When the physician is about to go out, a maid run into the room and bowed down,"your Majesty" she said.
"What is the matter?" she open her palm,"your majesty, I found this in prince Ericson room when I was cleaning this morning"
The physician take the white powder that was in a container from her hand then smell it,"your majesty, this is the poison that cause what happened to your son body"
Everyone turn their gaze to prince Ericson,"do you believe I did it father?"
"What can I think, it was found in your room"
"Father, Rana love little Liam so much, he can do this by poisoning him"
"what are you saying, Princess Aurora, he try to kill my son by pretending to love him. Take him away and lock him"
Prince Ericson fall on his knees and hold the king leg,"please father, don't send me there" Princess Aurora join him in holding the king right leg,"please father trust Rana, he didn't poison little prince"
The guards hush in,"your majesty" they bowed.
"Take him away and lock him up" one of the Guard grab prince Ericson by the hand as he bite him, he shounted and let go of his hand while prince Ericson run back to hold the king leg.
"Take him away" the queen yelled out. Three guards came and grab the prince by force, he refused to let go but the strength of the men overpower his little strength and he let go. One of the guard carry him as he cry out,"I didn't do it"
Princess Aurora let go of his leg while tears fall from her eyes,"Rana didn't do it, someone had frame him, please father release him, he is your son"
The king igore her and leave the room. She knee before the queen,"please Mother, say the truth only you can save Rana"
Queen Zora laugh out which make Princess Aurora surprise,"what a naive girl, a step mother is always a step mother. Do you think I will let your brother take over the throne. That throne belong to my baby boy and I will do anything to give it to him."
Tears roll more from princess Aurora eyes,"please don't do this" she cry out. "He is also your son"
"Son! he is a son from my husband, not my son."
"Please save my brother, I will do anything for you"
"Anything! I can't do that, I want him out of my life, he is a threat to my son."
Princess Aurora bowed, stand up and walk to the door. She glance at the queen once more, tears roll down her cheek before leaving the room. She went back to her room and lock the door.
A maid enter Uma room,"Miss Uma" she yelled out.
"Lola, what happened?"
"Princess Aurora, refused to open the door, she lock herself in.
"what!!" She run out of her room to princess Aurora chamber but the king and his guards are there.
One of the guard is hitting the door,"open up, Princess Aurora" the king yelled.
"Your majesty" Uma bowed. "You're the only one she listens to, make her open the door"
"Yes, your majesty"
She walk to the the door while the guard give way and she kick it,"Kitana please open the door, your aunt Uma is here"
Princess Aurora walk to the door as tear escape from her eyes,"am sorry, aunt Uma, I won't open it. Tell father to release Rana then I will open the door"
"Don't do this, you will fall sick"
"I don't care if I die in here, the release of Rana is more important that my life"
"Don't say that please open the door"
The king is about to speak but someone touch his shoulder, he turn to see the queen, she shake her head,"don't give in to her demand. He may be a child but his mind is wicked, we need to protect our child from him. It will be a lesson to anyone who try to harm our child"
"Please open the door the king is worry about you"
"If he is worry then he should release my brother from there"
Uma turn to the king and shake her head.
"Let her be" he said and walk out while all the guards follow.
"Uma, you have work to do" she said.
"Yes, your highness" she replied then walk out of the scene.
Queen Zora walk to the door,"I know, you're hearing me, do whatever you want to do, the king won't listen to you. He listen to only me because I have his child. Tomorrow evening your brother will be executed. I will make sure that happen" she said then a small smirk leave her lips.
Princess Aurora on the other side, crying her heart out as she hold the wooden sword close to her chest.
