Chapter 20

Zedekiel sat in the biggest tallest chair. As he took his seat, everyone else also sat down. The chair by his right was meant for the Queen mother but she quickly pushed Ron in that direction.

"Sit there for tonight my dear. I want to sit next to my darling Ludiciel"

Ron paled. Sitting next to the King?! If Zedekiel hadn't blatantly displayed his hatred for him, he would have been happy to sit there but... he peeked at the King to find him already glaring.

He gulped. "Uh...m-mother...I uh, I don't think it's a really good idea. Th-"

"Nonsense! I order you to sit there!" She said. "Or do you want to deprive me of sitting with my second son?"

The poor prince paled even more. "N-No Mother. That's not what I meant...

"Good" she huffed then plopped on Ron's former seat, leaving the prince to sit next to the King.

What the hell was wrong with the Queen mother?!

Ron reluctantly plopped his ass in the chair. He could feel the King's heated gaze on him and he tried his best not to be affected.
