Chapter 321 - Greta, Choice Is Yours.

Back to present...

"Come on, grandmother. Go and save your lover. You have been protecting him even when Stan was blackmailing you. Why are you not protecting him now?" Louis asked, mocking him.

"Or… or, are you afraid of admitting it, grandmother? Are you afraid that this treason will bring you an unbearable punishment?" Louis asked standing up from his chair. 

"Don't worry grandmother. You taught me so well. 'Don't accuse others without the proofs'"

"I got the solid proof with me, my grandmother. You cheated on your husband, the king, during your marriage. According to the rules, you have to be thrown into a dungeon with food once a day. No sanity, no power and no lover" Louis chuckled darkly.  

The devilish look in his eyes made Greta shiver. 

She doesn't want to be thrown into a dungeon. She was once a queen, a royalty. 

When Louis saw the fear in her eyes, his lips curved upwards. His eyes were more devilish that Greta started regretting her actions. 

"It's simple, grandmother. If you admit it and take this punishment, your embarrassing and despising past won't be announced to the outsiders" 

"You won't be named as a traitor, a good for nothing noble woman. No one would spit on your face nor there will be stories like 'Once upon a time there was a treacherous, shameless, uncouthly noble lady..'" Louis chuckled as he looked into her misty eyes.

There are like needles pricking into her whole body. 

What Greta values the most is her image and prestige. She would never let someone ruin her image and for that, she would even kill herself or even kill others, just like she did to many innocent people. 

"And, if you don't admit it and apologize to my wife for trying to harm her, we will dig further into your past and, who knows what we might find?"

"You and your lover would have done too much of a bad thing to come here, right?" Louis asked, looking at her with a smirk plastered to his lips.

"If all that comes out, who knows what might happen to you, grandmother? You might even be punished for public hanging?" Louis chuckled.  

"You will lose all the fame, respect and everything you gained in all these years. All your hard work will be ruined and you will be named as nothing but as a wrech and home wrecker. You will be a jinx, a Villian in the history" 

"Choice is yours" Louis said.  

But, either ways she has to face the inevitable misfortune. 

And, Greta couldn't contemplate what to do. 

If she asks for an apology from Brina and confesses all her mistakes, she would be thrown into a dungeon and have to live there forever until her last breath. 

And, if she doesn't, Louis will anyway announce all her crimes after digging out her horrible past. As the rules of the Kingdom Aletros is very strict, she will surely be sentenced to death and has to face public humiliation before her last breath. 

Which, she would never agree to!! 

Her forehead drenched with sweat and her face started turning white. 

She is not a fearless person to kill herself. Not, she is ready to face public humiliation and die with a traitor and home wrecker tag attached to her. 

So, all she could do now is to apologise to Brina and rot in the dungeon secretly till her death. She would suffer but at least her name wouldn't get tainted!!

Meanwhile, Brina gulped.  

Her husband is totally sexy and incredibly handsome right now. He is totally hot when he is in charge. 

She started feeling hot in her body and all she wanted to do now was to hug him and kiss him.  And, make love to him. 

Due to pregnancy hormones, her appeal for sex increased by many folds. 

'What the hell am I thinking? This is totally incongruous' Brina thought.

And, to quench her thirst and wet her dry mouth, she started gulping down the water. 

Otherwise, her face would be flushed and it will be totally embarrassing. She is thinking dirty when serious issues are happening here...

However, she couldn't control it!! 

Meanwhile...

Greta felt her sweat and tears rolling down her face. 

She never thought her grandson could be this devilish and ruthless.  

But, she didn't want to give up. 

After contemplating, she realized that she is on the dead end as she is the ultimate loser here.

Her blood started to boil and the monster inside her resurfaced. She would never ever accept her failure without fighting it. 

She doesn't want to die as a loser. But, she had no other choice, so, why not have her revenge before she dies?? 

At least, she will be happy in her past breath. 

Thinking of it, she decided to do it. 

Swiftly, almost unnoticeably she took the knife she was already holding under the table hideously. 

She was about to attack Queen Elora, who is the nearest Target to her. And, if fortunate she wants to  take her as bait to escape but… 

All her plans got ruined again by the same person whom she disparaged till now. 

Brina, who was sitting exactly opposite to Queen Elora and was observing Greta's facial expressions cautiously, predicted that something like this would happen.

So, she had her guards up. Almost, as swiftly as Greta, probably more, she threw the water glass she was holding.

It was very accurate that it swished and clashed with the knife on Greta's hand, making it fall on the floor along. 

Before Greta could react, with her other hand, Brina took the knife at her side and threw it at Greta's hand, making her scream in pain. 

One of her hands has been stabbed with a knife while the other hand has the glass shreds pricked to her skin. 

Everything happened in a split of a second.  

Even Greta didn't see that coming. Brina's moves are totally graceful and elegant. 

Even after doing it, Brina remained calm and collected. She just took the other glass and started sipping that water as if nothing happened. 

Well, she was very habituated in doing all these, as Sabrina. As a princess of a ruthless and powerful Kingdom, she used to have many enemies. 

She had been in situations worse than this and what she did now is just her reflex actions.   

Meanwhile, everyone just stared at Brina in awe and appreciation. They were not surprised because they have heard about Brina's version of Sabrina. However, this is the first time they are witnessing it with their own eyes.  

Elora, who was sitting adjacent to Greta, saw Greta from pulling out another knife from her secret pocket. Greta didn't care about her injured hand and wanted to hurt some or other one so that she will at least have satisfaction that she inflicted pain to her enemies.
