Seeing this lady Vera was heartbroken,    "please,  my entire life will be ruined if words get out. How can I get married after this? lady Vera pleaded. she never thought a day will come when she will beg a guard like this.

"  will take responsibility for this and marry you," Brad finally said something.

"You..." Lady Vera pointed an accusing finger at him. "This is all your fault," she hit the man on his shoulder. 

"Ahh, what were you even doing in this room in the first place? Is this a room you can enter?" Lady Vera was so angry. How could she get married to a man of unknown origin?

"I can ask you the same thing? If I did not need a wife to fulfill my father's expectations I would not have offered," Brad said bluntly. He was not ready to get married yet. If not for the pressure from his parents he would not bother with Vera.

When Vera heard him, her face turned pale, never in her wildest dream will she think that someone would say those words to her. She was beautiful and intelligent. This was one of the reasons the late king had picked her to fulfill the marriage agreement he made with her father. 

Yet, some man who was not even good-looking had the boldness to propose marriage to her in such a manner. Her head spin.

"He false himself on me," Lady Vera immediately changed her mouth. Even if her future will be ruined, she will ensure that the man was stoned to death for raping her.

When the man heard her, he busted into a fit of laughter. "I force myself on you? How is that possible? Dear guard, you saw it yourself how she willing lend into my embrace. Will someone forced, do such a thing?" Brad rolled his eyes.

"Believe me, I was out of my mind, why on earth will I sleep with a man like him?" Lady Vera continues to cry. She knew that everyone will easily believe her when they saw her crying so much.

"You can cry all you want, but I did not force you, I am willing to take an oath that you accept willingly. In fact, you were the one that made the first move," Brad said he did not feel threatened at all.

"you... You... Who sent you?" Lady Vera believes that someone had set her up.

"What do you mean? This guard just said that this room belonged to the Queen. Do you think simply because you share some tears people will become blind that you had some evil intentions towards the Queen?" Brad said with confidence.

Once again lady Vera's body shook violently, " Let me tell you if you dare lie that I forced you, then I will say you paid me to rape the Queen, "  Brad threatened.

He was amazed at how the Queen was able to predict all lady Vera's reactions and provide him guidance. 

"you..." Vera lost her voice after saying the first word. She could not think that the man will say something like this. Meanwhile, Two was watching the two not knowing how to deal with the both of them. Usually, he was a man of war, but when it came to dealing with this type of situation he was at loss.

"ahh..."  Lady Vera shouted at the top of her voice, she could not have expected things to turn out like this.

When Queen Ellen heard the shout once more, she felt that Vera might enter into depression and kill herself. Ellen was not willing to feel guilty so she decided to send Rosa in.

"The Queen has asked that you two get dressed, also she will like you to give your family name so she can invite the head of your family over," Rosa said these words without expression.

At this point, Vera looked like someone that was about to lose her spirit but Rosa did not feel sorry for her. In her opinion, Vera brought this upon herself by trying to seduce the king.

When Eva heard this her head went blank. She felt like looking for a hole to hide her face. She did not want to face her parents but she knew that if she refused then the news might spread through the entire kingdom. 

"I am from the Carrero family," she replied in a small voice.

"I am from a slow family," Brad also answered. When Vera heard his family name she was surprised at first. After all, this family was well respected. But the family did not have a male child. Recently, the head of the family married his mistress in other for his son to enter the family.

How could this be? The sliow family has been looking for a suitable wife but most families rejected them because his mother is a lowly mistress. Moreover, the young man was known for spending most of his time in the inn.

His talent could not even be said to be average, lady Vera's head spin. How could she, a talented and beautiful lady end up like this. If the news gets out she will be done for. 

"Dress up," Rosa replied once more before walking out of the room. Brad did not say anything, he did not seem bothered at all. Instead, he got up and dressed up. 

Seeing this Vera also got up and started dressing up, she wanted to run out of the place before she face her parent's wrath. 

After putting on her gown, she walked fast towards the door, she was scared that Two of Brad will try to stop her. Unexpectedly none of them stop her. 

Just when she opened the door she heard the sarcastic voice of the hateful man. "Do you think that running away will solve the problem? Do you think the Royal family will not be able to find you after you run away?" Brad said as he finished arranging his clothes smoothly on his body. 

"I advise you use the mirror in other not to disappoint your parents so much," Brad said. 

Lady Vera stood awkwardly by the door for a short moment before she decided to take his advice. Her life was already ruined she did not want to embarrass herself more. 

Two looked at the two people and felt conflicted. One of them seems to have achieved a goal while the other was embarrassed. 

"What really happened?" Two wondered.
