Three weeks later.

As the weeks went on, Aleena and Mephiles have been seeing each other. So far, Jules has no idea since she sneaks out when he is busy. A few time, he's caught her and ask her where she has been. She lies saying she's been with Susan or went for a walk. Saying she miss walking and when she was home, she would always go for a walk to clear her head. He believes her. She was going to see Mephiles today, but told him she couldn't. Five knights were found dead, Jules took it to heart and she hasn't see him. She's been helping the families with this hard time and working on their cremation. Though she is worried about Jules. She was with Charlotte, she was lost in her thoughts. She then felt a hand on her shoulder so she looks back to see Charlotte and Ella.

"Your majesty." Ella says.

"Yes." Aleena says smiling.

"Lunch is ready." Ella tells her.

"Great." Aleena says standing up.

She follows Ella.

"Are you okay your majesty?" Ella asks.

"I'm worried about Jules." Aleena replies.

"Kevin is with him, he had his lunch early." Ella tells her.

"Of course he did." Aleena whispers.

"Last I heard, he was in the knights' room, working on a few things and trying to find out who did this." Ella says.

Aleena sighs. The knights' room is where they plan everything. It only had a large table in the middle with 20 chairs, eight on either side and two on each end. Aleena has only been in that room once.

"He's going to be there for the rest of the day." Aleena says.

"I believe so." Ella says. "Kevin says he is still blaming himself. Andrew is there helping him." Ella explains.

"I know Andrew will be." Aleena says.

As they day went on, Aleena was walking around. It was getting late and Jules wasn't there for dinner. She was worried. Sir Andrew says he has been drinking wine. Aleena is worried on how much he has had. She knows she wasn't allowed in the knights' room, Jules says it wasn't really her place there. She, in some way, agrees to him. Aleena stops by a window and sighs. It was getting late, Jules wasn't there for dinner. She doesn't even know if he ate. Then Sir Andrew walks over and Aleena looks at him.

"Is Jules okay?" Aleena asks.

"Not really, he kicked me out of the knights' room. I'm worried. I haven't seen Jules like this before." Sir Andrew explains.

"What do I do?" Aleena asks.

"You could go and talk to him, you are his wife." Sir Andrew tells her.

"I'm worried on how he would react to me." Aleena admits.

"So am I, but Jules needs help. I've tried and he has turn me down. You are the only person who can try to get him to bed." Sir Andrew explains.

Aleena sighs.

"Wish me luck." Aleena says.

"I'll drop by in five, if you fail, I'll have Sir Hunter to help me take him to bed." Sir Andrew tells him.

"Good idea." Aleena says walking off.

Aleena heads to the knights' room, praying. She made it to there and sighs as Kevin walks out with an empty jug.

"How much wine has he had?" Aleena asks.

"He's on his ninth jug now." Kevin replies.

"Don't bring him another one and head to bed." Aleena tells him.

Kevin nods as he walks off and Aleena walks in. She saw Jules sitting at the far end of the table, drinking what she hopes his last cup of wine. Jules looks over and sighs.

"What do you want?" Jules asks with anger in his voice.

"I came to check on you." Aleena replies.

"Get out." Jules says as he pours another drink, then quickly drinks it.

"Jules, I think you have had enough." Aleena tells him.

"You don't tell me if I have had enough!" Jules tells her. "Peasant." Jules adds.

Aleena sighs.

"I'm sorry my king." Aleena says.

Jules grabs the jug and sighs, empty.

"Where's Kevin?" Jules asks.

"Going to bed." Aleena replies.

Jules walks up to her.

"I told him not to bring you another jug." Aleena whispers.

Jules then his Aleena with the jug, knocking her down. Aleena groans as she looks at Jules shock. She then felt something sliding down the side of her face. She wipes it and looks at her hand. Blood. Aleena crawls back, but Jules starts beating into her.

"You're nothing." Jules says.

"Jules, please." Aleena pleads as she tries to get away, but Jules pulls her back and pins her down as he kept beating into her

"You think you can come in here and tell me what to do! What I can't do, you are nothing, a peasant?!" Jules shouts.

"Stop, please!" Aleena cries. "I'm sorry!" Aleena then cries.

After Jules finished beating into her, he heads off, leaving Aleena beaten and broken. Aleena was in tears. She tries to get up, but drops. Then Sir Andrew and Sir Hunter runs in. Sir Andrew rushes over to Aleena's aid.

"Aleena." Sir Andrew says worry as he scans her injuries.

"Jules, he… he…" Aleena tries to explain, but breaks down in tears.

Sir Andrew picks her up and sighs as he pulls her close. He needed to find Jules.

"Take her to Charlotte and look after her." Sir Andrew tells

"Of course." Sir Hunter says with a nod.

Sir Andrew hands Aleena over and sighs.

"Where are you going?" Sir Hunter asks.

"I'm going to find the king." Sir Andrew replies walking off.

Sir Hunter carries Aleena to Charlotte, once they walk in, Charlotte looks at then shock.

"What happened?" Charlotte asks as Sir Hunter sits Aleena on a bed.

"Jules." Sir Hunter replies.

"Go and check on Wave, I got her." Charlotte tells Sir Hunter who walks off.

Charlotte got up and ran to the door, locking it and then runs back to Aleena.

"He's drunk, Jules is drunk and… he did this." Aleena whispers.

"Let's clean you up." Charlotte says.

Aleena nods. Aleena sighs as Charlotte clean her up, she has a bandage wrapped around her head. Charlotte wanted to use her magic, but Aleena refuses. Once she was patched up, Aleena lies down and Charlotte pulls the covers up.

"Thanks." Aleena whispers.

"It's okay." Charlotte says.

"When Jules is sober, I am telling him he cannot drink wine ever again. A cup here and there is fine, but nothing like he did tonight." Aleena says.

"Good idea." Charlotte says. "Get some rest." Charlotte tells her.

"Okay." Aleena whispers, closing her eyes.
