"And how can you prove it" the king's secretary asked him, though he knew this prince wouldn't bring up matters that has no base or evidence, he still needed to question him as no one seem brave enough to do it.
Walking close to the projector he turned it on to show the photograph of Mr Ben and Elizabeth's mother with little Elizabeth. "You wouldn't deny this, would you?" then he showed them the mark on Elizabeth's right arm by zooming it, he then showed them the grown Elizabeth with the same mark on the same arm. He handed his father the file in his hand. "If you don't believe me you can take a look" he said to his father. He actually printed the evidence in many piece. He compiled every thing in a sheet of paper and printed many.
While the papers were being passed, he began speaking.
"Elizabeth was twelve when her mother died, the man that killed her impersonated as a palace guard to give a wrong message. After her mother's death, Mr Ben took her in, and told her that her mortal enemies are the royal family." he played a voice record that belongs to Mr Ben that was recorded after the death of Elizabeth's mother.
'Lizzy dear' began Mr Ben, 'You have to understand the severity of this whole thing. Your mother was killed by the royals, you have to be strong to avenge them'
'I don't want to avenge anyone' the little girl spoke with shaky voice.
'If you don't want to, I will do that for you'
'why?'
'because I love you and your mother'
'you never did'
'I do, but the royals threatened me'
'but you are married'
'I was forced'
'by the royals?'
'exactly'
Jason paused it to play another record of Mr Ben.
'You were Swift and weren't caught, you did well' the record was taken after two years of Elizabeth's stay in the palace as a maid.
'but it didn't affect them'
'I know, they have royal blood and it wouldn't affect them immediately but later....., it doesn't have to be said'
'What if they notice?'
'don't worry, okay?. I will give you a flower, it is hard to purchase and it works wonders. All you need to do is add it in any coloured liquid substance and not in water. Make sure no body sees you.'
'Will I throw the flowers inside?'
'it's a powdered flower'
'oh , okay'
'be careful'
'mm'
Jason turned to face every one, with a grim expression, 'how long did this that him?'.
"That is not my voice" Mr Ben spoke with a higher tone than his usual, sounding annoyed for the first time. 'this boy was a thorn in his path, he knew it.'
"It's not?" asked Jason calmly feeling more bored and annoyed with this whole thing.
"Right, it's not. I agree with you Mr Ben." came Dennis voice, he walked into the room to have everyone to look at him with confusion written boldly on their faces.
"It's not" though not sure what was going on he wanted to get himself out of this sticky situation. He knew the news about the brothers fight, since the day Jason left the country Dennis didn't mention his brother's name. He nodded not knowing if he is being saved or not.
"Indeed. Elizabeth Morris was caught poisoning the coffee made for my father by Sara Scott Bryan, the twin daughter of Lissa Scott Bryan who died after a month of the incident as she witnessed the poisoning." this got the secretary's attention as this concern his elder sister.
"Sorry for disappointing you Mr Ben" Dennis said giving Mr Ben an apologetical smile that made the old man want to strangulate him.
The room was filled with gasps and murmurs as some couldn't believe it while some were already planning the death of this crazy twins.The king felt like this was something his sons were supposed to discuss with him first. But then they are the rumoured red and black dragon, quite secretive and a pain in the ass.
Before Jason left the palace he had a meeting with his brother, to which they came to the conclusion of splitting up without the father's notice to gather information discreetly and to inform each other of what they found.
"You can add this to the one in your hand"
