Rising Winds of Fate
Chapter Twenty: The King's Malevolent Scheme

The grand chamber of the King's palace was a cavernous hall, adorned with opulent tapestries and gilded pillars. The throne itself, a massive, imposing structure, was made of the finest silver and encrusted with jewels that glittered like stars in the dimly lit room.

On this night, the King sat upon his regal seat, his demeanor both regal and menacing. His eyes, sharp and calculating, were fixed on the reports that had just been delivered by his network of spies. Whispers of rebellion, defiance, and a brewing storm had reached his ears, and he listened intently to the accounts of Amelia, Jace, and John's plans to overthrow him.

As the whispered details of their audacious scheme filled the chamber, the King's laughter began to echo ominously. It was a mocking laugh, one that conveyed his contempt for those who dared to challenge his iron-fisted rule. His laughter seemed to reverberate off the very walls of the palace, a chilling reminder of his power.

"They dare to challenge me?" the King mused aloud, his voice dripping with disdain. "A mere girl, a young man, and a guardian. They think they can defy me?"

The King's dark eyes gleamed with malevolence as he contemplated his next move. He knew that underestimating his adversaries would be a grave mistake. Though they may appear as a disparate group, he sensed a determination and unity among them that posed a real threat to his reign.

With a wave of his hand, he summoned his trusted advisers, who entered the chamber with a sense of trepidation. The King issued his orders with a tone of authority that brooked no dissent. "Prepare our troops," he commanded. "I want an ambush—a surprise attack on the night of the next full moon, which is but two days away."

His advisers exchanged uneasy glances but dared not question their sovereign. They understood the gravity of the situation and the King's obsession with maintaining his grip on power.

As the advisers hastened to carry out his orders, the King turned his attention to the Queen, who stood by his side with a forced smile. Her beauty was undeniable, her presence regal, but she had become an inconvenient obstacle to his insatiable ambition.

The King's gaze bore into his wife as he contemplated her fate. In the depths of his heart, he harbored sinister intentions. He had long grown weary of their marriage, viewing it as a mere political alliance that had outlived its usefulness. The Queen's influence over him was waning, and he yearned for a future unburdened by her presence.

In a voice that sent shivers down the spines of those in the chamber, the King spoke to the Queen, his words laced with cruel intent. "My dear," he said, his tone dripping with false sweetness, "there are matters of state that require my full attention. I fear I must relieve you of your duties as my queen."

The Queen's eyes widened in shock, and she opened her mouth to protest, but the King's icy stare silenced her. He had already set his plans in motion, arranging for her discreet removal from the palace, her exile a foregone conclusion.

The King's thoughts turned back to Amelia, the full-blooded silver girl who had become a thorn in his side. She was the focal point of the prophecy—a symbol of hope and rebellion that threatened to upend his rule. Her very existence posed a challenge to his authority, and he was determined to crush her and all who dared to support her.

As the King plotted his sinister machinations, he couldn't help but revel in the impending confrontation. "I cannot wait to see you, my dear Amelia," he whispered to himself, a wicked smile playing on his lips.

The fate of the kingdom hung in the balance, and the full-blooded silver prophecy had ignited a dangerous fire that would soon engulf them all. The King's malevolent scheme was set in motion, and the battle for power and freedom loomed on the horizon.
