Crowns of Heritage

Chapter 40 -Up in flames

(PRINCE MOISES P.O.V)

After hearing from Nashi that Natalie and Sage went after Countess Melanie. I felt nothing but rage for that woman. Instead of going to stop them, I decided that Rosemary needed my attention more. Since Sage was with her mother I wasn't too worried. We rushed back to the villa to get some medical attention for Rosemary and Sylvester since they were badly injured and still unconscious.

I laid her down on the bed and grabbed one of her hands as I slowly kneel down on the floor.

"How is she?", I heard Peyton ask.

"We're waiting on the doctor to come, Yeshiva went to called him over from Sylvester's room", I said.

I felt someone place their hand on one of my shoulders. I turned around and saw Masiro standing behind me.

"I'm sure she'll wake up soon", he said, trying to reassure me.

I turned back towards Rosemary and placed my right hand on the side of her face. Seeing her laying there still unresponsive made me want to burn down the whole kingdom.

I turned my head as I heard the door open and saw Yeshiva coming in and someone standing behind him.

"The doctor is here", he said.

The doctor walked over to the left side of the bed, and went to feel her pulse.

"Her pulse feels a little weak but she might have some trauma to her head", he stated, "After treating Master Sylvester these two might have a concussion", he added.

He turned her head looking at the cuts on the side right side of her head.

He started treating her and I got up off the floor to give him some space.

"We should let her get some rest", The doctor said.

"I'll stay in the room and watch over her", Peyton said.

I nodded my head and left the room with Yeshiva and Masiro.

"Is Nashi still in the room checking on his brother?", I asked Yeshiva.

"Yes, since his injury was a little minor the doctor suggested he get some rest after seeing Sylvester", he replied.

"Now since we have them back safely at home to recover, let's go see the damage our girls are doing", Masiro said.

(SAGE P.O.V)

While walking towards the back of the mansion, mother gestured her right hand towards the wall. Once we got to the wall she helped me climb up and I jumped over landing into the garden. Mother climbed up next and jumped over after me. Even though we both were in pain, nothing was going to stop us from killing that bitch.

"Let's head to the basement", she said.

"How are we going to get to in, I'm sure it's locked", I said.

"Watch and learn sweetheart", mother said as she picked the lock and opened the door.

"It's a good thing, that this kingdom is stupid and doesn't like outside technology", she said.

We walked inside of the mansion and I followed behind my mother as we walked down the stairs into the basement. Mother started to tear the bottom of the dress she was wearing. She gestured for me to follow her up a ventilation passage.

"Let's go to the Counts office first," she said.

I nodded my head and continued to follow her up the passage until we reached a certain room. Mother opened the vent and we climbed out of it and walked around the office.

"Take all of the files and place them into the vent", mother said.

We started grabbing any type of files that looked important and climbed in and out of the passage transporting the files and putting them inside of the basement and throwing them over the wall. Until we had enough of gathering files, we climbed back through the vent and searched for Countess Melanie's room.

About 20 minutes later, we finally found her room on the other side of the mansion. All of a sudden, we heard a bell ringing.

"Ugh, where is this stupid maid with my tea", we heard Countess Melanie say.

"Tea huh", I said mumbling to myself.

"Father's going to be at the palace for a couple of days since Prince Marshall is behind on paperwork." Countess Melanie said.

Who is she talking to, I thought to myself.

When I looked down I saw one of the guards standing in her room.

"Have you found them yet?", she asked.

"No, Looks like they got away", the guard said.

I heard that crazy bitch starting to laugh.

"Maybe I should go pay the young duke a visit", she said, while looking at her nails.

I felt my mother tap me and gestured for us to move. We climbed down the passage and went back to the basement.

"Let's find the maid", mother said.

I nodded my head and we walked up the stairs to the first floor. We slowly walked through the hall trying not to make unnecessary noises. We got near the kitchen and heard one of the maids complaining.

"I swear if I didn't need this job I would quit", she was mumbling to herself.

Unexpectedly, another maid came into the kitchen and slapped the other maid in the face.

"Lady Melanie said to hurry up you lowly bitch", the other maid said.

Soon as they turned around to walk out of the kitchen, mother ran towards them hitting them on the side of their neck causing them to pass out.

"Whoa, you need to teach me that", I said.

Mother gestured for me to come over. We changed into the maids uniform and dragged the maids outside.

I wiped the sweat off my face after dragging the maid.

"Now, let's have some fun", mother said.

We walked back into the kitchen and grabbed the tray with the teapot and tea cups. After mother added something into the tea. It was something that she found in one of the cabinets. While walking up the stairs, we saw the guard that was in the room coming down.

"Hurry up, and bring the Lady her tea", he said as he continued to walk down.

We hurried to the floor her room was on, before the guard could notice anything. I saw Mother pull out the pieces of cloth she tore off from the dress. I knocked on the door, and instantly heard that bitch complaining. She opened the door and started to shout.

"What took so long you worthless piece of...", before she could finish, mother stuffed the piece of dress into her mouth and I knocked her down to the floor by kicking her in the stomach.

Before she could get the piece of cloth out of her mouth, mother started binding her with the other pieces she tore off. She tied Countess Melanie hands behind her back. We dragged her into the room and closed the door.

She started to mumble and kick as we pulled her, causing mother to kick her in the side.

She curled up into a ball after we finished dragging her next to the bed. After mother placed her up against the bed. I lifted my dress up and bent down on the floor.

"Hello, remember me", I said, looking at her face to face.

Her eyes widen and she started to mumble, but her facial expression showed anger.

"Now, I did advise you, telling you not to try my patience", I said, "I'm usually the mature one out of my sister and I. But seeing my sister's unconscious body laying next to a tree really sent me over the edge.", I stated as I grabbed her head.

She started to tear up and kept mumbling.

"Since you don't love your life as much as I thought", I said, and grabbed her by the shirt, pulling her closer to me, "How about I end it for you."

I backed up a little while letting go of her shirt and watched the expression on her face change from anger to fear.

Mother bent down and tilted Countess Melanie's head back.

"If you scream i'll slice your throat", she said, "Now I'll give you a chance to tell me why you tried to kill us", mother said as she took the cloth out of her mouth.

She started gasping and tears started falling down her face.

"Please don't kill me, I was just angry that the young duke chose her over me", she said as she begged.

"Really, all this over a guy who doesn't like you", I said while getting pissed off.

"My daughter is unconscious right now because of a jealous fit you had", mother said while pulling Countess Melanie's head back further.

"I'm sorry", she said as she begged.

Mother stood up after letting go of her head, while I continued to stay bent down in front of her.

"You know, since this will be the last thing you ever hear", I said, as I watched her eyes widened even more.

"How about I formally introduce myself, I'm Prince Moises daughter, but you can call me Princess Sage", I said and smiled at her.

She looked as if she was in disbelief, "Prince Moises", she mumbled, "You're a princess", she said in a shocking tone.

I got up and mother pulled Countess Melanie's head back again and pour the tea down her throat and untied her hands. As she started to gag, mother and I walked towards the door to leave the room.

"You two bitches will regret this", she shouted.

Mother looked back and smirked, "Try to escape the fire first", she stated.

"What fir..", she paused as she started to cough up blood and reached out her hand.

We closed the door and hurried back to the Count's office and climbed through the ventilation passage. After making it to the basement, mother lit a match she found inside of the kitchen while searching the cabinets. The fire started to spread in the basement, while mother and I rushed out of the mansion.

"Hurry and climb over the wall", she said as we ran to the wall.

We climbed the wall and jumped on the other side.

"Shit, my arm started to hurt again", mother said as we grabbed the files off the ground.

We started to run into the forest, as we started to hear screams coming from the mansion. Suddenly we saw the flames spreading more and people running out of the mansion.

"Let's go", mother said.

As we got further into the forest, we decided to take a break. I sat by the tree and felt myself dozing off, I guessed my adrenaline rush was over with. I thought to myself as I closed my eyes.

(PRINCE MOISES P.O.V)

We traveled for about an hour and a half, slowly approaching the Count Livens estate.

"Look", I heard Yeshiva say.

I looked to where he was pointing and saw smoke going into the sky.

"Shit they really set a fire", Masiro said.

"The forest", Yeshiva mentioned, "Let's check the forest."

We parked on the side of the road about three miles away from the smoke. We ran into the forest looking for any signs of Natalie and Sage.

We continued to walk through the forest searching and calling their names. We could still see the smoke clouding up the sky.

After searching for over an hour, we finally stumbled upon them laying next to one of the trees completely passed out.

"Good job girls", Masiro said as he lifted Sage into his arms.

I lifted up Natalie and kissed on her forehead.

"Let's Hurry up and get out of this area", I said.

"Wait, what is Natalie holding?"Yeshiva asked.

I looked down and saw her hands clinging onto something. Masiro gestured Yeshiva to grab what they were holding, since both of our hands were full with holding them. Yeshiva grabbed it and we headed back to the car. Once we made it to the car and settled them in the rest of us got into the car.

"What is it?"Masiro asked.

Yeshiva looked down, "it looks like some kind of documents", he said and he held them up.

He started to read one of the documents and lifted his head back up and looked at me.

"What?", I asked, as he stared at me.

"This document", he said and held it in front of my face, "This document could possibly prove your innocence", he stated.
