“There is a problem my king”The guard bowed and Veal could tell with the look on his face that it is a big problem.
In shock, Veal stood up and walk closer to the guard who bowed immediately when Veal get to him.
“What happened?”He asked.
“There is a rumor that villagers are spreading, that you are murderer because you tried to ki|| a guard”He reported as he bow his head.
Veal understand immediately that it is what happened yesterday and he smirked when he find out how you can find a way to ease the tension.
“You can go”He ordered.
“Why are you smiling? This is a terrible situation! We have to find a way to reduce their anger”Amelia snapped.
“You are so worried about me? That is interesting tho”He smiled.
“This is not about interesting Veal!!”She yelled.
“I still remember the day you said you can’t disobey the gods by calling me by my name without adding King”Veal winked.
“What are you saying? I did not understand your language! Go and have your bath”She snapped and Veal smiled.
“Can you help me scrub my body”He asked with a smile and Amelia move back sign a frown.
“What… Are… You…. Saying”She said, stammering which make Veal burst into laughter.
“Are you sacred? C’mon, you know I joke slot, I was just joking so, you don’t have to be worried”Veal said and pat her back.
“I have disinfect your pool before you wake up, I will go and choose your dress for today”Amelia roll her eyes and started walking to his closet.
Veal walk to his pool and do the needful, he wore his cloth and the guards escort him to his palace.
He entered forcing a smile.
“My king there is a….”
“I know”He snapped in his usual anger voice and the guard approaching him move away in fear.
“Get my horse ready, we are going to the market and around the village now”He ordered and one of the guard left to get the mission completed.
“Go and tell lady Sadie to get ten basket of fruits vegetables, flowers, clothes, drinks and jewelries ready”He said to another one and he also left to do what get what the king asked for.
“Queen Ebbe is here”The guard at the entrance of the palace announced and Veal smirked, he know the fact that what is wrong with him is not normal and he plan to meet Eduardo after settling the villagers issue.
“My king”Ebbe bowed and she was stunned when Veal stood up from his throne and bow for her too.
“My king this is my right”Ebbe laughed awkwardly.
“It is also wrong for you to cast a spell on me”He scoffed, not enough for Veal to hear her.
“I can’t hear you, my king?”Ebbe smiled and Veal sit on his throne with a smirk, he can’t smile no matter how he tried.
“Why are you here Queen Ebbe?”Veal questioned.
“It is no other reason than the rumors going on in the village, most of the villagers are throwing fist right now and I even heard that the guard run away, I think you should catch the guard and deal with him, he tried to spoil the good reputation you have been building”Ebbe fame tears and Veal stood up from his throne and started walking toward her.
“I understand your feelings Queen Ebbe…. But, don’t you think my enemies are just too crazy for them to think they can k*ll me? Isn’t that too crazy? What I’m very sure of is that I will not d*e and I will spend hundred of years on my throne”He whispered into Ebbe’s ear and she gulp down nothing.
“I understand my king… I just came to check on you”She replied with a smile and eventually walk away thinking about why Veal acted that way.
Did he find out she poison his food? That mean he doesn’t trust me? I thought everyone think I’m a good person coz I did but use to act loco like Zuriel, what is up with that boy’Ebve thought as she find her way tobgsd chamber.

Even though, it is just a normal day the market is full of plenty people and they are discussing about what happened in the palace.
“You haven’t heard that the king who is suppose to be protecting us tried to ki|| his guard yesterday?”A woman asked her friend.
“I knew it, he is just like his grandfather, ak stubborn and stupid. I wonder what makes me think he will rule as a good king, Thea’s blood still show in him”Her friend replied.

“I’m here to give you all gifts, if you are in need of it, meet my guards and get yours”He replied.
“Can you smile to make us believe you did not add strange thing to it”Brielle voice was heard and the villager started screaming for him to smile.
“I promise to smile when you get the gift”He replied.
“Why do you want us to trust you?”Brielle smiled and bowed.
“How do you expect me to be happy when my villagers are not happy? I can only smile when I see a beautiful smile on their pretty face”He replied, secretly glaring at Brielle who release a smile.
