His Witch Queen-Chapter 167: Heartbreak!

For a minute, the smile on Lucy’s froze. Her wide grin started to dispose of, finding Alice’s words to be nothing but a mere joke, "S-sister, I know that we haven’t met until now. But how can you do such a bad joke with me?"

"Probably don’t like me because I’m local but..saying like they about your own brother? I’m sorry princess Alice but I will not listen to anything like this against my lover." Lucy took a step back in her defense

She broke free from Alice’s embrace to look at the princess with a bit of hostility. Her nature was easily understood by Alice. She knew that Lucy was automatically hurt.

But this was making herself more alarmed and worried with time.

Alice didn’t repeat but once again took her hands to hold them all together, trying to make eye contact with Lucy at any cost, "I know this will be hard..Lucy..But I’m not kidding. D-Dominic. breathed last breath last night."

"What rubbish are you talking about sister..H-How come..h-how can Dominic just die? just a few days ago, I received a message from his messenger that he won’t be available because of some reasons.." Lucy didn’t believe even a single word.

In her eyes, she appeared to be totally contrary to the news that broke her.

In fact, this raised Alice’s words to do so. But without trying to make Lucy understood via the talks, she let Lucy lead inside the castle to bring her near the place where the preparations for the final rituals were going on

Witnessing everything on her own with two eyes, Lucy realized that this was no joke.

Everyone wore black clothes. So did Alice. The preparations were finished and the place was quiet with a bonnet. As if, there had been no hustle-bustle place despite so many people.

When the realization struck her, subconsciously, Lucy’s hand roamed near her stomach. Then, she viewed Alice, as her lips parted, "D-Dominic...left us...h-how..."

"Complicated, Lucy. But he has been killed intentionally, is all I can say to you right now." Alice didn’t put effort to hide.

Since she could read the soul inside Lucy, at that point, she knew that the lady held no ill intent.

She was powerless, a weakling to spare. It is hardest to even expect something suspicious over her. On top of that, the next reaction to Lucy’s heart was terrifying.

Alice notes how Lucy easily compelled the sites. The shifted frown rested over their face and her eyes turned into a curve. All they saw was displeasure and heartbreak. Those expressions were all varying but she kept on uttering Dominic’s name under her breath.

"T-the last name he took was of you, Lucy. His last words were..’I love you Lucy...’ he took your name." Alice told Lucy, holding her hands very tightly, "You have to be very strong, Lucy. You can’t be weak at this point, Dominic never wanted this."

Lucy’s eyes weren’t filled with tears. She was too overhauled with the emotions to realize and comprehend the situation easily. Her sobs and red eyes gazed back at Alice, "D-did..he..said that...?"

"Yes! He also asked me to take care of you so that..you aren’t upset by his sudden dismissal.. Lucy, he did love you...he did a lot..’’ Alice’s voice started to get heavier when she realized the two lovers were now drifting apart.

Out of the blue, there was blackness waiting for them. A baby to rise, as the future heir or Queen. But things didn’t function. God planned otherwise.

Lucy didn’t mean anything. she knew what he wanted, before signing her head for permission, ’S-sister...Alice..can I see him once for the last time?" 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

"At last, with this..child?" At this stage, Lucy had no other favor to ask.

She was a lifeless soul, begging to let her once view her dead lover before his body also went away from them.

Alice didn’t deny it. She gave her a nod and asked Lucy to cover her face with a scarf. As per her institution, Alice held Lucy’s hand to bring her to the room where Dominic’s body was kept..

Until now, Lucy had covered her face with a scarf and the only thing visible was her sapphire eyes.

Stepping inside the chamber, Alice locked up the two guards, who were given the responsibility to guard the body. She looked over to them to ask them for a few minutes so that they could have some time.

ON the Princess’s instructions, the two men went away, and Alice saw the door closing behind them. Meanwhile, Alice’s eyes sure al stagnant at the body that lay under the white cloth. Her eyes were now filled with the bundle of tears that she never enjoyed.

She removed her scarf from her face, to move and take one step forward. With her trembling hand, she removed the white cloth from Dominic’s face, until his neck.

And there he was, her lover...the father of her child..the crowned prince, who left them for one and all..

"Dominic..." She muttered his name under her breath, as Lucy instantly hugged his dead body of Dominic. She touched his face, his jawline, his eyes that are closed, and his lips. "Dominic...please wake up..Dom...my love..."

"Y-You said that w-we had time..didn’t you? Where is our time now? W-why did you go away to leave me like this wind? Did you not think..about me. even once?!" Lucy kept on saying her heart’s talk with the dead body.

At this point, Alice had only kept a distance from her but, hearing their talks made her eyes turn red too. She was bewildered, and the pain touched her heart too.

She covered her mouth to stop herself from crying at this point for the sake of Lucy.

"Dominic...my love...you know...we have a child? Your and my child...this child...How will he or she get to call their father? Tell me?! You didn’t do fair! the moment our child appeared, you’re going away? Why Dominic..why?"

Lucys’ sobs were louder. She was complaining to Dominic for the sake of leaving her alone in this world with their child. He didn’t go away entirely. He left his imprint on her for a lifetime.

"No Dominic..y-you are wrong..this is wrong! this widely wrong...." There was no control over Lucy’s tears. She was blaming, asking, and begging him to get back to her. Her heart broke into a million pieces. It shattered all over and now, it was hardest to find and collect pics to join it.

Almost impossible for her to survive.

She kept her head on his chest, ghosting his face near to her. Her grip was so strong, she was ready to drown in his body to leave this word for once...

And seeing such a comparison of love between her from lucy’s side, made Alice’s heart crack... It is pinned with plague, realizing what has the word down them.

But the next voice jolted them back to their position.

"What is happening here?! Who are you!?"
