Detective Liam Niles: Threshold Into The Kingdom by BONITA HIGHLEY - HTML preview

The next day…

Lady Tauna Drake Niles with Detective Liam Niles, just in the back ground to her, Stood. “Dear people of the village Wyvern! I have come to announce and declare. The new kingdom.

A stoutly commoner man steps in front of the others. ”Lady Drake Niles! I am Commoner Blake! You come to us to tell us we now have to line up under your leadership!”

Tauna, not knowing what to say. “People. Listen to me! I come to inform you in peace and love. Our communities are burdened and are crumbling us to our feet.”

Commoner Blake, snickered. “You will have us to believe in fairy tales next. We don’t need to merge, we just need to be free to choose for ourselves on how to live! Of all people to tell us. Why you?”

The king treading his steps next to her.

Commoner Blake, giving one look at the king, gripped his tattered coat. “Lady Drake. Did you have to bring him in to convince us too?”

The king stood prominent. “I implore you all to surrender unto the new kingdom before it’s too late.”

Commoner Blake, with gritted teeth. “King Winfred! You bring contempt upon our people! Why should we bow down to the likes of you!? Why should we take word from a corrupt King!!! We will never surrender!!!”

The king taking a step. “Have you no pity for the rest of them! For if you don not consent to the new kingdom, we will garnish your wages!”

Liam quickly veered at the king with indented brows of question. As the commoner began to harness his tightened fist of fury toward the king, as another commoner came forward to him. “ Commoner Blake. We are hurting too much, our food is getting scarce. Me and my family will take the new kingdom. Stop your pride before your family is ruin.”

Commoner Blake, in madness. “ KING WINFRED!!! YOU HAVE DONE THIS TO US!!! I WILL FOLLOW ONLY LADY TAUNA”S RULES UPON US- AND NEVER WITH YOU!”

The king stagnant.”Consent to me, or parish!”

Commoner Blake, taking his threatening steps toward the king, as the king’s guards, taking Commoner Blake under arrest while the other commoners being placed under duress. Dragging the peasant to his knees.

Liam, swiftly goes to the king. “King Winfred! That was not part of the agreement!”

King Winfred watching the insolent peasant being taken away. “How else to convince the people but to show an example of what will happen if they do not comply.”

Liam, stood up to him. “King Winfred! You have breached our agreement!”

King Winfred looked at him. “Perhaps a foreshadowing of your legend in your own time.” He walks away.

Liam stood between the king’s final words and his view of growing commoners’ anger before him.
