MARKING AND ORIGIN OF POWER

Author's pov

''Don't hurt her'' ,her father's voice from their previous meeting was continuously roaming in his mind ,his mind was continuously muddled with plethora of thoughts ,towering up over each other ,overwhelming him .

She's his daughter , that man ....that.... wizard ,his mother.....her screams...her... death ,that ominous night ,all of these events were playing continuously in his head. 

He was only seeing red 

His mind was such a mess at the moment ,that if he would have stayed a little longer with her ,he knew he would have surely done something that he would have regretted later .

In the eyes of the people of his kingdom his mother died due to her deteriorating health , that was the lie his officials decided to feed to the commonalty ,

But the truth ,that shook the foundation of his faith was hidden in the walls of the castle , the servants in his castle the high ranked ones were all threatened with their life to not let the news of queen's assassination out as it would have raised questions and shaken the trust of the commonalty over his family's rule.

As the flashes of his mother's half opened eyes ,dry lips and pained expression flashed in front of his eyes ,he felt his throat getting heavy

She lived one horrible life ,despite ambroz and aurora being a symbol of the man she hated ,their father ,the man who forced her,she never ever let them feel unwanted ,unloved ,the woman who always expected him to become a good man ,the woman who raised him with teachings on how to treat a woman right ,how to create a balance between his personal and public life was snatched away from him in just one night , 

When he came back from his tour with his friends to a nearby kingdom ,the sun had not risen and the castle was eerily silent ,going in ,he went straight in search of his mother, going in her room,he saw the curtains moving slowly ,the cold air and the ominous silence grabbing him in a chokehold ,with his heart thudding loudly in his chest he moved towards the figure laying limp on the ground only to find his hunch come true ,

There she laid still ,unmoving ,pale ,drenched in her own blood ,

He checked her pulse but it was still ,

she was dead

slowly he slid closer to her and held her limp body in his arms and cried 

His wails shaking the walls of the room ,

soon ,maybe because of his wails his stepfather entered the room ,

On witnessing the scene he shakily dropped to his knees and mourned his wife's death

The shock and disbelief and unbearable pain and fear of separation surrounded him.

His tears fell on his mother's cheeks ,she was turning cold ,

Aurora was also sent away to manage some affairs ,they decided to hold the funeral after her arrival ,

The people were told about the queen's death ,the whole kingdom was sunk in grief ,mourning her death .

Remembering all the incidents ,tears flooded ambroz's eyes ,but this time the fire of vengeance shone in his eyes ,rage,raw and deep with a thirst for blood of the guilty shone in his eyes ,his veins popping out of his neck at the thought of the person who killed his mother .

flashback-

The night of  his mother's funeral  -

Ambroz stood alone in the quiet room, the weight of his grief pressing down on him like an unbearable burden. His mother's favorite chair, now empty, seemed to echo with the warmth and comfort she had always brought into his life. The soft, lingering scent of her perfume hung in the air, a bittersweet reminder of her presence.
