I awoke to find him gone. Nothing could replace the empty feeling I had in my stomach. I didn't want to give my love away for nothing in return. I knew I couldn't love anyone at the moment but he ...well I like him.
It was now five minutes to six. Shit I sighed. Where the hell is she. So much for lady in waiting. I hurriedly got ready and left for the limousine park outside for me. I got in. The closed the door. The driver knew where I was headed I guess. He sped off as soon as the door was shut. We pull up outside the city square in less than two minutes. I see Nikola standing beside my uncle. Why is she here.

I get out and walked up to them.
"Nikola?" I spat.
"Its ok don't punish her..I sent for her" Faron spoke.
I nodded as we went inside.
Inside was crowded and full of people. The audience was angry I could tell from their tone of voice.
Shouts followed.
He must die

Bastard

Disgusting

Outrageous

Why were my people so angry?
What happened?

Suddenly a voice appeared in my mind.

"Judge he accordingly"

The voice was familiar. It was my mystery man .I smiled.

I walked up unto the platform.
The noise stopped. They noticed my presence. They bowed.
"Long live the queen!" They shouted.
"My people" I greeted.
Then sat.
Nikola was standing up front on the platform. She along with another man.
Uncle stood and took in my confused expression.
"People of Damon...These two here are bought here today to be judged in front of my queen" he stated "they have committed a crime in our country"
He walked up to Nikola and touched her.
"She allowed her daughter ..sixteen year old Nina to be raped by this man her lover for a fine" .
The crowd went wild. Outburst from the people came.

"Silence!!!!!" I said with power and authority.
Immediately they went silent.
"You shall wait until my uncle is finished!" I pointed at them.

I looked at Faron.
"Proceed"
He nodded.
" Shall Nikola speak?" He stared on her. Then on me.
"She shall" I ordered.

The crowd went wild again.
Traitor

Imbecile

Rapists

"I said silence"
The crowd only up roared more.
Kill him

Slit his throat

I stood up .Red in my eyes.
"I said silence" I shouted.

Immediately their attention turned to me on the platform.
"She shall speak and you all shall shut up..if I so much as hear you breathing down there I won't hesitate to slit your throats..are we clear? Nikola speak" I raged.
I sat back down.
Nikola stepped forward.

"I'm sorry my queen..I didn't know what else to do ...I love him and he just .....he didn't want me and so I gave him Nina.. And he paid me...and now Nina's is in the hospital" she sobbed.
I looked at her. Then to the man.
"Who's he?"
"Tobias...my spouse" she said.
I see.
He was handcuffed.
"Tobias?" I called.
"Yes..my Queen" he bowed.
"Did you commit such treacherous crimes?"
"Yes" with no emotion in his voice.

I smiled.
Then the voice came again
"Judge he accordingly"
I smiled.

"Tobias... You will be imprisoned...Nikola sent to immediate death" I rose from my seat and started walking off the podium.
"I'll take care of Nina from now on" I said.
"Long live the queen!!" Shouts went from the crowd.

I had to hurry to my breakfast date with max.
Time to clear up some things.
"Axle"
" What " I whispered back.
"Axle its my name"
"Ok" I whispered back.

I rushed to the limousine.
