The Royal Revenge

"Wife, the reason I have asked you to stay in the shared bedchamber is because this room is enchanted to protect the king and queen, or any couple at that who would enter it," he said. "The balcony may be open, but not a single soul may enter it as long as we are inside these walls."

Elys was still skeptical, "And then how would you explain the fact that Lady Catalina was able to throw blades at us that first night at the balcony? Was Lady Catalina that powerful to break the enchantment?"

Aleksander raised his hands at level with his chest, "Woah, okay slow down. Lady Catalina was able to do that due to a glitch in the enchantment. It would only activate once the two of us are inside the room, not outside. The balconies are considered outside the rooms."

His wife’s expression was made of a lot of mixtures. She grumbled, her eyebrows shooting up the skies with how high she could raise it.

"I agreed to this because you looked like you were terrified to death to leave me alone in my own room, but now what do we have here?" she asked him while she waved her hands around the room. "I don’t think holding hands would be enough to keep me safe, Aleksander."

The young king cleared his throat, "I’m sorry to have disappointed you on that. But like I said, you are protected as long as we are together here. I may have fallen asleep, but that was because I knew we were safe already."

"Yeah, tell that to your friend," Elys sassed.

Aleksander scratched his head, "I am telling it to my friend. Elys, you are the friend."

The young queen choked on her own saliva yet again.
