We followed Scarlip out of the stable and back into the room we had been in before. We went up the stairs and through the door at the top. It was a large room, with thrones at the end. Other than two large thrones and two little ones there was nothing else in the room. It was a throne room.
"Glad you could join us" The man at the end said. He was king, wearing the crown on his head. I didn't bow to him or the queen and this annoyed Scarlip.
"Bow!" He shouted at me then slapped me with the back of his hand. I fell to the floor by the force of the slap.
"Don't you dare touch her" Lampton growled as he helped me to my feet.
"What you gonna do about it, Peasant?" Scarlip growled.
I held onto Lampton's arm as he shook with anger. He knew I didn't want him to start anything but his anger was getting too much. His face was turning red.
"Lampton," I whispered. "It's fine. See?" I held his hand up to my cheek. "I'm fine, okay? I'm fine"
Lampton looked down at me. "He hit you." He whispered back. "He needs to learn that he can't go round hitting girls, especially not you."
He then gritted his teeth and pulled away from me. Lampton moved towards Scarlip and before I could grab him Charming grabbed me.
"Let him" He whispered in my ear.
I practically growled at Charming. "Now is not the time to play all high and mighty brother" I replied through gritted teeth but he didn't answer, he just kept his hold on my arms.
Scarlip landed the first punch practically onto Lampton's left eye but Lampton hit him back on the jaw. Lampton hit Scarlip with such force that he stumbled backwards and fell to the floor.
"That's enough, Men. There will be no more fighting between you. Now go, Sir Residies, before I do something that I don't want to do." The queen's voice called out and she didn't sound happy. Scarlip nodded, bowed and left us standing there. As soon as the door shut behind him, Lampton physically relaxed and came back over to take my hand.
"I'm sorry." He whispered then kissed me on the lips. When he pulled back we turned to face the King and Queen, who were looking at us in shock.
The king stood up, holding onto his throne still. "Have you defiled my daughter?" He asked, trying to hide his anger.
"I would never touch your daughter, Sir, for I am in love with Freya" Lampton replied, clearly confused.
"She is my daughter, you fool! Have you defiled her?" The king said angrily.
"I don't know what you are talking about"
The king stalked towards us, his face painted red. I stood before Lampton defiantly. The king pushed me from him and onto the floor as the queen screamed, "Reswart!"
The king paused, in his angry rampage, and nodded, suddenly calm. "Reswart" He repeated.
Getting to my feet, I watched the queen, "Reswart?" I questioned and everyone went still, completely and utterly still.
"Well done, Princess, you said my name." Frogface's voice whispered in my ear. "But the game isn't over just yet."
