We had separated with Armani, he promised to serve me so he better does,

When I got to my shelter the queen was there, before I could greet, she gives me a hot hard clout that sent me to the ground, In the process I had bitten my own tongue.

I cursed under my breath,

''so, you ready to tell me what you hiding from me?'' I've seen many sides of my mom, well hopefully, but this side of her was foreign, she never hits my face, this will do a number on me and it will never go unnoticed to my next training.

I have had a lot of beating today in training, but I doubt the news that I made it to the next level will change how her eyes show anger towards me, if looks could kill, I would become history today, 'princess who had had shown no power to her people but her queen killed her as if she was never her offspring.'

Well, I would rest in piece as long there are no lies in those rumours,

''I demand an answer now!!!'' she roared.

I slowly stood up' I could not help to role my eyes in boredom,

''will you come down, I will tell you than geez,'' I said. She was about to give me another hot slap but I cowered and shielded my face, I think the queen has lost it, we no difference after all.

But she never laid a hand on me I guess she thought twice,

''talk,'' she commanded again,

''honestly, I have no idea how it started, but all I remember is committing a suicide by the water fall, of which I did drown, I can't swim so I was certain about the death will prevail, but before my eyes involuntarily closed, I had seen a snake in the water, coming at me very fast, surrounding me, blue or grey like I am not sure, the next thing I was opening my eyes, by the shore, alive, close to the forest, than I walked till I was right up of the water fall again, questioning my survival, than it started to pour acid rain, causing the water fall to boil and it suddenly became hot than I ran when I saw the leaf trees start to burn to ashes, and as you can see next to my eye I still have the mark of being burned.'' I explained.

She sighed, she said nothing but her pupils seem to move left right quite fast, she seemed to be deep in thoughts than she looked up to me,

''why would you want to kill yourself,'' her voice going soft on me, instead of being happy that she cares,

I scoffed,

''seriously, worried about the tittle that much, get another baby,'' I said angrily.She never asked and I do not want her to ask again like that, because it is not her thing, surely, she pretending, I hope she began the presentence rather sooner, I was hungry but I could see the meet next to my mat so I went to sit on it, and I starting biting into it.

''whatever,'' she said instantly that shocked me as my mouth was agape, so was really pretending, bloody queen!!

''tomorrow I will talk to the elders about your point of view, get some rest and do not go to training, or visit Kane, Kane is not allowed here too, meaning you will stay here until I see fit for you to go out.'' She said and it sure does sound like punishment and I will gladly accept I am tired anyway, besides in next level I want to be fresh and well prepared.

''fine.'' Was the last thing I said before silence hoovered over our heads.

***

KANE'S POINT OF VIEW:

I had avoided training, still stunned that the friendship is over between me and my princess. I care but I also had pride, sooner I will take my father's place and Patina will obviously take her mother's place, the worst of it, I will be reporting and communicating with her in terms of the village affairs, I hope she does not allow our indifferences get in the way of what is important.

My mother had been quiet, avoiding to look at me as well,

''mama what is going on?'' I decided to ask,

She was about to answer when father joined us in the shelter,

''are you really going to tell him'' my father scoffed,

''father, mother is pregnant and beating her is not right,'' I said trying to keep my anger at bay,

''I will beat her today until she loses the kid,'' he said.

''than, I have no choice but to report you to the queen, no in fact if you do not tell me what caused the fight I will tell, I bet you would not lie to the queen,'' I dared and I knew that this confidence will endanger me afterwards,

Before my father charged towards me with an angry Face and I ready to speed for the exit,

''the child is not of your father,'' my mom confessed causing me and my dad to halt. Which confused me,

''huh?'' I asked my voice dropping low, my glare was of begging that what she just said was something I did not hear correctly.

''the-the-child is not of your father, Kane, the-the child belongs to the late king.'' She confessed, teary, and she looked down. Surely, she was ashamed, I was ashamed!

''wait, you cheated on papa,'' I asked, she just nodded. I looked at my father and scoffed.

''you wanted to know, so here go.'' He said before storming out.

I don't understand, how-how, I mean why?
