The Palace Beast

"What is going on here? He's a ghost, get rid of him!" yelled the queen in a terrifying voice with her eyes focused on the guards that have seized Drew. "What is the matter mother? Can't you recognize your son anymore more?"

King Afa started making his way towards his mother. Bonnie and Eva laughed out loud as they stood beside the throne to watch the show.

The night they arrived Maxis with Kyle; Eva was able to recite the spells with the necessary ingredients bringing the king back from the dead. It was a lovely moment for them as they see the impossible happen. However, the king was not happy he was brought back. His father King Gilbert has been captured by Persephone and taken to the underworld where his soul will be for all eternity. It happens that his time in the land of the dead is up and must be taken to the underworld. This was the new decree of Hades because he wants to reign supreme and glory in the souls he have in the underworld.

King Afa was left alone in the land of the dead as he began looking for a way to journey to the underworld but not quite long from his quest he was brought back to life by Bonnie and Eva with the help of the lost book of Anubis. Looking his mother dead in the eye, he asked with a broken heart, "How could you mother?"

"I could I what? Are you real?" She asked still terrified.

She has never heard of anyone returning from the dead after close to two months of dying. It was an unbelievable moment for her as she stared around and saw Drew lying on the floor with the guards' feet on his shoulder blade. Looking her dead in the eye again, King Afa said in a sad voice, "You killed my father, your husband, and the king of Maxis. For this, I am charging you for treason."

"What are you talking about son?"

"Don't even pretend because I met my father and he told me how his so-called best friend has been humping you. When he found out, you killed him thinking you will claim the throne not knowing he has informed the council I will rule over Maxis. He died because you wanted him out from your life in other for you to end up with this fool and to take on the kingdom you never worked hard for."

"Please son, don't do this. I have repented of my sins. Please don't charge me for treason."

She pleaded and fall to her knees. Bonnie and Eva were still watching still standing beside the throne. They did not want to interfere while the king was still talking. "There is nothing I can do. It's the law of this kingdom."

Calling in other guards, the king ordered them to take the queen and her lover away.

Bonnie approaches her brother with a sad look on her face, "Don't tell me you are already having sympathy for her after what she has done?" King Afa asked sternly.

"Not really brother. Charging something for treason means you have to burn the person on a stake or hang the person. She's still our mother, you can't let this happen, please." Bonnie has hated her mother her entire teenage life and now she's an adult she still hates her but she never wanted to see her die. She has a soft heart when it comes to family. "You have spent a lot of time hating her. Why are you advocating for her now?"

It's not easy for the king to take this decision but justice must be done no matter who is involved.

As the princess was about to speak further, Gerald and Leon walked in interrupting the conversation. They are just hearing the king is back from the dead and like wildfire, the news has spread over the kingdom of Maxis. They couldn't believe their eyes. They were filled with joy as they both quickly approach the king and bowed before him.

"I'm happy to meet you all well," King Afa said putting up smiles.

"I'm delighted in seeing you again my king," said Gerald.

"I am delighted too, my king." Leon glances at the king with a smile.

This has never happened before. King Afa is the first to come back from the dead. No king or queen has encountered such.

"We are going to feast. Prepare a banquet for my return in honor of my sister, Princess Bonnie, and my beloved Eva."

King Afa approached the throne and then slowly sat on it. With smiles on his face, he said in a loud excitement tone, "It's good to be back!"

Not quite long, there was a loud shout of excitement outside the palace. The people of Maxis have gathered in their numbers. As many who have heard about the return of the king were all chanting songs of joy outside the palace. "The people are here to see you, my king," Eva said.

"In that case, I will go and meet them outside myself." ...Adrian's House...

The news just got to Adrian just now. For the past few days, he has not been stable after the visit of Queen Eve. He is lost in ideas and doesn't want to lose his wife and son. His wife has been blaming him for everything that has happened. And as he prepares to go and meet with the king and celebrate his return, his wife walked up to him and asked in a gentle slow voice, "And where are you going, my love?"

"To the king's palace, of course. I want to celebrate his return."

She said again in a gentle slow voice, "I am sorry my husband, I won't let you leave."

"This is the king we are talking about my dear."

"I know but any place you go that you won't take me with you, there is no way I will let you go alone."

...Bonnie's Chamber...

Bonnie's mind has been filled with a lot of negative and positive thoughts about his brother. 'My brother I know can't take our mother's life. Maybe this land of the dead has changed him.'

As she was lost and deep in her thought, Andrew walked in and stood in front of her with his head slightly bowed.

"You sent for me my princess."

Grabbing Andrew close to her breasts, she let his chest feel her breast. "Yes, I sent for you. I want you to make me feel like a woman and above all, make me happy for my mind is not right anymore."
