The Lost Princess' Second Chance
The Lost Princess’ Second Chance Chapter 46

Diamond’s POV

I can’t believe it. I thought Lady Morgana had died in the wild long after King Arthur killed her mate and took over the kingdom. Repairing the damage that monster had created. “Hold on… You are telling us that this woman that Bethany brought to you was a royal witch.?” Queen Ofelia asked. I nodded.

“Years ago, the wizard kingdom was ruled by a cruel man. King Vlad was the only child of his parents because he used his own magic to make his mother barren. His magical power and skills came forward at such a young age that even his parents had trouble controlling them.” | started to explain. “Magic for us is like your wolves and lycans are for your kind. Normally a parent could cancel out their child’s magic if they were getting out of hand, just like a parent’s wolves or lycans can create comfort for their pups, because of the b***d bonds.” I added.

They all nodded and waited for me to continue. “Well

Once King Vlad came of the age of sixteen, he killed his own mother and father. Stealing their magic for himself. He kept a harem of young virgin witches and as each of them came of the age at sixteen, he would rape them and take their magic. Only increasing his own.” I said with a shudder.

“When a witch or wizard sleep comes of the age of sixteen, they can share their magic with any supernatural being that they sleep with. Normally it would have to be consensual for the transfer to happen, but only when there is a balance between partners. The more powerful and dominant one partner’s magic is, the more they can take by force. Especially if they are the first.” I said.

“So he stole magic from others just by being the first person to have s*× with, even if it was by force?” Iris asked. I nodded. “What about when he found his mate… this Morgana person. Did he stop after he found her?” King Alberto asked. I shook my head. “No, and we feel the pain like you all do when your mate cheats on the bond formed by the gods. From how the story goes, She endured his betrayal for years on end.” I said.

“Why did she not just reject him and leave?” Miguel asked. I gulped. “King Vlad would have either killed her or tossed her in his harem where he would forcefully take her magic like the others. Though I did hear that she was locked up for sleeping with someone else when she tried to give him a taste of his own medicine.” I said, holding my chin and thinking hard.

It was my father who told me that. Though he seemed to say it as if he had witnessed what she had done. “Then what happened?” Beta Carmela asked. I shrugged. “I honestly don’t know what happened to her or her lover, but it was said that King Vlad locked her in the cells with enchanted chains for a whole year. No one by the king was allowed to see her or enter the cells. After that is when she went crazy.” | said.

“What do you mean?” Iris asked. “From how the story goes, as soon as she was let out of the cells, she started killing the witches in King Vlad’s harem… more specifically the ones that were pregnant with the king’s child.” I said looking at my hands and playing with my fingers. I hated this next part but it was crucial about her character.

I took a deep breath to try and stay calm. “Diamond?

Is there something else?” Iris asked, sitting next to me and wrapping her arm around my shoulders. “Any children that were birthed by the females in the harem… Lady Morgana killed them with her own bare hands.” I said, as gasps filled the room.

“Children are so pure and protected, no matter what kind of creature you are. To take the life of something so pure and innocent that it left Lady Morgana to live a cursed life.” | explained. “Cursed life?” Esmeralda asked. I nodded.

“She was cursed with a half life, meaning that she is only as powerful as the amount of evil she can consume from those she kills.” I said.

“But then she would just kill criminals right?” Alec asked. I waved my hands like a balance scale. “Yes and no.

The more evil she takes in…” “The more evil thoughts that consume her mind.” Iris said, finishing my sentence. I nodded.

“After my father was blessed by our creator, Hecate, the Goddess of magic with the b***d and powers of a guardian to the one she chose to bring our kingdom out of the darkness.” I said, feeling proud about my father being apart of history for generations to come. “After my father helped King Arthur to succeed the throne and kill King Vlad, Lady Morgana was imprisoned.”

“Then how is she here and how did Bethany get her to help out.” Miguel asked. I shrugged my shoulders. “I honestly don’t know why Lady Morgana would help that power crazy b***h, but she escaped a few months after I left the wizard kingdom in search of you, my lady.” I said, looking at Iris.

“I can fool Bethany, but I can not fool Lady Morgana.

She knows of my b***d line and she would recognize me as my father’s child.” I said. “Once she sees my eyes and takes one look at Iris, she will know who I truly serve… and she holds no allegiance to anyone but herself, and always has her own agenda for everything she does.”

I saw everyone process the information. Iris started pacing back and forth. Then she looked up at King Alberto and Queen Ofelia. “I think I have an idea.” She said with a small smirk. “Yes?” Queen Ofelia asked. “What about we have a fighting competition in honor of the coronation ceremony? It would give Bethany the chance she has been looking for to get close to me, and we would still have Diamond as a secret asset that neither of them knows about. So things will be on our terms and to our advantage.

” She explained.

I stood up. “That is crazy. You are using yourself as bait for both this crazy female and a dangerous dark witch?! Even if we have the element of surprise and set a trap, there is no way I am strong enough to beat Lady Morgana.” I told her. Iris smiled and came back over to me.

She grabbed my hands and held them tight.

“Diamond. I know you are scared. I have been scared most of my life… but you can not let fear stop you from doing what I know you are capable of.” She said. I could feel her confidence in her words, but I was still unsure.

Iris pulled me into a hug. “Want to know a secret?”

She asked, her tone sounding comforting. I nodded my head. “Diamonds are the hardest thing on earth. Nothing can break them, except another diamond.” She said before she pulled me back and looked me in the eyes. Her eyes shinning two shades of purple. “You are the only thing that can stop yourself or hold yourself back.” She said, her voice mixed with another.

I felt her confidence become my own. I smiled at her and nodded my head. I backed up out of her embrace and knelt down on one knee. Placing my hand over my heart, I bowed to my lady and mistress. I looked up at her. “I will do everything in my power to live up to your expectations and to the name you have given me, my lady. So what is your plan?” Iasked.

“First we will deal with Bethany and Morgana. Then as the new king, queen, and royal betas… we set those bastards in the NightShade pack straight so that no one else ever becomes a slave like I was.” She said, her voice still mix with another. Alec growled as he wrapped his arms around her waist. “Sounds good to me. I have been itching to pay them back for the last six months.” He said.

“We all have.” King Alberto said. “But you are right.

Bethany and this witch come first. So let us get to business.” Queen Ofelia said as she sat down in her seat. “So let us get comfortable. We have a lot to plan today.” She added.

Everyone nodded and sat down, me included.
