"No!" Lumina cried, clutching Ashen's trembling hand. His body shuddered as a faint light drained from his skin, pulled into the air like smoke.
She could fee it and she needed no one to tell her that King Aden was about to take his power.
His power, his birthright was being torn away slowly from him.
"Father, stop!" Aurelia cried, finally horrified, for the first time she was regreeting telling against her brother's wife.
"Father, stop!" Aurelia cried again. But King Aden's face was stone. "He must learn that no one stands above the throne. Not even my own son."
"Please!" Lumina's voice broke, tears streaking her cheeks. "He spoke in anger, please he didn't mean it please, Your Highness, stop!"
She cried out but Kind Aden was long so gone in it, his rage filled him already.
Just then Ashen's eyes flickered open, his voice faint. "Don't… kneel… to him…. He doesn't know his responsibility as a father." he argued in pain.
