Chapter 50 - 50

Int. King's room- Night

She is taken to the king's room-

King Lion: Leave her there

Mike: Yes sir

The servants drop her there, he then pours himself a drink

King Lion: Aren't you a strong one, normally this drug knocks off everyone and here you still are awake

Ella: Let me out of here

She sees a sword and tries to grab it

King Lion: You are going to hurt yourself, let go of that. You can't even stand properly

Ella: You are right, in this state I can't kill you. Still I will not allow you to touch me

She immediately turns it and try to slit her throat. He immediately rushes over, takes the sword and throws it away. She is struggling and screaming

Ella: You monster, let go of me. Don't touch me (she slaps him)

King Lion: You are going to regret doing that (slaps her so hard she falls into the bed) Now I will teach you some manners

He starts undoing her clothes and kissing her neck

Ella: Please stop {somebody, anyone, help. Dan where are you}

Immediately a flower base crushes on his head

Dan: You dare to touch my wife. I will kill you tonight

King Lion: That really hurt. You surely are a romantic one. Let's do this. Kill her then I will forgive and accept you back

Dan: You have surely lost your mind (they engage in a fight

Ella: Dan, we need to leave, the guards are coming

King Lion: You are not going anywhere until I deal with you

Dan splashes him with a sleeping powder and they immediately ride a horse to escape

Cy: There they are, after them

In the forest they unmount a horse and they enter a secret cave covered in bushes

Cy: Search everywhere, they can't just vanish. They surely haven't gone anyway far.

They search until they give. Dan then confirms that they have left, he then lights fire

Dan: They are gone, we are now safe. (she spits blood) Oh no! You need the antidote

Int. Palace- Day

He has come to make a report

Cy: We have a problem sir

Mike: What is it? I hope you did not execute them on the spot. The king wants them alive

Cy: They have escaped. They just vanished in the woods

King Lion: You let them get away didn't you? She was heavily poisoned, there is no way they could have outran you. Get lost from here and go find them

Cy: Yes sir

Mike: Everyone I'd ready and waiting for you sir

They go out and join his arm who are waiting for his instructions

King Lion: Thank you for joining me today, I am happy that you are all ready to defend your home. The traitor my son and daughter in law have join our enemies to later come and destroy our home and families

Max: {Is Dan really a traitor, how and when. He should have told me anything}

King Lion: The question is, will we let them do whatever they want?

Men: No sir!

King Lion: Good! From now on be on the look out for we don't know when they will strike. Be ready to defend your homes

Mike: Sir, I think you should think about evacuating until we have assessed the situation

King Lion: I am not a coward who hides behind during war, that is why I am the king. I have a score to settle with those two. Let's prepare ourselves

Int. Cave- Day

Finally Ella comes to her senses

Dan: You have to drink this when it's still hot. I know that it doesn't taste good

Ella: What is this place?

Dan: It's my secret cave, nobody knows about it's existence even my best friend Max doesn't know. Eat this dried fruit, this medicine is too bitter

Ella: Can I lean on your shoulder

Dan: Do you even have to ask. Are you hurt somewhere?

Ella: No, he only slapped me. I was scared he would touch me, I was very terrified. For the second time in my life I felt very helples. I couldn't move my body and help you deal with him

Dan: It's all my fault. I should have kept you safe and protected you

Ella: Don't say that, you arrived right at the time when I needed you the most. I am happy to have a husband who loves me a lot. I will cherish your love and stay by your side forever

Dan: And I will never let you down. The medicine is kicking in, you need to sleep

Int. Eatery- Day

Max is having a meal with his cousin

Max: There is even a wanted poster of him. Are you sure he is a traitor? What is really going on, I think this must be a mistake

Cy: No it's not, I saw it with my own two eyes. Something is wrong with his wife and he chose to join her

Max: His wife?

Cy: Apparently she is not who she seems to be. She is a rebel from the mountains remnants of the villages we raider before. Dan loved her a lot that he chose to forsake his father and be with her. He has never striked me as the romantic type. I would have expected that from you

Max: That is truly unbelievable

Cy: If he contacts you make sure to report to the king or else you will be in trouble. The king has ordered the head of however helps the fugitive. I am especially warning you because I know of your brotherhood. Don't implicate our family. The king is extremely angry. How is Monique anyway?

Max: What could go wrong with her. She is fine and it seems she is finally reflecting on her actions

Cy: I am glad she has finally let go. She really had the family worried

Max: I still can't grasp at where she learnt to shoot arrows

Cy: Why are you looking at me like that. I have things to do, I am going

Max: It's you, isn't it
