King Aiden barged into Queen Dylan’s room angrily.
“Dylan, why do you try to kill her?” King Aiden’s voice filled the air.
“I am so sorry, my Lord; it wasn’t my fault.” She started it first. She pushed me, which makes me hurt my arm,” Queen Dylan replied without looking at the king.
“Is that a good reason to kill someone?” If you killed her, what could you gain Everyone’s life will be in great danger”
“What had come over you? She pushed you; why don’t you report it to me, and you decided to punish her on your own?” King Aiden asked with fury in his eyes.
“I am sorry, but even if I reported her, you wouldn’t have to do anything to her. You will just say she’s not in her right mind.
You will not even want to do anything to her because she’s everyone’s saviour. I never knew you to be partial before, but these few days you are not the person I know.
You are changing, and it continues every day. You put me on house arrest despite the fact that I am a queen.
You don’t respect me at all. You made those guards speak to me anyway.
I always respected and loved you, but it’s now obvious that you only care about her,” Queen Dylan said, fuming.
“If it was any of my subjects who said this, I will make sure the person is beheaded immediately.
But you are a disgrace; I never expected this to come from you. I am going through a lot to keep everyone safe, but you couldn’t even see through this pain as a wife.
So are you worthy of being a queen? What has come over you? I will punish you for this because you chose to kill someone out of jealousy and insecurity.
The crown as Queen of South Korea will be taken from you and given to her.
And if you try anything cheap, I will not spare you, Dylan.” King Aiden thundered, pointing a finger at her.
“I am sorry, my Lord; please don’t do this to me. I am your queen, and I am Dylan, the only one in your heart. The person you said you would always love
Please, where are the promises? No, my love, you can’t do this to me. You can’t give the crown of queen supreme to her.
She knows nothing about kingship and royalty. Please don’t do this to me. I will make sure I correct my mistake,” she pleaded, holding his leg.
“The words coming from you didn’t show you felt any remorse at all. If you really know much about royalty, you will have known that it is not an easy thing and that sometimes it comes with sacrifice.
If it was an ordinary person you even tried to kill, I will also give you the same punishment.
Immediately she recovers, you will be stepping down as queen supreme of South Korea to a normal queen,” King Aiden said in an authoritative manner and left angrily.
He came across Princess Avalon on his way to his room.
“Twinkle is awake,” she said without noticing he was angry.
“Take care of her; I need to rest my head.” And again, make sure no one harms her, King Aiden instructed, and leave.
“What’s wrong with him?” He looks cold. Or he has a quarrel with that witch. I think that’s the case. I should check: “Princess Avalon is headed to Queen Dylan’s room.
She knocked on the door but got no answer.
“Why is she not answering?” Is she dead?” Princess Avalon looks back and smirks.
“What do you want, Princess?” Queen Dylan asked, standing right in front of her.
“So you are now appearing and disappearing.
“Well, it’s cool; you don’t look down. Are you okay with the king?” Princess Avalon asked.
“Do you wanna know? I don’t think I have time; go and ask your brother, not me.
You expect me to cry, right?” She asked and started to shed crocodile tears.
“Stop your pretense; you are acting weird. I know something happened. The king’s reaction shows that, but you are acting like you aren’t concerned.
Have you become so strong? I thought you liked crying, which was a lie; we both know that you only pretend to be crying, but you wipe your tears once the king disappears.
Was that a lie?” Princess Avalon asked with a grin.
“Was that a lie? Maybe you should answers that. But I have learned for you now. Royalty is a game; only the best player wins.
Why do you expect less from me? I am a black witch, and we are very strong,” she said.
“You forget; let me remind you: black witches aren’t strong but wicked, and that’s who you are. You are evil but always pretend to be pure; that’s why I’ve been keeping a close eye on you.
And it will continue. You think you can confuse me with your cheap behaviour. But no, this is Avalon, not Aiden or any other person,” Princess Avalon said.
“Shut up and stop accusing me negatively; I never meant to harm the king. I will not do anything despicable with him; rather, I will stay with him on this journey.
I pretended not to be hurt so that someone as cheap as you won’t taunt me. I am sick and tired of your craziness.
And I got to fight to make sure my king never leaves me. “She pointed a finger at princess Avalon.
“Drop those fingers; never in your life point them at me again. They aren’t for me, young lady.
I will soon expose you. All your dirty games will be up soon,” Princess Avalon threatened.
“I am not scared of your threat; you are the one playing dirty games.
Was it because I chose to keep quiet when you changed the king’s drink?
You try to give him your drink every day, but he keeps drinking mine.
“I know you wanted to kill him before the war, right?” Queen Dylan said, while she was giving her a deary look.
“Shush, how dare you? How could you think I want to hurt my brother? I love him a lot, and that’s the last thing I will ever do to him, you witch.” Princess Avalon shouted.
“Avalon, can we talk?” Lee said, coming closer.
She tried to control herself.
“Lee, is been a while; how have you been?” Queen Dylan asked.
“He’s fine, as you can see. Lee, let’s go,” she said with an eyeroll.
“So it was all truth,” Lee said.
“What was truth?” Queen Dylan asked
“That you both now hate each other so much and fight like cats and rats.
It’s such a new development that the family that always had each other’s backs tore apart, which I know must be very hard for The King to utter.
“I will leave now,” Queen Dylan said, and vanished.
“Avalon, I think I am ready to do as you say; I will marry Helen just as you wanted,” Lee said.
“WOW, thanks a lot. Come with me,” she said.
“I think the announcement should be made. Since getting married to her will make you happy, I have no objection,” Lee said, pulling her into a bone-breaking hug.
“I am sorry, Lee. Thanks for letting me get involved in your life once again,” she said with her head on his chest.
“But can we please have the last memories together? I will be going abroad and might not be coming back soon.
So just let us spend these memories together, and after that I will start a new life with Helen abroad.
Let’s go to our normal place where we have always meet and share good memories together.
“Please this is all I need; I am not ready to put you in any awful condition again,” Lee said, hugging her tightly.
“Okay,” she said, disengaging from the hug and nodding her head in reply.
“Okay, I think you should start going so that you can get ready for tonight,” Lee said. Princess Avalon nodded her head and left happily.
“What do you expect, Princess, that I will just let you go easily without paying you back? I can’t just let this slide. Let’s see how you will refuse to marry me after this,” Lee thought and smirked.
