Queen Morwenna dabbed the corners of her eyes with the edge of her handkerchief.
Virelai stood on the right side of the altar in the castle’s chapel, just barely holding the hands of the prince she was betrothed to, looking down at her feet.
The officiant cleared his throat and inhaled deeply before continuing his speech, his voice flat and husky.
“By the power vested in me I now pronounce you man and wi-”
The large, wooden doors of the chapel burst open with a loud, resonating bam.
“I OBJECT!”
Virelai’s head snapped up, promptly dropping Iarlaith’s hands.
Philomath covered her mouth.
“Dear Mogshade…”
She murmured.
“Who in the name of-!”
King Thadewin shouted, his face vibrantly flushed scarlet.
Morwenna narrowed her eyes, a sharp, burning flame raged behind her dark irises.
“Leveret…”
She snarled, her eyes locking onto her son in the doorway.
Leveret’s eyes were wide and his breath ragged as he adjusted his crown on his head.
He smiled softly at his sister before laying eyes on his mother, his face hardening.
The queen stood up, swiftly striding over to the prince and grabbing him roughly by his shirt, slamming the door behind her as she dragged him out.
“How dare you! Sabotaging the wedding! You are a disgrace!”
Morwenna hissed to Leveret.36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0S4m5QLtSv
“Mother- Ah! Mother, please! She does not want to marry him!”
Leveret grunted, the heels of his shoes grinding into the stone floor.36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81RFZJTP8N
“But I want her to marry him. I am the queen! She shall marry whomever I choose!”
The queen dictated.36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnw4mx1vufR
“Mother-”
Leveret peeped.36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFo9RLDLZQC
“Silence!”36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimHM7Z5rbg
His mother snapped, releasing him with a shove.
He stumbled forward with a gasp and a hoarse cough.
“Remove thyself from my presence, insolent child.”
She demanded in a harsh bark.36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVROAEUFs20
“Mother! Listen to me, for the love of Mogshade!”
He begged, glancing over his shoulder at her.36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0ua3nL4gz
“No! You listen to me, child! I said silence!”36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhs8xG3j7il
“Mother-”36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3fZXMHQbZ
“Get out of my castle!”
She growled.
“Mother-”
He choked out.36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxUbxeJfuQ
“NOW!”
She bellowed, jabbing her finger at the entrance to the castle.
He paused for a moment to catch his breath before shaking his head.
“Cancel the wedding… then we may discuss this.”
Morwenna inhaled deeply and exhaled shakily.
“Gaurds!”36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRE0nIZ0KEe
Morwenna bellowed.
“Get this treasonous rebel out of my castle!”
Two tall, able-bodied men marched over as if in a trance, seizing the young Prince firmly by his bony shoulders.
“Wha- MOTHER!”
Leveret shouted, his crown falling over his eyes as he was dragged towards the door.
Morwenna stiffened before turning around and striding back towards the chapel with her head held high.
She opened the door again and entered the chapel with a wide smile plastered on her face, her son’s yelps echoing down the hall.
“Now! Where were we?”
