chapter 3

...Eileen came back to the castle to the dining room. Food was served, but king Paul was nowhere to be seen....

..."Where's the king?"she questioned the maids....

..."My queen, his Majesty moved out."one of the maids answered....

..."Where exactly did he go to?"...

..."He didn't say where he was going my Queen."...

...This angered Eileen the more. 'At this late hour, where could he have gone?' Eileen questioned herself....

......................

..."My love, you had abandoned me for awhile." lady Marie said as she lay her head in king Paul's chest....

..."how can I forget you my dear. You know I love you so much."...

..."Hmm...are you sure my king?"...

..."Of course my darling, let me kiss you to prove it." he said kissing her forehead....

..."Anyway how far with the case you're handling?"...

..."I did just as you suggested and indeed it was the best method to deal with those creatures.I should listen more to you in the future."...

..."Oh you flatter me my king."...

..."Of course you deserve to be flattered."...

..."So what do you plan on doing next?"...

..."What do you have in mind my dear?"...

..."From the people's perspective I think they wouldn't want to have some of that kind around, they would be scared. so I think an execution would be the best option in order to calm the People's anger "...

..."Hmmm...."...

..."I mean it wouldn't be necessary to keep her around. She would only pose as a threat don't you think so?"...

..."You're right indeed. Tomorrow we shall hold the execution at the city hall and kiss the witch clan goodbye."...

..."You're the best my king, you're wise and care about your people."...

......................

...early the next morning, Eileen walks in the dining room and finds King Paul busy chewing on his meal cheerfully....

..."you seem to be in a good mood."...

..."Is it a crime if I'm happy?"...

..."Where were you last night?"...

..."I went out for a walk. Things have been tight lately so I had to cool off."...

..."Don't lie to me Paul, is it that woman again. Did you go see her?"...

..."Eileen I just explained what happened, what more do you want to hear?"...

..."You lier of a king! You better straighten up because I don't wish my son to have a cheating man for a father." Eileen said seriously and rose to leave the table....

...Later in the day,Joanna was brought out from the prison cells into her metal cage and driven to the city hall as everyone shouted cursing words and threw evey kind of disgusting thing to her, but Joanna didn't flinch because the pain that had been inflicted upon her couldn't compare to the words and rubbish that was thrown to her. She could only think of her daughter and remember her soft hands let going of her arm. At this point she couldn't even tell if she was alive or dead....

...They reached the city hall, Eileen and Paul where seat up the stage and the gathered people where all shouting,'kill her!'...

...Joanna was brought down the cage to the stage and tired to the pole. In a few minutes King Paul raised from his seat and moved to the center of the stage....

..."Calm down my people, calm down. it's a good day today for we have reached the end of all our miseries today. Finally we have no more reason to worry of our children dying, our crops dry and all those other disasters. Today we mark the end of all that."...

..."Yey!kill her." the people shouted....

..."You have to worry no more for I your king will solve every problem that you carry."...

...Gabriela struggled to pass through the crowd of people in order for her to have a clear view. She looked around and moved towards a pole where she could climb to have a clear view. She climbed the pole and she could clearly see how brutally they had treated her mother. She couldn't help but sob....

...Lady Marie couldn't miss this event for the world. She was around. She stood by and watched Joanna. She made sure she stood where she could see her easily and indeed Joanna saw her. She couldn't be mistaken of her sister's face, this is when it hit her hard when she realized that everything that was happening was because of her, her sister was the person she was looking for all this time. Tears rolled down her eyes but all the sudden bursted out into laughter, she laughed and laughed out hard that king Paul paused in his speech. Everyone looked at her quietly for a while until she said out,...

" you will live to regret this all your life!" she shouted.

...No one knew whom she was talking to but lady Marie whose expression had now changed to anger with fear knew the message was to her....

..."Has she fallen mad? Or is she cursing us? Execute her immediately." a lady shouted out and the others followed....

...King Paul raised his had as a gesture and the guards untied Joanna to the execution table. Her head was laid and as she struggled, she saw her daughter....

..."My dear Gabriela." she said struggling....

..." Mother, no..." Gabriela sobbed terribly....

...The guard held a large sword and in no seconds Joanna's head was cut off....

^^^"moth....!"Gabriela shouted but before she could finish her mouth was shut and carried away from the crowd.^^^
