Tell them to leave.

Her hands were shaking from anger and disappointment as she was trying her best not to shriek at Laura, took a deep breath to relieve herself from rage. Raised her hand stroked Laura's hair back on her shoulders, Laura took a step forward, now she could feel the princess inhale and exhale, looking at princess's long black eyelashes and brown eyes, cast a soft smile on her face.

Princess turned her face to avoid Laura's gaze, finally nodded and dismissed everyone with a quick move of her hand, Laura smiled proudly as he was watching the little women leave, then step beck turned around as she sat on the Princess's spot on the chair.

Princess opened her mouth to protest. Laura raised an eyebrow and didn't let her say a word, so she got silenced took a deep breath not to order to kill Laura already!.

Laura"you are coming" she commanded as she reached out to grab some grapes and put them on her mouth, glances at the confused princess who was more confused now than scared.

Princess "where? you do know who am I?"

Laura threw some grapes which left in her hand and stared at her." spoiled child-like, my granddaughter, who thinks the world is too little to care about?"

She asked mockingly as Princess widened her eyes and clenched her both fists.

Princess " how dare you!" with this she took long and firm steps to get to the widowed queen, raised her hand angrily as she wanted to slap her, Laura used the cloak's power and with a quick move of her hand made her fall on the ground.

Laura "I need you although it's hard for me to take care of to kids."

She said in a mockery, but firm tone stood up on her feet, grabbed her neck to raise her above her head.

Princess was kicking her feet against the air as she was trying to pull Laura's hands away from her neck.

Princess "are you asking me for a favour this way?" she managed to gasp for air as Laura was smiling, "don't be so stupid, Laura never asks, she always commands"raised an eyebrow proudly but laid the princess on the chair.

The princess leaned back in her chair, clutching the handles of the chair with both hands, staring at Laura with wide eyes, not even breathing. Fear was so evident in her eyes that it burned the heart of everyone, even Laura, but she did not seek revenge, not from the proud little princess of the palace.

She leaned in so that the princess could feel Laura's breath fanning against her cheeks.

Laura"you are coming with me or die here on this little golden chair" raised an eyebrow.

Princess furrowed her brows" it's not fair!why should I come with you to nowhere?"

Laura shrugged stocked her cheek" with this cloak I can burn all od your house tonight and leave with my son" she assured her, the princess sighed thinking everyone is wicked and stupid like her to do that, nodded unwillingly.

Princess " what do you want?" tried to pull herself together as Laura was playing with the torn cloak pretending that she is distracted by that.

Princess repeated her question louder to gather Laura's attention to herself. Laura raised her head to face her as she smirked.

Laura" ah, for that...Im going to the yard as you are letting my son rescue from the dungeon and join us on a short trip."

Princess opened her mouth, but not even a word comes out, she let out a loud sigh as she gets off the chair. Laura grabbed her arm, dragged her onto herself"remember if you tell anyone about this escape, I will notice and kill you right away."

Of course, she lied she wasn't a magician, her cloak had limited skills, but sometimes royals have to lie to get to their goal and this time was one of those times that Laura had to do it.

Fortunately, the princess believed her and nodded in fear fell butterflies flying in her stomach nodded once again like a robot bouncing to their master and walked out, as she left the chamber Laura stocked her black cloak thankfully.

Laura"only you can control this rat." she chuckled to herself as she walked out the door.

She walked throw corridors pretending she was getting onto the Haram which was near the entry gate. Still, instead of entering to the Harem, she walked to the dark garden, the moon was trying hard to lighten her figure in the night, Laura's figure was tall,well-shaped, although she was 43 when she died and got back to life with the same age. She looked so younger no one could guess her age more than 30.

As she was walking, pulled her cloak to cover her smooth face, it was hard to see when it was covering her eyes.

So she lifted it so that could see the guards who were standing at the entrance, if they saw her, they would take her back to the house! Closed her eyes to think, as she was considering what she could do.

Felt a palm squeezing her shoulder, turned her head, widened her eyes, took a step back. Still, the man pulled her closer. She opened her eyes to scream.

"Shhh shhh," he said firmly and commanding.

Laura nodded, obeying him without thinking couldn't believe that he was standing in front of her!

In the other side of the world, Cordelia landed on the ground looked straight at the castle ran onto the training hall, felt in her heart that Arthur had to be there, and she was right, Arthur was training the magician army which was more significant than before but not big enough to can defend against two enemies.

Arthur git surprised as he saw his daughter, as father hugged her kissed her forehead missed her with all of his heart, but as a ruler, knew she didn't allow to be there as the royal rules abandoned her. Her arms looked up at his eyes as he was struggling between his feelings to kick her out or greet her?

Cordelia looked at the army disappointed then looked back at her father"I know I can't be here; it's important, grandmother sent me."

Arthur furrowed his brows as he was listening to his daughter, Laura never says something is necessary until it's essential. Hence, he led Cordelia onto the garden and let her talk in a more privet place.

Cordelia told everything to her father as she warned him not to stand in the castle anymore.

Arthur stroked his long beard" I can't leave here, Sharon gave this place to me" he said in a sad tone that melted Cordelia's heart, she heard Arthur raised Sharon and married her when she was old enough and never was harsh to her.

Cordelia "Laura wants you to leave, Im sure she has a plan!" at first she said firmly, but soon the confidence on her face turned onto a scared one, she wasn't that sure about it, but still she had to listen to her.

Cordelia " I hope she does"she looked down helplessly her father held her shoulders to comforts her, looked at her face raised her chin to stare in her blue eyes.

Arthur "I can't leave Cordelia, not now that all people need me.

Cordelia shook her head"You can't stay! If you stay, you will die, and we need every single man to fight! we will back and gain our home back and more!"

Arthur let out a sigh started to get back to the training room where everyone was whispering and looked at the king and his daughter in despair.

Arthur "If Sharon were alive, she wouldn't run."

Cordelia nodded "Father, trust the widowed queen. We will get back."

She assured her father, Arthur looked over at the army hie eyes got watery, how his daughter could escape instead of saying and fighting like her mother.

Cordelia sighed"tell them we need them, we will go with everyone, and Hamo will find this place empty."

Arthur nodded "take the army, take the guards, I will stay."

He commanded firmly but deep in his eyes Cordelia could see how much kind he is, she took his hand.

Cordelia " you will die!"

Arthur held onto his dagger handed it to a soldier who was standing in the first line.for the moment Cordelia thought he didn't hear her voice, but he did, so he turned his face stared into her eyes.

Arthur"I won't leave and let them disrespect my queen and wife, I will stay and fight until I join her in heaven, don't you worry about me, I am an old man tired and weak, Im useless for your revenge army.

Cordelia shook her head, "You are coming!" she commanded tears ran onto her eyes. Her lips were shivering.

Arthur stepped closer too her soft hands in his old ones."You will be fine," she said firmly as he was decided to join to her beloved wife, the queen who never bowed to anyone until her death. He ordered the army to grab Cordelia head onto the North to find his brother and stay there for Laura.

The leader of the army ordered to take Cordelia's arms; she was screaming struggling to let herself free, Arthur was watching her calmly with no particular expression his face, Cordelia was him to join them. Arthur was freezing on his spot.

Cordelia screamed, her voice Covered the castle, guard's were dragging her out, as she was trying to cast a spell but was too distracted to be able to do anything but crying and begging.finally they have gone, the king launched a mysterious smile on his face,

got back onto the great hall stood in front of Sharon's portrait, was staring at it eagerly as every single maid and guards even doorkeepers were leaving the castle he took the picture from the wall sat on the throne

pour a glass of wine as he was holding the image with his other hand, he was drinking and watching his wife, as he was reminding all his memories with the perfect and pure-hearted Sharon.
