I kept staring at the king for a long time, unable to wrap my head around what had just happened.

The Crone returned to care for the King along with Elder Amara while Nina marched at me again, teeth gritting and eyes shining with hatred.

“What were you thinking when you jumped on the King like that?” She seethed.

“I didn’t jump on him,” I clarified, but she pretended to not even listen to me.

“How dare you try to meddle with medicines and herbs when you can’t even write on a scroll without falling asleep?”

Okay, so she was going to hold it against me forever.

“Look, the King is breathing and well, so I did the right thing,” I replied haughtily.

But she got even more pissed and wanted to say something in retaliation, but then Killian stepped beside me and looked from me to her.

“Is there a problem?” He asked Nina, who immediately schooled her features into one of mild frustration and shook her head.

“None at all”

Then she turned around and returned to hover around the Crone and Elder Amara, trying to look important.

I ignored her and the anger bubbling inside of me because of her and stared at the King for long. That black hand vanished into thin air.

I tried to take another step, but I swayed a little and Killian caught me before I would fall onto a nearby wall.

“And you said I should rest. Good thing that I came along,” He said, still trying to prove his point.

“Yeah, yeah. I get it. You were right”

I said, though he could sense my frustration.

“What happened? Are you alright?” Killian cupped my face, and a person I had forgotten was in the room with us clapped his hands loudly.

“Oh, for the sake of the almighty King, save your public display of affection for your bedroom. The King is battling for his life here.”

Martin said loudly and before I knew the words had tumbled out of my mouth.

“Yes, such a doting son who is hogging down on food and drinks right by his ailing father’s bed while squeezing the maid’s butt.”

My words rang out through the room, and for a second everybody went eerily silent. All the heads turned to look at me, and I realized I had said it with much more anger than I meant to.

But I didn’t care.

These people were all hopeless, and I could not help but wonder how Killian could be so nice and selfless while surrounded by such vile and corrupt people.

Martin threw the goblet on the floor, and it clattered against the marble, making my teeth chatter.

“How dare you talk to me like that, you witch? Just because my little brother cant stop staring at you like a love struck puppy, it does not mean you can talk to the King in such a way.”

His nostrils flared, and I shot back.

“Yeah, you consider yourself the King already. But maybe before you try to become one, learn to save your people first instead of running inside the castle and leaving your little brother to tackle a threat.”

“Guards!! Arrest her!” Martin shouted and Loyd looked from him to Killian who stepped between us immediately.

“Let us not take decisions in haste, brother. The King is doing fine so we should

celebrate instead of starting a fight.”

Killian raised his hands in the air as if to put some sense into his elder brother.

“Then tell your fucking sex slave to mind her tongue because if she cant keep her mouth shut I will ensure she gets thrown into the dungeons for disrespecting the crown’s heir.”

Oh, so now he realized his mistake and was back to calling himself a heir instead of the King himself.

To be honest, hearing sex slave from his mouth did not even offend me because that is what he viewed women as.

To him, they were just objects of pleasure without a soul or life.

No wonder he thought every woman liked to be treated that way.

But this time it was not me but Killian who spoke to him.

“You can take the liberty of calling me anything you wish but I suggest you be careful with the words you choose to describe Valencia. Maybe you are forgetting that she has the witch’s mark so it is only a matter of time before she awakens her magic. And when she does, you dont want to be on her wrong side.”

He said it in a cool voice but I could hear the direct threat and blatant warning in

his words.

Martin seemed to sense it too for he only waved his hand to dismiss us off like we were wasting his time.

“I suggest you take the discussion outside the room as we wish the King to get adequate rest.”

The Crone cut in, not in a demanding tone but her sharp tone was nothing short of an order disguised as a polite request.

“I have no time to waste on trivial matters. I would rather like to spend my time working with the courtiers on the pending matters so that father can rest peacefully instead of bothering about work.”

He dusted his hands and gave us a smug look, but when Killian was still glaring at him, Martin sneaked out of the room like a scared cat.

We were barely out of the room when I let go of Killian’s hand, who was leading
