Chris was seated on his throne at the main hall when Mrs. Lee was brought inside by the guards, along with the beaten and chained up Mark who stood infront of him with their heads lowered. Chris tried not to feel empathy towards Felix's mother who looked tired and sad, as if she hadn't slept for days with her messed up hair and swollen eyes. So, he diverted his attention to Mark who looked like he would collapse any second, giving Chris nothing but pleasure at the sight.

Minho who was standing beside Chris stepped forward to address them, "The two of you have conspired against the King by trying to take away his Queen on their wedding night, what do you have to say for yourselves?", he questioned them, but got silence and only the sounds of sniffles coming from Mrs. Lee. "Your majesty, I'm not sorry for what I did for my son. And I would do it again in a heartbeat!", Mrs. Lee stated before raising her head and glaring at Chris with anger and rage. 

Chris leaned forward from his chair in awe while Minho widened his eyes at her in astonishment, "Mrs. Lee, you dare speak to the King like that?", Minho asked her as she spat her spit on the ground while still looking at Chris who smirked at her. "Like mother like son I see", Chris suddenly said, while Minho faced the King in bewilderment, "Your majesty what do we do?", he asked Chris who was in thought for a moment before standing up and facing the prisoners before him.

"Mrs. Lee, just because you are my in law, I will let this go just this once, but, as punishment, you are to never set foot in this castle ever again, unless I say so. And take your dog with you. If I see or hear that you two even came near my castle, I will behead the both of you infront of the entire nation, UNDERTOOD?", he growled out at them, causing Mark to quickly nod while Mrs Lee started sobbing out loud.

Minho called for the guards when Mrs. Lee suddenly ran up to Chris and knelt before his feet with her head lowered, causing Minho and Changbin to quickly draw out their swords while Chris raised his hand up gesturing them to halt as he looked down at her. "Your majesty, Chris, I treated you like my son, I always welcomed you in my home, even though I was risking my life in case your father found out, but I still let you in because of how my Felix felt about you......

"he loved you, and I know you know that because, I saw the love in your eyes as well. what happened to you, what change you to be this monster I don't recognize today. my poor boy doesn't deserve this treatment. he is a good boy, why are you doing this to him, you can have any woman or any man you want, but why him. I thought.....i thought you loved him. what did he do to make you act this way?", she asked in tears while Chris angrily began to breath heavily before shouting out, "ASK THEM!".

Mrs. Lee instantly looked up at Chris in bewilderment, not understanding what he was talking about. Chris crouched down at her level and looked straight at her confused eyes, "You heard me, ask Felix and that piece of trash over there", he growled out pointing at Mark who quickly raised his head in puzzlement. Mrs. Lee looked back at Mark in utter confusion, "Mark, what is he talking about?", she asked Mark who was in deep thought trying to think, but nothing coming into mind.

Chris rolled his eyes before standing up, while Mrs. Lee was still looking back at Mark. "Mark, tell me the truth, did you and Felix....", but Mark quickly cut her off as he widened his eyes before facing her and Chris, "Your majesty, Mrs. Lee, I would never, me and Felix are just best friends we would never...", he tried explaining himself while Chris scoffed at his words. 

"Of course you going to deny it, and you Mrs. Lee, stop with your crocodile tears, you knew everything that happened under your roof since you were very close with Felix. You say you treated me like a son, and yet I was a fool to believe it. TAKE THEM AWAY!", Chris ordered, as the guards came in and took the still confused Mark and the wailing Mrs. Lee away who wouldn't stop crying, "Please Chris, Please your majesty, listen to Felix's side, whatever is was, he wouldn't hurt you like that....PLEASEEE!!!"....she screamed until the doors closed shut.

Chris exhaled out sharply before taking his seat back on his throne while rubbing his temples with his thumbs. "What's on the agenda?", he suddenly asked Minho who faced him, "Breakfast with the Queens your majesty", he replied, causing Chris to grit his teeth at the thought, "Ugh....fine. Tell the Chef to bring breakfast up to Felix's chambers, he...uhm...won't be joining us this morning", he said, making Minho signal Changbin to go tell the chef, so he can leave the two alone.

Once Changbin had left, Minho took a deep breath before facing Chris who was still rubbing his temples. "Chris, look...", Chris raised up his hand cutting him off. "I know what you want to say Minho, just stop, I have a headache and I don't need one from you as well", he told him, while Minho lowered his head before clearing his throat, "All I wanted to say is that there are two sides to a story, that's all", he nervously mumbled, but enough for Chris to hear who gave Minho a scowl look before standing up and heading out of the hall.
