DUE TO MISHAP, I BECAME QUEEN - Chapter 53

♔♔♔

She could tell he was furious but she could not fathom why.

Amber gasped, and Ernest looked at her darkly before stepping towards her menacingly.

‘Ernest, brother, what has happened?’ Rosemary asked frowning with worry. She had never seen her brother look like this before.

Amber’ breathing quickened at the sight of Ernest coming towards her. Something she had not thought was possible had occurred.

No!

Had he realized he had been dosed with a love potion by Amber?

Amber turned pale and felt afraid.

If he had realized, she should be in a dungeon by now. Whether intentional or not, it would not be possible to let someone who dosed the King of the country goes. So if he had noticed, there should be several knights accompanying him to arrest her, given the possibility that she might harm the Princess.

But there was no Knight or servant with him. Though, he was terrifying all by himself.

What had happened?

Why was he so angry with her?

Ernest stalked into the quiet room and glared at Amber; not even sparing a glance at his sister, and grabbed Amber’ thin wrist with forced and pulled her up.

She cried out surprised by the pain. The momentum caused her to hit the tea table making the cups and saucers clatter.

‘Sorry about that,’ Ernest immediately said. But his face contorted in anger and he lifted her and tossed her over his shoulder.

‘Oh no! Please put me down…!’

She was a human, not a stuffed toy. Despite her struggle, he held her tightly. She had no choice but to hold on to his clothes for dear life.

‘Rosemary, I will be taking Amber.’ he announced to his sister. She was stunned by his actions.

Why was he angry?

Despite his anger, he had been sorry when her body hit the table. If he had not noticed he was under a love spell, what was the problem?

Rosemary tried to stop him on Amber’ behalf, ‘Wait, Ernest! What are you going to do with Amber?’

She could not understand what was going on. But Ernest ignored her and carried Amber out of the sitting room.

Except he stopped when he reached the door and turned to her,

‘Ernest?’

‘I want to ensure you keep your important sister in law as she is.’

‘What do you mean to keep her as she is…?’

Ernest gave her a mirthless smile and left Rosemary’s private sitting room.

He was like a wolf surrounded by an aura of cold anger.

Where was he taking her?

The silence between them as he walked down the long corridors made her anxiety mount,

‘Ernest, could…’

‘Do you think if you’re dropped from this height you will feel no pain?’

Ernest had seen through her, he knew she wanted to be put down. But he threatened her in his cold tone. She definitely would be hurt if he dropped her.

Her spine ran cold thinking he would truly drop her. She bit her lips and kept quiet. This wasn’t a simple incident.

They arrived at their rooms where he dismissed the maids.

What was he thinking now?

She couldn’t imagine what he was going to do in the bedroom, or why he was angry with her. His golden eyes had looked wounded.

He shut the door with a loud bang without caring about Amber carried over his shoulder. He walked up to the large bed and threw her into it.

She gasped at the impact.

The bed was soft and her fall had no pain as it would have if it had been the ground, but such violence was not like Ernest at all.

Before she could gather her wits Ernest was on top of her.

She looked into his darkened eyes and could not help but ask, ‘What happened?’

What happened for him to behave this way?

‘Is it so painful to be by my side that you ask Matthias for help to escape me?’
