"I'll be a monster and I'll kill Dowager's with my own hands" I swore as I stared down at my dad's lifeless body with tear-filled eyes.
Dowager had captured my dad who was a merchant on his way to buy some rare goods outside the Jungyong Province. She sent her guards to me and demanded for the sacred pearl that had been a generational asset in my family. As long as I could remember the pearl had been passed down from my great great great great grandfather until it reached my father. Why Dowager wanted our family asset is what I couldn't fathom. Since my father's life was on the line I took the pearl from my father's closet and followed her guards to the palace rather angrily demanding for my father's release. "Where's my father?" I asked as soon as I entered Dowager's courtroom. "Where's the sacred pearl?" she asked me with an evil grin. Without thinking twice I handed over the pearl to her. "Release my father this instant!" I said. Dowager much to my annoyance assessed the pearl and kept nodding her head. "Release my father!" I shouted even louder. "You're such a nuisance" Dowager said. "Guards lock her up". "Let my father go. If anything happens to him you're gonna regret. Don't lay even a finger on my father" I screamed at Dowager as I was dragged by her guards out of her courtroom.
I was thrown into a very dark cell. It smelt really old and it was located at the part of the palace where no one went. I sat imagining all that Dowager could possibly do to my dad. Each time I imagined something, I'll wave it off my mind and console myself with the fact that since my dad took care of her, she wouldn't hurt him. The chains on my hands began to hurt my skin. It cut gradually into my skin and pained badly. I tried to get my mind off my own pain and offer prayers to the gods for the safety of my father. As I prayed, I remembered how close Dowager and I were. What made her to change? Could possibly be her marriage to the Crown Prince that had cracker her skull? As I wondered and wondered I gradually fell asleep. The clanging of keys and shaking of rods was what woke me up. I opened my eyes and couldn't make out anything from what my eyes met. Then a guard with a poorly lit lamp came in and released me. "Her Majesty, the Princess Dowager asks to see you" he said as he undid the chains on my hands. As fast as I could I ran to Dowager's courtroom. Without hesitation I flung the doors opened but she wasn't there. I went round looking for Dowager and probably my dad. As I ran towards the royal garden I saw Dowager pointing a knife at my dad. She had seen me and she gave me her evil smile. That's when everything dawned on me. Dowager had it all planned out. She just wanted to possess the sacred pearl. She didn't care about my dad's life.
I felt so angered within me. I vowed to deal with Dowager even till I die but first I had to give my dad a befitting burial. He was a noble man and loyal subject who deserved to live a long life but thanks to Dowager he had to die like a chicken.
Nobody knew the truth about my father's death. They all thought that he was killed by some wicked people as he traveled. They all sympathised with me. I didn't say anything I was waiting for the perfect day to drop the bomb and send Dowager on her knees begging me.
