The king took a deep breath, it was obvious that his mother would never give into his demands, he possibly cannot fight or hurt her just like he did with the guards, he wasn’t that kind of son and a king shouldn’t be seen or heard of doing such, he turned away from her moving closer to the wall, he buried his face in his hands for a moment thinking of what to do, he just needed a way out of this, he needed to get Terry out of there else he might never forgive him, he turned around, his eyes moving at every corner of the room, he was hoping the sight the key carelessly dropped somewhere so he could snatch it and leave at once but he saw nothing, his eyes moved back to his mother who had moved over to an arm chair, sat comfortably on it with her legs crossed, she looked totally unbothered and cared less about what he was feeling or thinking at that moment, the only thing more important to her now was that Terry remains in that dungeon, she hated it so much when people or anyone else tri

Joshua nodded his head feeling proud and satisfied with himself though he wondered if his mother would buy his threat and give into his demands, the rain seemed to have got heavier and he was beginning to feel tired, his shoulders and legs hurried, he felt like one who haven’t had proper rest for a while now, he ran his hands through his hair while he sat at a corner in the room shaking his head like one who would let hell rain at any moment from then, well he was sure he was definitely going to do that, he didn’t care if he ends up hurting his mother’s feelings or not, he was tired of watching her make he feel less of himself and herself much more superior than anything else, he couldn’t understand how he watched all these while leaving his mother to control almost half of the affairs of the kingdom, people seemed to reference her even more than they do to him, sometimes they acted like he didn’t exist at all and whatever his mother says is always the final, he took a deep sigh placi

The rain had increased drastically with each second that swept by, the dry grounds have grown very wet creating puddles at various parts of the palace compound, most of the servants have retired to their quarters while the rest who have been assigned to various duty posts stood firm enduring the cold weather, their feet’s cold deeply feel the depth of the ice cold weather but what could they do other than do what they are expected to do, serve the royal family till their last breath, of course they had no other choice than to obey and remain loyal to the throne. Leonna hurried down the hallway looking deeply excited, she felt this joy bubbling deep in her chest though she couldn’t explain why she was feeling that way, maybe because the king didn’t yell at her like he did previously or maybe because of the news of Terry being out soon, she grinned from cheek to cheek, moving further down to the kitchen, the king had ordered her to prepare something for Terry including a hot bath and sh

The queen nodded her head, her heart was boiling badly with rage at that moment, he dared to challenge her seemed like a hard pill for her to swallow, of everyone who she expects to talk back at her, certainly not Terry who have been made an enemy to her even before his birth. She turned to Maria who’s eyes had widened out of fear and anxiety, she was trying so hard to protect Terry from the queen’s wrath and equally trying to protect the queen from bathe king’s wrath but with the way things were turning out with every second that swept by she wondered if either of them understands what they stand to loose if they don’t keep their differences aside and go their separate ways, if she were to be asked she would advice both the queen and Terry to avoid each other despite living together in the palace but how possible would that be since they would always see each other? After all Terry is always with the king following him to every nook or cranny he enters, she turned to the queen and wa

Queen’s Emma’s heart couldn’t stop boiling with rage while she paced her chambers like a wounded lion, her eyes filled with rage and her hands vibrating like a woman who had lost her most priceless jewelry, she just couldn’t believe that she finally succumbed to her son’s threat, she couldn’t believe that Joshua was actually serious with his threat else why would he come down to the dungeon to ensure that she actually got Terry out, she rolled her eyes in displeasure turning to Maria who stood uncomfortably behind her with both of her hands folded properly, she looked up at the queen and finally looked away, what could she say other than to console her and let her know that she isn’t alone even though she feels so.The queen scoffed, she ran her hands restlessly through her hair, she moved over to an arm chair and sat shaking her legs over and over again “can you believe it Maria? My own son actually wanted to carry out his threat, he actually meant every word he said to me earlier, h
