His Witch Queen-Chapter 168: Revenge!

To this point, Alice, as well as Lucy, were all stunned.

Immediately, they turned to face no one else but King Vilas, who held a strict face and expressions in those eyes.

Instantly, Lucy had covered up her face with the scarf like earlier and Alice had taken a step ahead to break the eye view of King Vilas and Lucy, "Father...I wanted to introduce you to someone..."

"Who is she, Alice? And how is she allowed to be with Dominic’s body!?" King Vilas’s voice was very much shrill and this made Alice’s spine to be filled with dread.

She felt uneasiness in her stomach.

But to cover it up, she took a deep breath and let herself be first of all relaxed, "Please father..don’t..react. listen to me first."

King Vilas finally shifted his eyes to look at Alice, when she successfully gained his attention, "F-father.. as-she is Lucy, Dominic And her were.."

"Is she Lucy?" King Vilas asked, with amusement.

From his tone, she could easily guess that he knew who the lady was. In response to the other father’s words, Alice gave solid and then looked at Lucy, who was also insisting on hiding herself from those gazes.

"Y-yes. She is Lucy. Dominic had told you about her?" Alice inquired, to which King Vilas passed her a small nod, "H-he did. But that isn’t a big deal. What is she doing here right now?"

"She has the right to attend Dominic’s funeral," Alice demanded, and then, she stepped back. She took Lucy’s shoulders to bring her forward after passing her an assured blink,

Lucy was also fear-stricken. But there was still the scope left in her hand. Lucy took a deep breath when the two of them stepped ahead, to come in front of King Vilas. There was no conversation between them, but Alice then said, "Brother would surely want her to be here."

"Lady Lucy." King Vilas took her name, to which she raised her head and gazed back at King Villas with her sphere eyes, "You should go back. This isn’t the place where you should be present. It will cause you lifelong trauma and sadness. Please go away.."

Hering her father’s words, Alice too was struck. She can’t help but find herself to be not only shocked but somewhat displeased that he had outrageously asked Dominic’s girlfriend to return. ’H-How can he do this?’ She was totally taken aback.

While Lucy had no words to describe it right now, she neither protested nor said. At this point, Alice had a firm idea about how worst Lucy might be. ’I needed to take a step ahead.’

With this thought lingering in Alice’s mind, she had kept a firm standing at her words, before muttering, "Father..there is something more than that. Please listen to what I have to say."

"L-Lucy is..pregnant with Dominic’s child. S-she is going to be the mother of.." Alice shifted his attention to turn around and look at the dead body of her precious brother. Just her glances and it was fine with her father to understand the extra unspoken words.

It caused turmoil to surface inside King Vilas’s mind. He can’t help but feel his mind going through the sentiments that he had never felt. The fact that he was going to be a grandfather was a joyous occasion.

But learning about it on the day of his son’s funeral was another disheartening news that he cannot deny.

King Vilas’s eyes went across to see the lady, Lucy. She was covering her face with a scarf. But it’s hard to invade his eyes and then, he saw her stomach that carried the small inch of his child. ’I had warned Dominic..his story also met with the same events..’ the thought and the anywhere Dominic had told him about Lucy once again started out in reflection.

But Alice broke him out from his daze, "Father..I know that you don’t want any things. But please understand..She..needs to be here. Please, father..."

"Even brother Dominic wanted us to take care of her. He told me this on his own!" Alice repeated the words and made a plea kind of face before him

King Vilas was taken aback but there was suppressed urge inside his mind.

To avoid it, he finally muttered after his teeth gritted against each other and he held his heart back, "Only for the ceremony. Afterward, you will be shifted somewhere else." 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

In return, Alice gave a slight nod, and so did Lucy. She didn’t have longevity and King Vilas finally left for the rituals to begin..

Alice looked at the lady beside her. She was still shy, or normally, broken by her heart. It devastated her mind, and Lucy’s gaze wasn’t tearing away from the dead body Dominic even for a second.

Alice took a deep breath, before holding Lucy’s shoulders, "Lucy..it is time to bid goodbye to Dominic for one.."

.....

The entire family had gathered in the same cemetery.

Alice had stood at the corner and with her was the one and only, Lucy. On the other side was Cyrus, who was also a bit far from everyone but he had seen everything with his keen eyes.

Dominic’s body was laid in the coffin and prayer was held under the rituals. King Vilas broke down while crying and now, Princess Alice can’t help but feel her heart numb.

At this point, there was nothing that could conclude what was happening. As they all saw Dominic’s body being laid into the coffin and then, and it was closed. It was dug and kept under the sand and the rituals continued.

Whereas, Cyrus had already seen Alice from the corner of his eyes. He saw how broken-hearted she appeared, and without wasting time he had appeared by her side.

Alice didn’t pay any attention to him. But Cyrus simply walked by her side, to stand tall. Her eyes were all red, filled with sadness and the memory of her brother and hers from the past.

"Control yourself, Alice." she heard Cyrus’s words from behind, "Remember his last words? Your brother isn’t dead because of illness. He was killed."

"And.. These tears of yours should be burning for revenge, not for the sorrow of his absence." Cyrus’s words brought another flame of fire to her eyes. Alice didn’t muter a single word, but her fingers curled into a fist.

Not melting herself, Alice closed her eyes and kept her head on Cyrus’s shoulders beside her. There were rages of the inflammable anger and cry that can’t be subsided so easily.

It was another controlling feature of her mind that told her that can’t be over...

It was beginning..there is darkness awaiting her..

’I will take revenge for you brother. I will go to the depth of everything and....save everyone from onwards. That’s your sister’s promise.’
