"If you would be the one to open your mouth, then you would be the one to die first. So, you decide what you want. All I want is for you to get the hell out of here." I shouted and she finally came to her senses. "You.. how can you talk to me like that?" she asked, if i had doubt that she was crazy before then i was sure now. "Why? Are you the royal princess of her majesty? Or you want more insults that you are still standing here?" I asked , tilting my head. And as if on cue both knights came and stood…-

Cassius pov Only I know how I have controlled myself for a long time. When I reached there and looked at the blood soaked dress of Marianne and the ashen face of Monique, I just wanted to kill everyone around me. When the potion finally worked and monique came out of danger only then did I feel better. It had been enough, if killing my family was not enough, they have not started targeting Marianne. For a minute I even thought of leaving her, so that she could be safe. But all my resolve crumbled when…

Marianne pov "That was the condition of war. We never wanted to kill anyone. We just wanted to go home. They were afraid and attacked the knights and the knights retaliated. I still apologise for the loss you suffered. But trust me you are like family. And if you think we are still wrong. You have the right to give punishments.`` I bowed my head further to show my sincerity when I felt a hand on my back. I saw that Cassius was bowing too, and then Killian also joined. "Hey, what are you all doing, it…

Marianne pov "Your highness, we did not get the antidote there too." said the pair of knight that have returned from the viscount palace. I didn't even know how many people have already denied that they did not have the antidote available. To think that it was just an accident would be foolish now. Someone had planned it efficiently. I heard the footsteps again when Cassius entered with Killian. He came forward and hugged me when I did not even move. "Don't worry. Everything would be fine." he said…

Roselia pov contd. "We are not here to fight, we need their help. It is the matter of life and death of my god-mother. So you better behave or I will kill you later." he looked at me startled but before he could reply, Serul finally came to the stage. He was coming with a smirk on his face and his hands were filled with weapons but when his eyes fell on me, he frowned. "You are the one who came to save the couple that day, right?" I nodded and he sighed. He put the arrow back and handed the bow to a man…

Roselia pov I was sure our empire had plenty of herbalists and physicians that work in the line of making poison, but still she asked me to go to outlaws who had tried to kill me. I wanted to retort, but looking at the condition of Monique, I did not have the heart to do so. She was like a mother to me too. When I walked out of the palace I saw a carriage coming from my palace towards Essendson's palace. Only then did I remember I had accepted Edward's invitation to go out with him for today. I stood…

Marianne pov. "Mother" I murmured as I saw her getting taken by a knight towards the physician. I would not have been that scared if she just had been turned unconscious since she sometimes works too hard and tires herself, but the blood in the cover of her lips had terrified me. I ran behind the knights to the infirmary. The physician was surprised to see so many people at once but then his eyes fell on my unconscious mother in her knight's arms. "Oh, what happened to my lady?" he asked, confused as…

3rd person pov "Stop the carriage here" the voice came barely above a whisper yet the coachman nodded and stopped the carriage. A man covering his face with his handkerchief came out from a carriage that did not have any flag or symbol. He looked around like a thief and when he was sure that no one was around only then did he move forward. His steps were hasty as he walked towards the darkest palace of the empire. Instead of walking to the main entrance, the man walked behind the palace towards a wall…

Marianne pov How could I be such a fool! I could not believe that I did not notice the man and let him stay with mother for such a long time. It would have been more than an hour already. I wore the first dress I saw and walked out of my chamber without even wearing jewels or combing my hair properly. Though I was assured that he could not physically harm mother in the palace, there was a high chance that he could offer something to mother to eat, the way marques Wiltshire had given me. "My lady, you…

Marianne pov When the sun shone, and the new day started, Cassius was already gone. Only Killian was sleeping in my arms. I gently moved to not disturb his sleep. Daulla moved to wish me but I shook my head and she took a step back. Wearing my outer robe, I walked out of the room towards my office. "Go and ask lord James, is there any news or letter from my father and if there is no news, ask him to come and meet me urgently." Daulla understood the tension in my words, so she nodded and left…
