nolan said.
Amy forced out a smile and said,” oh! Forgive me… Amy felt bad that she was about to ruin this fun time for Nolan. “I just had a lot on my mind.” ;
Nolan stood and went to pick the remote then paused the video and went to sit back beside her,” Amy, is it about Broderick?”
“Broderick? Of course not.” Amy responded. She will be marrying Nolan in five days time and it doesn’t make sense for her ‘husband to be’ to know that her mind was occupied with another man.
Nolan trust every single words of Amy as he believed her to be an honest woman. He heaved a sigh of relief, happy that the reason why she was absent minded wasn’t because of Broderick.
“So what is it? Just feel free to tell me and I’ll do something about it. I’m the king now and my power is unlimited. Just tell me what you want?” Nolan requested.
“It’s not really something physical. Don’t worry, I’ll be fine,” Amy placed her hand on his shoulder and looked inside his face affectionately then she rested her head on his chest.
Nolan was happier for her reaction, he cuddled her softly as he caressed her back then he kissed hair dark hair. “I love you so much, Amy.”
Amy hugged him even more but didn’t respond. It was hard to confess to someone you did not love that you love them. It was Broderick that she loved and she finds it easy to tell it to him.
“My king! My king!” A guard suddenly called loudly and repeatedly outside of the door of the cinema room.
Sensing the thr call was urgent, Nolan stood since Amy had already pulled back from the hug. Nolan and Amy walked towards the exit of the cinema room and when they opened the door, the guard said as he pants heavily, “Broderick escaped.”
