Chapter 118
Edna
After the last word dropped from Jonathan's lips, he presented a huge tablet to the
King.
There was a very clear picture on the tablet screen.
I glanced at it. It was supposed to be a brief glance.
My shocked eyes glued itself to the screen. The person on the screen was me.
I couldn't control my happiness.
I don't know how Jonathan got a picture of me. I was just ecstatic.
I wasn't directly facing Jonathan so he didn't see the similarities I had with the picture on the tablet screen.
I faced him fully with my heart in my throat. I took a small step forward.
Suddenly, the King's hand wrapped around my neck.
He acted fast. I looked at him with surprise.
His face was as dark as the bottom of a charcoal pot. His fingers dug into my neck due
to the force behind his actions.
This unplanned scenerio gave Jonathan the chance to see my appearance fully.
"Your majesty, you don't have to do too much work. The person I am looking for is right here." Jonathan said.
The veil on my head didn't hide my appearance. The beautiful marks on my face didn't hide anything either.
After Jonathan finished speaking, the king didn't release me.
King Ricard's eyes chilled.
Jonathan's eyes narrowed, "King Ricard, what do you mean by this?"
The king looked at me with poison in his eyes, "So, you were lying all along?"
"I didn't lie." I managed to drag those words out of my pinched throat.
The king laughed but there was no amusement in his eyes.
"You say you didn't lie but you told us your name Sophia. Why am I hearing that your name is Edna now?" The king questioned.
"That was just a precaution." I replied, "From the look of things, that precaution was really needed."
"Your majesty, I don't understand what is going on here. Are you going to release this person or not? This person is my King's person." Jonathan chipped in.
Gasps rang out from the crowd. The shock was palpable.
The King's eyes became bloodshot, "So, Killian is setting his eyes on my people?"
"King Ricard, this lady isn't part of your people. She landed in your hands because of a freak accident." Jonathan replied.
Suddenly, the king started to breath heavily.
He looked like someone was pinching his neck.
His hands loosened around my neck.
He looked at Jonathan with anger, "What did you just do?"
Jonathan shook his head nonchalantly, "I didn't do anything. If I did something, things wouldn't be as calm as it is now."
"Stop lying! I am sure you used your superpower to strangle my neck because of the way I am holding Edna." The King retorted.
His words refreshed my memory.
I could remember when I had not landed on Killian's planet yet. He made a mark on my neck.
The Mark didn't do its intended purpose so I forgot about it.
If it worked, I wouldn't have to go through so much suffering.
Brilliant light returned to my eyes.
Was the mark finally activating?
Jonathan didn't look like he was lying.
I have so many questions.
If the mark was really behind what happened to the King, why did it remain still in the past?
Why was it working now?
"Guards!" The King screamed at the top of his lungs.
The echoes of his voice hadn't died away yet before the water around began to twist violently.
An uncountable number of soldiers surrounded the venue of the wedding.

They brought weapons and machinery. They looked like they were ready to turn
Jonathan into a sieve with bullets.
My heart skipped a beat.
Why did Jonathan come alone?
I thought the guard that came to report Jonathan's arrival said the people that came
from the surface was strong?
Would I really be able to leave here?
The king had completely fallen out with me.
His constant smile wasn't on his face anymore. He was looking at Jonathan eye coldly.
I don't even want to imagine what I would go through in his hands if Jonathan failed to bring me away.
"Your majesty, are you trying to start a war?" Jonathan smiled.
The smile didn't reach his eyes though.
King Ricard responded, "That depends on your next actions. Are you going to turn
around and leave this place unarmed or would you stay and die?"noveldrama
"Your majesty, you are not thinking I am the only one that came to this place, are you?" Jonathan questioned.
The look in King Ricard's face changed, "What do you mean?"
The sounds of clicks blanketed everywhere.
Red dots landed on Jonathan's body.
"I mean exactly what those words are supposed to mean. Your majesty, let Edna go and everything would be peaceful. Don't forget who is behind me." Jonathan said.
"I want to see what you can do. It seems Killian had forgotten that he can't reach his hands into the ocean. We are not under his totalitarian control." The king responded.
His hands left my neck. Before I could blink or run in Jonathan's direction, the king threw me towards the thickest part of the gathered guards.
"Take her to the dungeon. I want to see if Killian would really have a fight with my empire because of a woman." The king instructed before turning to Jonathan, "You still have the chance to leave."
The guards that caught me nodded.
A black bag covered my head. The guards started dragging towards an unknown destination.
I was both happy and sad.
I was happy that Killian found me. I don't know how he managed to do it.

These past few weeks, my location had been erratic.
Besides, I knew Jelena would have tried her best to hide where I went.
Did Killian discover madam Tayo?
Did he know everything?
I was sad because I wasn't able to meet Killian today.
After covering some distance, the guards escorting me finally stopped.
The black bag on my head was removed. I didn't have the chance to survey my
surroundings before one of the guards pushed me.
I stumbled forward.
Wherever they were pushing me towards wouldn't be good. I fixed my posture and turned around quickly.
I wasn't fast enough though. The moment I stumbled forward, the guards shut the
door.
Because of their actions, the time to observe my surroundings appeared.
I was in a dark and dreary dungeon cell. Dripping sounds came from an unknown
place.
There was very small window on the wall facing the door. The door of this cell was the classic iron bars.
The bars at the entrance looked like an upgraded version of aetal though.
I rushed to the door. My hands wrapped around the sturdy bars.
The guards stepped away.
"I want to speak to your king." I said.
The guards didn't reply. They ignored me and left.
The dripping sound was disturbing my mental state.
The joy I felt after knowing that Killian knew where I was reduced.
I continued looking out of the cell.
There wasn't anything I could do right now. I just had to wait to see how things turn
out.
I didn't want to wait. The cursed anklet on me made me vulnerable.
