Who touched who?

*********

"Gather some armours. If two can't enter make sure one does" I order my maids and they do as I say.

I need to go to see Mother. It's obvious that she hates me now with all power and strength in her.

I pause in my thinking when a maid enters my room and ran to me. She falls on her knees with her head bowed, tears flowing down her eyes.

"Vilva? What is it?" I ask concerned as I also go on my knees in front of her.

"Your highness, the former King is withdrawing sixteen thousand soldiers from the King's army because of the misunderstanding that you and your mother in law had... "

Oh no... What have I done?

"Only two thousand have agreed to stand with the King and... " she raises her head with a watery nose and swollen eyes.

"My husband and I are to stay back. I don't want to, your highness. We both don't"

What have I done?

What will Magnus do now? What will become of his reputation now that his Queen did this?

But Vilva and her husband still stands with the King.

Meaning they are others that are just being forced to stay with him but don't actually want that.

"Follow me"

Six maids follow me from behind as we walk to the throne room. There shouldn't be any fight for soldiers when I am here.

"Your highness, this premises is not safe for you" a guard say when he sights I and the maids.

"Open it" "But your highness"

"I said open it" I say with a stern face.

I have gone to series of battles back at Barune, what is that in Rokha that I cannot handle?

He bows and obey me and I walk in.

"Your wife has disrespected the rules of this Kingdom by touching your mother"

"I touched no one" I say and he keeps quiet.

Magnus eyes widen and he stands up from his throne.

"Leave, Lyla"

"I believe it's every member of this family that should be here" I say with my olive eyes penetrating through him.

"I didn't touch mother, Father"

He stare at me with his head highly raised. His black hair is making my eyes glimmer. He turned to his wife who is glaring at me.

"Then if you didn't touch her, who touched who?" he asks and I wait for his wife to speak.

"She touched me" she says abruptly

"I didn't touch her... "

"Prove it. Prove that you didn't touch her" Louis says and I breathe in and out heavily.

I divert my gaze to Magnus who stare at me with a blazing fire of anger in his eyes.

I grabbed my dress by the side I bled this afternoon and tore it. My action surprises the King and his wife.

Magnus stare at my rib like he want to feast on me. Or like I look delicious.

My rib is still painted red with blood inside the cut but outside is my body color.

"When she pushed me through the carriage, I fell down and got injured"

Like the King didn't believe me, he ask again.

"Did anyone follow you?"

"The carriage rider. He was there"

The man was brought forth and Louis ask him a question.

"Was it her highness that did this to Her Majesty?" he ask and the man nods in affirmation.

The King squint his eyes as he slowly turn to his Queen.

She looks pale all of a sudden. Was this Louis really a threat.

"Even if she touched you... " he starts

Like I expect, all Kings will take the sides of their wives.

"You should have reported to me instead of making my son touch my wife"

"She didn't send me... The way Mother talked to her provoked me"

Louis stare at his son and watched him as he went down the throne to Lyla. He stood beside her and faced them, pulling her closer to him.

"And since you believe that Lyla have brought something upon this Kingdom and your wife... "

He stare down into the eyes of Lyla and spoke to his parents without looking up.

"I and the soldiers and the citizens that will follow me and the Queen will leave the Rokha Dynasty by tomorrow morning... "

"Love... " Lyla wanted to say something

"I know what I am doing. Please don't interfere"

Lyla remains quiet as they both stare at each other. Her hands are on his chest and his are wrapped around her thin waist.

He looks up at his parents who have the surprise looks on their faces.

"And we leave very early" he say

"Go get your things ready. We will leave by 2:00am tomorrow morning. I'm watching you" he says and kiss her head gently.

Lyla scurries off and the doors shut closed.

The atmosphere is tense and the parents of Magnus knows what is coming.

Magnus slowly turn to face them. His hair covering his neck gradually. His eyes becoming red and when he opens it...

"You are all fools. You made me marry her and now you find fault in her? Because you didn't allow me to marry someone I know and love at my own pace, you brought someone that has the same feeling as me to marry me, and now you thing thinks you can kill her?" he says, his voice grew deeper as he spoke.

"Oh well, you are wrong!" he yells and ran to his father's throne. He swipes his paw and blood splashed everywhere on his throne.

Now there's a deep cut on his shoulder. Blood is everywhere.

He turns to his mother and growled angrily.

Raising his mother's head with his claw and under his jaw, she stared into his eyes in fear.

"One thing I don't want to know is how you gave birth to me.... " he whisper

She shivers miserably.

"The only thing I want to know is whether you actually love me" he says and harden the claw's grip beneath his mother's jaw.

A thin line of blood trickled down her jaw and down his claw and also his arm.

"Next time you watch who you bring to me as a wife because this one has me already"

And with that, he withdrew his claw from his mother's jaw and returned back to himself.

He stares at them pitifully, especially his mother.

PS:- The whole Kingdom including Magnus knows about the wicked reign of his parents and how they squandalized the richness of the land. Louis and Anastasia are wicked rulers when it was their own time.

Magnus left the throne room with orders given to the guards.

"Make sure you clean up the mess inside there and gather the citizens of Rokha in 10 minutes. I want to have a word with them"

Immediately, the news spread out and every citizen was gathered in the city's gathering square.

Lyla stared from their chamber.

"Oh no" she whispered.
