Chapter 35

"David, you are not looking at the real scenario of what is going on here." Hunter says and the king looks at him.
Oh really? Hunter coming from you? Are you gonna want to tell me what I need to see? And what I hope not to be seen. I find you out in the lurking with no other than the love of my life and here she is calling an end to our marriage that has been dug in stones before your very presence.
And yet you're telling me that I'm not looking at the scenario as it is. Then tell me exactly Hunter. What am I looking at? Is everything Vixen telling me just lies? Or did it never happen because the Queen has witnessed Richard doubting himself as wisdom as weakness.
"Just like you yourself." I've also witnessed it. So tell me how did I lose my fiancee into a scuffle as this?
"Well for starters, you chose to believe or disrupt away your relationship by the fact that you've seen each other twice, without really never knowing what we actually talked about."
"I know what you are, the mannerisms that you portray yourself to be, enough Hunter! Do not try to be reputable or whatever that kind of disposition that you set in office."
I'm not trying to be honest here. Hunter says. In fact, none of us is honest. Right now, all vixen said was that she was tired of you making decisions in my life and yet all you hear and all you see some kind of betrayal done. "Whereas, Vixen was speaking about the alliance that the both of you have and that is a not new because just as she has said, I was no way in this mess and all she said was to blame you know and her father for restricting her life from doing what you wanted to do."
So, please take a look at the bigger picture before you jump to conclusion. Hunter says.
"Hunter, perhaps you have more to tell me that there's nothing that has ever happened between you and Vixen." Is there really not? Hunter is quiet for the first few moments and the Queen becomes more interested in the situation.
"Of course, he is the one who looks like the righteous man, a man who never has no fault and never does anything inappropriate but once you ask the question." There is this sudden hesitation coming from him and they want to think the worst.
David wants Hunter to disagree with him and make him think otherwise but the silence is hitting.
"Well, You're telling me that..."Hunter looks at him and he cannot seem to answer the questions so easily.
The moment and longer that it takes to answer the question, the king places his hand on the table near him as the true reality of what is going on comes up.
Did something has happened between the both of you? He says and Hunter let go of the situation.
He feels as if it is out of his control already there's really nothing he can do to bring about it out again wanting the nude was that vixen did not want it To be new news to the kingdom.
You cannot do this! The queen dowager voices her opinion.
Mother, stay out of this. I and Hunter better fight like a true men.
"I am a true man and that is why, I would not fight you...I defended myself with you the last time and I ended up here because you thought that you could use the premonition that you're king to subdue me and put me behind closed doors or something."
"You wanted me to hit you, I know you did and yet I still did because that is what I meant do." I do not hide my very intentions. Perhaps, you loved vixen and it hurts you to know that something must have happened between me and her.
"But once again I've said it over and over again that she is not happy. She does not love you, if you at least respect what ever comes up from my mouth should let go of this alliance once and for all." He says and David doesn't want to hear another word that comes up from his mouth.
Shut up! "Hunter, hold your tongue now." I will fight until one of us is dead and by that, the winner emerges and the one who is left alive is going to have Vixen.
David says and the queen looks at her son as she steps towards him.
Have you lost it or something? You're too willing to put your life on the line for this girl who is not even worthy of your love.
"Mother, I told you to stay out of this." He says to her with a scream.
Stay out of this! I'm doing what I know about Vixen and she will not give up on me so easily.
David! Vixen has made it known that she doesn't care for you, there are several other women that would love to have your attention.
"There are several older women across South lands who more beautiful in decor and poise, if you will only open your eyes and see..."
"Mother, I have told you that I love....I loved her for all of my life." My father gave me Vixen, she was the only thing that he gave me. And when you were busy fighting for the throne.
I had vixen, she was the one who made me look out the world? "Do you want me to walk away from happened know like nothing else ever happened like she wasn't there for me."
I understand that she's your friend, I shall continue to be that. But I'm a woman and I will And now you force on the woman who is on desert It's been a relationship with you you've lost. The queen says.
No. David says.
No, I haven't lost and at this very moment. "I command..."
Hunter is surprised, he doesn't know what David is about to command.
Go to vixen's household, I place a direct restriction from her leaving the house. No, wait. David says.
He takes back what he has said Instead of placing a direct restriction in her home.
I decreed that she would be placed here in the castle, under house arrest. David says.
Absurd! This is kidnapping, using your authority to scheme and step into the situation that should need this. Hunter can see that the Queen dowager has the same look over her face.
She knows that her son is doing the wrong thing.
Yes, maybe that is what I'm doing exactly.This is what is happening, okay! I will not allow Vixen to get away from me, she's my mine and mine alone.
"This is stupidity." You will lose what you have. The situation....here you have no idea what you are doing. Vixen will hate you for this!? Hunter says.
What do you suppose you will do after hold her away from her life, do you think you can force her to marry you David? I will never allow something like that to take place.
"Vixen, is a woman who is allowed to make a choice And she has made one, to free herself from this alliance once and for all."
"I am the queen dowager and I will not allow you to pass such judgement." She says and David looks at her before he smiles.
"Anyone that feels or steps In between what I've ordered right now, they should be put on house arrest to even if it is the queen dowager." He says and she gasps as she is what he says.
Never in a her life time did she wants to believe that her son will turn against her, for what exactly?
This is not right! This is not right! This is not right! The Queen says as she's been taken away by the King's guards.
David, I will not allow you to act in such a reckless way. Not under my watch. Hunter says and David looks at the general after he finds his mother been dragged away.
"You're the only person that should be scared of being in my presence and yet you speak to me like you speak to your own king." Have you forgotten the you are King. You cannot act like this, you are using your power to torment vixen.
She doesn't want to be with you. And I will not allow you kidnap her or bring her to this place either. And I will spill blood if I have to stop you from doing that. He says and David is taken aback by the anger in his voice.
"It feels as if there's something much stronger than mere fleeting in his situation." He wonders if there is something deeper in what he has feels for Vixen and to find that there has been more or less but perhaps it doesn't even know what the both of them are share.
Or what perhaps they have shared in the moments that they were being brought together.
You will spill blood for her. David steps closer to Hunter and Hunter raises his head to meet him.
"I'll spill blood for any justice, David." Hunter says as he walks out of the castle
