Twist Of Fate: Three Little Miracles

” Kill her!”

“Execute her!”NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

“Make her experience the most gruesome death!”

The crowd started to chant, it was not a surprise to all of them that someone such as Diana could commit such a big crime. Afterall, they are trained to never trust anyone.

“Silence!” Mark walked up to the microphone and said coldly. He was finding it hard to believe, yes, he had seen Diana and her mum walking towards that direction. Why did Diana go close enough when she knew it was a violation of the military rule?

The next moment, the chants died down and the peace and graveyard silence was restored, everyone was anticipating Mark’s judgement.

Then some officer walked up the large podium, holding Diana, so, she doesn’t get the chance to do anything drastic.

“Leave me alone! I -” Diana wanted to complain but a stern and icy cold look from Mark shut her off, she was shocked and heartbroken. Mark of all people should know she can’t do anything of such, but it seem like he doesn’t even want to hear her own side of the story. Then she dropped to her knees with a heavy thud, her phone falling out of her pocket and smashing on the floor.

Mark glanced at it and ordered Richarlison to look into her phone. Mark needed to be sure of the situation before passing his judgement.

Immediately the phone got to Richarlison’s hand, as he was checking the call logs an sms arrived, – beep beep- Jake? The senders phone number was saved with “Jake, my love”, Richarlison, quickly navigated to the message centre and opened the inbox, there was a message from him ten hours ago, before this newly arrived one which read, “Thanks my love, thanks for burning the ammunition house. Now, we have an upper hand and immediately we colonize sterling city, you’ll be my right hand and be the goddess of war alongside our children!”

Richarlison was extremely shocked, that he read the message over and over again. Then he screwed to the first one which read, “My love, prove to me you love me by burning down the ammunition house or I can ask you the other way round, burn down the godforsaken ammunition house before tomorrow or else you will never see your triplets again!… Whichever tone or way you choose. You get my point”

Calculating back to 10 hours ago, it was the period of time she was talking and walking with the president general’s mother, Flora.

Flora from where she was was feeling terrible at herself as she watched. She has to do this to save his son, Otani. If she doesn’t, Otani would die in Jake’s hand, and she doesn’t want that…. But making Diana suffer pained her so much. But, she was optionless.

“When would all of this end?” She questioned her creator.

Richarlison was disappointed. He didn’t believe Diana burnt the ammunition house as the secrete investigation team proposed, but this discovery has dispelled off any reservations of doubts that he had had or trust that he had on Diana.

He turned to Mark and handed him the phone respectfully. Mark then read the message, he was heartbroken, he just didn’t let his emotions show. He trusted Diana, but look at what she did to him in return.

Mark angrily smashed the phone on the floor and it scattered into pieces. Before that, the number was cross-checked and it did belonged to Jake.

So, Diana had been in contact with Jake all along? Despicable evil being! Mark cursed, but still, he felt something was fishy and can’t afford ordering her execution. He regretted as if it never occured to him that Diana could be in touch with Jake. Afterall, he was their father.

Firstly, she is his betrothed and he needed to respect his late grandfather’s wish.

Secondly, he had fallen deeply in love with her.

“Marshal, I didn’t do it. I agree I did breached the military rule but I was not the one that burnt the ammunition house. I only went to the backyard because of the commotion I heard from there…” Diana said, in a crying tone. Tears flowing down her cheeks like an ocean.

Her kids had been taken away from her and now this? One problem after another and she seemed to have no permanent peace. Each time, there is always something to get her into trouble and disrupt her peace.

“This is a clear set up!” She said, crying.. the look Mark gave her was not a good one and she wondered what it possibly could’ve been on her phone that Mark discovered. Of a truth, she had no idea about those messages.

“Kill her!” One of the grandwar masters said in anger. By now, she should be in hell burning but Mark was delaying to pass her judgement, and it upset him.

Another of grandwar masters added, supporting his collegue, “kill this mother fucker!”

“Silence!” Mark ordered. The graveyard silence returned as everyone watched and anticipated his judgement.

Mark didn’t understand, but he was 100% unwilling to pass the judgement that everyone expects him to.

“What can he do?” He was the ex-communicando and same time president general. He has the power to withheld the execution. Mark felt he needed to go deep into this issue and if Diana is indeed guilty, he’d have to of course, execute her.

Diana was already crying. She would literally be executed few minutes from now, immediately he orders it. What pained her the most was that her kids won’t get to see her again.

“Kill her!” Mark said in a burning rage but the word’s didn’t just came out. Richarlison perfectly understood his plight.

“Execute her!” He said again, but the word’s that came out were “put her into the dungeon!”

He knew that didn’t come out well so he added, “without food or water until I find her guilty!”

That was fair enough but it didn’t boiled down well with grandwar kings and Masters and even the military officers.

“Marshall!” One of the grandwar kings called out in anger and protest to Mark’s judgement. Denoting, it was not a fair judgement. No one dared challenge the president generals order, not even these old men but they felt Mark was being impartial. This would mark the third time he was sparing her and if it were to be anyone else, by now, his or her skulls would be with the vultures to feed on.

“Marshall. She must be killed!” The grandwar kings started to chant, soon the grand war masters joined them in the protest.

Thousands of officers joined in the protest, chanting “she must be killed!”

“She can’t be spared!”

“Our life is in danger because of her betrayal!”

The chants were so disturbing that it angered Mark. He then slammed his feet on the podium that the whole podium shook, where his feet landed scattered as well, the impact of the force was so great that everyone felt his wrath.

Richarlison stood behind him, his duty is to protect Mark, come rain come sun, and that includes supporting all of his decisions.

The dead pin silence was restored and Mark then said, “I have already ordered for the replacement of the ammunition house. Before next tomorrow, the ammunition would all be replaced….” His voice was stern that no one dared made a noise.

“I didn’t disturb the government for money. I used my own money!” He added, this time with a calm tone.

The grandwar masters, kings and officers could only look at each others face in shock, still there were some stubborn officers making a noise and still murmuring the chant.

“I find something fishy about this whole issue and would investigate this issue personally. Anyone heard or caught making a fuss out of this big issue or gossiping about this issue will be killed on spot. And as I said, she would be put into the deepest dungeons without food nor water until my investigation is done! And if she is guilty, she will be executed but if proved other wise, the real culprit will be caught and executed!”

Rain had started to precipitate but very little when Mark made his order. The atmosphere and silence of the field had suddenly become tense, unlike before.

Richarlison ordered for Diana to be taken away at once. No one can’t object at this point, least he or she wants to be killed on spot.

Afterwards, Mark stepped down from the podium, with a blank expressionless face. Richarlison was the one who addressed the officers and put them in order and as well dismissed them.

Before that, he ordered and urged all of them that they all get prepared for the incoming war.

They, however, trusted the president general. It was even fair since Diana hasn’t got the opportunity to prove her self not guilty. It was even in the military conduct and it stated, “a suspect should be given an opportunity to prove his or her self not guilty, but if found guilty. They’d be make to face the full wrath of the law!”

Diana was aggressively dragged to her dungeon which was about 30 metres deep. She was throwed inside that she almost broke her arms from the impactful force of which she landed on the dungeons floor.

The dungeon was very narrow that the space wouldn’t let her sleep straight or lay down. The only light was from the dungeons opening at the top. The dungeon was dug vertically downward.

She sunk with her buttock to the bottom of the dungeon, “This is a clear set up!”

Was this why Flora insisted I followed her there? Why didn’t she came to save me? No, it can’t be her right? I went there willingly from hearing some commotions.
