Several round, and a rather friendly guy placed a thick cushi+on on my butt and made a smile at me

”Cooperate and scream harder” He said

”One!” Guard’s rod slammed in

”Ahhhhh…” I yelled and didn’t feel pain at all thanks to the cushi+on

”Two!” Here came one more

”Ahh… ahh… ahh!” They beat for twenty-eight ti

Two e them Then I turned my eyes and saw Fischer’s evil smile

”NO!” I sensed danger from his eyes, and as expected, the cushi+on was promptly lifted, and I was beaten the crap out!

”PUFF PUFF!” With two stuffy sound, I got hit right in the middle An unnamable sharp and sorrowful pain spread on my skin to my bone marrow My mouth idely open without a sound but ”Ssssssi… ssssssi”

”What the…”

”En, nored my sad eyes and turned around, ”Stand up, my mom wants to see you”

I hobbled on the Royal Garden Lane Lovely streams and exotic flowers and plants didn’t offer help with the pain

”My father said, if he doesn’t beat you at least twice for real then cat out of the bag, others will know” Fischer led, ”By the way, you got lucky, a bunch of rods for a mil-pos”

”I don’t care! You ree!” I said with bare teeth

”Whatever… you still have to call me Majesty”

”Hey hey… that’s gonna wait, you are still at ‘Highness’”

In a small pavilion surrounded by streams, we met Queen Nashor She wore a white dress and sat on a white stool She was doing ikebana with a pair of scissors and concentrating on plants that were strangers to us

”There you are” She said softly, ”Have a seat, I’ll be right with you”

”Please continue” Fischer sat down, and I decided to keep standing considering the condition of ht”

Queen Nashor looked atI froze the moment she smiled at me Her expression was so real, natural and comfortable

No birds were hu while I heard the lower roar of the strearacefully put down scissors and cleaned her hands in a silver tray

”I had a sense of everything you’ve done recently” She stood up and put the finished bouquet on the fence, ”However, I don’t understand why you have to do it in the rudest way”

”I…” Out of nowhere, faced with a kind elder, I choked and had no idea why I was acting tense and unable to lie

”Mother?” Fischer said, ”Isn’t Cohen such a man? Do you mean he faked all these?”

”Silence!” Queen Nashor then asked, ”Tell me, Cohen”

”I… think, this way it would be htforward” I tried hard to re”

”I see, then it was all part of your personality” She paced and finally faced er and put it on my forehead A feel of a drop of cold spread like a ripple

”A boy of sixteen” She gazed at my eyes, ”Why a boy with so many hidden secrets”

”Your Grace…” I tried to end this conversation as fast

”Call me auntie” She interrupted, ”Isn’t it better for you like this?”

”Yes, auntie” I surrendered

”You two are in grave danger” Slowly she sat down, ”Do you know?”
