when the fireworks begin :Preston and Raven

E 10

Raven walked down the halls with Josephine. Her green eyes had such fire it scared the people to even gaze at her. Josephine put a thumbs up. Raven rubbed her belly. Audrey and Wyatt arrived sense this was a demonic matter. Wyatt thought Audrey looked amazing in this attire.
"Wyatt focus. " Audrey giggled nudging his shoulder .
"Sorry you just look  amazing but I will focus. " Wyatt promised kissing her cheek.  They brought the witch in and Audrey saw through her. Wyatt saw a lot of demons in that woman . She glared at raven and Asher and junior arrived . Allison stood with her husband Ryan. Ryan was a lawyer of the kingdom while Allison was an interpreter and a cross examiner.  She waved at raven. Raven waved hello with a smile.  Judah and hazel arrived with eliyaz and Gwendolyn.  Richard walked in promising his daughter he'd support Preston.  Him and Preston greeted each other and they were chatting. Aria arrived with a smile.
"Miss me?" She asked happy to be back . The nieces rushed to her and they hugged her. "Look at you girls. So proud . Boys where's my hug." The boys hugged her and junior Gave her a long one . She told him she was very proud of him. He thanked her and he saw her look at the king.
"So this is the highness of shirestone and who has married our raven. " Aria greeted with a bow. Preston kissed her hand and helped her up. "You are as handsome in person. But not as handsome as my Malcom or my blue. " Aria ranted and raven told Preston he'd get used to it.
"Auntie ." Raven scolded.
"Sorry you're right. " Aria whispered and she looked at the witch. "Shit mothers are my pet peeve. " Aria said.  Josephine was shy because Aria worked with her father before and she knew him .
"Knightress Aria ....." Josephine began and Aria saw her and she instantly knew who she was. "I am Josephine."
"You look like him. And quite tall like he was. " she said to the teenager.
"I hope so....I mean I want him to be proud. " Josephine whispered.
"Hakeem would be ." She promised and Josephine Gave her a hug and  a thank you.
....
The trial started and tay'vaughn and summer arrived with almonzo. Preston then began to talk.
"The order of the shirestone palace is the gem of this kingdom.  And I will not have it any other way . The cost of your years of dishonor has not caught up with you . " Preston then looked at his mother. "Will the defense and plaintiff please take action. " Preston sat and Judah noticed raven was looking at everyone in the room observing everyone. Ryan walked up with Allison who sat .
"My first witness rumi Eleanor Thorntom. Please come forward." Rumi arrived taking off her hood and she had everyone stare . She was definitely the center of attention as her father always was. She bowed to the king and sat .
"Good morning lady rumi."
"Good morning attorney Ryan. "
"How are you?"
"Very very well." Rumi said looking at ivy with a smile and aria chuckled.
"She took after me quite well." Aria whispered to Judah with pride.
"I can see that." Judah sighed.
"Tell me , at the night of the winter parade of the highness , what were your intentions?"
"Well if you should know I was trying to swindle the prince france . I got tired of singleness after all I am a second mooner . Meaning my mate was not fit for me so I deny him myself . And I waited 3 years sense then and I decided to go searching and the parade was my opportunity. " rumi answered honestly and Allison nodded to her husband.
"Later on the highness of Paddington had conversation with you and the prince what made you concerned for the queen getting a drink from the lady Maryland?"
"I love these questions darling. " rumi complimented.  Her Paddington accent was thick when she was excited and surprised.  "I was concerned because I don't trust that woman as far as I can throw her ."
"Any specific reason?"
"We will be here all day. These people need to go home." Rumi said. Making everyone laugh.
"Just one princess ." Ryan answered chuckling.
"Well the first offense was when she tried to harm the queen over dinner because of a simple disagreement. "  rumi answered . Ans Preston nodded.
"We're you aware there was posion in the cup?"
"No. If I didn't I wouldn't have drunk it. But I decided to drink it to be sure. And I couldn't be as sure as I was almost dead."  Rumi said making everyone gasp. No one told anything that happened. Gwendolyn stood .
"How did you recover?"
"France. " rumi answered blushing at sensing his presence.
"That'll be all." Ryan said sitting and ivys lawyer maze walked in. He looked at rumi and she stared at him with her eyes getting brighter.  That meant she was guarding herself and mind.
"It came to my attention that maybe you tried to swindle the prince to trap him?" He asked and rumi smirked.
"Yes." Rumi stated being blunt.
"You do not think that was treason against the alliance. "
"Of course not.  Did you plaintiff think it was treason when she captured  the King made his life a living hell! And to top it off to try and kill the heir to the throne by cursing the queen?" Rumi asked upset and junior quickly stood with aria next to the king and queen. "So tell me was I in treason or returning the fucking favor?" Rumi asked and maze saw her as untouchable for Ryan knew rumi played mind game's well enough to end the trial with only her testimony.
"Very well. That'll be all." Maze said sitting down and ivy stood.
"You traitor!!" She shouted teleporting to him and Allison stopped her with her mind.     Allison was born of the most powerful magic.  She hid it from the kingdom and Today was the first time besides her lover and parents had seen it.
"Step any further you'll turn into ashes. " Allison threatened. Ivy released a demon and Wyatt and Audrey fought it killing it.
"That's enough mother!" Preston shouted and raven held his hand. Ivy smirked and released 10 of them . Aria sighed.
"Tay'vaughn let's have fun."
"Hell yeah ."
"Mind if we join?" Junior and summer said  .
"Not at all. "  Judah fought with hazel as if they were 20 year's old.  Eliyaz shot two of them and he passed one to Gwendolyn she grabbed the bullet and put the cross pendant in it. She aimed effortlessly as the demons grabbed Preston and they were about to take his soul and raven shouted "STOP!" Ivy smirked looking at her ."I'll do what you want! Just don't hurt my Preston. " Raven replied and Richard shook.
"I like the sound of it. Give me my magic. "
"Not until you let everyone leave!" Raven demanded and ivy told everyone to go . Richard refused but raven promised it'll be fine . He left . Preston raven rumi and France were there.
"Where's my magic?"
"You just told the one that can give it back to leave  ." Rumi retorted. Allison arrived again with the source of her magic.
"I've blessed your magic  . Anything dark van kill you." Allison whispered releasing it to her. Ivy dodged it and it fell on rumi.  She felt powerful.
"Looks like it's my magic now." Rumi said and ivy was captured again.
