: AND A WHISPER OF CONSCIENCE.
Vetta gaped at her, "WHAT!?"
She swallowed tightly, "When he was roasted...it happened. The seers said that it's a miracle we are having a child now..." She caressed her belly lovingly.
The world tilted around Vetta. She wanted to rage at Danika for telling her a lie like that in an effort to save her own head, but suddenly, a lot of things were starting to make sense to her.
Why she never got pregnant for him for the past five years she's been his mistress even when she took fertility pills, only to get pregnant with Karandy's child after that one time...
All those women were brought into the palace and slept with in the next year after their slavery...
Why he was so happy when he found out about this child...
It suddenly made sense. That one night three years ago, they were talking after he took his pleasures from her body and he called himself "A King that can never have an heir".
Then, she'd dismissed it because she thought he does not want a child... Now she knows it's because he can't father them.
Queen Danika watched how devastating the news is for the mistress, that is when she actually believed that the mistress does not know was about this before.
But will this revelation save her from the other woman's hatred and rage?
"Please, don't kill me... don't kill our child." She pleaded then.
When Vetta looked up at her, Danika really did give up then.
She saw tears in Vetta's eyes. Through the tears, she saw her own death in the Mistress's dark-brown eyes.
Then, the mistress sprang to her feet and withdrew a knife with a long sharp blade. She has never seen that kind of knife in her life, and she knows without a doubt that a knife like that will tear through the body killing instantly.
Danika had the great urge to scream, but she opened her mouth and no sound will emerge. She was too shocked.
Vetta walked towards her before she could open her mouth to give screaming another try. She placed the knife to her belly, "I hear a scream and I dig this knife deep inside your belly before I dive out of your window."
Queen Danika snapped her mouth shut. Tears filled her own eyes. Heavens, I'm going to die...!
"When I think your father did enough, a new one presents itself! How dare you stand there and look so righteous after you all destroyed our lives!?" Vetta glared at her, her eyes swimming with angry tears.
"Do you have any idea what I went through in your father's hands!? Do you have any idea what it feels like to live in hell for ten good years waiting for your own day to die!? Do you know what it feels like to be ráped by several different men every single night and you cannot do anything about it!? Do you have any idea what it feels like to be whipped day and night until your back is all shredded and torn, filled with blood and bruises!!!?"
Queen Danika lowered her head as guilt and shame overwhelmed her. No matter how she tries to tell herself that it isn't her fault, the feeling weighted inside her.
Vetta is not done. Tears slipped from her eyes, "Do you have any i-idea what it feels like to do things against your will!? Do you have any idea what it feels l-like to take a life!!? Do you know what it feels like to be FORCED to take SEVERAL lives!?"
It was getting harder to talk for the mistress because of the tears, "A-And then, most especially, d-do you have any i-idea w-what it feels like to protect someone you love with e-everything in you only for someone e-else to come out of nowhere and take him from you...!?
