The Monarch

The Last Straw

A: Okay! Before you read this, you must know a little history I failed to mention in the Summary.

So, Alek was once comforting Bridgette by holding her at night in her bed so she could sleep, because she thought Timber was in her room. (He ended up actually being in her room).

The second, is when he was comforting her again when they first came back to Alcor. When he pulled her through the portal? Yeah he slept with her then too.
But nothing happened in the bed keep that in mind!
Ya sinners.

There is another knock at the king's door.

The servant opens it, the king glancing up before looking back to his work. "Yes, what is it?"

"Just curious to how it went today." Timber walks in.

"It went as expected, if anything better, when it comes to Alek. However, Bridgette denied the claims, although they were verified." The king says with a sigh.

"I hope this means you trust me a bit more." He smiles and sits down. "I apologize for the disappointment."

"I still stand by what I said. I'm not sure yet if I want her gone. My sons would never let it go. I'll leave the choice to Alek. As future king it would give him the opportunity to seek the truth and make tough decisions."

His smile twitches and he nods "I understand your decision... sire.... but if Bridgette is controlling him of course he won't let her leave... not only that but I have gained some new information earlier today that you might find..." he stands up "... Useful..."

"Speak, I'm growing tired of this." The king says, signing a few papers.

"Okay. Your son slept with Bridgette. Twice." Timber says casually.

The king hears this and immediately stands, his hands slamming on the table. "He did WHAT?!"

"Slept with Bridgette. I'm not saying it's his fault... I'm just giving you the facts. Don't shoot the messenger." He looks at his nails and smirks a bit.

The king points his finger at Timber. He then shakes his head. "No! I will not stand for this. I'll make the decision before tomorrow morning."

Timber bows formally and leaves the room "Thank you my Lord. It was a pleasure speaking with you." He shuts the door and leaves.

L: (AHHHHHHHH)

A: (I TOLD YOU HE KNOWS WHATS UP)

"ALEKAR! GET OVER HERE NOW!" The king shouted, causing Alek to jump up, the mention of his full name shocking him. It wasn't often used.

Alek curses under his breath, usually liking to know what he's done before meeting with his father. He went into his father's office. "WHAT IN THE WORLD POSSESSED YOU TO BE SO THOUGHTLESS?!"

Alek had only gone a few steps into the office,"Sir, I-" Alek tried but was cut off as the king marched up to him, slapping him, not feeling any remorse for hitting his son. "You are an idiotic, irresponsible, pathetic excuse for an heir! I mean HOW DARE YOU! SLEEPING WITH A COMMONER?!"

A: (B-BUT DARWIN YOUR MOMENT AND AHHHH)

Timber listens and smiles wide.

L: (NOOOOOOOOO)

Alek moves away, his back hitting the door. "Sir please I never-"

He is hit again. "ENOUGH! I have been told so by a source that I trust! I'm NOT going to listen to any more lies!"

Alek tries to speak up.

"Enough! You're banned from seeing anything of that girl! You're lucky I don't have her beheaded!"

Alek looked terrified. "Father please don't-"

Darwin takes Alek by the collar. "The first thing tomorrow I'm sending that girl off to Castoria where she could ROT for all I care!"

Alek shook his head, hands pleading. "Father stop t-"

Darwin shoves him through the doorway. "ENOUGH!" He shouts as he slams the door shut.

Alek looks to his feet, pounding on the door. "Father you don't understand! I won't let you!"

Timber smiles and chuckles low to himself before going to the garden and laughing.

Alek's eyes widen. He shakes his head. "I won't let you!"

Alek runs to the guard barracks, looking for one person in particular.

Then, he sets to work.
