Chapter 4: Betrayed Trust
~Rob's POV~
Bright morning sun filtered through the windows, causing me to cringe at the sudden lighting and open my eyes slightly. As soon as my eyes were adjusted, I saw I was still in my bedroom; Preston's arms still wrapped around my waist and soft breathes coming from his mouth.
I gave Preston a little peck on the cheek before carefully wrestling my way out of Preston's arms and standing up to stretch. That was one of the best nights of sleep I've had in a long time.
After stretching, I quickly and quietly made my way to the door; grabbing my cape and flower crown before heading out the door. Once the door was closed, I hurried off to the kitchen and was greeted by one of the cooks handing me a plate of food.
"Eat my King." She said with a warm smile. "Pete told us what he, you, and your lover were talking about yesterday and he made sure that we gave you food."
"Thank you very much Ma'am." I said with a small bow as I took the plate.
The cook smiled.
"My pleasure my King. I would follow you to the very ends of the Earth." The cook said before she walked off back into the depths of the kitchen.
I let a smile grow on my lips as I walked over to a table and began to eat my breakfast. A few minutes later, I had eaten more than half my meal and threw the rest away before heading to my private study to prepare for the day ahead.
I stood in front of my desk and sorted through papers of different ideas and plans we have come up with for the last two years. It seemed liked forever had passed before a pair of arms wrapped themselves around my waist and a pair of lips gently press against my cheek.
"You're up early love." Preston's sleep filled voice said; his breath tickling my neck.
"Just trying to get some work done since someone, made me sleep." I said, giving Preston a playful glare.
"Not my fault you haven't gotten much sleep and me forcing you to was the only way." Preston said with a shrug before kissing my neck.
"I hate you so much sometimes." I said as I leant into his hold.
Preston kissed my cheek again. "You love me you pleb."
"I know." I said as I pulled out of his hold. "And just so you know, you're the pleb."
"Well at least I..." Preston began before he was cut off by Choco barging into the room; his face full of panic.
"Choco! What's wrong?" Preston and I asked in unison as our panic-stricken friend stopped in front of us.
"You need to come to the main area now!" Choco said as he began to run out again. "And bring a weapon!"
Me and Preston looked at each other as Choco ran off again; before jumping into action. Preston and I grabbed our diamond swords and quickly made our way to the main area; where everyone was fighting. I saw the guys of the Pack fighting a few men in full iron armor who wore the robot insignia on their shoulder.
Mat's insignia....
"How did they find us?!" I exclaimed to Kenny as I joined him in fighting while Preston went to help the others.
"We don't know!" Kenny told me as he blocked a blow that would've sliced his chest. "Everything was fine earlier but then the door busted down and all these soldiers appeared!"
I was about to reply when a shriek sounded from the middle of the battlefield. I quickly took down the guard and turned to see who made that awful cry; quickly finding the cook from earlier this morning lying on the floor with a pool of her own blood surrounding her.
"No!" I cried out as I pushed through everyone and made my way to where the cook lay.
I knelt down on the ground and carefully picked up her head with my hand. She looked up at me with tears in her eyes and a smile on her face.
"You will always be the true king." She whispered almost inaudibly. "I will watch over you as you take back your kingdom. Don't lose hope..."
She shakily raised a bloody hand and put it on my cheek; her hope never leaving her eyes as she gave her final breath. I took a deep breath as tears filled my eyes and laid the cook back on the ground; pushing her eyelids closed to give her piece.
The sounds of battle ceased around me as I continued to kneel there. I only came out of my own world when I felt the tip of a sword press against my back and a rope wrapped tightly around my wrists.
"Your work has been done love." A familiar voice proclaimed as another familiar figure came into view.
"Thank you very much my love. This is everything I asked for."
I looked up the two people in front of me and glared daggers at them both.
"Why Pete? You killed an innocent woman because of something she believed." I growled angrily at my former right hand man.
"She wasn't innocent Robbie." Pete taunted. "She was with you."
"That doesn't mean you can kill her!" I yelled.
"Oh he had every right to kill her Woof." Mat said as he threw an arm around Pete's waist. "He's waited so long to kill someone. Two years in fact."
"You've been working with him this whole time Brandon?" I asked, my voice laced with venom as I said his actual name.
"What can I say?" Pete asked; a smug look on his face. "I love this guy."
Mat smirked as he ordered his guards to take me away; dragging me away as more guards drug away the others. Before I was taken away fully, I swear I saw a flash of gold in both Mat and Pete's eyes as they pulled each other in for a kiss.
~Brandon’s POV~
“Thank you so much love.” Mat’s voice said as we pulled away from the kiss.
“No problem babe.” I said, my voice sounding robotic; not my own.
The screen in front of me flickered off as a shadowy figure stood in front of me and gave me a dark smirk.
“You’re both doing great things you know.” The low, rough voice of the shadowed man said. “With you two working for me, the Woofless family shall finally fall.
“You won't get away with this!” Mat exclaimed as we struggled under our bonds.
“But you forget one thing.” The man said as his hands lit up gold. “I’m not ordinary.”
