Chapter 194
THE JUDGMENT DAY
FIRA’S POV
At night, Pyro had a surprise with me at the garden. It was just a small table, a piano and some food. Just a simple date. He was doing his best to make me calm for the whole day because the decision was about to come.
“I just want to sing and play piano with you by my side.” He guided me to rest on the wooden chair in front of the piano.
“What will be the song?”
“As usual, my favorite song. Maybe one of these days, I can complete my song for you.” He started to hit the keys.
“You’re extra sweet today.” I shut my eyes as he began to sing as the sound of a piano could be heard. It took him so long to play the repetitive rhythm, but soothing a heart.
We just stopped when the beautiful melody became horrible when someone hit the other keys. It was Hali.
“What do you need?” Pyro was wrinkling his forehead while glaring at Hali.
“I heard the Ministers talking. They are planning to kill your daughter.” Hali’s emotion was nothing.
“No way. Over my dead body.” Pyro’s hand clenched.
“Tell Zephyrus to not bring Ember back until all are unsettled.” Hali walked to the table, grabbed a grape and bit it.
“Not my daughter.” I highlighted every syllable. “They will suffer.” I clenched my hand.
“That’s the spirit.” The smirk on Hali’s lips formed. “Plan wisely. They are talking about execution.”
“It’s easier to burn them than fight. They would not listen.” Pyro was walking at the table. “Come, Dearest. Let’s eat.”
I went to him and joined him eating. We planned for what was the best thing to do.
*****
I was biting my lips as I was walking on the long red carpet. All of the officials were here. This time was judgment day. They would ask me a question and I would answer it. I sat at the center. I could see all of them were glaring at me as if I did something wrong.
Yeah, I did wrong! What are you thinking, Fira? Focus.
“Let’s begin the judgment.” The announcer’s voice echoed in the hall.
Pyro and the other kings were at the other side, watching. They were all present except for Zephyrus. He was in the city with my child. They just gave them an alibi that Zephyrus was sick so he could not come.
“She is Fira Hayes. The former omega of the Elemental Kingdom, but now the Luna of the Red Moon Pack. She committed adultery to Alpha Janus with his lover, the Alpha King of Fire.” The spokesman read the words in the scroll. “They have one child. It is a girl named Ember. Today is the day of sentencing the right judgment for her wrongdoing.” He paused a little and looked around. “The questioning begins.”
I cleared my throat as the trembling of my body could be felt. They all looked at me with sharpness. I crossed my thighs to avoid myself peeing.
Crap! I feel like I am in horror movies where everyone is a zombie.
Their eyes were as if hungry for blood and wanting to bite me.
“Why did you marry Alpha Janus if you had a child with King Fire?” The Minister of Finance asked.
“For the safety of my father, Eyrom. Alpha Janus got him out of the Dungeon.”
“Why is your father at the Dungeon? Is he a criminal?” The other one asked.
“No. He never did anything wrong. Someone ordered him to steal the crown. Only to find out, it’s Carter.” The tears in my eyes were welling up, but I was prohibited to sob.
I should be strong.
“Why have you had an affair with the Alpha King of Fire? Are you a moron for not knowing the consequences?”
“I love him. And I’m not a moron. I just can’t prevent my feelings for him from growing.”
“Is it because of s*x is tasty?” The sarcasm was written at the lips of the Minister of Finance.
Pyro could not take it anymore. He stood up and shouted. Objection! He is perverting the accuser!” He glared at the man and continued. “It’s out of the question!”
“We agreed!” I had a sigh of relief when they screamed, agreeing to Pyro.
The Finance Minister sat down. “Apology.” The questioning continued.
“Is Ember’s real father is King Fire?”
“Yes.”
“Since when did your affair start?”
“It’s when I was卭mega at the kingdom.”
The rumors began to be loud. They had many perceptions about me and Pyro. Some were judging with no basis at all. It was either I was a bad person, bad lady or whatsoever.
“What a wh*re.”
“Are you just good at sucking d*ck?”
“Funny. Let me try you.”
The loud commotion stopped when the certain of the in front of them swallowed by the flames. I looked at Pyro. Her eyes were burning in fire.
“If you can’t respect my woman. Get out of the hall!” Pyro hit the table. It had a crack that could be heard in the whole area.
Raiden stood up. He had no emotion in his face. All I could see was a pure cold look. “What kind of attitude is that? According to the book of the Elemental Kingdom, the Ministers should act according to their position with honor and dignity. With respect to all the people in this hall. This is not a joke time. It’s a serious matter and if you can’t be serious?” The lightning in the sky filled our ears, “move out and never come back.”
They all began to shut their mouths. The Alpha Kings are the most powerful people in our world. If they combined together, they could kill each of them without any mercy.
“Tsk.” Hali stood up with the annoyance in his face. “Water.” He poured water on the fire that Pyro caused. “Don’t make me annoyed or I’ll make the hall plenty of water.”
I found it cool. All of them had a capability. If you did not know them, you must be scared. I was so lucky to have them in my life.
“Fira Hayes, is it true that you seduce the Alpha King of Fire to get power?” One of the ladies of the kingdom asked.
“No.” I shook my head as an assurance that there was nothing happened like that. “Like what I said I love him and I don’t care about power. I’m powerful in my own ways. I can be brave on my own without the help of anyone.”
“Do you have a knowledge that the first-born princess should die?”
A smirk had formed in my lips. “If you have a girl child and she needs to die, what would you do?” Instead of answering, I gave her another question. She was one of the ladies of the kingdom.
I waited for her to answer my question, but she did not say anything.
“Parents can’t let their child die without fighting for them. Expect that before your hands touch my daughter, my claws slash you.” I gave them a deadly look. “Yes, I was omega before who I was not allowed to fight. Put in my mind, I am now the?” I stood up and showed them how brave I was. “I am the Luna of the Red Moon Pack.”
The silence filled the air. It was like all of their braveness before we started the judgment blew by the air.
“You can say whatever you want to say to me. You can punish me, but when my daughter gets involved. I’m gonna fight for her.” I looked at them, one by one.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
“Your Majesty, no matter what status you were. You remain the rule breaker. I raised the execution for you and your daughter.” The Minister of Finance talked. He was staring at me as if this was all a game for him. Pyro was right even if his father gave us the blessing to marry each other. There would still be ministers to consider.
“Execution!”
“Execution!”
“Execution!”
That was repeated in my head over and over again. They were shouting. I gazed around and saw that everyone was agreeing. I glanced at Pyro, he nodded his head.
I cleared my throat and grabbed plenty of air to calm myself.
“Can you卐xecute the heir in my womb?”
Silence.
