In another part of Avalo royal palace. Concubine Bri bed chambers.
Concubine Bri just finished having her bath, she did not attend the royal ball because the king promised to visit her that night. Besides, it annoys her anytime she saw the Queen seating by his side. She has been his favorite for a long time now but yet he changes the topic anytime she brought up the topic of the position of Queen.
She really had her eyes on the Queen's seat but she was not stupid enough to declare it openly. All the king's wives and mistress seem to be scared of the Queen. Bri has concluded that it was because of her cursed son.
Sighing Bri pushes the thoughts of mother and son away from her mind. She needed to conserve her energy for the king. As the king's favorite she believed that if she keeps attending to his needs just the way he wants it then he would keep coming to her. That way she can keep her position for as long as possible. Maybe she would even be able to steal the position of the Queen.
She sat down and gently combed her hair, she needed to look her best for the king. Just as she was applying her body lotion, she thought she heard her door open, so she looked towards the door but she saw no one.
An uncomfortable feeling raise in her heart, so somehow she felt a presence in her room. It felt like someone was watching her but she could see no one. No matter how many times she checked. So she pushed the uncomfortable feeling to the back of her mind.
After a few breaths, she had the same feeling so she looked around the room again but she still could find no one. she applied her ornament and lay down comfortably on her bed it wait for the king.
Moments later the king arrived in a high spirit. When Bri saw this she unconsciously smiled at herself anticipating a good night with the king.
As an expert, the king arrives a moment later still in his merry mood. He was slightly drunk. Walking over to the woman who was lying seductively on the bed. King Rodrick attracted her lips and Bri respond with the same intensity.
When Bri expected more, the king fell into a trance. He felt as though something different possessed him. Bri was taking aback, she adjusted herself and try to get the king's attention. She felt alert about the situation but did not know what to do.
"Your Majesty, your majesty," she called snapping her finger in front of him. For three breaths the king did not respond but when he did, he suddenly attacks her.
Placing both hands on her neck he began to strangle her. Bri shock by his attack tried to struggle. she held his hands and tried to set herself free but her strength was no close to match with his.
In the face of death, Bri hits the king's chest and uses her leg to hit him in the place sun never shines, but the king was not himself. He felt numb to everything around him and the only reaction she got was him tightening his grip on her neck.
Bri began to gaps for air, in a short moment, the king Strangled life out of her. King Rodrick fell into a daze again and his grip around her neck loosened up. He snapped out of his daze and for a few moments, he was confused by the situation.
He became conscious, he could not explain why he had acted the way he did. He touches the woman in front of him to see if she still had life but he only confirms her death. With a heavy heart, he closed her eyes.
'What happened to me?" He asked himself. He was alert by the situation. He has heard many kings going mad with power. "Am I going mad," he wondered. Adjusting his clothes he left the room. He was now in low spirit not just because he favored Bri at the moment, but because of what he did. No matter how he tried to make sense out of the situation, he could not explain or understand the reason for his action. The only possibility was the fact that he was losing his mind and he hated it. More than that he feared that his enemies may use the information against him. So like a tamed beast, he walked back to his chamber.
Bri's handmaids left her chamber early, because Bri asked them to leave. So nobody saw the king visit her chamber. Not that it mattered as no one dare gossips about the king. After the cursed prince, the one everyone in the palace feared most was the king. Whatever happens in the royal palace stays in the Royal Palace. So just like that, the death of Concubine Bri was going to remain a mystery no one could tell.
In the corner of the room, a shadow was standing with a smirk playing on his lips. When he entered the room earlier, he wanted to kill her. But seeing her dressing up he had a feeling that she was expecting the king. He has thought of many ways to get back at the king and he felt it was best to touch one of his wives since the king went after Ellen. Besides, as far as Sebastian was concerned, his wives apart from the Queen were not his blood.
An idea stroke his mind as he watched the woman dress up in high spirit. So he decides to give it a try. His mother handed over a spellbook to him since he turned twelve. He decided to try out the possess spell on the king and it worked almost too perfectly.
Sebastian sighed looking at the lifeless body on the bed. He did not feel sorry for her. Anyone in the king's Palace knew that their life was hanging on a tiny thread. Schemes and murder were quilt common. She was the prince's target because she was the king's favorite at the moment. Many say only the king's favorite is untouchable, as the other wives, feared the rot of the king. Who would have thought that this reason was what lead to Bri's death?
