Aharon's P.O.V

"What do you mean they are gone?" My hand thrusts through the table and the broken pieces  dash into more fragments as they hit the floor.
I've told Fiona on numerous occasions to stop buying stupid glass tables, wood would be just fine but knowing her, she'll replace this one with just another glass table.

"They-they are just gone my lord." Stupid Jonathan.

"Once, I miss breakfast just once and my carriers are gone Jonathan? What will happen if I'm gone for a week? Will I still have a kingdom to rule?"
I have a lot on my plate as it is and I shouldn't have to deal with a shaking Jonathan. Damn right he should be scared.

"I asked you a question and I expect you to answer."

"My-my lord, it was a mistake. A mistake that shall never be repeated."

My fingers curl around the table knife, I have to calm myself down.
This is what Natan wants, I'm sure he's out there watching me with binoculars and laughing his head off as I lose my shit.

"You're right, it won't. Kill everyone who was on duty, they are clearly not competent." I finalize calmly, the opposite of how I really am feeling on the inside.
If it was up to me, I would kill all of them slowly, right after they use their own hands to pull out each others' eyes and force them down their throats.
I don't deal with incompetent slackers.

"But my lord-"

"Are you questioning me Jonathan?"

"Not at all my lord, I shall decapitate them right at this moment."
He scurries away, tripping on air in the process.

"Jonathan," I call his name he immediately freezes. "Tell Lin to lead the search party looking for my carriers. And while you're at it, learn how to be a man from him." I dismiss him with a hand before he can say anything stupid.

I turn to Fiona who's cutting fruits with a table knife.

This shell of a woman never gets affected by anything I do unlike dressmaker.
If she hadn't escaped, she'd be sitting on that other table looking at me like I'm a rabid fox about to rip open every child's artery.

"If I find out that you had something to do with this or Natan escaping from the dungeons, I swear I'm gonna take that same knife you're using right now and skin you from head to toe then let you watch as I feed your fried skin to your boyfriend Natan."
I say every word threateningly slow and she pauses for a second before cutting the stupid fruits again.

Had the dressmaker been in her place, she'd gulp and blink several times while pretending to be strong but Fiona is a shell, we both are.

"Maybe one day when you finally stop screaming for the world to give you love and attention with your colourful clothes, you'll finally realise how good it feels to give and be given love Aharon." She stands from the table and straightens her dress with her hands.
"And oh, if you threaten me again, you'll be the one getting skinned because you know until you have that baby, which you probably won't by the way, we can kill you just. like. that." She snaps her fingers.

Her courtesy classes help her walk out the room like nothing just happened.

Apparently everyone has found their voices ever since dressmaker stepped foot in my castle.
