King kaizar paced up and down his Chambers in furry, ashamed to the weakness he displayed in front of a mere woman. He remembered how he quivered as he spoke and humiliation overwhelmed him again. He bellowed like a hungry beast ready to eliminate the vulnerable. His yell sent his knights into fright, and worry if they would live the next second or their lives would be used to pay the price for his shame.
"You are the greatest king, you own the kingdom and every breathing being, you can crush anyone you distaste, give your order my king" Alkamis said on his knees.
"She shamed me at the presence of that little brat!"
"How should we punish her my king?"
"I want the head of Rose, I want to taste her blood!"
"And so shall it be my king" Alkamis promised.
"Shut up! You weakling, you can't beat Rose"
Alkamis bowed his head ashamed. That minute, he was ready to prove himself worthy to the King no matter what it takes. He raised his head sharply as an idea hit his mind.
"My king, I know of a way we can make Rose pay for her disrespect to your honor"
Kaizar raised a questioning eyebrow "What are your plans Alkamis"
"The most brilliant I have ever thought" he said with a smirk.

Ever since you came back with her, she only said few words. Judging her silence, she wasn't so pleased with you, you don't need to be told her actions said it all. You know you disobeyed her but you only did what you thought was right. and you feel she sees you weak because of your failure, but a crowded defeat is not a defeat at all. Your lost wasn't your weakness, your weakness was the death of your mother, and what breaks you more was that, she was killed right in your presence and you couldn't do anything to stop it from happening. Your heart throbbed, you could feel your adrenaline surge. If you wanted to make one wish come true, it's to kill kaizar by your hands, with or without the widow's sword all you want is to see him die.
"You need to be fast with those, we won't spend the whole day in the woods" Rose said briskly
"You are mad at me, I know"
She glanced at you and took her eyes off.
"All I wanted was to free my mother ____ never knew he was the one who killed my father ...."
"And now you let your mother die too"
Tears formed in your eyes "my mission is changed now, I crave for vengeance"
It started as a chuckle, then slowly it turned to a mockery loud laugh.
"You think I can't kill him!?" You let a tear fall "I swear I will prove it to you"
"I believe you can son, if only you are ready"
"Then make me ready"
"I have tried"
"No you have not! Certainly keeping secrets is not helping neither"
"What do you mean?" She asked in a harsh tone. You should becareful in your speech to make them as polite as you can but you didn't care of the consequence that might follow.
"You never told me you are related to king kaizar!"
Rose looked away "because you never asked"
"Is he your husband?"
"No! ___ he was my late husband's brother"
You have never saw her spoken so weak before, you didn't want to hurt her so you kept calm.
"What happened to him?"
"He was the King, strong, powerful, the best swordsman the kingdom has ever had, and this man with such brave qualities had such a kind heart ____ very rare. Kaizar thought that his strength was because of the ancestral sword he hold, so jealousy made him hated his brother and wanted his position for himself. When I got pregnant everyone prayed I give birth to an heir for modriç, the King. And so it was, I gave brith to a boy, but I never saw him again..."
"Why ?"
"He got missing at the night of his celebration, two days after his birth. The king accused kaizar for his lost because he wanted to rule. days later my husband died of poison, kaizar resumed the throne and seized everything from me but what he wanted most was the sword. It was not given to him by his father, the late king, so he cannot inherit it. I couldn't be ruled by a traitor so I left my kingdom".
You felt bad, knowing how hard it has been for her all the years past. Kaizar has done so much wrong to many people and his own blood isn't an exception to his cruelty.
"He shouldn't go unpunished for all he has done" you said
"Yes, and I see you to be that warrior that will make him pay"
You smiled proud to hear that she believes in you after all.
**********
You and Rose went back home and the silence that existed seize to be. On your arrival you saw guests waiting outside, they were knights of king kaizar.
"What is this visit for?" Rose asked
"We are sent by the king to search your house, my queen" Alkamis said
"Why?"
"The book of damned is missing and you are the last visitor that knows where it is in the palace"
"How ridiculous! Kaizar have such guts to accuse me of theft!?"
"It is not an accusation yet my queen, we only wish to search"
"Very well then, you can go ahead but I won't let this allegation go unpunished"
"Yes my queen ___ you can search! " Alkamis ordered.
You and Rose led the way in. You watch them jumble your belongings up and down searching for something you have never seen before in the house.
They've searched almost all the place but found nothing, you smiled, that was it, even kaizar won't be free from Rose punishment, it was a false allegation. Your smile slowly turned to a frown when Alkamis brought an old giant book sealed forward.
"I'm sorry my queen, but I'm sure you can recognize the book of damned when you see it?"
"I didn't do this"
" No one knows where it is hidden except the royal bloods my queen"
"This was not my doing" she chuckled "kaizar is such a coward"
"You are under arrest my queen __ seize her"
"I dare you to lay a finger on me" she turned to Alkamis "so rude to seize a Queen Alkamis"
"I'm sorry"
"I will go with you" she said
"No! You didn't do it" you disagreed
"I'll go with them Arthur"
"Then I'm coming with you"
"No you don't..."
" He is coming with us my Queen"
She glared at him with great furry " fine".

****************
King kaizar sat on his throne, tapping his finger gently staring at the woman looking at him with fiery eyes, she was standing with less worry.
"You disappointed me Rose..."
" I won't have you disrespect me calling me by my name"
Kaizar chuckled "you have lost that honor when you stole the damned book. A forbidden act charged with death since the times of our father's"
"I didn't!"
" It was missing after your last visit and found in your house, how do you explain that?"
"This is planned by my enemies within"
"The law is the law it cannot be amended for anyone"
"So?"
"You know the punishment, it's death"
She smiled and nodded turned to you and then back to the King "I don't care, if only the law was really followed you wouldn't have been king"
"Speak no more or I will hasten your death" kaizar threatened
"I don't fear death"
"You can't kill her! She is innocent" you yelled
"You don't give orders to the King lad and who says you are free?''
"He is innocent! I will not go against the law but the law doesn't have it written to kill the innocent"
"Both you and your servant are guilty, imprison them!"
Rose drew a sword from one of the guards standing next to her. " You can kill me but let the lad go or we fight till death"
King kaizar stared at her and heaved out a sigh " okay, the boy lives ___ imprison her"
She knows they would come back for Arthur.
"Let her go! Let her go!!" You screamed behind the guards dragging Rose to the cell. They pushed you down on the floor and warned you to leave the palace. You wanted to talk with Rose but they won't let you to, so you waited till it's dark. The prison is where you have been before, the path to it isn't so difficult. You creeped stealthily on your toes but when you got to the familiar prison Rose was not there. You felt stupid thinking a Queen would be kept in the same cell with commoners. Then a servant girl passed you with a tray and you saw a guard stopped her,
"Food for Queen Rose" she said and was granted access to pass. You walked quickly to him even when you know how dangerous it will be if the king finds out you were seen in the palace.
"You are..." before the guard tried to say anything you knocked him down with his sword.
"You can lead the way lady" you said.
The servant girl nodded and move on.
You saw Rose, chained in both hands and feet but she wasn't tortured. "Master !" You called, she raised her head and was surprised to see you there
" I told you to leave"
"I can't, I can't let them kill you, I will get you out " you tried to break the gate in
"Stop Arthur" she ordered you "you can't change the rule"
" You didn't do it"
" Yes, but you can't prove your innocence by breaking out"
"I don't want you to die Rose"
"You have a beautiful destiny, I saw it in your eyes the first day i met you, you have to live to fulfil that destiny"
" I can't without you"
"Yes you can but you need another master to perfect your skills"
" I don't want any other master, I want you" you let your tears fall
"You will become unstoppable when your skills are perfect"
"I don't..."
"Listen to me Arthur, go to Geoffery, he will be your new master, take the sword with you but don't let him know you have it"
"I know no Geoffery"
"Travel north, at the end of the snow mountain you will find a small village, ask of him there. Go now Arthur but beware don't believe his words learn from it".......
