Chapter 233: Legalities of the crown
"I...am...going....to...kill...you!" Roland thundered.
He lunged at Benjamin but the Lord mage pulled him back. If the man had no magic, he would have failed at that task because Roland was in a sinister mood. He had taken one look at his father’s pale body and listening to the recounting of events from the knights that had gone with the king and then rage had taken a hold of him.
The Lord mage pulled him all the way back to the side of the king’s sick bed. "Hold on, wait a moment."
Roland growled, raised his arm and elbowed the Lord mage on the nose. The Lord mage yelped in pain and the surprise caught him off guard that he ended up letting go of Roland.
The Lord mage’s nose was busted and bleeding. Not that anyone rushed back to his aid as they all looked on helplessly as Roland lunged at Benjamin aiming for his neck.
"Stop him." The Lord mage yelled.
The red knights looked the other way, they had no intention to stop the crown prince, he could do what they could not. Many of them had longed to give Prince Benjamin a beating but they were afraid of the consequences.
"Uncuff him." Roland ordered Sir Cornelius who was one of his white knights, the third in command of his army.
Princess Romilda strolled into the room, she was barking orders as if she was in charge, sending all of the knights out. She jabbed her finger at Roland’s chest, looking at him with an expression of authority in her eyes.
