As your handcuffed with old, rusty, iron handcuffs you look around to see a bunch of men in black robes praying around the alter.
"Finally, we can be reunited, I only have to kill you." Your "Father" says almost to himself.
"Look, your- I mean Mom is still alive, she's just-" You start.
"Silence! I'm not speaking of that...Putrid woman." The King yells at you. The men in black robes chanting gets faster. even the King starts chanting as he reveals an old gold dagger lined with what you expect to be rubies. But since you no nothing of precious stones, they could be sapphires for all you know. You shake your wrists trying to break the very old restraints but to no avail as your frail body is not strong enough. The thought of saying who you really were came to mind but you would only be thrown into a dungeon that the witch had, besides, you figured they wouldn't believe you anyway. The King finally breaks your concentration.
"Maggie, come back to me." He whispers as he raises the golden dagger.
"Wait!" You yell the chanting stops and The King glares at you with a face full of rage.
"What?" He yells back
Is Everyone on her side? You wonder before answering.
"Why do you want her, didn't she take your- I mean Mom?" You ask. The King Looks Disgusted and lowers the dagger which calms your breathing.
"No, I killed the queen, she floats in the river where she belongs. I want my beloved Maggie to come back to me for this blood ritual will attract one which of my choosing to come to me. You see, 'my darling' Maggie is your mother." he tells you. You would have been disgusted only the fact that it would mean that she was the princess's mother, not yours.
"Well anyway, if she ran off on you once, what makes you think she won't do it again?" you ask him. His frown deepens.
"Well...um...well you see..." He tries to tell you.
"Exactly, I know where she is, all you have to do is set me free." You say to him.
"And why would I do that when I will have her anyway from killing you?" He asks. this stumps you for all of two seconds.
"because if you summon her HERE, she'll have no trouble killing you, and your chanting hippie's here." You tell him.
"Hippies?" He asks.
"Yeah, hippies, BUT, if you track her down, with me as a guide of course, you can take as MANY guards as you like, and she'll NEVER escape- I mean leave you ever again." You tell him. He thinks a minute to decide, but he finally answers.
"Alright, but if you try and double cross me, I'll have my guards kill you in a heart beat."He tells you.
"Yeah, Yeah, got it, all I'm asking is why you made up the story about here stealing the Queen?" you ask him.
"Someone would notice here missing, might as well be me, are you ready to go?" he tells you.
"Yeah." You tell him.
Now then, why would the princess lie about having to leave to do something with the queen? You wonder as the king takes the handcuffs of you.
