''Flying''

''Don't Lie To Me!''

Bella reaches Henry's room and stops, taking a deep breath, her stomach turning with the idea that maybe Alexander was telling her the truth.

She knocks and Henry's valet opens the door, letting her in the room.

-"I need to speak with you. Alone." - Bella demands. Henry dismisses his valet.

-"What happened?" - Concern coats his words, thinking that something might've happened with her or Alexis.

-"How do you know Alexander?"

-"I know him as one of Josh's friends."

-"Don't lie to me!"

-"I'm not. Bella, what's going on?"

-"Do you perhaps know him from your own Court? Maybe when he came to you to ask why you executed his men?"

-"He told you."

-"It's true, then?" - She staggers back.

-"Let me explain."

-"There's nothing to explain. You executed men based on false charges and enjoyed it." - Bella was beyond appalled.

-"That isn't true. Please, Bella, let me explain."

-"No. You really had me fooled. You made me believe that there was more to you than your reputation but even that was a lie."

-"Don't say that. Please, don't say that. I have always been honest with you. If you would just let me explain, I'm sure you will understand."

-"I will never understand the execution of innocent men."

Bella storms out, her words still lingering.

Henry watches her leave, his anger beginning to rise. Her words keep replaying in his mind and in a fit of pure rage, he grabs a glass and throws it at a wall, the glass exploding on impact.

"He went too far.", Henry thinks to himself as he paces back and forth, already deciding that Alexander will be paying for this. Henry doesn't care if it will ruin his alliance with Josh, Alexander is going to wish that he has never crossed paths with Henry.
