MARRIED TO THE BLOOD KING

DRAMA IN COURT ROOM

"Your highness , I had an emergency" the man said trying to regain some confidence , as Kadens eyes flashed red , and shone wider ,
" you dare lie to your king " Kaden said in an angry yet calm voice , as the man immediately fell on his knees , as tears streamed down his face ,

" my king please forgive me , I was deeply in need of money , I owe a lot of people " the man said as he feel on his knees ,

" who gave you the orders " Kaden said as he looked the man dead in his eyes ,
" I can not speak she will kill me "the man said as his gaze turned pleading , and he turned to Astriana for help  ,
" a woman , who is she " Gatheb asked as he came forward and stood beside Kaden ,

" her highness please help me " the man said as he looked at Astriana to see if she would show him any compassion  , because he knows the king never shows mercy ,

"your highness maybe we should " Astriana said as she immediately stopped speaking  when Kaden's angered gaze settled on her face , his beautiful features stoned as ice , as his eyes swirled between flames , abd darkness seen beneath , he walked up to the man , as he held him on his neck , and raised him above his shoulders

" you dare look my wife with your filthy eyes , you better speak the name of the person , I don't care if you die or not , because I am going to kill you anyway " Kaden said with a cold voice , as all the people present shivered with the intensity of his voice ,

" it was , it was" the man said as an invisible force started choking him , as he struggled to take a breathe , as  Kaden left the hold on his neck , and he fell to the floor , as he held on his neck , and started gasping like a fish as he struggled to breathe ,  he then  started coughing ,as blood flowed from his eyes , nose and mouth as the floor beneath him turned to a pool of blood , as the throne room became eerily silent as they watched this unfold , till he slumped on the floor and died on his blood , and a black smoke surrounded his body till it disappeared ,
"What sort of sorcery is this " one of the duke shouted as the people present in the court room  expression drastically changed ,

" black magic " one of the dukes said ,as he stood from his seat and came forward to take a proper look at the man,

" Sir Theophiles , I think it is better if you remain on your seat to maintain the orderliness of the throne room " Gatheb said as he directed a warning gaze to the man ,

" how can we keep quiet, when it is clear somebody is operating in dark magic in the palace grounds " another said as he stood up to back Sir Theophiles ,

" But witches are banned from Hezab  by your fore father King Reginald , when he killed the powerful witch  princess , ALICE  " ,

" how can can one even enter the groundings of Hezab , a barrier was put on Hezab by King Reginald after he killed Princess Alice " he finished as he looked at the king with questioning eyes ,

" it seems our king is not respected enough in his palace for one of his men to betray him and work with a witch under his guardiance " ,

" It seems your father was right we should have  listened to the last King , King Kaden is too weak , I am sure Kiran would had made a better option " a man said as his head was immediately detached from his body and rolled on the floor as his wife let out a loud scream and began sobbing , as all the people bowed in a submissive pose, as the kings chest rose and fell in synch as his eyes swirled between colours of red emmitting flames of fire and green ,

" I believe that is enough warning to anyone who challenges my authority , now let's finish why we came here for , as for the rest of you who challenged my authority , you are lucky your fore father's where picked by mine to rule beside him , or your head would have been rolling beside his , and don't you dare provoke me , believe me , I fear no one " Kaden said as he walked up to his throne and sat down  as the people kept their heads low ,
" all rise " he said as they  raised their heads and took their seat .

"continue with the proceedings " he said as he turned to face Gatheb , who nodded his head and stepped toward .

" we are gathered here today to judge rightfully , on the accusation laid upon our  king wife , princess Astriana " Gatheb said , he then walked forward to Yana and Chera who had kept their head low through the ordeal , and had not said a single word ,

" did you or did you not , change the clothing's made specially for her highness for her welcoming ceremony " Gatheb said as he looked at Yana with a stern face ,as Yana raised her  head , and her eyes flashed black , and Gatheb eyes widened in horror .
