Royal Princess: Doted On By The Mafia King

Chapter 237 - THE PROTEST

On the way to the hotel, she chose to stay in, she went through the videos on the internet about the protest. 

Live, just as she was watching it, she saw a group of soldiers attacking and apprehending some of the protesters in very brutal manners that had her gripping her heart.

She saw the brutality her people were treated in and she knew she had to speak up. She planned to call Anna who was a content creator or she could do a Livestream. 

Anna was popular and she has made a name for herself like many celebrities. 

She was a social media celebrity and she knew that although it might not be the fastest and most effective means for her to tell the world that she was with her people and she was not in support of what was happening to them, she knew she had to try with the hope that Anna lets her. 

She was about to call her when Liam's call came through. "You must not do anything stupid while you are in B City or I will not be able to clean after you," he warned her without even bothering to say hello to her. 

"I never told you clean after me," she argued back angrily as she pulled the phone away from her ear and hung up while glaring at the ceiling-to-floor window in front of her. 

She huffed and puffed unable to believe what she just heard. She was very angry because he promised to take care of her and he told her to do whatever she saw fit to do without caring for the outcomes because he was going to be her shield. 

She closed her eyes and rested her back against the backrest of the chair after a few minutes of huffing and puffing. 

She was finally relaxed and she could face what happened to her. Feeling relaxed was not perfect for such a moment because it made her feel pathetic and weak. 

She was not sure if she could continue that way. Tears streamed down the side of her face as she opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling with her vision blurred by tears. 

She could not believe that she was mistreated by the very man who made her believe in him and trust him and his ability to protect her. 

Her phone rang after an hour and she found out he was the one. She was angry that she did not bother to pick up the call. She wondered how he expected her to take the throne and become Queen if her people were mistreated. 

She was aware that there was no way he was not witnessing what was happening. Some angry southern youths went into a research institute and kidnapped two scientists. 

It caused a ripple and her father gave an order that the scientists must be saved by any means possible. She did not know what happened but the youths were shot dead and the scientists were saved. 

Afterward, one of the scientists confessed that they were well taken care of the youths wanted to scare the government and the northerners into returning their parents and family members because now everyone including the north, south and other countries believed that the north and the royal family were responsible for what happened to the scientists.

She did not pick up his call while she did not call Anna scared by his sudden call as though he knew what she was about to do. She was well protected by the Hart family guards but she was still scared being alone in this family yet a lonely city.

Her assistant came to her when her dinner was served in the room because she refused to eat outside or leave her room. 

"I want you to compile information about all the missing scientists both from the north and the south. I want all the details about when they disappeared and what has happened since then. I want to know what the police told their families about when they reported them missing and about their family," she ordered her assistant as she fixed her gaze on the notepad, she was writing something on.

"I have some but not all. The scientists are many and it will be hard to gather all the information from more than two decades ago," her assistant told her seriously. 

"I don't care how long it will take you on a normal day but I need it immediately. Get them ready for me before the end of this week," she told her seriously. "You could also submit it in batches."

"Yes, your highness."

Rose looked at the meal on the table and looked away with a sour expression. She did not have an appetite at all but she knew that it was only right for her to eat all she could because she needed the maximum physical strength for what was ahead of her. 

She picked up her knife and fork and began to cut into the meat. She remembered Liam and glanced at the vibrating phone on the table beside her hand. 

The caller's ID indicated that it was him calling her again after dozens of trials. She refused to pick up his call because she was still angry with him. 

In a while, the call ended and another message entered. 

***

Liam rushed out of his car with his men behind him before the car stopped completely. He raised his head to the floor he heard Rose was on and he ran into the building. 

He had barely stepped into the room when there was an explosion. He did not stop as he continue running. The elevators were not responding and he was forced to take stairs to the dozens of floors above the ground that she was in. 

"Please, tell me you read my message," he begged as he took the steps painfully yet hurriedly to get to her hoping she was not too close to the bomb. 

He regrated not getting involved with her security since she was in B City and away from his protection. He wished he sent more of his men to go after her when she left. 

He trusted that his father's men went enough but he could not trust that they would not drift to the enemy's side. 

His father was going to ensure that she was well secured but if one of his well-trusted men decides to betray them then there was nothing they would be able to do early enough to prevent a catastrophe.
