SWNOVELS Chapter You will die for me to survive
Jefferson's POV
Another week had passed and I was feeling nothing but pain, I have been starved, because they knew the moment I eat something, I might regain my strength and escape.
I took a deep breath, when I noticed the creaking sound of the jail's door being pried open, my vision was blurry, I could barely understand who it was.
"I just like looking at your vulnerable state" I couldn't see the face, but I can understand the voice of my mate's father..
"Come here we need to present you to the King" he gripped me roughly, as the silver chains burned my skinned.
"Argh" I groaned, but I'll never beg or summit to anyone.
He then managed to remove the chains wrapped around my neck, and legs making me feel partly free, but not completely free, he started walking with me towards the passage that led to another room, I was surprised, when I noticed the poeple around there, they were all dressed in well Armoured clothes with the evident of silver weapons and my cell was in the deepest part of it.
We continued walking for almost an hour and my feet was already sore, whenever he darts his eyes towards me, he would have that wicked smile on his face, before he started heading towards the door, where a smile managed to sprawl on his lips. He gently opened the door making me heaved a sigh, I don't know what to do, but the only thing that would ever make me better at this moment, was just to her face.
The only thing that's making me strong, it's because I can still feel her heartbeat, but this time, it's more faster. Which shows she's stronger.
I took a deep breath, when I saw the blaring light shown on me, I had to close my eyes, while trying to keep a calm expression, I then noticed well abled men, walked towards me, before they eventually had me in their predatory grip, they started dragging me to a well carved hall and the walls was well corrugated with marble.
I noticed a man who was sitting on his mighty throne, he had a smirk on his face.
"I never knew the greatest beast, that everyone has always feared, would eventually look this weak and vulnerable" he said with a smirk etched on his face, before he took graceful strides towards me and he touched my cheekbone, I groaned, because his touched very venomous and acidic.
I then felt my skin burned, it was more like I was poured with acid, that was when I came to realize that he was truly a threat.
"Now you see for yourself right".
"See what?"
"That this is who I am, I'm a threat to my own Kingdom, because of one mistake that I did" he clenched his fist, while he remembered what had transpired to him in the past. "So what is my own business, I don't care if you are a threat or not" I said in nothing but rage.
He then walked back to sit on his throne, he heaved a sigh, before he started.
"Before I tell you the reason why I want you, I'll first have to tell what happened to me, that ended making me acidic..." He trailed, before darting his gaze towards his guards. "You can leave now, I'll want some private time with him".
The guards obeyed and they left, while leaving me alone with him with a witch, she was looking at me with a smirk, I can perceived her scent, which made me know that she's a witch.
His touch on my cheekbone,made me feel nothing but pains, and it was clear enough that I was not healing anytime soon, I tried as much to keep a calm expression, before I Heard his voice resonates, while trying to continue with his speech.

"I am a ruthless king and I hate poeple to come in between my way and there was a coven that was a threat to me, so I killed every member of that coven but..." He pursed, only to noticed his fist was clenched in a tight balls. "But what?" I asked curiously, wondering what happened.
"But... there was one witch that I would continue to hate for the rest of my life, she was the crone of that coven, she used her life to cast a deadly spell on me, which was to become a threat to my own poeple, by becoming acidic, just from my touch, can kill anyone around me, And I'm surprised you are even alive despite touching you" he said, I was Inwardly glad with what the witch did though, because she was so brave.
"I can't make love with my wife, I can't touch my children, it's been ten years now without making love with my wife and I needed a desperate solution, that's when the witch beside me here, offered the solution that I needed " he said gently, almost sadly.
I kept quiet, waiting for him to continue.
"And I was glad to know that you are the solution I have been waiting for, the solution that I never knew I had, I thought I had lost hope, but I'm glad, that hope is not yet lost ".
"I don't understand how I'll be of any help, because I don't break curses bestowed by a witch " I said, which made him plaster a smirk on his face before he said the words I least expected.
"You will die for me to survive, I'll take your blood in other for me to survive, which would end up making you dead" he said. his words hit me hard, but I pretended not to be affected by his words, so I kept quiet without saying a word, while trying to wrap my head around the whole ordeal, before he eventually said the words I needed to hear.
"After telling you all these, I have decided to give you the span of two days, you will get yourself ready and I'll other some servants to clean you up, because you look so dirty".
