The Cursed Prince's Strange Bride



"I... I didn't do it." The queen cried as she looked at her brother, who had turned to look at her with hopeful eyes for her to tell him her devil of a daughter was lying. If she could do all of this, why wasn't she capable of lying against the queen?

"I... didn't." She repeated it as she struggled on the ground to crawl towards her brother, who seemed to suddenly have a double mind. 

"I wouldn't lay such a heavy accusation against my own mother," Tyra told all of them in a calm tone. 

"But as the one responsible for this kingdom now, I have to be honest with you all and let you know what your queen and Beta have been up to."

Tyra looked down at Damon, who was looking up at her with a gaze she couldn't exactly read since he already seemed to be struggling with not collapsing on the ground. He could barely say a word either, and his eyes continuously rolled back into their sockets. Seeing him like this made her delighted. Seeing all of them like this made her VERY delighted. 

"You really never guessed that the queen and Sir Damon would have had an immoral affair all these years? He has been by her side since he served my grandfather." 

"Tyra..." the queen cried as she fell back on the ground. "Why... how... why are you doing this?"

Sir Evan looked at his sister in disbelief. It seemed as though with every second that passed, the accusation further dissolved in his brain, making it difficult for her to accept it. 

"I'm sorry, mother. But I have to purge the palace of your sinful acts. You do not deserve to be the queen of the moon kingdom. You do not deserve to stand beside the king. All you have to do now is confess your crimes and receive punishment. Otherwise, others will suffer for it."

"Tyra—"

"Confess your crimes!" Tyra ordered before she began to list out the so-called crimes. 

"You have always wanted to hurt Prince Harold because you wanted Prince Ivan on the throne. You killed his mother. You killed the maid in charge of him. You had worked with a witch and had her curse him and make sure Prince Harold was sent away, where you could easily get rid of him, but unfortunately, it didn't work according to your plan because the King was strictly guarding him."

All the information was almost unbelievable to all of them. The queen was a very arrogant woman. They couldn't believe she would stoop so low to do something so dishonourable. Besides, Sir Damon was a strict man and the King's trusted fellow. Unfortunately, he couldn't even deny any of the allegations, as he was too battered to do so. 

Alicia, however, didn't find any of it surprising. At this point, nothing could surprise her anymore. It just made sense that someone had a hand in everything. But the fact that the queen and Damon? Just eww!

"My... Lord... I want my lord." The queen cried pitifully. "Take me to my king." She said in between her sobs, but Tyra wasn't done with her yet as she continued to list out her crimes. 

"You blamed Prince Harold for killing Prince Harry when you knew it wasn't him. You knew someone had fed Prince Harry the Beta's nightmare. You knew his death wasn't simple, but you wanted to put the blame on Prince Harold and make everyone hate him."I think you should take a look at

Another surprise for all of them. 

"And you must have known where Beta's nightmare came from. Because your trusted Damian is the son of Sir Wilson, whom you killed with the help of Sir Damon because he found out about your affair." 

Another surprise. 

"And you have been using Damian all these years. You used him to make you more potions from his father's book. You poisoned the king with it to make him ill and also tried to kill Prince Harold many times so that you and Prince Ivan would succeed."

"ALL THOSE ARE LIES!" The queen shouted with all her might as she looked up at Tyra and then at everyone else, shaking her head. "I didn't... I don't know any of it."

Tyra scoffed. "If Damian was here, I'm sure he would have confessed to all your crimes and everything you made him do—"

"I... didn't do those! I would never hurt my King! I would never hurt my son just to punish Prince Harold. But I will hurt you. I WILL HURT YOU FOR ALL THESE ALLEGATIONS!" The queen yelled and broke into sobs.

"Then you will have to choose," Tyra said lazily. 

"Between admitting to your crimes and letting your last hope for the throne die," 

She gestured towards the palace doors behind them once more, and this time, the next person that was dragged in with wrists and ankles tied was Prince Ivan. 

He looked like he had also been seriously beaten, but he was not as bad as Damon since he could still raise his voice faintly and try to fight off the men dragging him before he was tossed on the ground beside his mother, who looked at him in panic before her eyes went to Tyra, who was smiling down at her. 

"Choose carefully, Mother. Prince Ivan is also being accused since a potion was found in his chamber. Not to mention how he tried to kill Prince Harold with a poisoned sword earlier. If he didn't do that himself, it means it was you. You did everything."

Alicia was horrified at what Tyra was trying to do. Her eyes went to Luciana, and she could see the faint shock in Luciana's eyes as she looked at her husband, who was lying on the floor, tied. Since his back was to her, he didn't see her. 

Alicia could sense that there was something else here that Tyra was trying to do. It seemed like she was threatening the queen to accept that she did all that, or Prince Ivan would die. 

If Tyra was trying so hard to make one of them take the fall, it only had to mean one thing. Tyra was accusing her falsely. Many of the things she claimed the queen did were lies.

Alicia began to wrap her head around everything. From what she had been witnessing Tyra do all this time to what she had said earlier about the banquet night and to whatever had happened between Amber and Tyra that she didn't know of. If Tyra was bent on getting rid of her, then it meant she had done quite a lot in the past for that to happen. 

The banquet night?
