Caesar sat upon his throne with his hand holding up his head in a bored position. The chair was carved of a fine oak, crested with several jewels and decorative metals forming an elegant coat of arms. Although the seat of King was impressive, it was a mere tool compared to the throne he sought to Claim.
Pastrami: I've searched the whole castle and the castle grounds. Alexia is nowhere to be found sir.
Pastrami reported in front of him.
Caesar: - And you're sure of this?
Pastrami: We've check everywhere sir. She's gone.
Caesar: Dammit! I cannot believe that runt! Having the cowardice to kill my salami and not dealing with the consequences! Simply outrageous!
Pastrami: - Sir, If I might interject. I think Alexia may have been trying to kill you...
Caesar: What?
Pastrami: Well I found this in her bedroom.
Pastrami pulled a simply piece of paper with writings and drawings on it.
The letter Read:
[ Caesar always goes to the garden to pray in front of granny. Maybe If me and Dane come at 8:00 Aerio time, we can position the musket at the right angle….}
It continued on to say that the rest of the plan, Including a crudely drawn map of the garden.
Caesar: ...
Caesar was silent. This new revelation had him shocked but not too surprised
Caesar: I should have known. She was always against me becoming king. But I would have never thought she would have Resorted to murder.
Pastrami: Quite.
Pastrami: -And What's most alarming to me about this, Is that it seems to also implicate her knight dane in the plot too.
Caesar: Interesting.
Caesar said.
Caesar: I've assumed that You've already captured dane?
Pastrami: Yes Milord. She's in a holding cell in the barracks.
Caesar: Bring her to me then. I have some questions to ask…
Pastrami: Of course.
Pastrami bowed to caesar and left the was left alone in his throne room once more.
He looked at the portrait hanging behind his throne. It was a mural of his family. His father and mother were looking on dotingly on him and his brother playing in the lake. It was a reminder of a much simpler time.
*BANG*
The door to the throne room slammed open, Revealing an angry and panicked woman. It was petunia.
Petunia: Caesar! Caesar!
Caesar: What is it my love?
Petunia: I cannot find alexia anywhere! Have you seen her?
Caesar: ….
Caesar paused.
Caesar: I don't know how to say this…
Petunia: What do you mean? What did you do to her?
Caesar: Me?
Caesar: No, No,No, No,No,No,No,No!
Caesar said "No" Repeatedly in a mocking fashion.
Caesar: I didn't do anything! Your Daughter is a murderer!
Petunia: What?
Caesar: Your Daughter Tried to KILL ME!
He exclaimed angrily. Petunia gasped and was silent at caesar's accusation!
She angrily put her foot down and yelled at him.
Petunia: How dare you accuse my darling of such a heinous crime!
Caesar: I do not slander without proof milady! Here!
He threw her the letter and notes pastrami had collected. Petunia begrudgingly picked them up and read them with disdain.
Petunia: ….
She paused and gasped.
Caesar: She planned to kill me with a musket and use her knight dane to cover it up!
Petunia: I don't believe it…. I can't believe it!
Caesar: Do you think it's a coincidence that after salami got shot, Alexia suddenly goes missing!?
Petunia: I don't know! But I refuse to believe that my darling could ever do something like this.
Caesar: Stop being daft, woman! Your daughter is a murderer! plain and simple.
He exclaimed. The room was silent.
Petunia: …. She never loved you. -And now I see why.
Petunia left room seething mad. Her large body soon was out of the room leaving a void of where it once was.
Caesar: Honey! Wait..!
Caesar called out to her but it was no use. He just sighed and sank back into his throne, Looking into the distance of his quarters
Caesar: I will find you alexia.
