Villains also get Second chance

Chapter 374: apology.

"If you would be the one to open your mouth, then you would be the one to die first. So, you decide what you want. All I want is for you to get the hell out of here."  I shouted and she finally came to her senses. 

"You.. how can you talk to me like that?" she asked, if i had doubt that she was crazy before then i was sure now.

"Why? Are you the royal princess of her majesty? Or you want more insults that you are still standing here?" I asked , tilting my head. And as if on cue both knights came and stood on both of her sides.

"What are you doing? Leave me. I said leave me.." she kept shouting like a banshee.

I just shook my head at her stupidity. How did she even think that she would get the chance to come and insult us. I stood up and left when her voice turned distant.

The first thing I did after entering the room was to call Ian.

"I have urgent work with you." his face turned serious hearing my words.

"I want you to look for the most trusted person you have and then ask him to contact mercenaries. Find a fake disguise and then go with that man and ask merceneries to kill the marquees Wiltshire." his eyes widened the moment words left my mouth.

He looked at me as if I had lost my mind. 

"But your highness.." he wanted to speak further but i shook my head.

"Are you not tired Ian? We have been waiting for justice for years. While that man was trying to kill mre and more people. I have lost my family once, I did not want to lose my family again. I did not want to take the risk now.

Today when I saw Monique lying there coughing blood in her unconscious estate, I felt mortified. I can not explain to you how afraid I was to lose her. To lose the love and trust Marianne was developing.

And all because I did not want to get my hands dirty. The wait is not worth it. All I want is to just get over it now." my voice sounded exhausted. All the tiredness of years filled it, and so did the pain.

He sighed as he looked at me. He must have noticed that I was determined this time.

"I understand your highness." He spoke and left the room. I just closed my eyes as I sat there for a while. The revenge I was waiting for years, who would have thought that it would come knocking this life.

Taking a deep breath I walked towards the treasure room of the palace.

The knights bowed looking at me.

"Open the door." They both nodded and opened the room where I hardly go.

The room was filled with boxes. Many boxes were filled with gold coins. A few of them were filled with rare jewels and the last few have the papers containing the details of the estate and properties that I had. I stood there in the middle of it with complicated feelings. 

I knew that I was leaving a big responsibility for hers but this power would also protect her from the political pressures. With that thought I toughen my heart and make my will.

I took out an empty paper and wrote down all the details of the jewels and properties I had. And then I created my will, passing everything to Killian and Marianne equally.

A drop of tear fell on the parchment while writing it. For the first time I was feeling afraid of losing them. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath as I continued to make the will.

How much time had passed, when I finally came back to my senses. The will was ready long ago. I left the room with the parchment in my hand.

The whole palace was empty without them. I reached my office and locked the cupboard which kept the will safe. When the knights knocked the room.

"Come in"

"Your highness"

"Did she leave or you have to throw her out?" I asked with the same anger again, no matter how much I tried, even her name was making me sick now.

"Your highness. The lady left when we escorted her out of the palace." they were hesitant with the reply but i did not care. 

"Good, next time when she comes to visit, ask her to wait in the common area. I will punish each and everyone of you if she enters my chamber or personal garden again." my voice was authoritative and they shivered but nodded their heads.

"Yes, your highness."

"Go and send Francis in"

"Yes, your highness"

"Your highness" the man walked in wiping the sweat from his forehead.

"Did you succeed in spreading the rumors?" as if he was already expecting this. He nodded his head and passed me the letter.

"Your highness, I have spread my trusted people as fake servants all over the town and nearby places. Especially in the areas where the business of Marquees wiltshire is eminent. It will still take two to three days to spread the news. If it spread too fast then people would be suspicious of it. I plead with you to give me some more time.`` The man was shivering like the dried leaf in a storm.

"Three days. That is all I have to give you. Try other underhanded means, i did not care. I just want the result. Or else I will make sure you will be the next one on guillotine." his face turned ashen at my reply and he nodded his head like a rattle drum and bowed his head.

"Now are you waiting for a special request to leave?" I asked the man who nodded but then shook his head and then nodded again making me even more annoyed.

"Francis"

"I.. I apologize to my lord. But there is another matter that need your attention"
