The Master’s Third Wife Episode 33

Prince Berlin walked into the room, his lips shaking as he stared at his sister’s corpse lying there on the bed. Her face had gone white and pale already, so obvious she was really nothing but a corpse at that moment.

He whimpered, a tear dropping from his eye as he got to the bed and lifted her head to rest on his chest.

“Nivea…” His voice was shaking.
“I’m so sorry…. I’m so sorry”.

Yes, he was so sorry because he killed his own sister; he poisoned his own sister.

Hot tears gushed down his cheeks; tears filled with pain and regrets. He never wanted to do it. The drink was meant for Kaylan. Damn it! It was meant for Kaylan, not his sister. Why the hell did she have to be the one to drink it huh?

He wept more with her head still on his chest. Oh! If only he could have turn back the hands of time. If only he could reverse everything and make this moment nothing but a dream. So many regrets….so many.

It was Xander! He wanted to punish him for killing his sister – which had been his second wife.

He didn’t know exactly how she died, but he’d been against the marriage from the onset and tried convincing his sister not to get married to Xander, but she wouldn’t listen. And few months later, she ended up dead! Dead- just like his first wife

He blamed Xander for her death and vowed to make him pay. And when he heard he was coming to the party with his third wife, he decided to poison her and get rid of her so Xander remains single. But look what happened…his own sister fell victim to it. Why huh? Why did she drink what wasn’t meant for her?? Why on Earth was she with Kaylan in the first place?

“Oh Nivea…’ he wept excruciatingly. I’m so sorry, I’m deeply sorry. Please… forgive me”. His hands were literally shaking.

He couldn’t believe he’d lost two of his sisters…all because of Xander…!
Oh! Deep anger and hatred ran through him. He needed to make them pay.

After a while, he laid her back on the need and walked out of the room. And getting outside, he found the King and Queen, the royal Physician, prince Noah and some members of the cabinet. Some guards were there as well and the Physician held a cup with him.

“So, the drink was really poisoned?” The King asked, staring keenly at the cup which the physician held.

“Yes, your highness. This was the cup the princess drank from and I’ve examined it and confirmed she was indeed, poisoned”. The physician replied.

“But good saviors! Why would Lord Xander’s wife do such a thing?? Why would she poison Nivea?”

“Because they’re all evil” Prince Berlin answered from where he stood, drawing all attention to himself.
“She’s just like her husband’ and they deserve to pay for what they did to my sister”.

He left the door blearily and walked towards them.

They took my first sister and went free, I’m not letting them go free this time around”. He added and just then, a new presence arrived – Lord Xander and his guards.

His burning eyes had a lot of questions as he marched towards them, the sound of his boots discerning a lot of authority.
Where has he been the whole time?

All eyes stared at him, the other guards bowing in respect as he walked past them. And finally, he was standing in front of the “royal” gathering.

“Your Highness” he lowered his gaze a little to the King.
“I’m hearing some disturbing rumours about my wife and wish to know what is going on”.

Silence. Then,

“Your WIFE killed my sister” Prince Berlin replied, his voice sounding so venonemous.

Xander looked at him.

“And by kill, you mean….?” He purposely left a blank space.

“She poisoned the princess, My Lord” the physician replied, going closer to him with the cup.

“Your wife and the princess was sitting together at the festival. Princess Nivea had requested for a drink and when her maid left to get it for her, your wife offered her own drink which the princess drank and died few minutes later” he explained.

For some seconds, Xander was silent, just staring down at the floor and trying to comprehend the whole thing.

“Let me get this straight” he scoffed and lifted his head to look at them.

“My wife was given a drink by one of your people, then she gave the same drink to princess Nivea who after drinking it, died because she was poisoned. Are you toiling with me or something?”
No one said anything, then he exhaled deeply .

“Where’s princess Kaylan?” He asked

“In the dungeon – where she should be” prince Berlin immediately, daring Xander to glare at him

But Xander didn’t just glare at him as his eyes glinted as well

“You kept my wife….in a dungeon?” He asked, his voice sounding so cold.

“She needs to be there, Xander – at least for now, until the whole issue is resolved and we know what really happened The King said.

“If this is a joke, your Highness, then it’s not funny. Bring Princess Kaylan out of the dungeon – now”.

“But you can’t just take her away” one of the cabinet members said, angrily. “she came over to our land and killed one of our wives. She deserves the death penalty!”

It happened so fast. In a swift turn, Xander withdrew a sword from the sheath of one of his guards, sliced it through the air and cut across the man’s neck.

A scream erupted as the head came rolling down to the floor, followed by the body which dropped right immediately.

“Arghhh!!!” The Queen screamed again, recoiling back in fear.
Shock filled the eyes of everyone present – including Prince Berlin.

But Lord Xander stood unflinched, with the sword dripping with blood in his hand.
And in a husky voice, he said;

“You have 15 seconds to provide my wife or more heads will roll”.

Lord Xander stood unflinched, with the sword dripping with blood in his hand.
And in a husky voice, he said;
“You have 15 seconds to provide my wife or more heads will roll”.

Surprise filled the faces of everyone present as they didn’t expect such act from Xander. They were talking about the death of an important person and he just caused the death of another??

Silence took over for the next few minutes, but not until Berlin got really angry.

“How dare you?!!” He roared and tried going at him, but Prince Noah was quick enough to hold him.
He knew Xander wouldn’t hesitate to chop off his head as well and he didn’t want that to happen.

And nobody could attack him because they knew at that moment, he could kill everyone of them in the room and walk out like nothing ever happened.

“Guards!” The King suddenly called and two guards scurried from the door to where he was

“Your Highness!”.

“Go to the dungeon and release the princess” he ordered and the guards bowed and left immediately.

Prince Berlin was boiling with anger, terribly. Damn it! He needed someone to pay!

“This isn’t over! It isn’t over!” He pointed a finger at Xander, then turned around and left.

Noah could notice how Xander’s fist tightned around the sword he held and it was obvious he’d have used it on Berlin if he’d taken one more step closer.

Xander stared at the King, his eyes so damn red. And dropping the sword on the floor, he turned around and left.

Kaylan was so worried as she paced tho and fro in the dungeon, wondering what could be going on out there. She still couldn’t believe Princess Nivea was dead; someone she’d been with a while ago.

But….if the drink she’d given to Nivea was really poisoned, then it meant The poison was meant for her, right? Yes! Because a maid had served the drink to her, but she didn’t take It before handing it to Nivea some minutes later. And now…Nivea was dead. Goodness! Could it be possible someone had made an attempt on her life?? Someone had tried to kill her?? But who could that be and why?

If she hadn’t given that drink to Nivea and had taken it instead, so she’d have been the one in her place? She’d have been the one dead at that moment?? For God’s sake! Who could this be??

More fear gripped her and shortly, she heard footsteps and turned to see two guards walking towards her.
They got to her cell and opened the gate.

“Come out, princess” one of them said, making Kaylan’s eyes beam.
She was being released???

She stared suspiciously at them for a while, then without further hesitation, quickly rushed out of the cell.

The guards directed and took her to the carriage where Xander was already waiting. Goodness!! She was really being released! What happened? Has everything being sorted out already?

She hurried into the carriage and took a seat beside him.

“My…My Lord” she stuttered.
“I didn’t do it. I didn’t do what they accused me of”

Xander said nothing – not immediately.

The guard started the carriage and quickly, they took off.

“You’re not saying anything” Kaylan grouse, feeling worried he might actually not believe her.

And in his usual cold tone, he replied:
“I know”.

********************

Prince Berlin wasn’t ready to give up without a fight. He was only trying to get revenge for his sister but only lost another in the process. And it was all because of Lord Xander.

Well…. he knew exactly what to do. A better way to get rid of the Master himself – once and for all.

The Master’s Third Wife Episode 31

Princess Nivea didn’t even realize she was sitting beside Lord Xander’s wife. Her mood was so ruined, it didn’t occur to her – not at all.

Almost immediately, her personal maid arrived, whispered something into her ears before standing behind her.

Kaylan, on the other hand, was also silent and kept wondering where Xander could’ve been. Where did he go to, leaving her all alone over there?

Well, why should she even care? She was sure nothing would’ve changed if he was there.

She just continued watching the activities and dance entertainment going on at the party and shortly, she heard the lady beside her sniffle.huh?

She turned quickly to have a look and notice she was wiping her face.

“Are you… crying?” She asked, surprised, and Nivea shook her head.

“I’m not” she shook her head ruefully without looking at her.

But Kaylan wasn’t convinced and knew she was lying.

“What’s the problem? I don’t think it’s right to cry on a day like this”.she persisted and Nivea decided to look at her.
And as soon as she did, her brows furrjews in front surprise.

“Hold on… Aren’t you Kaylan? Lord Xander’s wife?” She asked and Kaylan wondered how she knew her.

“Yes, I am” she nodded and the bemusement on Nivea’s face increased.

“Wow. I had no idea. Where’s Lord Xander?” She looked around, noting he should be there with her.
Her tears had literally dried up

“I…. I don’t know. He was here with me, but all of a sudden, he just left” Kaylan replied and Nivea nodded and stared away

But…

“You sound like you know Lord Xander… closely?” Kaylan asked and Nivea looked at her again.

“I do. My sister was his second wife”. She answered with a frail smile and Kaylan’s eyes dimmed

Oh… wow! That means, her sister was dead, right?

Nivea sniffed and took in a deep breath.

“Oh; i need a drink” she muttered tiredly and turned to her maid.

“Get me a drink, Amada”.

“Yes, my princess” the lady bowed and left immediately

“Um… you can have mine if you want. I’m not in a hurry to drink” Kaylan said and Nivea who was really thirsty, didn’t wait to consider it.

“Thank you” she muttered tiredly and took the warm drink, sipping from it.
It was just what she wanted and without hesitation, she took in more gulps.
“but are you sure you’re fine? You know … you were crying a while ago” Kaylan said and Nivea managed a smile.

“I’m fine dear. You shouldn’t worry about me. I’ll be fine” she answered weakly.

Nivea’s maid returned not long after and noticed her princess was already making use of Kaylan’s drink. So, she handed the new drink to Kaylan instead

She was about asking Nivea a question when suddenly, the party drums stopped beating and all eyes diverted to the center of the stage. It was obvious something else wanted to take place.

There was a very huge man standing there, so many beads and marks around him.

“Welcome, Esteemed Kings, Queens, rulers, princesses and all invited guests of this heart warming festival” he began, spreading his arms apart
“We understand how busy you are and appreciate the efforts and sacrifices you’ve put in just to be present here

“As we all know, it’s a great day for the people of the Sambona as we’ve finally gotten an heir to the throne after waiting for so many years – so many years. The goddess of fertility decided to smile on us. The naming will be done soon enough, but for now, what’s a Royal festival without some sword entertainment, heh?”

There was a round of laughters.

“And definitely, this festival won’t be anywhere different. So, we’ll be calling on some skilled men to keep us entertained”.

He looked around and just then, two well built men stepped out with swords in their hands

“Urgh! I hate this” Nivea groused, looking away from the scene and Kaylan looked at her.

“But why? Watching a sword fight shouldn’t really be a big deal. As a matter of fact, I love it!” She laughed excitedly.

Nivea shurgged and drank from her cup and just then, the boys started fighting

Kaylan wanted to watch the fight, but something more interesting popped up.

“Um…. Princess Nivea”, she called, earning the princess’ attention

“Can I ask you a question, please?”

“Of course. What is it?” Nivea asked genially, giving her the go ahead
Kaylan was really hoping her question wouldn’t hurt her

“Your sister… the one that was married to Lord Xander, how did she die?”

Nivea’s hand shook immediately, although it was only for a second, but Kaylan was smart enough to notice it.

She looked at her.
“Why asking?”

“Um… nothing really. It’s just that… I’ve been really curious for sometime now, wondering why Lord Xander’s two wives are dead. Although, there’s been some rumors about it, but I don’t even know which to believe anymore. So, if you could just tell me …” She purposely paused, noticing the bleak look on Nivea’s face

Nivea sighed pathetically and took some more gulps from her glass.

“About that ..” she exhaled deeply
“I only have one advise for you – don’t get pregnant for Xander”.

Cold waves rushed through Kaylan’s spine as soon as she said those words. Huh?? What’s she talking about??

Shock took over her and just when she tried asking a question, she got interrupted by Nivea who bursted into a cranky cough

“My princess! Are you alright?” The maid behind her asked as she touched her shoulder

But Nivea couldn’t say a word, only coughed more.

“Princess?” Kalyan coughed, surprised. . Why was she suddenly coughing?

“I think you should get her some water” she said to the maid who quickly left without hesitation.

Nivea placed her hand on her chest, still coughing profusely.

“Kaylan ..” she tried to call out and just then, blood spilled out from her mouth.
The scene was already drawing attention from the people around

“Nivea!” Kaylan called in shock as she hit the floor.
