A mere guard

Although the Queen would rather not face her brother's wrath, especially since she had been avoiding him all day, she knew she owed him an apology, and she needed him to remain on her side.

Even though she was the queen, her brother was quite vicious when he was pissed, and as much as she hated to admit it, she was a little intimidated by him, especially now that Ivan had caused a lot of trouble that she had to deal with. 

"What are you doing here?" Her brother asked her the moment she walked into the chamber.

"How is he doing?" the queen asked, but no one answered her question as William's mother stood up and excused herself from the chamber, seeing that the siblings had a bone to pick.

"Ivan will be punished for this. You have my word." She tried to keep her chin up, but whenever her eyes fell on Williams, who had fallen asleep after drinking the antidote, her confidence faltered.
