Henry stomps down the corridor, anger clear across his face and body, making people avoiding to cross his path. He is headed for Josh's study and he can only hope that the man is there.

He should've told Bella how he knows Alexander, before he got the chance to do so. But in all honesty, he didn't believe it had been that big of a deal. He did what he had to do to bring justice to two members of his Kingdom and he doesn't regret it.

Henry storms into Josh's study, the man looking over a map.

-"What happened?" - Josh can tell something's wrong.

-"We need to talk about your friend Alexander."

-"What did he do now?" - Josh sighs.

-"Alexander told Bella something that wasn't entirely truthful and because of that, she now doesn't want to have anything to do with me."

-"I was afraid something like this would happen." - Josh rubs his temples.

-"What do you mean?"

-"When Alexander wants something, he usually gets it, and right now Alexander wants Bella. I tried to steer him away from her. I tried to convince him that Bella had already agreed to be courted by you, not in so many words, but still... It's clear now that that didn't work."

-"You think?"

-"I will talk to Alexander. And Bella as well. Maybe I can help make things right between you two."

-"Don't bother. I will make sure Alexander knows I'm the wrong person to cross. I'm here only as a courtesy. Whatever happens next, just remember that Alexander brought it upon himself."

-"What are you going to do?"

-"Alexander believes I'm the Devil. I'll show him just how right he is."

-"Henry."

Henry walks away, leaving Josh in his chair, rubbing a hand across his face and thinking that this isn't going to end well. Although, it is about time that Alexander faces some consequences for his actions.

Despite all that, all that Josh can hope for now is that this won't end with anyone dead, which unfortunately is a high possibility given just how angry Henry is.
