Chapter 134 The Queens Sentence (2/2)

As time passes by, my Lili is becoming more and more beautiful. I need every ounce of my self control just to stop myself from taking her fully.

After I have calmed down completely, I walked towards the king's office.

I went to king Edward's office for a quick visit. After the sentence was passed down to the queen's uncle and aunt in law, I want to know what is the sentence for the queen's crimes.

'Knock knock' the guard who was guarding the entrance of the king's office knocked on the door to announce my presence.

”Your majesty, prince Regaleon is here to ask an audience with you.” The guard said.

”Let him in.” King Edward's said from inside the room.

The guard opened the door and I quickly entered.

”What bring's you here prince Regaleon?” King Edward asked.

”You know why I am here.” I said while taking a seat in front of the king. ”You have not yet passed down queen Erica's sentence. I am here to know what is her sentence for the crimes she has committed.”

King Edward sighed heavily. I knew that he was anticipating me to ask this question.

”Erica is guilty of all the charges. She is the mastermind to the poisoning of Alicia's mother and my concubine Leticia, and also the attempted assasination of Alicia.” King Edward said. ”I also want her to pay for her crimes tenfold.”

I can see the anger and resentment in the king's eyes.

”But..?” I looked at him seriously.

”But Erica is still my wife, at least in name. And she is still the queen of this country.” King Edward sighed. ”The ministers are against a death sentence. This could affect the citizens of Alvannia and might result to an uproar. I am a king of this country and cannot be selfish. Even though I want her to die for her sins, but I still need to think for the many.”

I nodded in understanding. Being a king doesn't mean you can do anything you want. Your hands are still tied up by the minsiters of the court. I look at the king before me and scoffed lightly.

'This is not the kind of king I would be in the future.' I thought. I won't let some minsiters tie me up and make a puppet out of me.

”Then what sentence have the court decided for the queen's crimes?” I asked not really interested now that death sentence is out of the equation.

”Erica will be stripped of her crown as queen. I will lawfully divorce her.” King Edward said. ”She would be sent to the tower of Grace found in the most remote outskirts of the country. There she will live her remaining days, not able to step out of the tower again.”

I just nodded in understanding and stood up from my seat. I turned to walk out of the office.

”Wait a minute.” King Edward called.

”You still have something to add?” I asked. ”I promised Alicia to be by her side before she wakes up, so I am in a hurry.”

”Ahh.” The king was stunned for a while.

”If it is not important then I will take my leave.” I said.

”Are you okay with this? The sentence I mean.” King Edward spoke hastily.

I looked at him seriously. ”Well there is nothing I can do to change the court's decision. This is your country afterall.”

After that I turned around and walked away.

'That might be your sentence for her crimes, but I have a sentence of my own.' I smiled internally.
