chapter fifty nine

+++++The palace

The queen went back to the palace and straight to the dungeon after ensuring the maiden was gone, she went to see her boy, arriving there she saw his step Brothers guards hitting zila who was chained to the wall, he looked malnourished in just a span of 3 days. "That's enough!." She screamed as she saw her son's pale skin covered in brusies, she held her chest as she felt her heart was gonna erupt from her chest "please." she whispered feeling devastated, confused and scared. Zila who was unfazed by the pain inflicted flinched as he heard his mother's pleading voice he raised his head as he looked at her "it's fine mom, it doesn't even hurt a bit." as long as Bianca is ok he thought to himself.

"What going on in this palace? I don't just understand where I stand anymore, I'm tired zila I'm really tired. How can your father change so suddenly, he has handed the rights to the throne, your rights to muzak and lately the boy attitude changed completely, he try's to hid it but it's too visible."

"Just wait a little longer mom I'll set everything straight and you'll see how I treat that so called first son of dad, I knew things would go this way that's why I had left earlier I knew I couldn't trust him, he didn't betray me I did, I betrayed myself by letting my guard down and I will never forget myself neither will I forgive him. his always hiding under the wings of the suffering he had to go through and lies he fills dad with but he doesn't know any better, he doesn't know things aren't as they seem in the eye."

"That's enough my boy, don't let him bother you. let's focus on your condition and ways to help you, things are pretty bad now and there is no way of bargaining with the king, you need to let go of that lady."

"Mom! How can you even say that, I can't, she's the only person who gave me peace ma I've always been hurting and feeling empty, but she makes me want to live mum, I'll suffer if she's not here, all this doesn't hurt there like the usual training, these scars will clear but if Bianca was to leave there will be a hole right here." he pointed at his heart "I'ld not last a day knowing I won't see her again, I would go berserk." He said as tears filled his eyes. The queen was stunned by his declaration and there she knew she had made the worst mistake today, she coughed as she said "Don't say that my boy your the only one I got your kid brother is far away studying, your dad is occupied by his duties and aliz-" Zila immediately looked at the other side in disgust at the mention of aliz "-I don't even see her around anymore I've got no one my boy so please please my boy don't say that."

"Well she's still here so I'm not going anywhere just ensure she is alright." The queen thought for a while before she placed his hand on her head "promise me something my boy."

"What mom?."

"Just promise first."

"But I can't."

"Don't you trust your mother!?."

"Fine I promise."

"Good now you just promise to have a reserved order for me that only me can give you and you must comply no matter what."Zila didn't understand as he just smiled "mom I think you should go see Bianca and tell her I'll be with her soon you'll see how pretty she is she's so cute, than my lovely mom here." he joked as his bloody teeth showed up.

"I know my boy, I saw her today." The queen said trying to figure out how to get her boy out of this place. "Really?." Zila said with a little smirk. "how's she doing?" He asked.

"She's fine, just that I saw Muzak there with her seemingly threatening her or something I couldn't tell but she was scared and uncomfortable." immediately Zila's eyes turned black as the growl at the thought of Muzak being with his pea.

"Calm down, she's okay I saved her." Zila shook his head as he tried to control himself but he couldn't as something else in him reacted to that message or it was someone else the demons were very brutal when it came to claiming what was theirs. Zila has always had issues subduing what was inside of him before he met Bianca and it stopped the demons couldn't over power him when Bianca was close to him but right now he couldn't feel her, Feeling aggravated and uncontrolled, he broke free from the chain on his left hand and the queen was stunned by how easily he freed himself. if he could do that then why did he have to go through all this torment all this while, was he doing it for that girl, was her son really in love then her mind drifted to the lady she just asked to leave, if zila should hear this he might get really mad at her and she wouldn't want that she looked at him and said "calm down my boy don't overreact I'll be back, just calm down." She left immediately and his step Brothers guards came in immediately but they were Immediately thrown to the wall and the sound of broken bones could be heard as he kept tossing them from wall to wall he freed his second hand and stepped out of the dungeon and went in search of his scandrul of a brother, when he came out he saw Yan chi fidgeting outside the entrance to the dungeon, when he saw zila he was stunned by the brusies on his body and also scared of the color of his eyes that had a shade of reddish black.

"Z..zila." Yan fell to the floor as Zila approached him, he could feel the familiarity of this aura this was the same one Zila had been when he knocked him unconsciou due to the cheating him and his girl ama did at the training grounds. Zila didn't budge but held him up above the ground and this made yan scared that zila was going to kill him for not being there and sleeping with his sister.

"I'm sorry zila, I'm really sorry I did wat I did I wish I could take it all back but I can't, I've been here since trying to get in but I didn't have the guts to…. I'm honestly sorry-." Zila threw him to the ground as he hovered his face above his "where is Muzak?." He asked not given a fuck about the nonsense yan was blabbering about.

"H..he's in the gathering with your father." with that he was thrown to the floor. Zila stepped into the palace everyone who saw him we're shocked, the maid and guard on the way. zila met his bodyguard @Took you long enough." zike smirked at him as he knew this was eventually going to happen. "Dad?."

"This way my Lord." Immediately they got to the door to the meeting hall, the king's guard blocked his way but before they could utter a word they thrown inside the conference room

"What is the meaning of-." the king said as he saw guards being thrown inside the hall but stopped when he saw his shirtless son come in he wasn't surprised by his presence but the scars on his body, it just been few days he was put in there and he looked lifeless. Once muzak saw him he gritted his teeth he was just in the process of getting introduced officially as the crown prince. "What Happened to you?." the king roared as he looked at his son's body, he had gotten zila punished but that was only for a day and it wasn't any major task as he was royal, so how come he was full of injuries. Zila didn't even look at his father as he approached his target and held him by the collar. "What's wrong with you let me go!." Muzak said as he was scared of the color of Zila's eyes feeling threatened he brought out his claws and tried to fight zila but before he could zila held his hand "let me show you how it's done." Zila said as he held Muzak's hand and crushed it while Muzak Wailed in pain, zila smirked triumphantly and at that moment he looked around and all the ministers who were humans we're sleeping must be the jazzer's work with that he held muzak high and threw him at the statue of peace in the palace destroying it in the process, Muzak was really scared as he has never experienced this side of zila before.

"That's enough! Jazzer put him to sleep now." the king roared.
