His Witch Queen-Chapter 124: Royal Jail

"But earlier you said it will be painful for you. Let me help you with this completely." Cyrus was persistent and tight with his words but they aren’t supported by Alice even a bit.

She immediately shook her head, to lift her eyes up and stare at his face, "Cyrus, I told you that I can do it by myself. Just.. give it to me." And immediately, Alice had snatched the gown from his hand to wear the rest of it.

Thankfully, Cyrus hadn’t even peeked through his eyes. "You can open up your eyes." Alice finally commented and on her orders, he opened them to see her fully dressed.

But then, the bulge in his throat had moved when he gulped. The sudden lining of her gown was too clear to see her fluffy body too beautiful.

Just from the simple gaze, he could trace her body parts...

’Damn You, Cyrus. Stop thinking all of this...’ this was the last thing to keep in mind for now and control his urges.

While his dirty mind was planning to move to the other side, he put a stamp on it. Unbelievably, the Lady whom he was wed to out of nowhere, had started to appear more radiant than ever.

But since he stood there without uttering a single word, it gave Alice mixed feelings, "Cyrus... you.. can do the rest of the work. Ask the maids to come when they get free."

"But it is necessary to apply some herbs on your foot too," Cyrus commented and without letting her dig any other response to him, he straightaway walked to the other side of the chamber to pull out the drawers.

Out of them, he brought out a few of the herbs which were still unknown to Alice.

Seemingly, Cyrus had better knowledge regarding this

Coming closer to her side again, Cyrus took the seat near her legs. There, he made some space to sit nearly as her heart ragged again.

This time Alice had no idea what he was up to at all.

But his next step made the heat supply straight to her cheeks. Cyrus pulled the gown slightly up from her legs at a moderate level.

Taking some herbs in his hand, Cyrus started to rub the wounded area with his tender hands. Suddenly, the electric current had passed through her body, making Alice’s head go numb

All the other body parts went out of control to even react. "Cyrus...."

"Sh..this will give you relaxation. Let me do this for you." Cyrus held no ill intentions but there was no denying that she was getting hesitant.

The close proximity was all new. She never discovered another man getting so cozy with her.

Never ever has any other man seen her with the ill intention either. She was all brought up in such a protective way to never realize what else can happen between a man and woman....

At the same time, while Cyrus’s entire concentration was devoured on her foot, massaging it brought a hint of devious yet relaxed and Hippocratic smile that graced the corner of his lips.

Something wicked caught his mind, and it didn’t go unnoticed from Alice’s sight, "What are you thinking about, Cyrus?"

"Nothing..."

"You are! Tell me the truth!"

Alice’s mind was persistent since she caught the gaze too well. At the right time, it made her understand that his brain was also getting wrapped around the thunder of the thoughts.

Whereas, Prince Cyrus didn’t give her any beneficial answer.

She waited for him to respond but in return, there was no such response. It seriously made her wonder, but curiosity got the better of her. "Cyrus..."

"Ouch!" And suddenly the sharp pain rose to her head like any other needle being swept across her nerves. "I’m sorry. I just applied the herbs to the exact wound. I think it is necessary..so it will pain a bit but it will heal you."

Alice didn’t mutter but waited for him to complete what he did.

As the sudden incident reduced her mind from the earlier question and she simply waited for him to complete what he was doing.

And as the Crowned Prince realized that she had easily forgotten about the question, it made the relief wash over his head. ’It is better for you to not know about my dirty thoughts about you, Princess..’ and being a man, those were out of control... especially for a lady like her, who was his beloved wife now.

How bad can his luck be? He was forbidden to touch his beloved wife...

And as the work was done by him, Cyrus got up from the place to keep the rest of the herbs again in the drawer.

Then, he pulled her gown back to cover her foot and pulled the blanket on her body.

"You should rest now. I have some work so I will be coming out.."

"Alright.." Alice didn’t object or raise questions, but simply left whenever he wanted to.

And as she saw him walking out the chamber, Alice too drifted into the deep slumber without realizing what was bewitching in the rest of the castle after the uproar of the queen...

....

In the King’s chamber, Elizabeth stood at the entrance. With her lowered and blinked eyes, she only gaze at the back of the King, to find her heart hammering. "My King..shall step inside?"

"Do you need permission after what you have done today?" a sarcastic taunt in her direction didn’t bother her much.

She had successfully stepped inside the chamber to find herself in the middle of the entire place.

While Elizabeth didn’t say a single word, she kept her head down but waited for the King to question, which he did too, "What are you here for?"

"His Highness, I know....you are highly disappointed in my doings. But that was simply..the last thing I did. I promise my King that nothing such incident will occur in the future. This promise holds my entire life for you." Elizabeth tried to use the most soothing words to lure the King.

As she looked at the king with puppy-filled eyes, the urge and tenderness started to spread. Right now, Elizabeth appeared to be unharmed, the most delicate lady ever...

However, when King turned around, instead of gazing at her with sympathy, there was the icy cold horror in those eyes which automatically made Elizabeth’s back straight. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"His Highness.."

"Elizabeth, you haven’t only disturbed me today but ruined my reputation in front of the entire court! Do you understand the meaning of this?"

How can she understand what it meant for the king? The respect which he had earned over the years, had been put at risk just because of her doing. "I..I..had no intention, His Highness..this just happened.."

"Yet you did it and you can’t deny that. You were even caught red-handedly with a bottle of poison. Like, who the hell does keep the bottle of poison within the chamber? Were you out of your mind while executing this?"

"Or your overconfident attitude made you turn a blind eye to all the possibilities of you being caught. You didn’t even think about me, my empire, my late Queen... Then, don’t expect me to do any well-wishing for you as well."

King Almen’s hardened voice was proof that he was fuming. The veins on his neck were getting enrolled and there was no way to even get them out.

Whereas, Elizabeth’s heart only jolted back. Despite asking the begging from him, King Almen’s distant attitude gave her no hope in the middle of the darkness.

However, what shocked her was the next order the King took her back, "Soldiers! Come here! General Ryan!"

The sudden yell made the general who was standing at the entrance step inside the personal chamber of the King. For a minute, his eyes startled at the sight. Queen Elizabeth was almost sobbing in her guilt whereas, King didn’t spare her what she wished for

For a minute, another anger rose through his mind. It was halting yet he managed to tame the same through his composure and calm

He first all, bowed to the King and then lifted his head to ask, "Any orders for me, King? Do you need my assistance?"

"I have an order for you to carry out at this moment for me. And I mean, everyone should obey these orders. Afterward, send the word out to the public as well.." saying this to general Ryan, King Almen averted his eyes in Elizabeth’s direction before continuing, "... the Entire Kingdom should know that King Almen..doesn’t show mercy to any culprit..irrespective of their status..."

"What are the orders for me, King Almen?"

King Almen did not shift his gaze from the queen before he had finally given the final ultimate to be executed for her.

"Handcuff Lady Elizabeth and take her to the Royal Jail. She will....live there as her punishment, as long as I want.."
