"Father, what happen this is not so you?" The first prince look at his father eye with criticizing gaze.

"Son, you should know when to accept defeat, not only we lost the respect of our people but they all look us down." The King still angry but calmly tell his family and shoulder the shame.

Kyrie and her companion watching this unfold have now repute of what the king said 'what a good king despite what he did and his actions' Kyrie's thought.

"Father, is the truth that you assassinated my sister? Your own daughter?" Leonila after hearing this while she is with Kyrie, tears building up in her eyes, she cant believe her family, a blood related family did a despicable thing, she knows how her father rules but she have no idea that her father and siblings instigated to kill their own blood... She have no idea of why, she have so many question but its the only words she squeeze out on her mouth.

The King look at his daughter without remorse or guilt he only look at her eyes, Leonila looking at the king without a single words coming from his mouth take it as confirmation, she falls to her knees and the tears building up her eyes finally letting go.

"Looks like you have some family dispute here and I have no intention to join this drama so as I already know what you called here for I have no intention to stay further and wanted to leave as soon as possible, all I can say is, you have no jurisdiction in "OUR" land so if possible and I will say this to your face, LEAVE US ALONE." Kyrie after clapping her hand grabbing the attentions of all the people inside speak out her mind and preparing to leave.

"You! Scrumptious brat." The second prince got annoyed of the attitude of Kyrie tried to scowl and grab his bastard sword again only to get halt by his father. "Father?"

"It's useless." He speak in a solemn voice and didnt say any further. His son tried to say something but he sees his father eyes calm yet powerful, he can feel the anger is building up but he trying to conceal it thats make the second prince didn't want to speak anymore, he already seen that eyes before.

"Ah, by the way before we leave, I like to mention something that will make you all fall into chaos." Kyrie look back straight to the king face unwaveringly on the glaring eyes of the king and drop a big information that shocks not only the castle people but also her most trusted knight.

She smile sweetly and innocently and grin from ear to ear "The princess is still alive."
