"You let my daughter go out of the palace unsupervised which, in the process disgraced me and on top of that, you dare to raise your sword at my man? Like I said before, I commend you for your bravery. I guess it's true that a woman can change even the strongest man. Fredrick, I do not want to see-" the King got interrupted by the queen and, she was raging. Her small green eyes were as huge as ever. Her jaws were clutched tight and so were her fists. She wasn't on her throne anymore and she was standing erect.
"STOP IT! ENOUGH DAVIES ENOUGH! I was the one who told Fredrick to let her go. He didn't want to do it! I did so, don't punish him because of me, don't!" said the queen.
"Fredrick, your dismissed," said the King. Fredrick left without saying another word.
Then, the King stood up to leave his seat and walked towards his exit but, before he could take a step out, the queen continued saying "Don't you dare walk away from me Davies. You can't avoid this conversation forever. Don't you ever wonder, don't you ever ask yourself the question why does she keep running away? huh? Don't you? Well, let me give you the answer today. It is because you are not a good father!
Yes, you aren't. I mean, which father in their right senses would only converse with their daughter when he wants to talk about marriage. Rose is still a young girl with dreams and aspirations! And all you want to do is to bound her by the four walls of this palace morning, afternoon and night yet, you expect her to find a boy to marry. Do you want her to end up like you and me? In an unhappy marriage"
"We are not unhappy Lilith if we were, we won't be here talking," he said still maintaining his position.
"WE ARE NOT IN A HAPPY MARRIAGE EITHER!" she shouted " King Davies, The seventh, how can you say we are happily married. If not for you and my father, I wouldn't be standing here, beside you. Because I loved another man that wasn't you, you killed Lincoln, the man I lived for.
And I promise you, as long as I am still sitting here, on this throne, as the Queen of South Empire, I will not allow my daughter to go through the same thing I went through."
"Goodnight My Queen," the King said as he left while Oliver followed him leaving Queen Lilith in the room.
Once they were out of the room, she stumbled backward, buried her head, and started to cry.
