The next day, early in the morning Lady Ameera woke up calmly cooking breakfast to his family in law. They were all on the table when she put the food on the table and she joined them. Denver's sons were shocked by Ameera's reaction according to what happened last night.
Others of course without a problem eat except for lord Ryan who didn't eat anything he was just there watching others eating.
"I didn't know you knew how to cook, it's delicious, my daughter!" Albany said with a smile on face, he really seemed to like it.
"I'm happy that you are enjoying the meal, my lord." She added, giving him back a smile.
"I thought you were mad last night?" Jeffrey asked curiously.
Ryan beat him with his leg on Jeffrey's leg gently asking him to shut up. The mood changed a bit and Albany noticed then asked curiously. "What happened last night?" "We were at..." About Nathaniel to say something Ameera interrupted him. "It was a misunderstanding, I don't think we should bring that back..." Ameera after she said that then looked at Nathaniel. "...are we? My lord!" She asked.
Nathaniel had nothing to say just looking at Ameera, Lord Denver didn't add anything else. After breakfast they stood up and everyone took his way and the maid came to clean the table.
Before lord Ryan leaves, Lady Ameera blocks his way.
"You didn't eat, my lord! May I know why?" She asked gently.
"You were mad last night and you woke up preparing breakfast for us!" He replied honestly then nodded. "My apologies for not trusting you, my lady." He added.
Ameera was shocked and asked. "So you think I poisoned the food?"
Ryan nodded, Ameera disappointed and surprised shaking her head.
"Me who thought I was hated but I see that the problem in this family is that you love yourself. You were sure that I poisoned the food and you stayed calm and you didn't say anything to them and kept watching them eating!" She said.
Lord Ryan didn't add anything on that and just left lady Ameera surprised.
Frost Harbor kingdom, in the castle, princess Madeline was alone standing outside on the porch watching ladies-in-waiting doing some activities outside but her mind was away until prince Audrey joined her and stood beside her. Princess Madeline bowed down him doing her greetings.
"A nice morning to you, my prince!" She said. "I realized last night that I didn't thank you properly for what you did for me, my lady." He said. "I don't think you could do anything else than saying thank you, my prince." She said.
The prince turned looking at her and she did the same.
"No, really! Maybe we should go together tomorrow morning to watch the gladiators. It will be fine, my favorite player will play." He said. "I'm...extremely sorry, my prince but I don't like those games. I'm so pure, I don't like to watch people get hurt." She said.
Prince Audrey looked at her and got a bit closer.
"So how can you be that pure and you are planning to get your kingdom back. I don't know if you know this but to get that blood will flow." He said.
Princess Madeline thought about that and sighed.
"I need you to teach me how to get a stone heart." She said.
One guard comes behind from the prince's back side and stands behind him and bent for him.
"Your highness, the king wants to see you!" The guard said.
Prince Audrey smiled at her and left with the guard to see the king.
King Albert sitting on the throne and Queen Clarence on his side and prince Audrey in front of them and Lord Yemen was there in the room too.
"I want to know why you let that woman help you with west coast problems and let her speak to my people! What the hell passed in your mind?" The King asked.
"Without disrespect, my king, did that go wrong? For my information people understood her and they are calm now so I don't think you should have anything negative about that, father." Audrey said.
"I feel like she did that because she wants something back." The queen added.
"What tells you that I did that because I wanted something from her too?" Audrey asked. "What would it be?" The king asked. "Her trust, we need her to be open with us so she can tell us everything because I know she has much we would like to know. I don't trust her 100% yet." Audrey said.
"I allow myself to say this to my king but I think the prince is right, she has to feel secure here and trusted in both sides." Lord Yemen added.
The king thought about that for a moment.
"If you say so, but please keep her away from our reign." The king said.
Prince Audrey smiled and said. "Understood, my king." Audrey said.
The queen didn't like it anyways she couldn't go on the opposite side.
Silverscale kingdom, at the castle. Lord Arthur found out about the woman he was with that night that she was dead and he didn't think twice to realize that it was the queen's order. He left angry to see her and The queen was with Lady Gray talking about stuff and Bryan entered the room.
"Excuse me my queen to interrupt like this but Arthur wants to talk to you, I didn't allow him to enter here because he seemed ferrous." Bryan said.
The queen and lady Gray look at him for a moment without saying anything. Then looked back to each other confused.
"You know I can go and we may talk later, your Majesty." Lady Gray said. "No,no,no, I will go to talk to him and I won't be for long." Eleanor said.
The queen went with Bryan to see Arthur and lady Gray stayed enjoying the tea.
They meant in the corridor and you can see how angry he is.
"May I help you, my lord?" Eleanor asked. "What did you do to her?" He asked. "If you are here and in this situation, I think you already know what happened." She said.
He looked surprised and said. "You did it!"
"And then what? Don't act like you care, I bet you don't even know her name." She said. "Eleanor! She had a family." He said.
"My queen, objection and you are the one who pushed me to do that, I warned you and you didn't take me seriously so if there would be someone who feels guilty, you must be not me." She said.
Lord Arthur was so disappointed nodding her head and turned his back at her leaving and the queen came behind him saying.
"You have to stop doing that and I will stop killing them, Arthur we need to talk."
Arthur turned back and grabbed her neck and joined her with the wall.
"Stop talking!" He shouted.
Bryan was fast and moved him away before he hurt her, tears rolling in the queen's eyes. Bryan grabbed lord Arthur from behind and pointed the Dagger on his neck.
"On your commands, My queen!" Brayn said.
The queen looked Arthur in the eyes and took a breath then said with a pitty voice. "Let him go, he lost someone."
The queen goes back to see lady Gray and Bryan let Arthur go and left with the queen.
Arthur was so angry he left to see his sister lady Aurora Thompson in her work place room, on the other side of the castle and came to sit in front of her while lady Aurora was reading a book and she was surprised by Arthur's visit.
The room was like a library with many books of the kingdom and royal family stories.
"What can I help you with brother?" Lady Aurora asked nicely.
"Eleanor is driving me nuts, do you realize that she ordered someone to kill an innocent woman just because I slept with her." He said.
Lady Aurora was calm as always he looked at him and said. "Brother, I never wished once to enter your personal life, again with the queen but you have to know that she's a normal woman and has feelings, you disrespected her by seeing another woman. Even if either of you... two didn't want this marriage but she chooses to respect you which you have to do too."
"Well! That...but she wasn't supposed to kill her." He said.
"Do you think that woman couldn't think wrong with the queen, after seeing that her husband is looking somewhere else?" She asked.
Lord Arthur thought about it and Lady Aurora stood up on her place and came closer to Arthur's chair and kneeled in front of him.
"Brother! She needs you, now more than ever and you know that." She added.
Lord Arthur went back to see his warriors while they were in lunch time and Seat with Matthew and Kenneth. Even if he joined but he wasn't with them he was thinking about what lady Aurora told him.
"How can you drink this much knowing that you till in the trainings, Matt?" Kenneth asked.
"My wife told me she's waiting for our child and this is the only way I should celebrate this, can you imagine i will have my first born and I'm sure it will be a boy." Matthew said.
"Yeah! Keep praying to be a son, I just realized that women start to have girls as the first born." Kenneth said. "I'm going to accept to have a child too." Arthur said.
They looked at him and he turned eyes on them.
"Yeah! Cause if she doesn't have the future king she will be in danger and same for the kingdom. Our kingdom needs a king." He added.
Kenneth and Matthew both nodded for agreement.
"I never went over that and i was finding that stranger how you was pushing the most powerful women in the kingdom." Matthew said. "And beautiful." Kenneth said.
Arthur sighed and said. "No more stressing myself for that, we gonna have a child then I will get back on my work and I don't have any reason to keep pushing her away." "Indeed!" Kenneth said. "Maybe you should get married too, Kenneth!" Matthew asked.
They all laughed. "Of course I want to but Arthur hasn't said anything yet to me so I'm waiting." Kenneth replied seriously.
Arthur was shocked for a moment.
"Oh! Ma gad, you was serious?" He asked. "Men!" Matthew looked at Arthur a weird face and Kenneth nodded twice.
"Yeah!" With a disappointed face he said.
They seemed to all know what they was talking about.
"Okay! I will think about that Kenneth...you are a good friend and loyal and father love you of course." Arthur said.

Laura Lifting the grasses taking them to horses and Vincent coming from the other side, he came to see her and when Laura saw him approaching her she left uncomfortable but she stood still in front of him looking at him curious to hear what he wanted.
"Mrs Laura, why are you looking at me like that? I just passed to say hello." Vincent said.
"It doesn't seem like that sir, what can I help you with?" She asked.
Vincent laughed.
"Lord David want to see you." He said. Laura asked while shocked. "Now!" Vincent nodded twice for agreement.
"And why that? Tell him that I'm working, I don't think he will put food on my table if he acts like this with me." She seemed serious saying that.
"Who do you think you are Mrs? I will not ask you that twice." He said.
Vincent went back to what he was doing and Laura thought about it for a moment and put the hoe she had in hand, she slid herself down on the ground to look dirty then left murmuring so ferrous.
Laura arrived in lord David's room and he was there on the site drinking wine waiting for her and he stood up and got closer to her.
"You look dirty!" He said. "I was working, my lord!" She said.
"You may get a bath here in my room woman, don't you think?" He asked.
"You...don't have anything...to do at this time? You shouldn't be home right now, my lord!"
She signed and added. "You... interrupted my work, I thought the deal was at night only."
He got closer to her laughing.
"The deal? Really! I thought this was the punishment and I don't remember the part that said it had to be only the night. Woman!" He said.
His voice scared her and she stepped one foot behind.
"I'm extremely sorry my lord, for a second I forget my place." She said. "Good! Then go and take a bath on the contrary if you want me to take you, which will be with pleasure." He said with a smile on face.
Laura didn't move, she just kept looking at him an annoyed look. Lord David stepped very close to her face.
"Don't look at me with those judgy eyes, I gave you a choice. If you want you can tell me to take you back to your cell instead of always looking at me with those eyes." He said.
About lord David to turn back Laura jumped on him and kissed him.
"I will always pick this." She said.

"You don't have to be worried about that father, i...took care of it..." David said. "Do you mean we should put some changes?" He asked. "No really, I think we should change something we really exaggerated." Alaska said.
Lord David nodded for agreement.

They all saw her and Jeffrey went to speak with her first and others ignored her.
"Lady Ameera! I'm surprised to see you here." Jeffrey said.
Lady Ameera smiled and said. "I couldn't stay at home chilling, while you are here all day without anything to eat so I brought this delicious food for you."
"I'm sorry that my brother was the one to choose you while he can't even take care of you." He said.
"You agreed on that?" She asked curiously. "I regret not being the one who has chosen you." He said.
Lady Ameera and Grace were shocked for a moment to see that he was serious saying that and Lord Nathaniel came over and took lady Ameera aside to talk, lord Ryan was just observing them.
"Who the hell told you to bring us food?" He yelled at her. "My bad, if you are feeling uncomfortable with it my lord but isn't an obligation. You can't eat if you want too." She replied calmly and her calm made him more angrier.
Nathaniel sighed and asked so annoyed. "Do you have something to say to me, lady?" "Or do you mean...do you forget to ask for apologies to me after humiliating me in front of everyone?" She asked.
Lord Nathaniel laughing at her. "Are fuckin serious? What do you think lady? That I will go on my knees and beg you to forgive me?" Questioning her. "... you look more stupid thinking that I could do that, such that I don't regret a second to have said what I said to you." He added.

"I think I'm obliged to make you my friend. You can see that no one likes me here." She said. "I will be glad to have you as my friend, my lady!" Grace said.
Lady Ameera smiled.
"You must be the only one who is good here, I remember before I came here my mother told me how the Denver are evil people and I didn't listen to her because I didn't want to disobey my father. And you know what? I don't blem either because I think they would never let me came here if they was sure about those rumor." Ameera said.
"I don't want to make you feel worse than this my lady, but I think your father knew because he was there when their mother died." Grace said.

"Yeah, it was fast the way she died but I think she didn't die as they said. I was still a young girl I can't remember very well but I'm sure your father was here that time." Grace said.
Lady Ameera was a bit scared and confused.
"I would never forgive my father if he let me marry in this family knowing their way of living...I need to know what happened to their mother, Grace, and the only way is to see the grandmother...can you help me with that?" Ameera asked.
"I don't want anyone to know if I went there." She added.
"I'm...sorry my lady, I can't help you with that, I would loose my job for it and I have a family to take care of." Grace said.
"No,no,no, You don't have to worry, we will be discreet. Not now or tomorrow let us think how we will go there." Ameera said.
