THE Knight's Hidden Princess
Chapter 171: Daughter Of Mine

Chapter 171: Daughter Of Mine

There was something different about her this time around. Her eyes, were different, they looked sharper now, more focused compared to the last time that I had seen her. They looked hollow, didn’t hold any recognition in them, it felt as she couldn’t see me and the only thing she cared about was ending my life and listening to my father’s instructions.

There was still that empty gaze but it was different now, lighter and more mischievous. She may not look like she was under my father’s control anymore but that doesn’t mean she was my sister. She wasn’t the little girl I know anymore. Something was wrong with her and I don’t know if I could fix it unless I knew what was wrong with her.

"Are you going to tell me who exactly brought me here or are you going to continue being a menace?" I asked unable to hold myself back this time around.

"Oh come on Dahlia, I always thought you were smarter than this." Evie said as she smacked her lips, "But since I’m feeling so generous, I’ll give you a hint." She said as she leaned across the table.

I eyed her warily expecting the hint she was going to give me and all she did was just stare at me with a smirk on her face. Honestly, she was getting too dramatic for me. I do not know where she got her dramatics from but it surely isn’t from me or my mother. Maybe from my father, that evil old sadistic bastard!

"Well spit it out already will you?"

Rolling her eyes, Evie finally spoke. "Now who do you think hates you enough in this world to kill you?"

"What do you mean who hates me enough in this world to kill me?"

"What? You think you are everyone’s beloved sweetheart?"

I glared at her in response. "Well if you must know, I am the daughter of a fuckin tyrant king so everyone wants to kill me and I’m pretty sure they would if they are given the chance!"

Evie rolled her eyes at me, "Well of course they want to but they wouldn’t dare because they can’t get away with it. But guess who can? Someone who can kill you and wouldn’t bat an eye, wouldn’t even miss you?"

Honestly, I wish she would just spit the name out at this point because she was just saying whole bunch of gibberish. I have never been more curious about this in a very long time. I was when I was first brought here, I had tried to figure out who might have want me dead but after asking series of multiple questions and getting nothing in response, I stopped wondering.

But right now, I was really curious, though what Evie have been saying doesn’t make any sense. I have pissed off a lot of people just by being born and the only other person who hates my existence is...

"No!" I breathed out, my eyes widening in horror as I came to a conclusion.

"That’s right, you my dear older sister pissed off daddy dearest."

"No!" I said not willing to believe it.

"Yeah, he wants you dead." Evie answered and she smiled as she said so, as if this was all a big joke to her.

I was starting to realize that she was more fucked up in the head than I thought she was because who finds this funny? My own father wanted me dead!

Who kills their own daughter? I mean sure I knew the old man never liked me and there was also the fact that I threatened him but to really kill him?

"I guess you are now thinking that you shouldn’t have threatened to kill your father?"

I glared at her. "Well except that was all it was a threat."

"Really?" Evie narrowed her eyes at me, "Because if memory serves me correctly, I seem to remember you saying it isn’t a threat but a promise?"

"Okay, I was just so angry then!" I countered before shaking my head in disbelief, "But I didn’t think he was going to go through with the plan."

Evie shrugged before she leaned back in her seat. "Well guess you learned one valuable lesson from this, never threaten to kill your father!"

"Oh you can count on me killing him now. After all he has done to me and to you_"

"Oh please..." Evie laughed cutting me off, "Let’s not make this about me."

"Yeah well except it is about you." I said before I leaned forward, "What did he do to you?"

The smile vanished from Evie’s face and she blinked looking away from me. "Bold of you to assume he did anything to me."

"I know you Evie," I said as I reached forward to grab her hands but she withdrew them just before I could make contact, "Look I know you, this isn’t you."

"We barely know each other, so don’t sit there and talk like you’ve known me my whole life when you’ve never been present for most of it." Evie said and although her face was blank but there was a hint of anger in her tone.

This was sign that I was starting to get through to her. It’s not the emotion I was expecting but anger was good, it shows that perhaps all wasn’t lost after all.

Heaving out a sigh, I adjusted myself on myself on my seat. "It wasn’t my fault Evie, you know how it is with our father_"

"Oh please," Evie scoffed at me, "You were too busy playing the perfect princess, you were too busy playing the perfect princess that you couldn’t care to notice me."

"Okay that isn’t true."

Evie scoffed at me in response, "Isn’t it? We walked by each other against halls, not even a ’hello’ or a ’hey’ from you. And yes, I understand that there protocols and all of that but the fact still remained you weren’t there. You had multiple times to check in on me, there were times when father was away but you seemed interested in taking dancing lessons and learning how to be the perfect lady to service your husband." She said before she leaned forward, her mouth curling up into a smirk and there was a malicious look in her gaze as she stared at me. "Tell me though, how’s that working out for ya? Heard he hates your guts and couldn’t stand touch you. Heck, the bravest knight in the kingdom looked so constipated during the wedding day, I didn’t even think it was possible."

My lips pressed into a thin line as I stared at her. I fisted my hands and placed them on my laps to stop myself from punching her on the face. This was supposed to be my bonding moment with her so I can’t afford to get angry now.

"That isn’t fair and you know it." I told her.

Evie doesn’t seem the least sorry about what she said. "Nothing in life is fair but at least, things turned out well for me, can’t say the same about you though."

"Okay, I have had enough of this!" I said as I leaned forward in my seat. "You can seat here and tell me how it’s my fault and how my life is shit and all of that but the truth is something is wrong with you and you know it or you wouldn’t have wasted your time saving my life and I am betting father doesn’t even know about this."

"You couldn’t be more wrong about that girl!"

A new voice said and my entire body became rigid at the new voice that entered the room. I watched as my father came into view and another wave of anger course through me as I took in sight of his evil face. Evie bowed her head from where she was seated and then she stood aside as my father lowered himself into his seat.

"Good job Evie!" He said smiling at her and Evie puffed out her chest looking pleased with the praise. "It’s been a while daughter of mine!"

"You monster!"

"Oh don’t get emotional now baby, I let you live!"

"Wish I will be doing the same for you when it’s your turn."

My father’s gaze turned cold as he glared at me. "Okay fine, you are angry I understand that."

"Angry doesn’t cover it old man and I swear when I get out..."

My father released a gasp and it was all clear where Evie got her dramatic flair from. "You misunderstand darling daughter because what do you mean when? You are never getting out and I thought I made it clear."

"He will come for me you know?" I said and the smirk on my father’s face vanished, "Reagan, he will come for me and I can’t wait to see the look on your face when he does. But don’t worry father, I will still make sure the last face you will be seeing is mine as I drive the dagger into your chest!"
