Axel had stayed out all night which made the Queen worry so much that she lost her cool.
How could a Prince stay out all night..?!
Axel had passed out yesterday after hugging Corrie. She and some men from the palace had taken him back in the morning. His mind was blank until after he had bathed, he thought of what had happened yesterday and he flushed oh so bad. How was he going to face her when suddenly Corrie came in," Your Majesty the Queen would like an audience with you, Crown Prince".
Axel now realised he had done something bad but what hurt him more was Corrie's indifferent nature towards him. He thought that she must've acting like this because she thought that he said all of those things because of the alcohol. He passed her and went away quickly to the Queen's chamber.
Queen Chamber---
"What were you thinking staying out all night?
There could've been spies and people ambushing you!!", the queen said with worry.
" Im sorry Mother. ", he didnt look up to meet her gaze but he felt the worried stare from his mother.
The Queen looked towards Hayner, who had come in with Axel, with questioning eyes.
Hayner didnt know anything so his mind was blank and so was his expression.
"Mother, i dont care what you say to me after this. But i really want this to happen. I really want it ", Axel began "Mother Im in love with a girl but she is not from a Royal lineage."
Axel clenched his teeth and fists and didnt dare to look up to his mother. While on the other hand Hayner was shocked by what he saw.
The Queen descended and walked towards Axel . Axel saw her approaching and was getting ready for the worst thing possible.
She slapped him hard...!!!
"How could you....how could not tell me? Am i not your mother?
I want whatever is good for you. You have fallen in love with a girl but you didnt inform me beforehand?!"
Axel held his cheeks with eyes widened.."Mother.."
"It is better to be with someone you love than be with any other just for the sake of your image. You are not like your father...", she sighed deeply and a warm smile came to her," so who is this girl?"
Axel was at lost for his words and after some time he smiled so excitedly which made both the Queen and Hayner surprised.
"But i do not know if she likes me back. I have done a terrible thing and i dont know how to set things right"
Hayner and the Queen looked at him with pity,' Poor guy. Tch'
After a dead silence, the Queen laughed heartily,"You looked just like your father but what exactly did you do"
"I was drunk last night and i kissed her while sitting on the low table and now she has returned to her stoic personality like when she came here for the first time without even caring for what happened last night. She must've thought that i did it because i was drunk", he flushed real hard as he said those words. The Queen laughed even more heartily,"Oh no...i think you can say that is a loving gesture."
