"There are enough witnesses to the words I have spoken today. Or are you afraid of fighting the woman you had a knife against her throat?" the Queen asked, there was a trace of sarcasm in her tone.
"I accept," General Thompson replied. He could not explain why but he knew the Queen definitely had some tricks off her sleeve. He was unaware of her skills when it comes to fighting but he could never guess she was capable of killing him. He was still a general after all. The King shook his head. As much as he would have loved to save his friend from this current situation there was nothing he could do.
If there was no war looping around the kingdom then he would have taken the decision he wanted but he could not do that. He could not afford enemies from within the kingdom talk more of within the royal family. He knew his wife was a good fighter but he could not be so sure about her current state.
