Bab 261: Holding the palace hostage

To say Ivan was furious would be an understatement. Ivan was boiling with anger as he made his way back to the king's chamber to see his mother. 

Who did Harold think he was to make such orders? Why was everyone listening to Harold and not him? How dare they disrespect him in that manner? Even Luciana? How could his own wife talk to him in that manner? How could she take Harold's side when she knew that Harold was his enemy?

Without acknowledging the guards, Ivan headed straight into the chamber. He scowled when he saw his mother lying on the bed beside the king. How could she be so useless as to be sleeping at a time like this when Harold had taken the entire palace hostage? The kingdom was in a mess, yet the dearest Queen was sleeping!

"Mother!" Ivan called harshly, and the queen's eyes opened immediately, and she sat up when she saw him.
