Thorwen Kingdom : [ Dark forest ]

' Run ! Run ! Run ! '

The young lady panted while running over the wet leaves of the dark forest. There was not a single ray of the full moon which brightly shine in the bluish sky. Her royal dress was no longer that shiny , her chicks was wet from the tears that fall continuously. She still can't believe that her fate plays with her like that . Even tomorrow till now she was enjoying her life with his King and her children but now she was running for her life like a mouse run from a cat.

' W-why Mother ? why we are running like this ? who are they Mother ? what they will do to us Mother ?'

Her seven year old son attacked her with these questions. His curiosity never dimmed , he was young and unknown to the world's cruelty .The lady didn't bother to answer her son.

He was panting too. His feet didn't stop hitting the ground until they found a hedge to hide. The lady lead her son in the hedge and motioned him to shut his mouth. Her other chilld who was sleeping in her arm suddenly wake up and started crying she put her one hand against her mouth roughly . She was sobbing hard.

'Oh!  Almighty God please save us from this danger 'The prayers were nearly a whisper.

' I ask thee to aid us from this misery '

Her daughter chocked in her hand and gaspped , she removed her hand and her daughter's shrill voice echoed through the forest.

Suddenly a arrow came from the dark ripping all the air and hit her son in the back.

' Mother! ' her young son cried out loud.

She was freeze from the shock for a second . Then her hand hold her son's body in the amazement.

Mouth opened, eyes wide tears fall from her eyes was enough to deluge the whole kingdom.

Her daughter's voice echoed through out the forest. she knew that the death was not far apart from her and her daughter because she can heard the death's footsteps on the forest leaves. she watched her son's end in front of her eyes she was not going to endangered her daughter's life . She put her hands once more on her daughter's mouth and took her steps backwards towards the deepest area of the forest while watching her beautiful son's body fallen over the cold leaves of the wood.

She cleaned her checks with her free hand and disappeared in the dark forest of Thorwen Kingdom .

The soldiers couldn't found the Queen and her daughter but soon found the body of the young prince and carried him to the palace with them.

Thorwen Kingdom [ The palace ]

'What you failed to find them !?'

The old soldiers faces the wrath of their new Queen. Her anger was visible in her eyes. When the weather was chilling they feel rush in their blood just by the thought that what the Queen can do to them.

' That's ridiculous' She yelled.
' you failed or should I say planned ,you all love your old Queen don't you ?'
There was huge amount of things to love the old Queen . She was kind , humorous ,caring and always treated her subjects as her own child.

The king who was silent till now stood in a glorious manner ...' that's enough my dear let them...'

'But King they are planning against us'
the Queen cut off the King.

Priyam looked at her with his wild eyes aggression was visible. He motioned his hand at her to shut her mouth ' I said that's enough' this time with more gravity in his voice.

She set in her seat , frustrated.

' You could do anything you want but remember at the end of the day I'm your new King. Priyam Dakshit is your new King'

He literally yelled those words towards the frightened soldiers. They knew what can he do , they have watched him how hard-heartedly he killed their beloved King Delan and scattered his family like a house made of cards. They could have been protect their King if it was not a perfectly planned conspiracy against the Royal family. He and his wife moved like a serpent and inject their venom before anyone can recognized their true faces.

'privacy' Priyam yelled and motioned with his hand as the soldiers left the huge and warm room which was used to belonge to King Delan till tomorrow.

'conspiracy' the Queen uttered while her little wrinkled skin of her forehead twitch in thoughtfulness. Rosaline always gives importance to the little things while Priyam always sees the big picture. That's why she is a skilled machinator.

'Relaxed dear  you are a Queen now. you don't have to think that much just let it be. That helpless woman and her daughter can't harmed us a little bit anyway' Priyan declared with lot of confidence in his voice.

'But we should never underestimate someone dear' she warned her King.

'I know , I know we will proceed further in this matter later '

'Mother !' a six year old boy shouted and ran towards the Queen. That was the new prince of the region.

'Antonio' she called her son 'come here son' Antonio took his place in her mother's lap and grinned at her mother.

Soon Priyam found two eyes which were staring at him . That belong to his mother.

'Mother.. Mother ..Oh! Mother welcome to your son's new room' he stretch his huge arms and spin dramatically looking toward the ceiling . Then he faced his mother's questioning orbs
' I know mother your son made you proud today ...very proud'

'Not a little bit Son' his mother said with a shaky voice .

'Why Mother ? the king of Thorwen Kingdom is your own Son Mother its not a matter of proudness to you ? Even Father would have been feel proud this very day' Priyam said with a sad tone.

' I'm glad that your father passed away before watching his Son's conspiracy'

The Queen shoot a evil look towards her mother-in-law .

'I would have feel proud if you gained this kingdom by your ability Son not by tricks' she continued ' God is the ultimate judge Son and I'll pray for your good' she sighs.

Those words left Priyam wordless.

' Dear mother its not for our purpose its for Antonio. Just think mother your little Antonio will be a king one day' the Queen stated. Her words filled with optimism.

'I fear that when Antonio will find out about his parent's conspiracy he will regret about being a King'

There was a moment of silence between them.

At some point they both feared the future.

'Fate will decide all's future' Priyam's mother declared.
