Chapter 8 - in the palace once more

Queen Antoinette received the report her husband is missing, and her son was attacked. "Get me the generals!" The queen demands. Annas father General Thain steps forward. "I am ready to serve my queen." He speaks softly. Antoinette replies. "Send 2 battalions to bring my son home, and send all scouts you can, find what happened to the king!" Thain rises and salutes the queen. "It shall be done, I will personally escort Prince Gareth."

As their conversation was finishing, a summoning circle appeared in the throne room, and Rebecca with her 9 family members appeared with a pile of treasure, summoned via the contract she broke.

Antoinette looks at her and speaks. "So you dared to cheat on my son, and still appear before us?" Rebecca replies. "I didn't cheat, I just... my father agreed to another engagement and I..." Antoinette interrupted her. "And you knew and said nothing. You didn't stand by him, you didn't defend him, you don't deserve him."

Anna rushed into the throne room, carrying an unconscious prince Gareth. Rebecca seeing him froze and asks Anna, is he OK? Anna replies coldly. Gareth killed your fiancee, are you happy now. Rebecca replies, "i never cared about Rufus." "And yet you betrayed Gareth for him." Anna replies. "Enough" yells Antoinette as she gently took her son.
