Chapter 4

"The punishment of killing a ruler is death Avery, How can you say this?" He question her angrily as he stare to her bare and beautiful body.

She sits up on the bed crying.

"I never mean to kill him. I didn't kill him. It was all a mistake."

"A mistake you say. Mother was right after all."

He steps down from the bed angrily and search for his cloth to wear them back.

"Please forgive me, I didn't kill him, I only.."

"Enough!" He shun her up as he dresses up.

"Come down from the bed." He walks over to meet her and drag her down.

"Louis, what has come over you?" She ask him as he doesn't even allow her to pick up her clothes.

"Do you want to send me out of your chambers naked?," She question him stammering as he's about to open the door and he stops and stare to her dishevel hair.

"I wont mind doing that. First you lied to me and next.." Words fails to come out from his mouth.

"If you tell them the truth, they will kill me," She cries and he paused and let go of her boiling angrily.

"Why did you kill father?" He ask her and she quickly finds her gown to wear them back as she hasn't seen that side of him.

She quickly wears her gown and not even remembering to pick up her pant and he turn to face her and seeing her struggling to wear her gown.

She's very beautiful and yet her age doesn't even reflex on her looks.

He loves her very much and never had he for once believed his mother, now he fears she might truly be a witch like his mother claims.

Queen Avery's hands shakes and her gown ends up falling from her hand as she struggle to find the top to wear it from.

He walks over to meet her and she shudders and continues to moves backward.

"Believe me Louis, I never killed your father. It was all an accident. He wants to force himself on me and I had to protect myself."

He stiffens and stares downward.

He shakes his head and walks out from his chamber as he cannot stand her anymore.

Queen Avery quickly picks up her pant and wears it and she wears her gown and hurries out from his chamber.

She steps out into the passage and sees no one there and she hurries back downstairs to her chamber.

As she steps into the hall, she sees him standing beside the throne and staring to his late father's portrait hanging on the wall and she stiffens.

She stares downward not knowing if to go back to her chamber or leave the palace entirely and as he isn't staring to the exit door.

She turns to run away, just then his cold voice stops her.

"Where are you going too?."

Queen Avery stops at the exit door and stare back to him.

She shakes her head, fighting back the urge to sob and she immediately runs out from the mansion surprising him as she runs away to the main exit gate.

The chiefs and guards walking into the palace, stops and stare at her in shock.

They're all surprised to see the Queen's hair scattered and also see her running out from the palace.

"Stop her!" King Louis commands and the guards immediately catches her.

"What's going on your majesty?!" The elders and chiefs in council ask him as they approach him standing at the front of the royal mansion and the guards drags back to his front.

Queen Avery keeps on screaming, "Let me go!, Let me go," but the guards ignores her and drag her back to his front.

He stands at the frontage of the royal mansion staring at her angrily as he hadn't thought of her running away.

"Take her back into her chamber and ensure you lock her up and bring the keys here to me."

"But your majesty.."

"Silence!" He silenced the Chiefs and the palace becomes like a grave yard.

"Now!" He Instruct the guards and just then his mother Queen Willow Albert steps out and stare to him and to his wife screaming and crying

"Have you find out the truth son?."

He ignores his mother's question and the two guards holding Queen Avery, immediately drags her back to her chamber downstairs of the two storey building.

Queen Willow Albert steps out and stare to the chiefs and back to her son.

"Why not throw her into the dungeon?, she's not supposed to be in this palace."

He remains silent and doesn't respond to his mother.

"Your majesty," The head in council meeting Chief Dylan Hudson calls him and he stare to him.

"What's going on your majesty?," Chief Dylan Hudson ask.

"Hmph, You can all go to the council headquarter, I will see you all later."

He turns and walk back into the royal mansion leaving the council of elders murmuring to themselves and asking themselves questions.

Some heard of the missing Princess, the more reason why the decide to visit the palace, never had they thought of the queen having something to do with her daughter disappearance from the palace.

They stare to the Ex-Queen if she can give them a brief of what's going on in the White lilly royal palace but Queen Willow Albert rather stares away from the elders and chiefs in council and walks back into the royal mansion to meet her son and to also find out what is going on with him and his wife.

She's shock to see the guards dragging his wife and he allowed that.

She wasn't even sure if Avery was the one whom killed her husband, but that night that her husband sustained the head injury she had sighted him coming out from the corridor leading to Avery's room and she wonders what he went there to do.

He pretended to her like all was well but the following morning she saw his head swollen and she suspected something fishy might had happened between them.

she has seen the way his eyes rakes Avery's body whenever they were together or in the dinning with Louis and how he kept staring at her.

She walks into the throne room and not meeting her son there, she made her way to go back upstairs to his chamber to find him.

The two guards drags Queen Avery and takes her back to her large chamber downstairs.

"Leave me alone!" She cries but the guards pushes her into her room and locks back her room door per the King's instructions.

Queen Avery bangs on the door to open but the guards left.

She falls back to the door crying and staring around as she fears what her husband might do to her.

She stands up back and stare to the window to escape but the window have iron-bar protection guarding it.

"How will I escape from here?," She ask herself as she wipes of her tears.

She walks back to her bed to sit as doesn't mean to reveal the truth to her husband about his late father's death now that her daughter was also missing.

"Juliet.. My Juliet.." She cries and rolls up on her bed as she continues hitting hard on her bed.

She stands up and search her whole room to see if she can see any recent photo of her daughter but none is in her room.

She falls down to her knees beside her drawer and cries as she clutches her two hands together and pray for her little daughter to be found.

"Oh Lord don't let anything happen to my Juliet" She cries.

Queen Willow Albert walks back upstairs to her son's chamber.

The guards are downstairs waiting for him and he's rather upstairs in his chamber.

She passes his guards stationed to guard the second floor and she walks up to his chamber and knock.

His room door wasn't locked so she push his door open and walks in.

"I told you your wife was a witch but you refused to believe me, Where is my grandchild Louis, so you and your wife want to cut down my generation. What have I done to you to deserve this?," She fakes her cries as she approach him.

He's standing beside his favorite throne seat in his living room and he turn to face her.

"Enough mother. I don't have time for this."

"You caused this Louis, I warned you before now to throw that witch out of this palace or take her to wherever you brought her from, but you refused."

He paused by the door and sigh.

"Mother, Juliet will be found. As for Avery, let her be, she isn't in her right frame of mind and want to run out from this palace in search of her daughter."

He exit his chamber and walk back downstairs to dismiss all the elders and chiefs in council gathered in the White lilly royal palace and waiting to find out the truth.
