The force of Henrie's anger was evident as he shattered the table, causing his fist to bleed. Female servants gasped in shock, and Mr. Hermann quickly fetched a towel to tend to Henrie's wound.
The queen was taken aback by Henrie's reaction, which she perceived as an overreaction. She turned sour at the realization that Henrie was willing to go to such lengths for Lady Runa, but not for his own family.
"But she is still your sister despite her personalities and quirks. You have to back her up. You have to be there to support her, not against her," Queen Emma snapped. "Are you forsaking your own bloodline for a stranger?"
That sole question was enough to erupt Henrie's anger further. He was like a blazing volcano, screaming at his mother.
"How dare you call my fiancée a stranger? Mother, are you in your right mind? You just waged war on me! I will kill your so-precious daughter, Mother. I WILL kill Eleanor with my own hands."
