The Broken Prince - Chapter 152

NOTICE: 500 WORDS UPDATE

“When I was in my room contemplating my life and what could have been our tomorrow, I just wanted to be in your embrace. Just wanted to hear you say that everything will be fine but how could I come to you when I was restrained and chained. Father is a kind man but everyone knows how he gets when it’s about the image and reputation of the family and I was no exemption to his stance in life. I did hated Athena the first time we met, I wanted to yell at her but then she did not became the person I wanted to hate. You know why? Because she never wanted to push herself to me. She did not demand anything, she was just there for me during that time and what made her even more as a person was that she knew about us. She knew about our relationship and never did wanted to take your place. And to have her taken away? It feels like loosing you again but more pain because it is my past that came to haunt my future that I came to love.”

Lucifer just laid on Zeus’s arm without making any movement or any sound. All that was felt was his light breathing and the tears that still continued to seep into the others fabric. Zeus held Lucifer on both shoulder and was even more heartbroken when he saw how destroyed the other was.

“Lucifer, you know that you meant the world to me back then and now that you know the reason why I could not go and pursue our future. The reason why I broke everything I said, it was all for you. I am guilty for forgetting about you and moving on without talking to you but I still think that you took things too far. I maybe guilty like you but I never tried to take any person that you love or tried to kill even your wife when I could when I came to know about your deeds. Lucifer, what you have done accounts for a bigger price.” Zeus spoke at the other who just stared at him silently.

“Did you hear what I said-” He was cut off when Lucifer stood up and walked towards the window. He was still crying but his eyes looked very empty.

“You do not have to worry about killing my wife, I already did.” He spoke as f it was no big deal. When those words left his mouth, Zeus was beyond perplexed and his mouth was hanged open. He did not just hear that right he thought but it was the truth. He immediately sprint to where Lucifer was and harshly grabbed his shoulder and turned him around so that they would face each other.

“You what?!” Zeus exclaimed as he looked at the other. He shook him vigorously and was practically yelling at him but the other still remained the same. He just look all calm and dead that it was quite concerning when he just committed such crime. Zeus could still not believe that was happening at the moment and his brain felt like rotting for trying to comprehend what reason may have this time.

“You killed your wife?! Have you ever thought about your son! He needs a mother figure and to think that you were able to do that! If your reason is similar to what you gave me for my wife then I am so sorry but you will pay for everything not just for my wife but also to yours!” Zeus was shaking in anger and more also on disappointment. His mind was hazy and he could not think clearly as to how things were happening. This was too much for him and he could barely get past that his previous lover killed his wife who also killed his own wife.

“Lucifer! Do you hear me or even yourself! You just committed double murder-”

“What double murder? I’ll be blaming you for the death of my wife.” Lucifer walked away from Zeus and sat in his bed. He then wiped his tears away and fixed his attire in front of the mirror but then he stopped. He immediately disheveled everything he had and started to cry silently. He grabbed Zeus and went to the room where Lucifer’s wife laid still. She was already pale when they both arrived and was on her chair. She was holding a cup of tea where she drank the liquid which contained a poison placed by his own husband.

Zeus moved closely to the latter’s wife and just stared at her with shock and sadness. How unfortunate was she so that she fell to the wrong hands of the person that could have loved her so dearly but instead took her for granted and offered her as a price to something that Lucifer thought he could obtain back.

He then turned around and was about to speak when Lucifer yelled so loud that he knew every single guard nearby would hear. The next thing that came out of his mouth made Zeus’s heart drop.

“Murderer!” Lucifer yelled and used his powers to hold Zeus in place. Zeus in the other hand was panicking as he might take the false blame and might be sentenced to death and that he could not have because who would then raise his only child. He thought of him and he knew that he must get out at all cost so he used his powers to break free and escape which he did successfully but he did not knew that he dropped something that would lead to his downfall as it was already in the hands of the madman Lucifer.

Guards then swarmed the area where Lucifer was and Zeus was once was. Lucifer put a face of horror as he knelt in the side as to where his wife sat lifelessly. Tears then pooled on his eyes and he released a fake cry that had everyone convinced. The guards looked in shock as they saw the Queen they all adored and worshiped sitting like she was a ghost. Her eyes were opened and her mouth were hang open. Her hand gripped tightly on the chairs arm rest as if she really did struggle in her last moments. Her skin looked like it was kissed by death himself as it was pale as the fresh snow that always brought a lot of problems to the kingdom.

“Search the area!” Lucifer yelled looking so enraged his eyes piercing through everyone he looked on to. The guards immediately broke their frozen stance and immediately scurried out of the room. He asked one guard to go and look for the healer to see if something could be done when deep inside him he already knew that there would be no chances that she’d live even if she only had a single drop of that tea. But he knew he needed to act all hurt or else his plan would not work. He did not heed any of Zeus’s explanation as he became enraged with the fact that the person he dearly loved did forgot about him and had moved on with his life leaving him behind.

“You will pay for all of it Zeus” Lucifer spoke in his mind.

He then looked at his dead wife with nothing on his eyes as if the thing he did did not weigh anything to him. Truth be told he did not love this woman and only acted like it when their son was around because even if he did not feel anything towards this woman, he still felt love for his only son and he was the only thing that brought him joy in his life when he was just gloomy and continuously holding on to his past.

He was about to stand up when he heard a familiar voice. He looked around and found a boy that was in his nightwear and was rubbing his eyes. Immediately, pain struck his heart as he forgot as to how Hade may feel. Hade was already a young teen and already knew a lot of things thus when he was able to see the whole picture. Tears immediately fell from his eyes and immediately ran to where his mother was sitting lifelessly and stared at her with such fear.

He did not fear the sight before him but the truth that it brought and marked with.The dead corpse of the Queen slapped him immediately when he wanted to think that it was all a lie and a dream. His hand touched the hand of the dead woman and immediately he started to choke on his cries. Just hours ago his mother had sang for him in his sleep and now she was a lifeless corpse. Hade was shaking and did not know what to do, he was still so young but he knew that his mother will never come back no matter what he does and that was the one thing that made him cry.
