THE ROOT OF BITTERNESS

The mood on the day that Williams moves back to the Buckingham palace is rather grim and full of expectation. Being a public figure King Frederic was enthusiastic to welcome his son, but in secret, some misgivings were crawl in his heart. People of the kingdom waited for the verdict of the court that was assembled to witness the reunion. Williams, a master strategist, walked in as a penitent son who is learnt to bow before his father.


Although typically such activities are left to the professionals and employees of the organization, after all the official ceremonies, Williams was reinstated and offered a job with the palace. While the kingdom’s nobility and its subjects looked at this as something positive — some as a sign of relief that no factions were atop factions ruling the kingdom, others as the lie — there most likely was very rich tension behind this facade. Williams appeared to be obedient more so when claiming to be a good son ready to follow his father’s instructions.


However, in the actual context, there laid even more severe plan of action. Henry, who was the king’s chief council of advise, was plotting a coup by influencing both Frederic and Williams. Henry of Essendor devised the strategy that entailed establishment of a royal guard which would be disheartened so that they could not thwart the coup when it would be implemented.


This was the ideal time to stage the affair during a private dinner in honor of Williams’ homecoming; the only guests were immediate family and a few strategic lords. Just when Frederic planned to address the issue of reconciliation, Williams’ signalled his men to physically ejection all the loyalist out of the room. Williams then confronted his father and speaking no word of temperance ruthlessly shot him dead to gain a shot at the throne.


When Frederic was no longer alive, Williams quickly neutralized all possible competition and took the power in the palace into his hands. He quickly took the reign and legitimise the change of power to the court. His assured tones made the people in the room feel the tension.

Williams had to find his sister Diana in the palace garden several hours later and tried to dominate her confidently. Diana as a result of the past traumas and her brother’s actions she shoved him away for the second time. The final outcome of the episode demonstrates that Williams is confidently standing besides Henry in the throne room, while the court and the palace servants are quietly plotting their revenge, full of hatred.
