I stared at Anastasia as she stared at me.
This can't be true. Magnus would never do such a thing that would hurt me...
Right?
Anastasia says nothing more but leave me in my room. Is this true? But why do I feel like it's a lie? Why do I feel this overwhelming type of feeling?
I mean it's in my brains. I mean it's in my veins. My thoughts are running in a circle like a toy train.
But...
Who exactly is to blame?
Magnus and Von are seen with three other guards in the deep woods, on their horses and outside Rokha.
"How are the houses going on?" Von asks as they near the builders building the houses with wood meant for a thousand people from Rokha.
The men are muscular, sweaty and looking deadly. Three of them having scars that slides from their forehead, into their eyes and then relying on the skin again beneath their eyes.
"As you can see, over 987 houses have been built"
Von was about to answer them in Thanks when Magnus Interrupts.
"This job has been given to you since last year, what have you been doing?" he asks and the leader of the men that has a sharp ended and curved slim beard, hanging on the outer part of his chin, answered.
"Building a thousand houses isn't a small deal you know. We can speed up if you add more pay"
Magnus smiled. He already felt pity for the mother of this man.
"Are you challenging me?" Magnus asked and the man frowned.
"Are you sick? Is it because we- "
Magnus grabs the neck of the man sitting down and with his left hand he jacked him up, not straight and his legs off the ground. He held the wrist of Magnus trying to catch some breath.
"Do I look like a normal human being to you?" Magnus asks and the man forces himself to shake his head. He is choking... Trying to fight back tor his dear life that is obviously eliminating bit by bit.
The man trying hard to gasp for breath widens his eyes as he stare into those of Magnus that are entirely becoming red. His wolf self is coming out.
"Your highness... " Von nearly yells but reduces his voice so that Magnus will be aware that they are not just the two soldiers that are here.
The other builders stared up at the man that is dying. The younger brother of the man has red eyes now and is trying not to scream his lungs out. Magnus eyes returned to normality and he stared more intensely into the man's eyes.
"Thank your sombre life that this man is here... Else I don't know what to tell your wife when she finds your dead body floating in the river"
With that, Magnus threw the man on the floor and without hesitation, he gasped deeply for breath.
Life is precious and he is not ready to lose it just yet.
"Get to work before I do what I just did to him to all of you" Magnus says and they all scramble up and into their working spaces.
Magnus stood there and inhaled deeply. Hearing the naggings of nails into wood and little metals.
"Ahhh!... " Magnus yells and holds his head
"Your Majesty!" Von exclaims and stands beside Magnus, the other three now beside him.
Lyla. She's not emotionally stabled. He stood up and stared back at the peak of the Castle. Seeing the face Lyla peeking out of the window also.
Something's not right... Something is not right!
"Handle them. I will go to Lyla" Magnus orders and climbed upon his horse.
He flung the ropes and off he went. The four soldiers and builders stared as he rode off.
The younger brother of the man that have a beard and the man himself glared at the cape of Magnus.
They were angry and already seeking revenge.
How dare he?! Why will he do this to me! I, Lyla, of all people.
Upon all the kisses and snuggles that he have made me sodden with, he still have the mind to go out there and cheat on me?!
"Are you stupid Magnus?!" I yell and then the door creaks open and I look back at that... That handsome monster that I call a husband!
He looks hurt! Read my mind now... You... You...
I walk to him with smoke coming out of my nose and ears and everywhere that have a leakage in my body.
I slap him right across the face and with just a slight movement of his face and body, he stayed still and I yell like a mad dog!
"How dare you?! After all those intimacy? I said that when I am ready I will tell you. The time is near but if you can only be more patient!" I yell and his eyebrows knit in confusion as he looked up at me.
"Don't act like you don't know what I am talking about !" I snap and he just looks on emotionless. Unpredictable and unsympathetic!
"Why do you make me feel like a tawdry piece of useless of jewel, huh?!" I ask again, this time a bit calm but still, my voice reduced by just a percent.
I squeeze myself through the side of him and walk out.
"Lyla... "
"No!" I snap and he keeps his cheap mouth shut.
If he really want me why not you come get me?!
But as a cheater does, he doesn't come after me. He stare at me from behind with a very hurt face but his eyes still holds that stupid glints of pity that want to erupt in me but that's a lie!
I walk out of the Castle into my personal garden and sat on the ground.
I don't care if this dress becomes dirty! Cause his heart is!
Magnus stare at Lyla as she left hm behind. But he doesn't ask himself what happened when he was away, he went straight to Anastasia's room.
"Your hair looks lovely, ma'am" the maid complemented and Anastasia nods in pride.
"I am guessing your so - called daughter in law is giving you a headache" the maid said
"She is. Don't worry, I told her that he is cheating on her... Don't worry Matilda... " Anastasia rubs her hand softly on the abdomen of Matilda and Anastasia chuckles.
Just as Anastasia wanted to say something,. the door to her room split wide open and Magnus walked in.
Matilda eyes widened.
Anastasia was too engrossed in talking about Magnus foolish decisions on marrying Lyla that she didn't even noticed when her son came into her room.
"I can't believe I, Queen Anastasia gave birth to someone as stupid like that! Ha!"
Magnus slowly raised his finger to his lips, indicating that the maid should keep her mouth shut.
"Lyla even thought I was happy for her. Such coward, Matilda can you... "
Anastasia turned pale seeing her son by the door of her room. She turned to Matilda and the girl is trembling in fear.
Magnus head is high and his eyes are gradually becoming red.
His wolf self is in charge now.
