Peace Offering To The Cursed Prince

Everyone believes that manipulating the Oracle of truth was impossible but his priest was human and could be manipulated. He walked with his head held high into the king's study after making a plan in his head to share with the king.

"Your majesty," General Thompson bowed as he entered into the king's study. He lifted his head and his eyes widen as though they will fall out of their socket.

Sitting on the king's chair was none other than the Queen.

"Queen Marget," General Thompson whispered. He could not understand why the Queen was in the king's study and even sitting on his chair.

"How dare you seat on the king's chair?" General Thompson, question. His angry got the better of him that he immediately pulled out his knife but the Quern remains seated.

"This is sacrilege, " General Thompson roar pointing his knife at the Queen. Queen Marget had a beautiful smile on her face. She did not even seem affected by the General's anger.

"I would keep this a secret between us if you promise to save the life of my daughter," General Thompson said. He was so desperate to save the life of his daughter. He knew that the king might throw his idea away. Not all priests could be manipulated, Besides the Queen was involved and things could go north.

Queen Marget looked at General Thompson and continue smiling. If one were to look at her face the person make be lead to believe that General Thompson just said something nice to her. Her smile soon turned into a peal of laughter. General Thompson, was so outraged that he attracted her with the knife.

All his life people were scared of him. How could the queen his words as a joke? Her behavior made his blood boil.

He threw the knife straight at her hand to prove as evidence that she was seating on the throne. He planned to use the knife to pin her to the king's chair but Queen Marget was fast enough to move quickly and pushed the chair, making the knife land around the center of the chair which would have been her heart, if she did not move.

The Queen had very fast reflected. A lot of people have become used to her ladylike appearance that they forgot she was a good fight. A lot of people did not even believe in her strength after all the stories about her fighting along with the king in his youth, were all rumors.

"You know, General Thompson, I would have been willing to save your daughter's life if you were not pointing a knife at me." She paused.

"You see I am Queen Magret and no one threatens me," the Queen said. She frowns her eyes with boredom seeing that the General has not caught up with her statement.

"How dumb," she muttered. she really hated talking to people who could not follow her. When she first notice General Thompson she thought he could join her side but the fact that he threatened her made her angry. She was used to be the one that threatens not the other way round.

"Now not only is your daughter going to die but you will be joining her," Queen magret said and pulled out a small knife. Seeing her take this action General Thompson pulled out another knife.

The Queen attempted to attack him but paused. At this point, General Thompson had a knife against the Queen's throat. He had no plans to kill her. In his mind, the Queen was just a weak woman. How could she even think of attacking him? He smirks and was about to threaten her when the door to the study was pulled open.

The King accompanied by other members of the royal council step in. They were all shocked by the sight before them. General Thompson had a knife against the Queen's throat this action alone would cost his head.

General Thompson realized his mistake and let go of the Queen. "Fool," Quern magret whispered as he lets go of her. He felt sacred looking at the expression on the king's face. If it were to be another man standing in his position the king would have already ordered for his head to be cut off.

"Your Majesty," Queen Magret fell at the feet of the king. Her entire body was sweating as she snob at the feet of the king. She looked so frightened.

"what is going on here," king Rodrick asked.

"Your majesty," General Thompson tried to explain but the king paid him no attention. All eyes were on the sobbing Queen.

The King and the Nobel were shocked. Queen Marget was known to be strong-willed. never has she allowed herself to appear weak no matter the situation.

A helpless sigh left the king's lips as he helped the Queen up. Queen Magret pointed to the king's chair. A knife was seen at the heart of the chair.

General Thompson looked back at the chair, he could already guess that the situation may not end the way he thought.

"Your majesty the Queen was seated on your chair. This is like your throne a symbol of your authority" General Thompson spoke first afraid that the Queen will say something that will cost his head.

"so you decide to kill her?" one of the nobles asked not believing a word he just said. The plenty for such a crime was to be decided by the king. Everybody knew this.

"No, I was not trying to kill her but pin her to the chair as evidence since no one else saw her," General Thompson argued.

"But the knife stab tells a different story. You targeted a vital organ, which is the heart, or are you saying that her hand was somehow in that position," Another Nobel says, walking over to the chair and examining the knife on the chair.

"I… I… missed," General Thompson said, but he soon realized his words were stupid. How could he miss at such a close range of throwing a knife, he was a General and nobody would believe he indeed missed.

"Lair," three voices accused him.

"He is telling the truth," Queen Marget said.
