Dear Heart. Why Him?

Chapter 4

Day 2

~~~In the evening~~~
Isa pov -
So all day we all just wandered around the Castel. I observed that Kevin and Briana got even closer.
Suspicious but who cares.
Because I didn't see the King all day and I need to get this friendship going.
I still have no idea how I am going to act when his "parent" will get home. What do I do then?
At one point we got separated Kevin and Briana got who knows we're and it was just me and Liam.
Probably the most devoted guard of them two.
Hey that's the throne room, probably I can find the King here because last time I checked he wasn't. We get closer to the door and try to get in I can hear he's there.
He's voice is pretty audible
I scoff. I heard him ordering.
"In the tower with them"
As I enter to see what's going on, there a couple on the ground kneeling in front of the throne begging and crying for the king to spare them, and apologizing for what there did.
As the king acknowloge me he orders the guard to get them out from his face. And I reach for Liam that is on my left and whisper to him :
"Go and see what they did to deserve this. " And he goes after them out of the throne room, leaving just me and the king there. He starts to speak :
"May I ask, how is your staying, princess?" he asks with a vicious smile while looking at me and resting his head on his left hand.
"Good, thanks for asking." I say as I reconcentrate on him.
"Can I know the cause, why these people were sent to the tower?"
There are not so many people that are sent there, the tower from what I know is like a prison, but isolated by the kingdom and nobody is allowed to enter there, except those of higher status as the king and queen.
The king raid his eyebrows at my question.
"Well, he started while getting of the throne, they did some very bad things, and they need to support the consequences of there action." He explained to me,with each syllable getting closer to me. Being now 2 meters from me.
"I get that but what they did?"I say looking him in the eyes.
"Princess, I don't do the rules I just apply them to my people." He said getting more closer to me.
"Well you're the one that judge there fate in the future, I just want to know is you do it correctly." I stay strong and straight, but getting a step behind me.
But he's still intimidating.
He smirks, leaning towards my, and whit his left hand grabbing my chin gently with just 2 fingers and lifting it up tu his face.
" Don't worry, darling, your friend is not a monster, I judge as right as people can."He said that while smiling at me and not breaking eye contact.
I snap out of his grip.
"Darling?" I ask confused, he straighten up.
" Well friends aren't supposed to give each other nicknames?" he said still smiling.
Smiling like a idiot I think but just not an idiot. Make what you want with that.

" I suppose" I look through the room.
" But darling is not a nickname for friends." I remark.
He looks a moment at the doors and then in a second his face changes from full confidence in full confuse.
"It isn't?" He frowned.
