"Do your worst, Your Highness, I do not regret having done this to him," said the man, and Michael gasped,

"Well, if that's what you want," she replied, hearing her voice deeper and heavier then her eyes shone with black as she hit him on the back.

"You would hit a child for money, you are worse than the devil, " she shouted as she started floating in the air and he tried to run away, but she flung the whip which wrapped around his neck and she dragged him back towards her.

"You should do my worse than here you have it, " she shouted as the whip glowed red, and with one more lash across his back, he started bleeding.

"We cannot have her doing this, it will unleash the inner monster," Michael said,

"He deserves what he is getting, beating a child like that, he should rot for all i care," one of the vendors said,

"She should beat him more, the prefect queen i would say now let's ay who would dare to mistreat a child like that in this kingdom again," a young lady said.

"You should not have gotten that kid in the first place, " she said as she pointed her right hand out and lifted him up in the air, as she was about to hit him again, she looked at Brian's face and placed him back on the ground.

However the queen was merciful, she did not hit him as much as he hit the child it was only a couple of strokes and the one that really hurt was with the glowing whip, that was his punishment.

"Before i turn into a monster like you, I want you to leave my kingdom, start over elsewhere, maybe you can change," she said and Brian got up then hugged her crying and she patted him on the head.

"Anyone would be glad to have a child-like this, this time I am sparing you, but if I ever see you anywhere near him again, then I promise you will not leave here alive," she said and the guy got up then went to his home.

"Michael, did I overstepped it?" she asked,

"No, he deserved it, it was just a few lashes" he responded,

"You were never a cruel person Octavia," he said then patted her on the head and she smiled.

"You will stay by the castle until you get better," she said,

"It's fine, your highness, you don't have to...." he replied,

"It's fine and it is my duty as a queen, " she said as they all got into the carriage and left for the palace.

Upon arriving at the castle they got out and they prepared the other guest room for him, then the servants laid the dinner on the table.

"Is he better Michael?" she asked,

"Yeah, he is a lot better, but he will need to rest" he responded,

"Okay Brian, come to have dinner with us then you can go and have some rest," she said,

"Okay, your highness" he replied as he sat down with them at the dining table.

While Octavia was eating, tears came to her eyes.

"How can people be so evil?" she asked herself,

"It is all the rules of nature, you cannot change that" someone whispered to her, she closed her eye then sighed and continued eating, ignoring the whisper.

Michael noticed that Octavia was a little worried so he held her hand and she jumped.

"Are you okay?" he asked and she smiled nervously,

"I am fine" she responded.

"Uh... I am full I will be right back, " she said as she grabbed the bottle of wine and went to her room.

"What's wrong?" Liam asked,

"I do not know, but I think today's incidents triggered something" Michael responded.

"Is that good or bad?" Augustus asked,

"Probably bad" Liam responded and they all looked at him sternly,

"Can you at least try to be positive?" Cassius asked,

"I am just stating the facts, call it as i see it, she is my sister, I know what I am talking about" he responded

"Let me finish my food please, maybe she just wants to get some fresh air," Cecile said and they sighed then continued eating.

Octavia went into the garden and sat down.

She poured herself a glass of wine and drank it as she looked at the stars.

"I should not have done that, how do i tell them how strong the darkness within me has become?" she asked herself as tears ran down her cheek.

The girl then threw herself in the soft grass while looking at her shadow as the darkness started to rise from her body.

She looked at the darkness, then sat back up.

"You can stop this war if you just hand yourself over without a fight," someone said to her as her eyes glowed red and the darkness disappeared.

"Who is there?" she asked and the guy in blue appeared before her.

Octavia jumped in fear as he walked in a circle around her.

"What do you want from me now?" she asked as he grabbed onto her hand and she swallowed in fear,

"Seems like you did not tell them how much you are afraid of me, " he said as he stared her in the eyes.

"I will have what i care for one way or the other or we can make a deal what say your highness?" he asked,

"What deal?" she asked,

"It is a very generous one, give me all of your powers and i will spare your friends and this kingdom, filled with your parent's love, " he responded and tears came to her eyes as he stared at her and she started to choke as she fell on her knees and he placed his hand around her neck choking her.

"You have up until tomorrow afternoon to give me an answer good night, sweet dreams," he said then disappeared.

The girl coughed and held on to her neck as the wolf spirit came to her.

"Your highness," it said,

"Hi, " she replied,

"Please do not tell me that you are considering his offer, are you?" the wolf asked and she smiled,

"Of course, not" she responded.
