Chapter 2: Make up your mind

Chapter 2

Make up your mind

Queen Jasmine sat in her personal garden drinking tea and taking some fresh air.

She was reading some news about issues affecting the kingdom of Naviel when her daughters Crystabel and Helena walked in.

"Mother mother!!!"

"What's it?"

"It's Authur...."

Immediately when she (queen Cordelia) heard that the matter concerned her beloved son prince Authur she jumped up from her seat and asked worriedly

"What happened to him?"

"Dad had him arrested"

"What!!?. Am going to see your father"

She said and then ran all the way to her husband's chambers.

King Alfred was walking around the palace taking some fresh air while Teftler the principal official in charge of the palace was talking to him, reporting issues that needed to be addressed when he saw his beloved wife Queen Cordelia running towards him.

"What's it my dear" he asked showing concern.

"I need to speak to you in private"

The king signaled to Teftler and the gaurds following him to excuse them before turning to Queen Cordelia.

"What is it my love?"

"I want ask you why you imprisoned Authur?"

"Your son had the audacity to cause trouble for the Kent household and still lie to my face that he's innocent."

"So he has now become my son right?"

King Alfred felt like he had jumped into a pit and said

"Am sorry my love but it's just that he really annoyed me and I had to punish him to teach him some lessons so that he won't repeat this mistake again!"

"Have you asked or bother to investigate further if he was truly innocent?"

Queen Cordelia asked as she refused to believe the cock and bull story that king was telling her right now.

"But Erics and Maxwell Kent confirmed the matter?"the king said to her.

"Have you bothered to corfirm if Kent was bribed by someone to frame Authur?"

Well the truth be told we all know that what the Queen just said is the exact truth biu because she did not want to expose Erics and cause further catastrophe in the palace she said to the king that someone bribed Kent to frame Authur.

The king thought about what she said just now and said in his heart that she's not far from the truth but he can't change his judgement now but can only remedy the situation.

"Okay but I can't release him until tomorrow so what I would do is that I send someone to give him beddings and food to eat and then first thing tomorrow morning he would be released from the dungeons"

The queen had to succumb to his request

" Okay my love let's do it your way, but can I see him?"

"Oh yes you can!"

The queen then left him to attend to his affairs while Teftler who was standing not too far from them walked up and took his place by the king's side and continued his reports.

Queen Cordelia walked into the dungeon and came to Authur's cell.

She saw that he was sleeping and mosquitoes were busy feasting on his body and quickly urged Varrons to open the cell to attend to her son.

When she got in she wakes him up and began to cover him properly while she prepared to talk to him.

Authur who saw that it was his mother sat down and immediately drank from the water she passed to him. When she passed him some food, he refused telling her that Crystabel and Helena had already smuggled in food for him earlier.

Queen Cordelia then left the food she brought for him in a corner of the room just by his side in case he was hungry later, he could munch it. She then began to talk to him.

"Son I know you are not pleased by the treatment you received from your father this evening but I beg of you to forgive him and also forgive your brother for what he did"

"But mother...."

"I know that you want to say that your principles don't align with what I just said utvi want you to know that it pays no good to anyone who holds grudges against others. It only draws you back and hinders you from achieving great things"

"Well I have no grudges against them I just don't like father's way of judgement, it's not right and to me it makes me feel like am not his child"

"Shut up, don't say that again. Don't let anyone talk or do anything that makes you feel you're not a biological son of the king.

I carried you in my womb and your father king Alfred is responsible for the pregnancy that brought you into this world.

Listen I want you to make up your mind on what you want to achieve in this life of yours.

You have what it takes to be the next king of Naviel and beyond it's borders if you feel like you want it.

Take care of yourself and we will discuss more about this tomorrow"

She then kissed him on his check and left him with the the oil lamp she came with for him to see around him. Luckily for her Varrons came with another lamp and told her that tye the king called for her attention.

She then followed him while Authur went back to sleep.

The king was in his chambers drinking wine to cool his body when Queen Cordelia entered the room.

She was wearing a green beige gown which exposed her breasts a little, stimulating his younger brother down there form it's sleep.

He got up and massaged her shoulders while she looked out of the window looking at the direction of the dungeon where she just came from. She was not in the mood to play love with her husband this evening as she was worried about how her son would pass the night in the dungeon.

King Alfred sighed. Just then queen Cordelia's bracelet fell from her hand and she bent down to pick it up with her back facing tye the king and her sexy legs exposed to his view. The king immediately pulled his belt and trousers, lifted her gown, removed her panties and trust himself inside her before she could get up to cahnge her mind.

Queen Cordelia sighed then flowed with the flow allowing the king to enjoy himself.
