he hates Victoria just because she is a woman, After years of his rule began issuing a lot of orders for exterminating any rights of women, Many women were killed by his orders, He was married by order of his mother to have a son for fear of being assassinated as he had with his father, but it turned out that he could not have children,
he Issued a lot of orders that restrict women’s freedom, It also reinforced the idea of enslavement the women until it became the habits of the males of his people, Preventing women from going out of the house or wandering around the popular markets, he eliminated her from the society, He even ordered to killing of all the girls babies, but he retracted his decision after a period of fear of the disappearance of the presence of women completely, which leads to their destruction.
he makes a deal with Victoria later after the number of women decreased in exchange for sending trained men to her also sent to some of her youth people to receive training as well.
He changed his condition very much after he met Eliza and loved her and married her but when he felt that she could betray him, And discovered that he loved her beauty no more, He returned to his former cruelty, he found himself loving beautiful women some of them gets him bored so he killed them as he did before and some of them escaped and were also killed.
His ears picked up a man’s call for his name, he turned to the sound source to find Eliza in front of him.
“Joseph, can I know exactly what is going on in your head?” She said sharply.
“What do you mean by this?”
“Do not try to ignore, I know you well and I understand the purpose of your actions. What made you put Thomas among the departed?”
Joseph raised his eyebrows with disapproval after he began to feel annoyed by her words and then said sarcastically: “And since when I take your opinion of my own decisions, which belong to the kingdoms”
Eliza confused by his decision “ why you send him away from Erura?”
Joseph stared at her for a moment, amazed at her daring, almost forgotten after all those years she had spent silent and satisfied, but she did all this to keep Erura safe. He smiled, simply saying, trying to provoke:” Yes, I did I send him away to separate them”.
Eliza felt an internal collapse and weakness of her strength and she realized that she could not do anything to him and he did not care about her or her anger, nothing stops him from what he wants.
“Please do what you want, but do not take my little away from me enough that you prevented me from seeing her and talking to her as soon as she reached the age of eight, do not deprive her of her glamor”
He did not want to hear her voice anyway and was not in a temperament allowed him to hear the sound of wailing and crying, he approached her and grabbed her shoulders and then said: “Listen, I do not want to hear any of your sounds, she will live as you live and I will marry her Even if you cry for the rest of your life” A smile showed on his face as Eliza’s eyes widened and she felt as if she was about to fall, to add “ I will not tire myself to convince you but to know how good I’m, I will allow you to talk to your nephew so she will share the palace with you and get closer to each other as you dreamed years ago, Is not this wonderful dear?”
He makes fun of her as he always does. She felt very pain and distress and was about to collapse to weep for her pain.
Chapter 30
Location: Planet Earth
S he had to collect a hundred points until she got the smallest teddy bear present. she took the first arrow between her fingers and then started trying to focus on the center where she could get 200 points at once, how wonderful it would be if she could hit the goal!
She threw the arrow after several seconds hoping to hit the goal but the arrow went down before it arrived, it was disappointing but there were still two attempts, she tried this time not to focus on any goal, just leave it to chance and hit the arrow plate actually this time, but it did not score only ten points, She sighed uneasily while she was disappointed and continued to stare at the plate in front of her. Perhaps she would be lucky and hit the target this time,
she was surprised when she noticed the young man who stood beside her holding her last arrow between his fingers and he is looking at the plate trying to release the arrow, But what does he do? And why is her last chance wasted by him? What is this boldness that made him act without her permission? But her thoughts did not last long she saw the arrow hit the midpoint easily. he harvested 200 points from the first time, Violet stood staring at the plate shocked and disbelieving, but his voice interrupted her state as he says: “What will you choose?” she looked at him as if he knew her for some time as if it did not come from nowhere.
“You can choose what you want,” said the man who stands in the shop.
she woke up from her stupidity and then she said as she looked at the dolls: “I want a big bear doll that” She pointed to one of the largest puppets. It was a large brown bear.
The man picked up the doll from the top and then handed it to her. He said, smiling: “here is your prize, you are lucky”
Violet took the bear doll, it’s the first time to get a gift from this game, she looked at the doll and then smiled and said excitedly as she looks at Leonardo with gratitude:” Thank you”
Leonardo felt some confusion and was afraid of the consequences of his rush and sudden intervention, but he swore to risk and try, look at Violet then said: “ it’s okay”
“It’s strange to ask you about your name now, more than two weeks after you were at university, but in fact” she paused a little and then smiled “you were frightening that day”
He remained silent for a moment, making Violet more confused. has she said something that could not be said, she should not makes him remembered that incident. He looked at her without changing his facial expressions and said:
“My name is Leonardo” He paused a little and thought about what he will say. after he realized that he had to ask her name too, but he really knew it. “Your name is Violet right?”
She looked at him with surprise and said: “ how did you know?”
He should have expected such a question from the beginning, but as usual, he does not master the art of talking to others.
“What do you expect from a person who has been sitting for the past period in a university cafeteria staring at everyone?”
“It seems that this young shy silent knows a lot”
He stared at her cunning looks, but he did not think of responding to what she said but suddenly added: “Do you like violet flowers?”
“Yes, I love her. My mother has decorated all over our house with purple flowers since I was a child so she called me Violet because of his love for this kind of flower”
“I once passed a garden full of violet flowers that were very charming,” Leo said.
“In this City?”
“No, not here, but where I live” Leonardo once remembered his tour of the neighborhood where Albert’s house was so impressed by the beauty of violet flowers as he walked around a park.
Violet felt excited when he touched on where he lived. She knew he belonged to the general public and lived in the outside world, which had always been curious to discover that world she tried to hide her enthusiasm and passion: “Maybe you’ll take me there to visit that place, I love any place where there are violet flowers”
Leonardo wanted to take her out of the city and finish the job as soon as possible, but it would not be that easy and she could not trust him so quickly.
Before he answered anything, he heard the voice of someone calling her name and she began waving her hand smiling, he turns looked the source of the sound to found Violet’s friend, which always with her in the university,
Jacqueline looks at Leo, she knew that he was the young man who hit Daniel and Jack and began to look at Violet in confusion and she approached her hesitantly. She said: “We’ve been waiting for you for a while, Violet, why are you late?”
Violet smiled as she lifted
the bear’s doll in front of Jacqueline and then said excitedly: “I won for the first time thanks to Leonardo’s skill in throwing the arrow and scoring the goal”
“Leonardo may like to join us,” Violet said while both Jacqueline and Daniel began to look at her with resentment at her suggestion, even though she knew that they did not want to.
Leonardo looked around him and was sure he was not a desirable person, but he really does not care about being with them as much as he cares for Violet and achieved his goals and he does not need to exist among people who reject him and do not accept his presence, he replied immediately: “No I do not like playing I came to take a look at the place only, thank you for calling”
Daniel was relieved by Leonardo’s initiative to reject, and Violet felt resentful about her failure to try to fix things a bit. But she just said to Leonardo before she left with her colleagues: “Maybe I’ll see you later”
Violet noticed Daniel’s car in front of the door. he told her he would come today, so she went to wash her face and then get some coffee to start her day, she walked down the stairs toward the kitchen, wondering why she had not seen Daniel so far. He seemed to have been here for some time and yet she had not seen him. Maybe he was talking to her mother or her father, she walks beside her father office room, and heard what makes her approach the door.
“I ordered you to get away from her and that was an order.” she heard her father’s voice screaming and he seemed very angry.
“I told you that she will remain my sister and I will never go away from her. I dont care about your orders,” Daniel replied sharply.
Alfred’s features became more acute as he listened to his son’s response,
“Violet is not your sister. She understands that she does not belong to us and does not belong to our world. she’s just a bastard. We do not know where she belongs to, I brought her to my family to cover the scandal of her day, she is not even Sandra’s daughter, did you understand? “
Violet, who was standing behind the door, listened to their conversation in silence. Her eyes filled with tears and her heart beat hard. Only one sentence was heard, “She was just a bastard. She was not even Sandra’s daughter and she did not belong to this world.” She put her hand on her mouth to stop her crying and her tears falling hot on her cheek.
Daniel continued to look at his father, and his strength faded, and his eyes twinkled and his fierce looks turned into another broken and sad one. He could not believe what his father had said.
“I will never forgive you,” said Daniel, with words scattered in a sad and broken tone, and inside him, he felt the fire burning.
Violet climbed the stairs quickly before Daniel and Alfred noticed her presence and she felt that she would lose consciousness.
She entered her room and closed the door and closed it and then sat on the floor and began to cry and cry and her tears do not stop falling, her father words were repeatedly in her mind as if she were in a nightmare, and she felt the suffocation dominated her.
A message comes to his phone, which was on the table to wake him from his wounds, so he thought that the message is from Albert, but when he looked at his phone screen, he was stunned. It was not usual to send messages to him in the early morning. he Clicks on the message and then starts reading its short text.
“Hello Leonardo, I was wondering if we could go out today outside the city, I’m excited to see the place of violet flowers, that you talked about last week. Can we come out an hour later? “
His relationship with Violet began to grow, he began to spend time with him and talked to him a lot. she felt like a puzzle that she wanted to recognize and solve. She wanted to know more about the dark side of his life,
He thought to call Albert to tell him that they with visiting him next day to lunch with her to gain her confidence so that next time to come out with more secrecy and to finish the mission.
Violet parked her car close to their university, as Leonardo asked her to do, she wanted to leave the house very hard but did not know where to go or who to go to.
she saw him as he approaches the car, he wore a coat and black trousers, as usual, he opened the car door and sat in the next seat.
“So where we go?” Violet said.
“To my uncle house, He lives outside this city and I told him that we will come to lunch and then we can go to where the flowers, also the snow did not fall as profusely as here and we can move more freely “
Violet was surprised as he was excited about their journey, a smile that looked pale because of the pallor of her face and left the tears marks on her face, despite trying to hide it with makeups.
“But how will we get out? As far as I know, there is a gate that does not allow us to get out”
“I have a special card that allows me to go out,” Leo said.
Violet nodded to feel some relief. As if she were a prisoner who would leave the prison,
Engel stood on the sidewalk on the other side of the street and she hurried to open her car door and catch up with them. she sat behind the wheel and quickly put the keys and run the car to go behind them before losing them, but fortunately, the street was almost empty because of that atmosphere. She did not expect to be so lucky to see Leonardo and Violet together by chance.
she followed them for about half an hour or more and began to move away from the residential areas. The place around them began to be empty of life and she was curious about their destination.
she stopped when she began to hint at a large barrier blocking the road, she watched Leonardo descend from the car to approach the gate side and only seconds until the gate was opened. She could not see what he had done exactly, Leonardo returned to ride the car again and the gate close behind them immediately.
Angel sighed uneasily when the gate closed behind them. They were definitely out of town, which meant that Violet had broken one of the laws. She smiled. she realized how wonderful that opportunity she had on a silver plate to get rid of Violet.
Violet was trying to keep her calm and not show the tension she felt as they waited in front of Albert’s door after Leonardo knocked on the doorbell. She was very interested in watching everything around her, everything she wanted to recognize in the outside world by making her reflect on all the details.
The door of the house opened to show Albert behind it, who appeared to Violet as if in his fifth decade with his black hair, He stared at them for a second and then he smiled and said: “Welcome, come in”
Albert saluted Leonardo and then Violet smiled warmly to ask them to sit in the lounge on the couch. This was the simplest home Violet ever saw, so it was built very ordinarily in contrast to the fancy houses in their city.
“I can not believe the advent of this historic day when I could see one of Leo’s colleagues,” Albert said with a smile as he headed for the kitchen. He began to take out some glass dishes from the cupboard.
Violet smiled and she looked at Leonardo then said: “I can believe this easily I saw it with my eyes”
Although was cold outside and snow covered everywhere, Violet insisted on going to violet flowers after finishing lunch, Although she knows there is a very high possibility that flowers will not survive in this cold climate, she is still determined to go, It was not far from Albert’s house and it was only ten minutes before they reached a park on the public street and the sun was about to down,
Leonardo stood in front of a tree a little way from the place of the games. There was a yard full of snow: “Here were the violet flowers before they removed the insulation that protects them from the cold and winter,” Leonardo said.
Violet began walking, as Leonardo pointed out, then bent to see the close-up Violet flower, the only one who remained alive without dying under the piles of snow, “ you’re lucky you find one”
“Does not your uncle have any family?” She said to him after that question jumped on her head.
“No, he is alone,” Leo said.
“I felt so and it seems sa
d I think he has a problem,” Violet said.
Leonardo felt that Violet had the ability to understand the people around her. Perhaps this is normal,
“He is secretive and does not like to talk about his problems even with me”
“Sometimes we become secretive because we didn’t find someone who cares about us, try to make him feel that you care about him then he will show you what he feels and you will be able to help him, and despite everything, he is a fun person” She paused a little and then followed, raising her eyebrows “And what’s your problem? I think it’s bigger than your uncle problem”
He looked at her with surprise and then replied: “And how do you know?”
She smiled and said: “Of your actions, do not look like your uncle, although I can see his grief but he has a sense of humor very fun and also that he is a relatively social person”
Violet approached one of the seats and began to remove the snow from it and then she said: Well, I can understand your uncle because he is faced the life, he is oldest but what makes a young man like you feel like he is living this day against his will?”
Leonardo did not know if what Violet had just said was clear to all, or was she able to understand what people were hiding from grief? He really began every day of his life against his will.
“I think you were not okay this morning,” he said after sensing something of her words and remembering how she had been this morning, but he did not care to ask her then.
She paused a little and then said, “Sometimes we live and sink into our world, we live in our dreams to forget our reality”
Leonardo shared the smile without fully comprehending his reaction, perhaps because he thought that everyone he met wanted to teach him something.
