Merry mood

This is bad," Jeffery muttered under his breath wondering what could be the message that had the power to make his prince lose control. Jeffery walked quietly and picked up the communication book.

His eyes almost fell on the floor when he read the message.

(Message in the book: the Princess's drink is poison. His Majesty's order).

Jeffery read the message over again. 'Why would the king want the princess dead? could it be that the prince had nothing to do with the Princess state? But what were those marks on her neck? Could it be that the princess was choking because of the poison and the prince tried to save her?' Many possibilities pass through Jeffery's mind.

In the end, he concludes that the prince fingers was visible on Ellen's neck because he tried to save her. After all, Jeffery was in the royal ball as the prince and he was sure that she drank from her cup.

Sebastian on the other hand felt like killing his father but again he knew Ellen never took the drink. In his rage, he remembers that he notice the wine on the floor and cup when he picked Ellen up.

If anyone has succeeded in hurting Ellen he knew he was the one. Finally, he realized that Ellen had not looked towards Julia before heading out. "She must have noticed the poison just like she did at the wedding," he thought.

Even after coming to this conclusion he still felt like killing his father. In his opinion, everything that happened was caused by him. If Ellen has not gone to dispose of her drink, Julia would not have had the opportunity to meet her alone and the misunderstanding would have never been created.

I am human not a beast I can not kill my blood "

I am human not a beast I can not kill my blood"

I am human not a beast I can not kill my blood," Sebastian chanted to calm himself down. He has thought of killing all members of the royal family countless times. Each time it took him those lines to stop himself.

He knew that once he killed any of his family he would feel guilty about it and might lose himself. Of course, this does not mean that he is not willing to kill any of his siblings that openly challenge him for the throne. It was their tradition to fight to death if any of the princes challenge the crown prince.

The firstborn son can not be breathing and the second sits on the throne. The second son must show his strength by openly challenging the crown prince to a fight. This will be between the two princes and there will only be a winner when one of the princes is dead.

After repeatedly chanting the same words, Sebastian regains control of himself. Of course, he made a mental plan to give his father back the gift. The fact that he would not touch the king, does not mean he could not take something from him.

"My prince," Jeffery said in relief when he noticed his sharp fingers were gone. Jeffrey could not count how many times the prince has lost control and become blood testy. Each of those times there was usually a blood bath before the prince would calm down.

It was a very rare occasion that Jeffery could count that he calmed down without killing at least one person.

"if there is nothing else I will go to bed," Sebastian said as if nothing happened.

"That will be all your highness," Jeffery bowed. Sebastian nodded his head and head to his chamber but how could it be that simple. He overlooked the king's first attempt because he wanted him to vent his anger but this time he decided that he would pay back once, inside his Chambers, Sebastian began to chant some incantation.

Meanwhile back at the ballroom, King Rodrik seems to be in a good mood. One of his guards has reported seeing the prince carry away Ellen's unconscious body. It did not matter to him if Sebastian manages to save her.

In his mind, he could always get rid of her when he was away. Besides the poison used this time was more potent than the last one, so he was very confident that Ellen will be dead by morning.

Everyone in the hall noticed the king's merry mood, of course, Avalo has been in a good place for the last ten years, so most of them have forgotten the fear of been defeated. Royal balls and celebrations were very common occasion but anyone that knew king Rodrik, could tell that his happiness was tied to something important even if they were unaware of the fact.

The Queen saw her husband acting so merry and felt very happy herself. She had a genuine smile on her lips and was gladly responding to the small talks around. She has loved him since her youth and she still loves him.

Although she knew the king did not have the same feeling. But she was contented to sit beside him as his Queen. It did not matter to her how many wives or concubines he brought to the palace as long as she was his Queen she was content.

She welcomes every new bride he brought with open arms, she never tries to hurt any of them. Not even the ones that flaunt themselves as his favorite. This has earned her the title of being the mother for all and a kind Queen.

But could a woman capable of sacrificing her own son be that nice. Of course like the saying goes he who steps on the lion's tail, should be ready to dance the dance of the loins.

She had her bottom line, anyone that ever eyes her seat or tried to become the Queen she destroys without mercy. Even the king did not even dare to think of replacing her. The last time he tried, he fought the four great kings and almost lost his life. In the end, she was the one that provides a solution for their son.

So he had learned to let her sit by his side, it was a position he did not dare think of giving someone else. Especially now that her son was the Crown prince. Though the mother and son did not have a good relationship but the king believes that the Queen knows his weakness and can use it to make him do his will.

This is another reason why he kept her, he believes that when the time comes, he would be able to get the answer from her.
