Aethelfrith's POV

"Where are you going?" Leon asked the moment I stood up from the bed.

"I should pay Queen Elisabela a visit," I replied, walking towards the door.

"But you haven't seen or visited her since you returned, why do you want to visit her today?" Leon asked curiously.

I sighed heavily, "I would love to greet her, that's all," I walked out of the room.

"Be polite and call her mother at least, you can win her over with that," Leon shouted at the top of his lungs so I could hear him outside the room.

I walked to Queen Elisabela's room, I didn't even wait for my arrival to be announced. I just walked in, she was playing a game of chess with her right handmaid.

"Good evening Queen Elisabela," I Greeted, slightly bowing my head out of respect.

"My son is hurt, so what is so good about the evening?" Queen Elisabela asked, her voice low and sad, still concentrating on her game of chess.

"Your son is healing," I said. I gestured for her maid to leave the room, which she did.

    Crimson's POVI left the field and got to my room so angry, the anger was burning me, my whole skin was hot with anger. I picked up a vase and threw it at the mirror, the mirror shattered, and I let out a frustrating scream."How dare she Insult me publicly, who does she think she is?" I screamed, tossing more things on the floor."Princess Crimson, you will hurt yourself if you do this," Katrina said, taking the baseball bat from my hand. The anger within me couldn't take it, I slapped Katrina across the cheek, the sound echoed in the room, and her cheeks reddened."You too? Who do you think you are? Who gave you the right to take it away from me?" I yelled at her, my nails digging into her skin, Katrina whimpered in pain."Just who?" I pushed her to the ground.I received a sounding slap across my face, I looked up to see who had slapped me but it was no other than my mother."Get your act together you fool," Mother's voice firm yet sounding irritated. "What are you still doing her

    Crimson's POVI got to my room and sat in front of the mirror, to my surprise the room was clean so soon. I called for Rose and Katrina immediately."Rose massage my hands and Katrina my legs," I instructed and immediately they got to work."Princess Crimson, your hands are so sore and stiffened," Rose said, massaging my hand."I know, I had to use it a lot today," I pouted."What about my favorite sword?" I asked"I ensured your sword was well kept after practice," Katrina said."Really? Okay, I feel bad my sword had to taste blood for the first time," I said, feeling guilty because of what I had done to Aethelfrith."Princess, what type of punishment do you plan on giving Lady Tyramon?" Rose asked, curiously, looking at me from the mirror to get my reaction."I don't really know," I groan, "but if you have anything in mind let me know, okay.""How about you make her do all the work?" Rose suggested."That's too small," I replied."How about you send her home so she won't be on your

    Crimson's POV"Call Tyramon to my bathing suit," I ordered Rose."Princess, what punishment would you give Lady Tyramon?" Katrina asked, washing my hair."I don't know when she comes, my mood will decide," I smiled."You are late," I said to Tyramon the moment she entered my room."I had things to take care of," Tyramon said, making me snicker in amusement."Things to take care of? When the Crown Princess summoned you?" I laughed out loud."Am sorry I should have come early," Tyramon apologized."Should I also punish you for coming late to my room?" I smirked."Am sorry, Prince Aethelfrith sent me on an errand," Tyramon said.She lied, why the fuck is she lying and using Aethelfrith's name."Really?" I said, I stared at her before I chuckled.I didn't want to ask anything else so I just let it be but like I said my mood would determine her punishment and right now Tyramon has put me in the wrong mood.I sat in front of the mirror after bathing, my maids were using the baby oil to mass

    Tyramon's POVI paced in my room up and down impatiently, my head was filled with worries, about if Aethelfrith was fine or not.Has his arm been healed or not?Did the doctor check the hand or not?I was not able to control my curiosity. I opened the door, about to go to Aethelfrith's room when I saw Rose standing by the door with her hands in the air as if she was about to knock on the door."Rose, what are you doing here?" I asked I was confused because I didn't send for her.She bowed her head slightly, "Lady Tyramon, Crown Princess Crimson has sent for you," she delivered her message and Left immediately.I wanted to go see Aethelfrith but I had to go see Crimson because I still have a pending punishment. I entered Crown Princess Crimson's room but she was in her bathing suit so I had to wait for her to come out.When she eventually came out, Her Majesty was just in her black lace underwear."You are late," Crimson said the moment she stepped her feet into her room."I had things

    Aethelfrith's POV"So what did Zella want in return?" Leon asked, looking at the signed paper Zella gave to me.I sighed, "I don't know yet, she said when the time is right,""You fool, you really signed the papers," Leon smacked my head."Shhhhh," I said, placing my finger on my lips when I heard a faint sound coming from the door. Leon raised his eyebrows and mouthed "What?"I went to the door because I was sure I heard a faint knock, I opened the door and the sight before me broke my heart into pieces. I was shocked rather than surprised to see Tyramon in this state and in front of my door. Tyramon gave a faint smile before falling unconscious. I rushed so she would fall on my body rather than fall on the floor. I carried her into my room and gently put her on the bed."Jezz what happened to her?" Leon asked, his eyes widened with surprise rather than shock at her state."I don't know for sure but I can only say it's Crimson handwork," I said, my voice certain."Damn, what are y

    Aethelfrith's POV"My punishment is to get married to Leon," Tyramon announced, her words sounding like thunder to my ears. It felt as if I had lost my sense of hearing."Or?" Leon asked, how could he be so sure there is an alternative?"I will leave the kingdom and never return," Tyramon said, her eyes on her Palm.Leon breathed a sigh of relief, "You are taking the latter," he hurriedly said."Hmmm," Tyramon lifted her head to look at Leon, as if not expecting him to say what he had just said."What? You are obviously taking the latter, aren't you?" Leon raised his eyebrows."Crimson doesn't have that type of right," I said, my voice firm. I was about to leave the room to Crimson when Leon held my right wrist."Crimson has the right, I mean she has the right to arrange my marriage," Leon said. I could clearly hear the amusement in his voice."Is it funny," I question"It's not," Leon was talking when I interrupted, "Crimson has the right on you and not on Tyramon!" I yelled out.How

    Crimson's POVI let Tyramon go after confirming what I wanted to confirm, I knew she would go to Aethelfrith's room and right now I couldn't care. After Tyramon left, I had my bath again, u couldn't let her blood be on me."Crown Princess, you seem so happy," Rosa said, she smiled warmly at me."Do I?" I smile shyly."Yes Princess," Rosa answered. I knew she wanted to know the reason and of course, I would tell her the reason."I'm happy because I verified what I wanted to verify," Rosa nodded her head in response to what I had just said."Katrina," I called."Yes, Princess," Katrina answered. She handed me my red diamond ring. I kept the ring inside a single drawer and locked it."Whatever happened today, should never be spoken off, never, have I made myself clear?" I warned."Yes, Crown Princess Crimson," Both Rosa and Katrina answered in unison. I knew something was off about Tyramon from the first day she stepped her feet into this Realm and now I have confirmed it. "It's obviou

    Crimson's POV"Yes Father, I do have a good reason," I said.I looked straight at Aethelfrith, the smirk on his face already faded, I clicked my tongue, and winked at Aethelfrith.There was no way they thought I didn't have a backup plan, I wasn't that stupid.I had planned everything carefully, from getting evidence to giving the punishment after all I learnt from the best. Leon, Aethelfrith, and Tyramon's faces were priceless at this moment. I wanted to laugh but I couldn't."Wh…wha.. what reason," Leon stammered,I was expecting Aethelfrith or Tyramon to ask first but I was a bit disappointed that Leon asked first."Leon, be calm, I will answer," I said. I took a sip of water from my glass. I loved the panic I sensed in Tyramon's eyes."Crimson, what reason are we talking about?" The king asked me."If it's a good reason will you let my punishment be?" I asked, trying to strike a deal with the king."Yes, I promise not to interfere," The king promised."Okay then, there is a rule t

I could see him fall to the floor, everyone around me was falling on the ground, losing consciousness.I turned and my eyes caught a glimpse of Tyramon, she wasn't on the ground, she was kind of in the air, she wasn't weak like the rest of us, she was stronger, I saw a beautiful wings behind her, I tried to keep my eyes opened to be sure I was seeing right.I felt liquid rolling down my nose, I touched my nose and discovered it was blood, what is going on?

    Crimson's POVQueen Elizabela has been gone for minutes but it seems like hours, she promised to help but that is what she was going to do."Mother is taking so long from wherever she went to, I wonder where she is?" Leon groaned and started whining like a child."Leon, be patient, Queen Elisabela will be here soon," I assured but I wasn't even sure of what I was saying because nobody knows where she went."Queen Elisabela can't help us, only the king can help us," Tyramon said and we turned to look at her, the eyes in the rooms were like knives ready to attack if she said nonsense."The Queen would only become weak, extremely weak, something terrible might happen to her," Tyramon trembled as if she was terrified of something or someone."Why are you so sure of this?" I asked, I was curious, I still suspected her of being a fairy."I am well aware you are already taking responsibility for Aethelfrith disappearance because that is your mistake but will you also take responsibility for

    Crimson's POV"Crimson! Am talking to you, who the actual fuck is Azrael!" Leon yelled.I was angry at the fact a spare prince dared to raise his voice at me but could not do anything because I needed him to save my Aethelfrith and my stupid right hand maid just say anything they want."Azrael is a prisoner, whom I have locked up in the underground dungeon," I said, with no emotions in my face or eyes."Why did you lock him up?" Tyramon asked."Hmmm, excuse me?" I questioned pretending I didn't hear what she was saying at first."Of course, she is Crown Princess Crimson so she goes around locking people who step on her feet," Leon scoffed. I was holding on to my last bit of patience."Leon!" I called out almost in tears of frustration."But he is locked up in the underground dungeon, so is it possible for him to do all this?" Katrina voiced her opinion."Meaning he isn't the one, someone has his back," Leon said,"I thought as much, the way he spoke with confidence," I said with pride

    Crimson's POV I was confused as to who Leon was warning, and I wonder which fairy has entered the realm and who brought the fairy in. We all arrived at the library, it was dusty and extremely dark, "I didn't know we had this kind of library in the palace." "You don't know anything about this Realm and you are to become the queen of this Realm, I truly pity Aethelfrith and the future of this Realm," Leon said but his attention was on the dusty books on the shelf. "I have never been shown this part of the palace before," I pouted. "Really, that is the more reason why you should always look around, father money keeps getting wasted on your Queen's training," Leon scoffed. "The king's money is getting wasted, that's the reason she has us," Katrina said and I smiled at her. "Did you hear that?" I clicked my tongue. "Of course, I did, you better watch your back, someone else might become the queen," Leon said and a smirk appeared on his face. I looked at Tyramon, "I am the only Quee

    Crimson's POV We waited for Leon to bring whatever it was from under the bed and he eventually did but he used a cloth to bring it out. "Leon, what is that?" I asked. "I wonder what they teach you in your Queen lesson," Leon said, his voice filled with mockery and amusement. "It's a gem, a rare one at that, wherever this gem is left somewhere, something bad will surely happen, someone is bound to get hurt or even worse dies," Leon said, dropping the gem on the table. "I know This gem but not everyone can touch it, except the person who controls it," Katrina said. "That's why you were burnt Crown Princess Crimson, because the gem was used to touch you," Leon explained. "Not everyone can acquire the gem except some special type of people," Leon said and turned to look at Tyramon. "Special type of people, do you mean the fairies?" Katrina asked and Leon nodded his head. "How do you know all these?" A curious Rosa asked Katrina. "They were taught in Crown Princess Crimson Queen's

    Crimson's POV "Crown Princess Crimson, where is Aethelfrith?" Tyramon asked, I stared in confusion "He was there, he was lying there just a moment ago," I said in Total confusion. "Crown Princess Crimson, weren't you asleep for sometime?" Rosa asked. "Yes, yes, I fell asleep, when I fell asleep he was there but when I woke up, he wasn't," I explained to everyone present in the room. "How does that make any sense!" Tyramon raised her voice. "Are you raising your voice at the Crown princess of this Realm?" Rosa asked "And even more, because her husband is missing?" Katrina added. "Maybe he regained consciousness," I thought out loud. "Yes maybe he did and left the room," Tyramon said "Then let's go check for him," Katrina said. "We should check his room first," Rosa said. They were about living the room when I stopped them. "Wait, if Aethelfrith left here on his own, he would have arranged the bed, he is that neat and he was too weak to even move a finger on his own," I said,

"Crown Princess, I don't know, I just met them dead," the guard said trembling."Explain what you saw," I said calmly."After dropping Crown prince Aethelfrith in your room, I went to my duty post, when I got there it was so quiet and I saw traces of blood on the floor, I went further then I saw the guard who was with Crown prince Aethelfrith dead on the floor," the guard explained."Then what about Azrael?" I asked, my curiosity piqued."He was chained, there was blood all over his body and yes his mouth too, the guard who chained him up was dead too""The guards on duty were killed but Azrael wasn't, explain to me how does it make sense," I said, pacing the room."Crown Princess Crimson," Rosa called out, when I turned I saw the guard was on the floor looking lifeless, Rosa and Katrina were by his side.I rushed to them, I put my hand on his nose to confirm if he was still breathing, "he is alive," I breathe a sigh of relief."Blo…blood," Katrina

    Crimson's POV"Tyramon," Aethelfrith called out weakly,"Tyramon?" I scoffed weakly, Aethelfrith called out to her again weakly before he fell unconscious."Take him to my Chambers immediately," I ordered the guard weakly, Katrina and Rosa followed behind them."Tyramon, Tyramon, Tryamon!" I called out angrily. I let out a scream, "Why did he call out to her? What is his relationship with her!" I said beating hard on my chest, I sat on the floor and wailed.I hadn't realized time had gone by, so I stood up and walked to my Chambers. When I got to my Chamber, I met Rosa and Katrina taking care of Aethelfrith."How is he doing?" I asked calmly"Crown prince Aethelfrith's health keeps deteriorating, what do we do now?" Katrina asked"I think we should call the physician, what do you think, Princess Crimson?" Rosa asked."Princess Crimson," Rosa tapped me on the shoulder."Hmm, what is it?" I asked, utter confusion written on my face."Didn't you hear what I had said earlier?" Rosa asked,

I asked Rosa."Not yet but give me time, Crown Princess Crimson," Rosa pleaded."Hmm, okay, two days," I nodded my head"Thank you so much Crown Princess Crimson," both Katrina and Rosa said in unison."I thought I said not to come in here again Crown Princess Crimson?" Azrael asked the moment I stepped my feets inside the underground dungeon."Azrae!" Katrina called out."How dare you speak to Crown Princess Crimson, the Crown princess of this Realm in that tone?" Rosa said before I could say anything."Kneel, now!" I said but Azrael stood firm looking at me."Are you deaf or something?" I took a step closer to him."I am only following the king's order," Azrael said, his voice unwavering and bold."Who am I?" I asked"The Crown princess of this Realm," Azrael answered, and I shaked my head."And soon to
