Dream Love : Dream Land - Chapter 112

“How do you feel when you’re locked up in a room like this, Freye?” Queen Anna visits Freya in her punishment room.

After her services were used for King Arthur, King Liam ordered her to undergo a curfew in the room that is now become her residence. All corners of the room are black magic proof, also in her legs are placed bracelets that stopped her to use magic. This is quite harsh to her as she always uses her magic all the time.

But, as someone that have too much pride she refuses to show her weak side and just smirking there.

“Wipe out that face from me Freya. You should look yourself in the mirror. You definitely look like a ghost now.  Or even worst.” Anna said.

She only states the truth anyway, as Freya is now in her real form. A very old woman with freckle and sagging skin here and there. But as Anna already saw it a lot of time, she is not scared of it. It unharmed to her.

Growling as she didn’t like this form at all, Freya tries to use her magic to give Anna her warning, but the bracelet attached to her sparking some kind of force making her scream in pain there.

“Argh!”

Anna looked at the witch in astonishment. She didn’t feel sorry at all.

“You already know that will be happen.  Why you did that? Are you become stupid all of the sudden?” She started to mock the witch that is now staring in anger at her.

“You have started to become like Liam now Freya. Always feeling impatient.”

“Shut up!” Freya screaming there doesn’t want to be associated with the man. He is the one that is making her be in this situation after all. She doesn’t like to be in this kind of pathetic condition.

“Why are you here anyway?” A bit calm now, she asks the queen. It’s quite bizarre to see her right in front.

“Just wanted to play around.”

The answer got a snort from Freya. She didn’t like to play puzzles.

“Are you here because you felt somewhat interested with my proposal to you the other day?” Freya asked with a slight smile now.  Already forget what happen before between them.

Anna just kept quiet, didn’t deny it, but also not confirming it.

“You know very well who Liam is. He used you for his last wish. Wanted you to join him as the sacrifice. While, if you were helping me, you didn’t have to die in vain. You will be the Queen who rules this Dream Land. ”

“But Liam will die.” Anna said in a her very serious tone.

Freya chuckle there. Feeling disbelieving with the verse that came out of the queen’s mouth.

“Do you really love him that much Anna? When he obviously takes you for granted? He’s using you from day one you come into his life. Just because you look and feel like his long -dead wife. His last wish also to revive his love for her. Are you seriously blind? ”

“I believe my feeling to him doesn’t concern you.”

“I just state the truth. Don’t ever daydreaming to get his heart. His heart already die long ago.  All of this will never happen if he didn’t start it. And he does this for his one and only love.”

“Don’t forget you’re the one that make him follow this path! Don’t you dare to talk like he is to be blamed. ” Anna gets a little mad there. This witch thinks too highly of herself.

Freya was silent there.

“If only your child didn’t kill his son. None of this will happen.”

Listen to that Freya recalls what happened on the night of 13 years ago.

That night was a night where all representatives from every land and small region gathered in Dream Land to discuss political things. Dream Land happens to be the host that year. Each year they would gather in a different country. This is like the huge gathering for every head of state.

Freya, who happen to be there as a devilish land representative, brought her child with her which is a little bit special. He, always craving for blood. As someone like him didn’t get accepted in her land, she hid her son’s illness and took him everywhere.

And that night, she had actually locked the door where she stay with her son before going out so that her son would not wander without her, but unexpectedly she saw Liam at that time in a sad state was brandishing a sword at her son who was now covered in blood.

Seeing the murderous look Liam give to Drake, her son there, she knows something terrible must be happening.

Before anything really happened, Freya quickly ran fast and got her child.

“Stop! Please. There must be some kind of misunderstanding.” Freya said in a rush before knowing anything.

But, just after she said that, she finally saw, a body, lying on the floor full of blood a few meters behind Liam.

She didn’t have to ask again what had happened there. All people know how obsess Liam is with his one and only son after the death of his wife. And now his dear son, lying stiffly there not breathing.

“Move!” Liam, who is now full with rage, only think about killing that boy.

“I didn’t do it. We are just playing.” Drake said there, but no one pay attention to that.

“Step away and let me kill him!” Liam wanted to strike to the boy now. But Freya suddenly knelt there, in front of him. Begging him with all her heart.

“Please don’t. I will do anything. So please don’t kill my child.” She is pleading with tears.

“What could you possibly do? My son, the royal heir has already been killed by your son. He only deserves death!”

“I can revive him back!”

Her words, stop Liam movement.

“I can bring him alive back. I promise. But we need to do something for that to be happening.”

That is actually the start of their bittersweet relationship. After that, Liam took her child in custody not that she knows where he is until this day. That is why she is still on the Liam side as she wanted to save Drake.  She knows he is alive somewhere.

“But if all that didn’t happen, you also won’t be here Anna. Probably will never meet Liam and be his queen till this day.” Freya said there after stop being disturbed by old memories at that time.

“Do you  really think I care about that?” Anna asking in disbelief.

“Don’t say it love at the first sight Anna as I didn’t believe that. You just met him just about a week and then got married instantly. No one is crazy enough to get married that fast to someone that they didn’t know. You must have craved this grand life for so long. ”

Anna narrows her eyes there. ‘Just think whatever you wanted witch’, she said in her mind. No one here knows her real intention, except the previous King anyway.

“So, you wanted me to help after all the stones is being collected. You are the one that wanted to make the wish. How can I sided with you know that your wish probably will make me a harm.”

“Then, make a blood deal with me then. I promise you no harm will come to you and all the other royal family except Liam.” Freya suggests.

Blood agreement that is meant is an agreement using a black magic. The witch that makes a deal cannot withdraw the deal or they need to pay for a huge price. That is the same deal she made with Liam a while ago. That she will help him to find all the magical stone and conduct the last ceremony.

Seeing Freya looking all serious there, and that the deal is actually in her favor because only the witch will accept the ugliness if the deal is broken, Anne is thinking deeply now.  The witch didn’t offer her that before.  Seeing her do this, the witch must be in desperate state now.

But, she knows she can’t become too reckless. With that, she started to get up from her seat and wanted to leave. She’s been here for quite a while now.  Didn’t want Liam to be suspicious.

“I think about that more.”

“Wait!” Freya stops her walk suddenly.

“How… about him?” She asks her as a mother now.

Ever since Anna married Liam, she always gave news about the witch’s child. It’s not because she is pity towards her, but because she thinks it could benefit her one day. And she knows that the witch feels indebted to her.

“He is fine. A little skinny because he resist to drink the animal blood that we provided. Eating a good food. Alive. ”

Freya lets out a sigh of relief there. As long as he is still breathing. And then, Anna walks away again.. This time no one stops her.
