Villains also get Second chance

"What do you mean?" look at the audacity of this man! On one side he profess his love for me and on the other side, he just did not stop calling me dumb.

There was a limit to everything.

"Instead of explaining it to him you are trying to console him. He needs to learn or this case will continue to repeat." so now he was blaming me too!

"You are completely being unreasonable here. He needed your assurance. In the end, he is just a kid." I replied matching his tone and attitude.

"He is going to be 12 this October, and it is already September from tomorrow, how is he a kid?" he shook his head, as if he was not going to be 12 but 20.

"Oh, then just by being 12, you expect him to be wise when you did not even give him enough time to teach the lessons of life and he never goes out and makes friends to learn from the real life experience. All he does is fencing, reading, painting and music. No matter how useful they are, he is not going to learn from them.'' Though the argument was fake as he wanted, my words were true. I have always seej Killian closed under the four walls.

Killian looked at me and then at him, as his anxiety rose. 

"Mother, father, would you please stop it. I did not mean to create another argument between both of you. I will not say anything again. I promise.." his words were full of uneasiness, he was fidgeting at his seat, when we both looked at each other and laughed together.

The boy just looked at us confused, and did not say a word.

"Did you see Killian, we both are not perfect and have flaws." he said as he held his shoulder and moved him on his lap.

"And we both fought like kids, and did not have that perfect relationship." I added as I moved closer to both of them and caressed Killian's cheek.

"We are not a perfect family, I am short tempered and a man full of pride and your mother is too stubborn and full of wrath." he replied though he looked at me apologetically, but i just nodded, that was what i was.

"But it does not mean that we did not love each other. That is the reason i even accept your father calling me dumb as an endearment." i added, rolling my eyes.

"It is endearing, my dear wife." he said, pinching my cheek, like i was a kid and then chuckled when i glared at him again.

"You would never see us professing love like other couples, but it did not mean we do not love each other." when i did not say anything he added on his own.

"Same way, we did not say 'i love you' to you every time we saw you, but it did not mean that we do not love you." Now it was my turn to assure the boy.

"You have to understand, son, you have to know that your family is the one who will always show you the right path. I have made this mistake in the past. I did what I wanted and did not listen to my father. I am still regretting it." The moment he spoke those words, his voice turned grave, my eyes moved instinctively to him from Killian. He had a complicated expression in his eyes.

Killian nodded his head as his face turned red with embarrassment, 

"I understand, father. I apologise for being insecure. But since you both love each other then why are you taking divorce. Mother did not want to slap you, father, she was just angry. I apologise from her side too.

Do not let a single mistake ruin our family." His words were full of pleading, care and emotions.

"Killian, we are not taking divorce. Your mother is just fond of theatres and drama. So, she wanted to act in one by herself." he said, shaking his head, but his voice was doting, as if he was a helpless husband in front of his wife.

"What does it mean, father. I did not like this drama. Can we please end it now?" this time he asked me with pleading eyes.

"I apologise, my son, but it will take a few more days. And there is a reason we are doing this. Have you seen the change in the behavior of your aunt. These are her real thoughts for us, she kept lying to you, and you fell into the trap of her caring words.

Same way many others believe that they are good people, but in reality they have committed many crimes. And we are trying to make their guard down. So that we can unravel their crimes. And I want to tell both of you that Prince Philip is also part of it."

"Have you confirmed it?" asked Cassius, his voice turning serious and I nodded.

"Yes, he is connected to Isabella, and even working under marquees Wiltshire. But I still did not understand why?" 

"Hmm, I will look into it, and try to ask Charles about him indirectly. He is still needed to inform that Philip shifted to your palace. 

By the way, when is your father coming back, I have not heard from him for the past two days." i blinked as he said this, he was the head, of course he should know.

"You did not get any letter from them?" my heartbeat stilled for a moment when he shook his head but then i took a deep breath. My father had a long life in the past, maybe a slight incident or some other problem would be there.

"I will send a few knights to look into the matter, you do not need to worry.'' I just nodded my head as I leaned into his shoulders. But no matter how much i try to remember my father never had any feud and he was a very cautious man to have any incident.
