บท 3: Chapter 3 - Scapegoat
Chapter 3 - Scapegoat
...
After calming the crying Blake, Yolanda stared straight into her eyes and spoke gravely,
"I came here to rescue you, Blake. We must leave at once. Those women were planning on harming you tonight. I don't know for what purpose they were acting, by going by the letters written by them, they plan on selling your body to people of their race and the powerful people of this country. And that too, only for the sake of more power."
"It's not safe here for you any longer. Let's get out of here immediately."
Hearing the urgent tone and the contents of the shocking revelation, Blake began to realize the strangeness of Valeera's and Sylvana's actions that day. Slowly, Yolanda's words began to make sense as Blake realized the potential trouble that she had almost stepped into.
Initially, she wanted to refuse to leave, as it was a great opportunity to get stronger. But realizing now that what was really happening made her stop that train of thought. She didn't want strength at the cost of her freedom.
Blake nodded heavily at Yolanda as she began to rise up and walk gingerly towards the prison door.
She was about to be freed at last.
Meanwhile, Yolanda smiled happily as she envisioned her happy future life with her Blake.

Sylvana began to get nervous after not meeting her mother even after a few hours. After asking for her location from the servants, Sylvana rushed towards her and found her sitting despondently in one of the prison cells.
She felt concerned by the strangeness of the event, but her concern for her mother won over, as she rushed to her side and held her arm as she asked,
"Mother, what's wrong? You didn't contact me for the past few hours. Is there something wrong with our plan tonight? Or, is your health not okay right now?"
Valeera kept blankly staring at the floor, not responding even when being shaken heavily by her daughter.
As Sylvana tried to get a closer look at her mother, a sharp pain shot up from the back of her head as she fell unconscious straight away.
Looking down at her daughter lying down near her own puppet's feet, Valeera smiled sadly as she muttered to herself,
"I am sorry, my dear. I had no other choice but to do this. Our secret has already been revealed. It is no longer possible to conduct the ceremony tonight. And... I needed a scapegoat to take the fall for me. Don't you worry though. I would raise my next daughter more carefully."
Valeera's eyes contained pity at the circumstance, but showed no remorse as she moved to place cursed restrictions on her own daughter, crippling her body in the process. Not to mention that even her mind had been irreversibly ruined to prevent being rattled out.
After repeatedly making sure of all the planted evidences, Valeera softly stroked Sylvana's head and kissed her one last time on her lips before she walked away from the prison. Her happy humming voice not matching her earlier appearance at all, as if the one she abandoned wasn't her child at all.
...
Waiting nervously in the reception chamber, Valeera drank many cups of tea as she awaited her important guest.
A set of heavy footsteps resounded as a burly figure made her way towards her.
Valeera stood on her feet and politely curtsied towards the majestic man in front of herself.
"I have seen the third prince of the Great Kingdom. May your brilliance shine forever on these lands."
The man dressed in luxurious clothing gazed at Valeera's bowing self as his dick started to become rigid. Recalling how he had lost his virginity to her in his younger days, the man smiled cheerfully as he spoke,
"And here I thought you had forgotten all about me, Valeera. You haven't contacted me in months already. I wonder if... what you told me in the letter was real though. Does that... truly exist?"
The man gulped nervously as he stared at Valeera with desire overflowing within his heart.
If what Valeera spoke was the truth, then his struggle to win the throne would end at once, leaving him the only deserving successor to the throne. Yet, the contents of the letter he received that afternoon had been to shocking to be true.
'An easy ticket to get past your level restrictions?! Have I gone crazy or has this world gone crazy instead. If I have that power...' The man began to daydream about his glorious future as he awaited Valeera's response.
Valeera glanced at the man showing obvious greed and desire and mocked him in her head. If not for the sudden change in the circumstances, she would have never let him know about her secret.
Alas, he was the only member of the Royal family that she had successfully lured to her side and would be able to vouch for her when her secret gets disclosed by some other Royal family member.
Although Valeera didn't know who had infiltrated her mansion, she knew that it must have been related to the Royalty, as she nodded submissively to the man and spoke,
"Yes, my dear prince. She really exists for real. It's just that... I would be forever in your debt if you remember this poor subject of yours when you ascend to the throne in the near future."
The man laughed heartily as he walked near Valeera, as he held her waist closely and kissed her strongly on her lips. After kissing heavily for a while, the man broke the kiss as he smirked while speaking,
"No worries. You would get a special p;ace within my Royal harem. But, nobody else knows of this secret, right?"
The man looked on as Valeera's face became rigid as she replied,
"Um, that... my daughter had some rebellious thoughts regarding the use of that woman's special body and planned to do some ridiculous things... but, I restricted her and crippled her prior to our meeting. She is trapped in one of the prison cells. You can take her away and deal with her as you please."
The man glared viciously at Valeera, before his eyes softened as he nodded and spoke,
"Okay, that's no problem. I am impressed with your loyalty to your Country. You didn't even spare your own daughter, huh? Nice, very nice."
The man laughed loudly as he found the entire thing too funny to be able to hold it back. Valeera secretly smiled too, as she had secured her benefits without sacrificing too much.
As for the fate of her daughter? She couldn't care less as she began to plot her future plans with the third prince.
