Finding Love

Chapter 20

King Henry(Regina's dad)

Evelyn poofs me to the entrance of Regina's castle. I sigh and shake my head wondering what I did wrong as a father figure. I tried so hard to balance my duties but Cora always seemed to be one step ahead of me.

She always managed to ruin our daughters fun and make it into a lesson. Regina loved riding horse but that was ruined when she was told by Cora she could no longer ride unless gracefully. Then there was Evi who just wanted a little freedom and to be outside more, she loved nature. But Cora I think was too worried she would be taken or seen. I'm not a violent man but sometimes Cora brought out my worst side.

I could've claimed Evi as my own and no one would've thought twice about it. I sometimes wonder what would've happened if we had done that.

I snap out of my thoughts as I walk down to Regina's bed chamber to stop and shake my head in disappointment. There on the ground was a couple guards with snapped necks. I thought she had finally snapped out of this line of dark magic.

"Regina? Sweetheart are you back?!" I yell walking faster towards her chambers.

"She's not back. It's a witch that has taken up resistance in the castle. For her majestys sake I suggest you leave before you end up like the soldiers you saw just now." Her magic mirror says popping up beside me on one of the wall mirrors.

"A witch? By any chance you're just calling her a witch because it's Cora?" I grumble in hope that it is her and I can finally be alone to have a chat with my wife.

"No such luck. This woman has green skin and is claiming to be Regina's sister. Another daughter of Cora's named Zelena. I highly recommend you leave at once. This woman wants vengeance on every woman connected to you." The mirror stressed which made me smile slightly.

"You pretend not to care but keep warning me about this person and her capabilities. I'd almost say you liked me." I tease him and steal a sword from a dead guard. He's not gonna use it any time soon.

"You aren't the worst company. You're kind to everyone and Regina loves you. I will do my best to distract her for you to sneak in and surprise her if you wish. Just be careful. Regina needs your heart to cast her curse if she ever changes her mind from going good." He laughs disappearing from that mirror.

I roll my eyes and pray to the Lord that Regina's mirror is useful for something other then spying on Snow White.

"And you're sure it's hers?" I hear a woman talk.

"Shrvidjjk!" An animal screeches as if it was talking to her.

"Excellent. You see the Queen may be Evil but I'm Wicked. And wicked always wins." She cackled. Ugh, definitely one of my wife's daughters alright. Zelena...zelena. Where have I heard that name before?

"Your majesty! Oh, who are you?" I hear the mirror ask the woman.

"Zelena. The Wicked witch from Oz. I'm also Regina's sister so you can trust me. Show me where Regina is right now."

"I'm sorry to disappoint you. But I don't just take someone's word for it. I need her majestys permission to give out such details. Besides, you don't look at all like Regina. You're Green."

"And you're racist. Besides we're only half sisters. The only thing we have in common is dark magic." So she doesn't know about Evi...good. that will come in handy.

"I doubt that's the only thing you both have in common. It's a pleasure to meet you, Zelena. I'm Henry, Regina's father." I say smiling kindly as I walk into the room still holding the sword. It's probably useless against her when she has magic anyway.
