The Last Confessor Episode 35

(She’s the last of her kind….)

“Summon Delphine to my Chambers!” King Miley ordered one of the guards standing beside him.

“Yes my king.” The guard bowed and walked out of the Chambers.

King Miley took a large gulp from his wind cup and exhaled sharply.
He was running out of patience already as he hasn’t heard anything from Delphine, the red sister he had sent to poison king Cesar.
The real Salome was in the dungeon where she was being held hostage.

She was kidnapped by king Miley’s men on her way to king Cesar’s palace and Delphine was made to impersonate her so the plan can be carried out.

The real Salome doesn’t even know where she is because she has been blindfolded even before she arrived at king Miley’s kingdom.

But the king didn’t mean to hold her hostage forever, he would release her when Delphine finally come with good news that the king is on his death bed, struggling for his life.

And then, he would finally hear that king Cesar is dead.

Delphine is the only red sister that can sing and that was why king Miley chose her.

King Miley hoped that, Delphine would come with a good report and that’s the only thing that can cool his troubled heart.

He doesn’t want anything to go wrong because he had spent a lot for the deadly poison.

The door opened and Delphine and the guard that had gone to call her walked into the chamber.

“Long live the king!” Delphine praised the king wit her head bowed. He just nodded his head and waved his hand.
She took slow strides towards the king and knelt before him on his throne.

“Is there good news?” King Miley groaned impatiently.
Delphine grinned and stared at the king.

Only the red sisters are allowed to stare at the king without being punished.

“Yes my king.” Delphine replied, the smile never leaving her pretty face.
“Spill it already.” The king hissed out.

“I was able to successfully poison the king and immediately it started having effect on him, I quickly ran away before things get complicated.” She smiled.

“And I think by now, he must have died.” She added.

“Oh my! You’ve made me so proud Delph. I’m so glad. I’ll just wait for a little while before going to claim what’s mine – the confessor.” He smiled and gulped down the whole quantity of wine. He sighed and licked his lips.

His mind was finally at rest and he was happy.
“You’re gonna be heavily rewarded for a job well done.” He added.
Delphine smiled and bowed her head.

“Thank you my king.”

After breakfast, princess Rayna went out with her two friends who were also princesses. They were talking non-stop but princess Raynas’ mind wasn’t there.
Her mind was heavily troubled and filled with guilt.

She had taken the confessor’s glory by telling her brother, the king that she was the one who saved him.

Her mind wasn’t at peace with her and she was feeling so bad and guilty.

With a final decision, she decided that she’d tell the king the truth – perhaps, that would make her mind free and she wouldn’t feel guilty again.

“Go to your room Isabelle, I would send for you later and by then, I would have know the kind of hard punishment I’ll give you.” King Cesar muttered and walked away, leaving Isabelle stunned and nervous at the same time.

The king was definitely gonna punish her twice of what he intended before.

Isabelle walked along the hallway heading to her room – absent-mindedly.
She suddenly bumped into somebody and she was shocked to see the prince. She quickly stood erect and bowed before him.

“Good day my prince.” She muttered.

“Confessor, have you thought about my proposal?” He asked bluntly, ignoring her greetings.
Isabelle choked on nothing and coughed.

“My prince…” She itched her none itching hair and stared at her feet.
“I’m still thinking about it.” She mumbled.

“Really? For how long will you continue to think about it huh?” He asked with a smirk.
Isabelle was speechless and tongue-tied.

“Confessor.” He drawled and moved closer to her and whispered into her ear – “if you don’t agree, I’ll still get you even if it’s by force and when I finally do, I won’t help remove this thing holding your power and I’ll also make sure the king punish you and I’ll make life miserable for you here in the palace.”

He grinned devilishly and walked away, leaving Isabelle really stunned and pale too. The words had gotten to her and blood had drained from her, making her look a white ghost because of how pale she suddenly looked.

She shook her head and continued her walk to her room.

****
The king sat on his reading table and chair, working on scrolls.
Princess Rayna walked in elegantly with a smile on her face but it was a fake smile.

“My king.” She called nervously and bowed her head. King Caesar took his gaze from the scrolls to stare at his sister who looked troubled.

“I have a confession to make and I hope you don’t get angry.” She pouted and stared pleadingly at him.

The king suddenly seemed interested as he stared keenly at her.

“What is it Rayna? Go on and say it.” The king urged softly.
Princess Rayna was nervous and she couldn’t even tell why.

She rubbed her palms together and exhaled deeply.

“I wasn’t the one who found the cure that brought you back to life.” She finally got the courage and boldness to say it.

The king stared unbelievably at her, finding it hard to believe what he just heard.

“You’re kidding right?” He asked, his eyes not leaving her face.
“I’m not. It’s the truth.” She said.

“If you didn’t, then who did?” He asked.

Princess Rayna hesitated for a while, not knowing what the king’s reaction would be when he knows that it was the confessor.

“It was the confessor.”

Isabelle got to her room and sat on her bed. She folded her knees up and placed her hand on her chin like one in deep thoughts.

She sighed tiredly and ruffled her hair. The prince’s words replayed in her head and she found it ridiculous.
He sure has a big ego.

He is gonna have her by force if she doesn’t comply?
Tch!

What does the prince wants from her exactly? And one thing she knows is that, if the prince should have s*k with her, he wouldn’t stop but continue to.

She doesn’t want to have anything to do with the prince that would endanger her life more and put her in a dilemma more than she is in already.

But the prince, he had looked dead serious and persuasive. He’d definitely carry out his threat but she doesn’t want that.

“Argh! What am I gonna do now? What decision do I take that wouldn’t put me in trouble? Now I’m between the devil and the deep blue sea.” Isabelle soliloquized with her back on the bed, facing upwards.
