The Last Confessor Episode 50

(She’s the last of her kind….)

By: Kebby NG

The maids were taken to a very big hall and beds were arranged in it according to the number of maids that were there.

“After the cruel punishment from the king, none of us were found guilty. The king’s cruelty is becoming too much. It’s rather I go back to my poor mother’s hut than to continue to suffer here and who knows? Eventually die, perhaps even for what I didn’t do.” Sofia, a maid whimpered as they all sat forlornly on their respective beds.

Sofia was known to be a very quiet lady who minded her business but hearing her speak up with so much hate and bitterness in her voice, everyone turned to stare at her.

“I agree with Sofia. I’m leaving the palace too. The bruises I have because of what I don’t know about, might never heal. I’ll rather leave the palace and sell on the streets than to continue to leave in this hell hole they call a palace.” Benita, another maid added and sniffled her tears loudly.

“Yes.”
“Yes…”
Different painful voices filled the hall as the maids said at once in pain.

All of them were really tired of living in the palace. They knew they had to voice out their opinions to the king even if it means death.

They’ve experienced punishment even worse than death.

“We have to unite and voice out to the king that we no longer want to leave in the palace.” Sofia said and they all chorused a big yes.

The guards entered with the medicine men and he looked shocked as he stared at the maids that looked really sick and pale.

Some of them couldn’t even seat as they laid on the bed. They were all weak and had sad and pained faces.

The medicine man shook his head sadly and proceeded in treating the maids even if he knew it would take a lot of time.

*******
“Roseline?” The king thundered angrily with a deep scowl on his face.
He looked so enraged that even a blind man doesn’t need to be told how angry and furious he looked.

His hand was already in a tight fist that all his vains shot out. He looked as if he would kill Roseline.

“My king.” Roseline stuttered in great fear and her knees sunk to the floor with her hands clasped together.
She was already perspiring seriously and she was visibly shaken.

She swore at herself because she had carelessly forgotten to lock her door.
The king would have knocked before coming in if he had seen that her door was locked, and it would have made her put away the things before she finally opened the door.

But now, she was bursted– so done for.

“It’s not what you think.” She whimpered and bowed her head, making her long hair scattered all over her face, covering part of her face.

“It’s not what I think when I can clearly see it?” He asked coldly, his voice low but filled with anger and coldness.

“I came to your room just this morning to ask if you took the confessor’s bracelet and you denied ever seeing it.

I persisted you, telling you to tell me the truth so I would spare you but what did you do? You lied to my face.

You still insisted that you didn’t take it. And now, I suddenly walk into your bedroom and I found you about to destroy the bracelet that you claimed you haven’t even seen or taken!” The king lashed out angrily glaring hard on her.

“I’m sorry my king… please forgive me.” She sobbed silently, her gaze still on the floor.

The king kept quiet and took slow strides towards her. He got to where she knelt and forcefully pulled her up roughly by her arm.

Roseline jerked in fright because she wasn’t expecting his reactions since her gaze was on the floor and her hair scattered all over her face.

“I’m gonna deal with you Roseline; for hurting the confessor, stealing her bracelet and lying to my face.” The king growled as he held her jaw sharply to stare at his face but she dare not.

“I’m really sorry my King…it wasn’t intentional. I’m really sorry. It wouldn’t happen again.” She cried out.

She winced loudly as his gripped tightened around her arm and his other have firmly on her jaw.

“No amount of begging and sorry would make me forgive you.” He snapped and pushed her roughly. She staggered and fell hard on her butt.

She whimpered fretfully and let out all her tears like rainfall.

The side of her arm the king had held was bleeding already and she almost screamed in fright.

She hated blood, she hated seeing it, especially on her body.

“Jeffrey!” The king called out and Jeffrey walked in and bowed before the king.

“Lock up Roseline, make sure she doesn’t go out and no one comes in, not even the queen.

I’ll instruct you on when to release her and that would be when I’m about to pass judgement upon her. The king said with so much coldness in his authoritative voice.

“Yes my king.” Jeffrey bowed.

“My king, no please I’m sorry. Don’t do this to me I beg of you.” Roseline wailed and tried to touch the king’s leg but Jeffrey grabbed her, therefore, restricting her.

The king stared at her for a while before walking out of her room.

“Get your hands off me! Don’t touch me!” She rasped angrily and yanked her hand away from Jeffery’s.

She looked at the bracelet with a disgusting and angry look. She stepped aggressively on it before walking to her bed.

She hugged her knees and buried her head in between them and sobbed bitterly.

*******
“Don’t you dare cross that gate!” The king’s authoritative voice made princess Rayna and Isabelle to stop dead on their track.

They both looked towards the direction where the voice had come and they both found the king up in the balcony, staring down at them, with his hands behind his back.

“Rayna, don’t you know the confessor isn’t fit to be going about? She’s still recovering and you wanna take her out probably for her to teach you archery?

She’s going nowhere!” The king said, his eyes directly towards the princess.

“Confessor, meet me in my room.” And with that said, they didn’t see the king again as he had left.

Princess Rayna groaned and exhaled sharply.
“I guess another time my princess.” Isabelle said tiredly. She was glad the king had come to bet rescue. Truth is that, she was feeling weak and didn’t want to accompany the princess but at the same time, she couldn’t say no.

But thank goodness, the king had come to her rescue.

“Yeah.” Princess Rayna mouthed and they both walked back into the palace.

********

“King Ceasar is soon gonna pay you a visit and you’ve got to leave even if it’s for a short while. Just go somewhere with the red sisters and stay for a short while and once the king doesn’t find you, he’d definitely go back.

Then, you would hatch a plan to successfully kill him.” The spy said to king Miley with a bow.

“You hypocrite!” King Miley hissed.
The spy was shocked.
Has he said something wrong that might have offended the king?

“How dare you tell me to go into hiding just because of king Ceasar? I’m not a coward and I’m not afraid of him.

Let him come, I’d be ready to face him. I ain’t scared of him – you should know that by now.” King Miley boasted angrily.

“I’m sorry my Lord.” The spy apologized.

“We should think of a plan to finally get rid of the king and not telling me to hide with the red sisters.” The king said.
“Yes my Lord.”

******

“Why didn’t you tell me?” King Ceasar asked, scrutinizing Isabelle with his eyes.
Isabelle felt uncomfortable with the way he stared at her because it made her feel naked.

On the other hand, she looked confused.
She was kneeling before the king in his room and she didn’t know why he summoned her.

“I don’t understand you my king. Tell you what?” Isabelle voiced out her confusion.

“Why didn’t you tell me prince Kalen has been making advances towards you? Why didn’t you tell me?” The king asked quietly but coldly.

Isabelle looked shocked.
Huh? How did the king find out?

She tried to speak but no words came out.

“I… didn’t…think it was necessary to tell you and I didn’t think you would believe me.” She finally stuttered nervously.

“Really? It wasn’t necessary right? It would have been necessary if he had succeeded in raping you today right?” The king yelled angrily.

“Huh! What?” Isabelle gasped in shock.
The prince was gonna rape her?
