Chapter 19 Time to meet the king
Edwards pov :
When gave the order, The room became silent , My mother on the order hand have fainted twice and woke up again .
Without wasting much time in the court room, I Quickly stood up and left , Just then my sister walked up to me
" Nice one bro ,I really didn't think my brother will be getting married so soon "
" Tracy I hope you know listening into people conversation is a not good
"
" I wasn't listening to your conversation, I got the information from the right sources come on Edward your mother had just passed out and woke up again that's not fair Edward you should consider your mother's feels here "
" Get out of my face, If you don't have something important to say "
I was about to walk out on her when my mother came calling .
" Edward ,!! Edward why ,why would you do this to me Edward. Do you know what you have done "
" If not for one thing I would have asked my men to flog senses into your head "
" Edward you shouldn't speak to your mother like that in front of this commoners "
" Oh Really if only she was smart enough she wouldn't want to make decisions for the king , For Zeus sakes am a king and I can never take advice from a woman not an adulterous one for that matter "
" Edward how dare you speak to me like , How dare you "
" Say that one more time and I will have you tongue separated from your mouth "
At that point my anger knew no limit I was ready to take down anyone that once to stand on my way .
" Listen to me Edward no matter what happens I will never welcome that dirty commoner into this castle , She can never been my daughter in-law you hear me .
" I Never asked for you opinion, If you like accept her and if you don't like you don't accept her but one thing I know is that no one ,I repeat no one born of a woman will disrespect my wife and live to tell the story , You know mother I don't make empty threats , I hope you understand what am trying to say "
" I cause the day I gave birth to you Edward "
" And I caused the day I ever had to call you mother , You nothing but a shame and disgrace to the whole of Atlantis "
My sister who stood there watching everything had to come in .
" Okay guys enough ,Stop fight for
Zeus sake , Mother you are wrong why would you speak to a king like that ,In front of his guards , And besides it not by force to marry Benita she's not worthy of becoming the queen ,she's nothing but a who...re"
Before she could finish her statement a hot slap landed on her face .
" Shut your mouth and Besides who asked you to speak ,Go home and take care of your husband and son and stop talking nonsense "
" Mother you slapped me simply because I tried to talk you out on forcing my brother to marry a whore "
" Benita is not a whore , She's From a high class family , She is well trained and I know how parents bought her up well so stop cooking up stories "
" You know what mother, Suit yourself "
She turned to me with an angry face .
" Brother if marrying her will make you happy then please go ahead you have my support "
she turned to our mother .
" And as for you mother , Just continue trying to rule over everybody ,I can imagine what father had to pass through in your hands before he decided to marry another wife ,A time will come that everything you see here will no longer be yours to hold on too , Then, Just then I wonder how once a queen will become a commoner "
" You ..."
I just couldn't stand her anymore, I signalled Samuel to tell the guards to lock her in her room , Immediately they grabbed her she tried to free herself but couldn't .
" Let go off me am the queen you bastards , Edward tell them to let go off me "
" That's what you get when you decide to behave like a wild animal "
" Lock her up make sure, She lacks nothing but let her stay indoors for three days I think that will help her cool her brain "
" Edward you asking them to lock your mother up , simply because of some commoner "
" That commoner will be my wife and the queen of Atlantis and she will rule over you mother "
" That will be over my bead body '
" Oh it will be a pleasure to arrange for your funeral "
" Bastard you are nothing but a bastard , Remember this if the queen is not Benita then it's no one else "
" Tell me mother am so curious to know what business do you have with Benita "
" What ...do .you mean by that , Don't try to get into my head Edward it's Benita or no one else "
They dragged her away, I was about to heading back to my room when someone ran up to me .
" Edward ,Edward please am sorry don't do this to me the shame will be too much for me to bear please Edward "
It took me so much time to recognize the person kneeing in front of me .
" Benita , Just three days in prison you are already looking like a slave tell what's going to happen if I make you serve at my wedding "
" Please Edward please "
I Quickly called the guards to throw her out of castle , I simply don't want to waste another seconds with her , When I arrived at my chambers , Samuel was already waiting for me at the entrance .
" My Lord you sent for me "
" Yes I need you to pay a visit to the servants family tell them the king will like to have a word with their daughter "
" My Lord remember she doesn't know you as the king "
" I know and we can't continue to hide in the shadows for long "
" So it means you want her to know your Real identity "
" Yes Samuel ,it's time to meet the king "
