Wives g******e escape

We have a wedding to prepare

Wiseman Fagoore P.O.V***

I have to save her at all cost. No matter what. I have to make her submit to my saving plan...

I have friends abroad (in 2 or 3 other kingdoms), who own me favors and will gladly receive and keep my daughter safe.

The king will never be able to find her ever. I have to send her away, together with her junior sister (they never know, if Shelorna flee away, the king may want to punish me by taking her younger sister on her behalf, something I really may not survive).

I would rather stay back with my wife and face the consequences. Time is running down and we are dangerously approaching the hours for the royal guards to present at our mansion doors and ask us to hand our precious little girl.

We should then act quickly and bring her to a secret passage where i have loyal servants already waiting for her, and ready to start their trip to a foreign kingdom.

She must leave tonight, because tomorrow morning will be too late.

The only difficulty i am facing now is she's always had feelings for the twin king Zedon, to the point she doesn't want to see the death knocking at her door. I don't care about her blinded love, I'm her father, ineed to save her. At all cost...

- "My little love Sheshe, I called for you so that we can talk about the king's decision, to which I have a solution..."

But she interrupts me rudely, for the very first time of my life,

- "stop Father! I will marry his highness the twin king Zedon tomorrow! no matter the issue."

The sparks and determination in her eyes speak volume.

  "I really do love him Father. And I can't turn down the opportunity to finally be with him and let my happiness slip away."

She explains simply to me with pleading eyes as if trying to make me understand or approve her suicidal decision.

What a stubborn girl, she is making it difficult.

If she doesn't comply, I'll have to her, even if she hates me later.

I will never let her stay and marry that man and get herself killed.

As if reading my mind she continues :

- "I know you&mum are afraid for my life. But I can assure you nothing will happen to me. The king will not kill me, trust me, I will be the one to make this women g******e stop."

I am hell shocked by her words. I know my daughter to be of a great wisdom, but how could she think the king in his actual emotional state will fall in love with her in just one night and let her live and just stop his murderous revenge ?

I'm thinking in myself.

I have to try and bring her back to reason without using force.

- "Daughter of mine, do you think yourself better than the 973 women the king bedded before you ?" (I need to be harsh for her to understand her error)

"Are you more beautiful, smart, talented and skilled than all of them ?? Hm ?"

I ask her but not to receive any answer as I continue,

  "The man we're talking about has married all kind of extraordinary beauties and then, the day after, killed every single one. Only lady Olivia from Butcher Oliver's family was killed 02days after her wedding, because the king didn't touch her the first night, due to her extreme nervousness in losing  her innocence, as he didn't want to force himself on her."

She looked at me, eyes and mouth wide opened, shocked by this revelations.

Of course the numbers and details of the king's victim were kept secret and only known by the kingdom's highest hierarchy.

I come closer, holding her by the shoulders and looking at her straight in the eyes almost begging

  "I know you are everything but stupid. Can't you see the coldness and carelessness in the king's attitude since almost 03 years ? Believe me little flower, despite all your vertue and inner kindness and even physical beauty, the twin king will not spare your life.

Please run away from here and save your mother and I from a hearth attack. You have everything a man could desire in a woman and I am so proud of you, wherever you are in this world, you can find a good husband and forget the king, start a family and live a peaceful life. Please do this for our family."

I ended this phrase with a shaking voice, showing my inner turmoil, definitely more than ready to coerce with her if she still refuses to cooperate.

But her next affirmations take me off guard, hit me and stop me from doing what I was readying to...

- "I have a plan Father. A great plan. Impossible to miss it."

I am dumbfounded by my own stupidity. Of course she has a plan. How will I be so fool as to think the brilliant and wise Shelorna will gladly go to the lion's den without a backup plan.

She was the kind of girl who always had foresight and wisdom. While a child again, she had more maturity than others of the same age and because of her loving, caring &joyful nature, she would back then give advices that saved more than one from spanking or drudgery, or even worse from aggressions and even death. More over she knew how to repair broken hearts, she always had the right words and manners.

She is very kind hearted and smart.

I guess I was too afraid to lose her that I stopped thinking.

   "Okay, i am listening."

Not that I do not trust her, just that I have to make sure she in deed had a plan that is worth the risk. Could a little naive's plan stand the wrath and fury of a king ???

- "I can't tell you dad. I will do it with Gloriana. Please i want you to just trust us. And this is the last favor I ask you. Please, let me marry the twin king Zedon tomorrow, carry out my plan and stop all this killing"

she begged with joined hands.

While hearing her name, her sister bursts from nowhere, comes to me and whispers in my ears, in a way that only me can hear : "father..."

Then takes a step back, now uttering words for both Shelorna and I to hear

- "Don't worry Father. We will be fine."

At that, I release a breath I wasn't aware i was withholding.

Gloriana my 2nd daughter has that effect on me. She's very talented in combat and military strategy. Many advices I have given to the king in that field came from her, and succeeded perfectly. She recently joined the kingdom army's ranks and I always feel Shelorna more secured whenever she's around.

For that, I know even if her elder sister sleeps with the king and that whatever they plan doesn't work, she can easily manage their escape at anytime before they could kill Shelorna.

- "Okay. At least assure me you are not going to kill the king ?" I retort.

- "I would have love to do that Father, but Shelorna here will send me directly to hell for killing her great love."

We both laughed at it when Shelorna rolled her eyes, smiling a bit, I guess for seeing me a little relax now.

- "Come on Glogirl, snap your killing desires and let's go! we have a wedding to prepare. And thanks for yourq trust dad." she snapped over her shoulders while leaving my office her junior sister following right behind.

Just after them their mother, Eleanor comes out from the hidden piece she was staying in from the beginning, her eyes reddened and swollen from crying and she throws herself at me as I hug her tightly.

- "We need a backup plan hubby. They are so carefree and I am really afraid they..."

I shush and smile at her. As shelorna is going with Gloriana as her bride's maid, I already have the backup plan...
