León's pov
*I was sitting at my desk, trying to sort out my thoughts when my father came. He shut the door and walked to me angrily*
K: Send Violetta home!
L: It's late, don't yell
K: And you don't tell me what to do! I am your father!
L: I don't want to send her home. She is right anyway. The best would be if we stop the war!
K: So she is the reason why. She is the reason why you're acting like this?!
L: No, I-
K: I don't care if you had anything with her. Even if she got in your bed, you shouldn't be brainwashed by what she says.
*He was furious. I haven't seen him acting like this in a long time*
L: Father, you need to get some rest.
K: Send her home or else-
*He looked around, itching to grab something. When he found what he wanted, I felt my hands and back burning from how he hit me. I had to close my eyes and swallow everything I had on my mind. I can't show him even a hint of weakness. This is how I've lived until now. The king's anger issues require a sacrifice, me.*
...
*I headed to the dining room when I bumped in Violetta*
V: Be careful!
L: Good morning to you too
V: Go to Lara
L: What?
V: No. Nothing.
*She was about to leave when I grabbed her by her wrist and pulled her back to me*
L: You are acting strange again. Because of yesterday?
V: Why didn't you protect me?!
*She almost shouted*
L: I protected you.
*I looked into her eyes, seeing them on verge of tears.*
V: You're a liar. You were too busy talking to Lara.
L: Don't believe me, huh? Then look at this.
*I showed her my bruised hands from yesterday. Violetta silenced, observing my hands with eyes wide open. She carefully traced her fingers over my bruises.*
V: What... what is that-
L: He punished me for standing up to you
*She kept her eyes and fingers on my hands, examining the damaged skin. But what she said wasn't what I expected.*
V: Why don't you face your father? You're old enough. You'll never be a good king if you keep on being like this and letting him manipulate you.
L: You blame me? I won't be a good king? What you've done in front of camera was crazy! Did you even take a while to think through it before showing the whole kingdom? Do you have any idea how reckless that was?
V: So you mean to say that I am stupid for doing that?
L: No, wait, I just-
V: I get it, okay. I have nothing to say.
*She walked away angrily and left me alone. What is happening with her? Can't she hear me out?*
