Chapter 453 LIES
To say that Ivan was shocked beyond words is an understatement. He tried to get up from the group, but it was difficult to move with his ankles and wrists tightly tied. However, he could see his mother beside him. He could also see Damon, his uncle, and his cousin. And he could also see her. Tyra. And the men all around her.
"What... is going on here?" He asked in disbelief.
"Why do you look like this? Why am I here like this? WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?" He bellowed and began to cough when it felt like his throat was going to tear from the dryness.
Tyra scoffed in amusement before glancing at the rogue beside Ivan, who roughly picked him up and made him kneel.
"YOU STUPID OMEGA WENCH!" Ivan yelled at her as his dark eyes glared at her. Even though his voice was hoarse and broken, he still managed to show how enraged he was.
"HOW DARE YOU TREAT YOUR PRINCE LIKE THIS?" He looked around.
"WHERE IS HAROLD? WHERE IS THAT BASTARD THAT LET THEM ARREST ME—" His eyes fell on Alicia, and he looked like he was ready to pounce on her for whatever Alicia had no idea about. However, before he could say anything else, the queen spoke up, crying.
"T-Tyra... what... you... are my child." She wept. "Prince Ivan is your brother. I did... I did so many things wrongly but... but I never did those things you are accusing me of. I want the king. Please bring my Lord to me." Arya cried loudly.
"WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? WHY ARE YOU BEGGING THIS CRAZY WENCH?" Ivan turned to yell at his mother.
"Ah!" Tyra exclaimed lightly. "You were late. So I should let you know that the queen, your precious mother, laid with Sir Damon."
Ivan laughed like he had just heard the most stupid thing ever. He didn't even bother to look at the two people involved. He looked at his crazy sister instead.
"You must have really lost it, haven't you?"
"Have I?" She let out a laugh. "Who knows? Maybe you are even a product of their affair—"
"T-Tyra!" Damon said with the little strength he had in him.
"HOW DARE YOU SPEAK SUCH ABOMINABLE WORDS!" Ivan yelled and tried all he could to stand on his feet, but it was impossible.
"Why don't you ask her then?" Tyra said.
"I didn't do it." The queen shook her head. This time, she was looking between her brother and her son.
"I... wouldn't do something like that. Tyra... please do not do this. Do not... do this—"
"Hahaha!" Tyra laughed loudly. She continued to laugh until her eyes were filled with tears. "You must regret it." She said with happiness while looking at her mother. "You hated me. You didn't hide it, mother."
Arya shook her head, but Tyra's harsh voice had her squealing in fear.
"YOU HATED ME! AND IT WAS SO OBVIOUS THAT EVEN THE MOST LOWLY SERVANTS LOOKED DOWN ON ME!"
"EVERYONE GOSSIPED ABOUT ME."
This time, Tyra had changed back into her crazy self with the look in her eyes and the tone in which she was speaking.
"And you..." she looked behind her at her uncle, pointing a finger at Lord Evan.
"Did you ever treat me like your niece? Did you ever care for me? Did you?!"
She was even more annoyed when she looked at him. Because he didn't look guilty or remorseful. Rather, he still had hate in his eyes.
"All because I am an Omega." She spoke quietly, her voice and gaze distant. But then a big smile broke on her face as she looked at all of them, asking, "Can you all see what an Omega can do now?"
"I TURNED THIS ENTIRE KINGDOM UPSIDE DOWN JUST BECAUSE I WANTED TO! I COULD TAKE DOWN ALL YOUR GUARDS AND LEAVE YOUR PRECIOUS KINGDOM DEFENSELESS! I COULD LEAVE THE PALACE WHENEVER I WANTED, DESPITE ALL OF YOUR NIGHTGUARDS PUT IN PLACE. I, TYRA, WAS ABLE TO DO ALL OF THAT—"
"You must have looked down on the Moon Kingdom." They heard a voice coming from the other side, an entirely different route, and all eyes turned there to find Alvin on his horse.
Tyra inhaled deeply and looked at him. "I do not want to hurt you, Alvin."
Alvin's dark eyes stared at her before he drew his sword.
Many rogues prepared their weapons as soon as they heard the name, 'Alvin'. But Tyra didn't permit them to attack.
"Do you think your presence can make a difference here? You think you can stop me?" She asked him in a mocking tone. "I am only trying to put things in place."
"What exactly are you trying to put in place?" Alicia, who had been quietly thinking about this whole thing, asked.
"I. Said. I. Will. Get. To. You.!" Tyra said impatiently. These whole distractions weren't making her enjoy the effects of her actions.
"You must think everyone here is as stupid as you, don't you?" Alicia asked, making some of the hostages look at her as though she had lost her mind. Even though she was not being held, even though she held a sword in her hand, and even though she was Prince Harold's wife, she could easily die at once here.
"W-What?" Tyra asked with slightly wide eyes.
"You had all of this prepared. How else would you have had these nasty beasts show up in this palace if you didn't have any authority?" Alicia asked. "It was all your plan. You had to make sure everyone was out. You had to make sure there were no distractions so you could hold the highest authority in the palace. The potions? That is all bullshit. It must have been your plan. What... did you do to the King and Prince Harold?" Alicia asked. Her chest was heaving up and down at this point, and her hands tightly clenched her sword.
When Alicia pointed it out like this, it made sense to the others. If Tyra had always had these people and had been planning this, it meant that everything that had happened in the palace wasn't simply a coincidence.
Tyra looked a bit flustered about being put in the spotlight like this for the wrong reasons.
And that wasn't all, because just like Alvin had said, she had really underestimated the Moon Kingdom's defence. Because right beside him, a troop led by Sir Rager showed up.
A nightmare was about to begin. And it was obvious that more blood was going to be shed soon.
See you soon...
