Royal Princess: Doted On By The Mafia King

Chapter 179 - "I'm Sorry"

Her heart began beating hard and fast as she moved her finger on the mouse to unravel the secrets in them. She felt scared and paused. Was she sure she could handle whatever was in the video?

Her hand shook before finally clicking on the first video file. Her mother's beautiful face suddenly appeared on the screen of the laptop with her smile that showed a very beautiful set of dimples she inherited from her.

She could not hold back the tears than began rolling down her face. Her mother seemed to have sat down very close to the screen making her eyes on the camera look as though Rose was actually having a video call with her.

"Mother, Mum . . . ," she sobbed as her shoulder shook violently. She missed her mother so much. She has never felt it so much until now.. She have not taken noticed how lonely she felt without her mother by her side growing up in the orphanage home, bullied and mistreated and moving to the Whitfred mansion where she had to see her mother's look alike so frequently.

She reached towards the screen as tears flooded down her cheeks. The person on the screen smiled in a bright manner as though she was seeing Rose. The attractive dimple on her cheeks deepened as her smile broadened.

The more she watched, the more her heart felt like it was getting ripped into two. She placed her hand on her chest. It was very suffocating, this feeling of seeing someone you miss so much who is long gone, gone that it was not possible for her to touch her again.

"Mum!!!" she cried out gasping as the feeling came to her in a very overwhelming manner. "I missed you."

"Rosaline, my princess, I am sorry," she heard her mother say in a soft voice loud enough to be heard over her painful whimper.

"No, it is my fault. It is my fault. I did it all. I caused it all. If only I had not given them the chance. I am sorry I believed her and dragged you along. I am sorry. I am sorry mum," she cried shaking her head as she kept patting her chest to take the blame on her fragile shoulders. "I caused it all."

"I am sorry. I am sorry I could not protect you and our people. I am sorry that when you get to watch this video, I will be long gone. I will be gone far away from you. However, I want you to remember that the palace is where you belong. My kingdom is yours.

"Don't leave the palace when I am gone. You must become Queen after me and separate our kingdom. Give our people the freedom they deserve. You are the only person who can make that happen. No matter how hard it might get, don't leave the palace. It is your home. It is your birthright," her mother's smile slowly disappeared as a sad but determined expression took over.

"I am sorry that I have to give you such a hard task but if you don't do it, who will? As soon as he marries her, it will be the end of our people. Rosaline, I am sorry. I am sorry," her mother began crying. She turned away from the camera to hide her tears and face from her daughter.

"They are planning something. My father is dead and I married the person he never wanted to me to marry. I should have listened to him. They killed him. They killed your grandfather and they are going to try to kill us but I won't let that happen. I will make a deal with them.

"I will make them let you live. If you live, you must get what is rightfully yours. People are dying every day because of the mistake I made. They are killing them every day in the name of some of experiment. You must stop the experiment. It will take them years to discover it but when they do, it will be the end of us all. Their greed is beyond this world."

Rose had long stopped crying as she focused on her what her mother was saying. What experiment could that be? She really wondered and this is a new task for her although she hoped that clues might be left in the other videos or her mother will tell her everything before the end of the video. Her mother paused for a while and looked down at her fingers.

"I am sorry," her mother said smiling embarrassingly, she mopped the tears off her face with a handkerchief and looked at the video with her wet green eyes. "I should have never added this. In fact, I don't think what I am saying is right. I should not do this to you. I should let you leave your life but what if they try to kill you too in the future?

"When the research is done, they will kill everybody and you might be their first victim." Her mother looked down at her hands again and looked at the video pleadingly. "This video did not turn out to be half as decent as I want it to be." She gulped as her hands fought against each other on her lap. "I don't know what to say again. I can't believe that this is happening.

"You are actually outside playing with your dad in the garden but I had to take this video. The kingdom is going through serious financial crisis and it is mainly affecting our people so he is not bothered by it at all. I am not saying he is the bad guy but it all started when we got married. The deaths began when I was pregnant of you.

"You should trust no one. It is not easy to do that at all but try. It is better to be alert leaving peacefully and getting stabbed suddenly. I will make a deal with them and any other people I can so that you will protected. When I was pregnant for you, I saw a very young boy. He suddenly walked up to me among the kids I went to visit in a foster home and he told me I was pregnant for a girl.

"I don't know how he knew but he also told me that he will protect you. I promised me. I thought he was joking but only a few days ago, I saw him again and he told me not to make the deal with them but there is nothing I can do at this moment."

Rose found herself very confused and she had no idea what to think.

Her mother chuckled nervously. "This should have been better. I will keep this for now. I will try to take another video later to replace this. I really let my emotions take over," her mother murmured as she stood up. The video ended with that.

Her mother must have not had enough time to record another video for her to have settled with this one. Rose mopped her tears and moved to the next video file and clicked on it. Seeing how scared nervous and paranoid her mother was in the other video, she felt a stronger desire to find out what really happened.

Her mother used to be a very calm and collected woman being the Queen and a genius but what she saw and heard in the last video was very different from who she knew her mother as.
