Ch-45
"Crazy….." Henry said as he didn't take her words seriously.
But it's not the same for Charles and the one who was eavesdropping.
"What did you see in that dream? And when did you get the dream?" Charles asked.
"Grandpa… I got the same dream many times when I was asleep. In that dream, a woman wore a Dravidian-style saree in green color with a pink border. I don't know why she is killing those people. But she was good at handling swords. Her moves were swift. The weird thing was, she has my face. And in another dream, she came face to face. She said she felt ashamed for being her in a past life. She said I am a weakling and a dumb person who would act like a fool just for a man! Weird, right?" Esther laughed as she said.
"You surely slept for a long while! You even act like a crazy one! I need to shift you to the mental asylum!" Henry said.
Old MAn Benjamin threw his cane towards Henry. Henry was surprised and had no time to dodge it.
"You Bastard! If you say anything like a mental asylum. I will send you there!" Charles Windsors said.
Henry knew when to shut up and when to speak.
"My Precious one, Don't take his words seriously. Tell me, how he bullied you!" he asked.
"He made me get an injection! See here. There should be a red mark!" Esther whined as she stretched her neck.
"Henry! Get my cane!" Charles ordered.
"Grandfather! You don't need a cane! You are still healthy and fit!" Henry tried to run.
Charles clapped his hands! Few men in black came forward and held Henry down. Another one came and gave the cane to Charles.
Esther, unknowingly she crawled into her grandfather's embrace. Seeing her reaction.
"Leave everyone! Except for Henry!" he ordered.
Even Henry noticed the change in her and co-operated with his grandfather.
Sigh…. He was the best brother in the world. Few beatings wouldn't hurt him!
This was all for his sister! That's right!?
Esther saw everyone left, and the people who left were her grandfather and her brother. She loosened her embrace and tried to lean on her bed while watching her brother taking a beating.
Both Grandfather and grandson made loud sounds. The grandfather chased his grandson while the grandson ran away from his grandfather.
Finally, Henry gave up. In the end, he couldn't even feel his butt. Maybe he won't be able to sit for a few days!

Esther laughed so hard to the point she was tired of laughing.
She doesn't know when she slept, but she fell asleep.
Seeing her fall asleep, Charles and Henry quietly left the ward.
They went to the doctor and said the things happened.
"King….. It's a good thing Princess was laughing. The more she laughs, the healthier she would be! And her body was in pleasant condition. You can take her home and come during the psychiatrist sessions!" The doctor said.
They both nodded and left.
Charles dragged Henry after they left the room. But when he was dragging Henry, he saw something on his neck!
He tore the shirt off and took a clear look on his back.
"When did you get a tattoo?" Charles asked.
"Grandpa, without my knowledge when did I get a tattoo. You just bet on me. Don't makeup things to beat me more!" Henry couldn't help but feel wronged immensely.
"See it yourself!" The old man took his phone out and took a picture of the tattoo. Then he showed it to Henry.
"Grandfather… I really don't know how it appeared. It was like magic. The wait isn't it the thing that was on your secret book?" Henry asked as he widened his eyes.
Charles looked at the tattoo again. A vicious smile appeared on his face. Earlier it was Esther, and now it was Henry.
"Go to sleep. I won't say anything. I will stay with my grandfather tonight. Tomorrow we need to finish discharge procedures. Ask your parents to return from the Ancestral palace! Also, inform them their punishment was ended, only if…."
"Only if?" Henry asked in confusion.
"Only if they were alive, if not perform the funeral procedures by yourself and then come to me!" Charles said.
"Oh by the way... How can you speak Sanskrit, the Dravidian language easily? If I remember, you only learned that for a month. That too in your childhood," he asked.
"Am I?" Henry asked with doubt.
"Forget it! Go home!" Charles said.
Henry nodded his head and left.
Charles looked at the full moon in the sky and smiled.
