The lads returned from the street feast, and a troop of guards took Hux under siege.
Luna clawed Wilmore's arm, pleading with her eyes asking him to help them.
Wilmore put her hand down gently and took out his sword, "dare to touch him, if you want to die."
Nemo and Eliot followed him, unsheathing swords.
They stepped ahead and one of the guards knelt for him.
"We must take them to the Queen."
The palace was serene and not noisy like other days. The clouds were surging the sky from the west side.
"For what reason?"
"We don't know, your highness. The Queen would want to meet them."
Huxley put his hand on the prince's shoulder.
"I can handle it, I broke the law and didn't inform her first. I can bear it."
Wilmore couldn't resist as long as it was his wish to take the responsibility in his heart.
"Natasha, take your lady to the tower, I'll go with them."
Natasha preferred to go but the prince frankly dismissed her. She left with Luna and The others.
"Show us the way?"
Wilmore rolled his sword down and the guard bowed his head.
Going to the palace where the Queen wished to see Hux and the princess, Wilmore asked Eliot and Nemo to stand out of it.
The guards unarmed them except Wilmore who just menaced them with his icy glare.
The door of that meeting hall ran wide and Huxley saw his parents. His father's expression was calm but his mother breathed unlike him. He could swear that she would want to kill him. He peeked at the girl beside her, his hand moved for her, grasped the cold and numb hand of the poor princess.
"Don't be concerned, I won't let them mistreat you."
She was struggling to believe that but those aggressive looks weren't saying that they could simply escape this. The worse part was that she didn't want Hux to handle the suffering all alone.
She peeked at the slender man with white hair, he was General George Bolingtone, his blue eyes were dry and rough but she didn't feel bad. Her eyes caught a short look from Maxima Bolingtine, these people were the Queen's relatives. The Bolingtone kin had kept the marriage among their family and couldn't accept a foreigner simply. Even Luna was considered a stranger, the thought pushed a chill down her spine.
"Son, I doubt if I asked you to attend."
The queen directed to her son.
Wilmore passed him a grin, "my darling Queen, everything related to Huxley Bolingtone is directly summoning me. Did you expect me to be quiet?"
A tinge of dignity was carved as a grin on George's face. He was there as a father but seeing that prince Wilmore covered Huxley brought a state of relief to his heart.
The Queen drummed her fingers on the throne that she had taken her seat.
"Then, I think you both can bear the punishment of breaking laws."
She clenched her fingers. She had to calm Livia down otherwise it could sign her children's death.
His tone was playful, his hands ran wide to the sides.
"You helped them to meet secretly, didn't you?"
Wilmore shrugged but felt Huxley's hand on his shoulder.
The young man flooded ahead, kneeling before the Queen on the cold cobble.
"My Queen, I accept the retribution but I can't let Lady Aya become a mistress when my heart had tasted the warmth beside her. You know what I mean, don't you?" His eyes rolled on his mother, directing to the curse.
After hearing those words that came from this man's heart, Aya rushed ahead and knelt beside him, pushing his tears back.
"Princess Aya! Please rise! I am tending to send you back to Parsa."
Aya's head chilled, her body stiffened, her brother would be disappointed and might not forgive her. He might not punish her but, she couldn't handle the shame that molded on her name.
"Your majesty, please re...reconsider it."
She closed her eyes, kept kneeling beside Hux who was peering at her in surprise.
"Enough! Lady Aya goes nowhere, as the true heir of this land I won't let anyone bring shame to the court that I would sit on its throne!" Wilmore shouted. Disrespecting king Parsa meant claiming an enmity, did his mother lose her sanity?
"Your grace, my son committed a crime." Maxima notified him; she wasn't going to pick a fight with Livia because of this girl and her son's lust.
"Grant me your heart, son!" The Queen looked at him wickedly. She wanted to be certain that Hux deserved Wilmore's loyalty. Maxima's face paled.
To the prince, Hux and Natasha weren't just fellows, they were his small family, the only ones that didn't leave his side the time he was grasping for a single gust of air to breathe.
The Queen directed to a guard, Wilmore was shocked, she just ordered Huxley to take out his heart! Was she testing them? Damn! She was doing this, his mother was playing wicked because of Livia. Hux's parents were calm, just watched this game, and certainly pity their sons' stupidity.
The guard offered Huxley a dagger, Aya's hands were shivering! All of the joy that she collected out of this night just bounced out of her head.
"I'm sorry milady! I can't disobey."
It was all Huxley said, cleaning her tears, he left a kiss on her head, on the hair that was as soft as silk. Her heart stopped working for a moment, she couldn't inhale, her chest stiffened, her heart shuttered.
He stood up and grabbed the dagger and even didn't bother to look at his mother. A long time passed since ever they talked, and the memory had gone hazy.
"Everyone out." The Queen ordered.
As the command was fulfilled, eyes drifted on Hux, the sound of cold steel scrubbing the sheath pricked Aya's ears. She was weak, she was always useless and closed her eyes desperately. She wasn't even able to beg, believing it was a nightmare and she had to wake herself up before blood could embrace her.
Hux drew the steel up and looked into the Queen Rose's eyes, the dagger slid down when the blade turned to ice and broke to pieces of fluffy ice, dancing and drizzling down on the floor.
"It seems no one takes me seriously!"
Wilmore warned his mother, roaring, his fangs grew longer, he strode to his mother.
Aya still was slouched, cold tears left her left eye and jolted as soon as two strong arms hugged her. She couldn't stop her tears and the shake that only could be healed by Hux. She could not believe that in such a short time, her heart began to beat for this man.
"Calm down, son! I was testing him! What he desired wasn't something silly. But he must bear a week of jail for breaking the law. I am going to write a letter for the king of Parsa."
The Queen stood up, approaching her son, added, "Lady Aya! You will become the wife of the second Heir of Bolingtone. Gather your stuff and move to the left tower."
It was stressful, everything she performed to test Wilmore sounded heavy and brought the Queen a daze. Luna had changed him and she just witnessed with her own eyes. She said no more and left the hall.
Maxima and George went after her not even upset to ask their son if he was alright, and the girl who was about to faint. These boastful Peacocks just cared about nothing! Hux was entirely disappointed, his mother did nothing when the queen asked him to commit it to end his life.. If it weren't for this girl, he would go to the south just to die there.
