Burning the whole Palace

William pov contd.

"I don't want to be like you, father. I would only marry a single girl in my life and that would be Abigail.'' There was determination in my voice and he felt it too. 

I left the hall when my father stayed silent for so long. Even the royal looked at me strangely and knew that I was telling the truth but one had the guts to say so.

"I could smell a rebel even from this distance." murmured Theodore, and I was sure he was not a bit worried about it. But the same could not be said for the three other knights who were looking at me with pensive eyes, not a single word was spoken by them.

"There is no other choice." I added yet not a single word was spoken. Were they giving me silent torment to punish me now!? I shook my head and walked towards my chamber. Let them have some rest and mull over the matters.

"My lord." The guard bowed at me when my eyes fell on the man who was leaning on the wall. He stood straight when I looked at him.
