"I offer you my condolences, Minister Haystone, but I must say this little stunt you pulled is such a disappointment. You may be in grief right now but that doesn't justify your actions. How bold of you to accuse your queen. If you wish to have your daughter back so much, I won't mind lending a hand so you two could meet," Alec said the latter part in a darker tone, and everyone in the hall knew what he meant.
"My daughter died on her way to the castle after receiving your invitation, King Alec! It is too much of a coincidence!" Minister Haystone insisted and looked at Lauren with overflowing fury in his eyes. His orbs were dark red now, and he was clenching his teeth hard as if he would have shredded Lauren into pieces if Alec did not happen to be there.
