Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

Emma's POV: 

I had never thought that one day I would have the chance to testify against the murderer of my friend.

My hands trembled when I looked at that vicious man, who didn't deserve to be called a king at all.

A part of me was scared, but I also felt excited, and above all, happy.

After all, I finally had the chance to avenge my friend's death.

A few days ago, when Anthony's asked me if I was willing to testify against Austin and expose his crimes to the world, I thought I was dreaming.

"Emma, don't be afraid.Justice will prevail.Please face everyone and tell them the truth," Anthony said to encourage me.

"All right!"

I held back my tears and took a deep breath before I pointed my finger at Austin.

"This man is nothing but a depraved animal! He raped and killed my dear friend Lisa!"

Then I told them everything I had witnessed with my own eyes a few years ago.

"Lisa worked as a maid at the royal palace.The king took a fancy to her because she was more beautiful than the other maids.When he asked Lisa to be his mistress, she refused him, and in return, he tried to rape her.When Lisa fought back desperately, he got furious."

I couldn't help but close my eyes to stop the tears from falling as I spoke.I took deep breaths to control my emotions because I wanted to tell everyone the whole story.

"He raped Lisa before strangled her with his own hands.He didn't let go of her throat until she stopped moving.After that, Lisa's dead body was found in a well nearby.It had decayed that we could hardly recognize her.Everyone thought that she died from drowning.I was just outside the room where Lisa died.I heard her screaming and crying for help, but no one came.Although I was able to take photos through the crack between the door and the door frame, I didn't dare to speak up about it earlier because I knew that no one would believe a maid."

I kept picturing Lisa's face in my head when I spoke, smiling at me as if she was standing right before me.

She was a kind-hearted soul, who never failed to bake me a cake on my birthdays.

We were poor, but we were happy because we could always rely on each other.

The more I thought about it, the sadder I felt and eventually I couldn't help but break into tears.

I regretted not being able to do anything to help her at that time.

"Don't cry, sweet girl! Your courage will be deeply appreciated by your late friend,"

Anthony's mate said as she walked up to me with a smile and held my hands.

Her presence gave my heart warmth and comfort.

"Thank you, Jennifer.” That's very kind of you to say.
