((okay *pets* Geez, I looked at the forum when I got home an hour ago but didn't think you'd posted XD I just realized it's because I keep looking at the other planet XD))
The doctor nodded and scurried along, bringing him over to the bed where Khalil was happily eating iced milk with crumbles of sweets over top. The left side of his face was bandaged, red pricks of blood already seeping through from the edge of his eye down to the edge of his mouth. The cut also ran through his lower lip to his chin, but that was left untouched, those the thankfully only parts that were shallow.
"M---majesty...!" he stammered a bit, bowing his head sloppily. He was obviously drugged, if his movements didn't give it away, then his giggle certainly did.

"Khalil.....go on eating, don't bow for my sake. How are you feeling?" He half asked the boy, half looked to the doctor. "Will he be alright?" The cut looked serious..bleeding through the bandage.
Anger snapped inside of him, consuming his insides like a fire. Whoever had done this would pay...but he needed to find out why it had happened....or rather, how.
"Is he able to understand my questions? He sounds like he's been drugged."

"I'm fine." Khalil went back to eating.
The Doctor began nervously. "He should. We gave him a mild sedative, but he's lucid enough to answer questions... As to his injury... We will try and make the scar as minimal as possible... The Kitchens are already aware that he is to be on a diet of strictly fish..."

"That is fine. I'll not punish if his scar does not completely disappear. He will be staying here until his injury is healed enough for him to go back, and until I take care of the agressors in the harem. Please leave us." He was already kicking up a chair, taking a seat.
"Khalil? Tell me who did this...did they attack you or Raimi first?" He asked.

The Doctor bowed and left.
Khalil looked up at him, head cocked to the side, then he frowned. "Nen, Tale, and Upton just suddenly attacked Raimi. Tale and Nen held him down while Upton went at him with a knife... Raimi kept screaming for them to get away.... He'd been sleeping, he didn't do anything wrong!!! Everyone's been angry at Raimi because he was the Kin-- the former King's favorite, and now he's yours too..." Had he been fully in his right mind, he would never have spoken so out of turn... "And..." he looked up, as if trying to search his mind for his words. "There was a rumor in the Harem... That you might break the rule and ask for him every night instead of waiting two.... Because there is a rumor you're impotent..."

((Ouch, what a low blow XDDD))
Zadkael was quiet, processing what he'd said. All of it. Raimi was his favorite and would remain so. He was not going to push him aside just for the selfishness of the others'. The three would be punished, and if worst came to worst, thrown out of the harem. Perhaps that would be punishment enough.
He was already getting impatient. He'd not prouduced one heir. Even Raimi seemed unaffected. What if he never produced an heir?
"I will take care of Nen, Tale, and Upton, and I will see to it that Raimi is protected while you're in here. You seem to take great care of him. Thank you for speaking so freely. Concentrate on getting well." He stood, petting through the other's silky hair, tilting his head back to press a fond kiss to his brow. And with that, he turned to head back to the harem.
He stepped inside without even nodding to Cadfiel. "Nen...Tale and Upton, step forward," he barked, voice portraying his anger as much as his stormy red eyes and clenched jaw.

((LMAO))
The three had been placed far from the others, on the other side of the bath with the two King's Guards on either side of them.
The three hung their heads as they stood up and shuffled to bow before their King.

He glared down at their bowed heads, before crossing his arms. "Let this be a lesson to all of you. I'll not have fighting in here. I'll not have stolen weapons used on the other concubines. If you have a problem, you keep it to yourself," He barked, before turning his gaze back to them.
"You've injured Khalil and tried to injure Raimi. I let you stay because I believed you would trully please me. However, you've angered me. Each of you will have your hair cut, and will join the servants in their work. If after a week, you've come to terms with what you have done, you will join the harem again. If not, you will leave, with your things. And that will be all you get from me." He would deal with them like the men he'd controlled in battle, if that was how they wanted to act.

The two flunkies flinched, and murmured small 'Yes, Majesty's.
Upton, however....
"Majesty!! That isn't fair!!! That fat little Ier has no place here!!!! He's poisoning you!! Using Magic on you!! He's a Wizard of some sort!!!" he shrieked, outraged.
Although... Many thought the same...
Why else would their new King be just as enamored? And what about how Raimi's clothes were beginning to become tight?? He was being fed things other than breads and wines!! They knew it!!! He was lazy and getting fat!

He growled, before his hand darted out and he grabbed the front of silk robes, hauling Upton up, level with his angry eyes. "You dare to speak out against me? I was once General of this palace, able to pick out even the tiniest detail . I am able to tell whom is a threat, and whom is innocent. Raimi, I assure you, is no wizard, and h's not used any magic to gain my attention." He left him go, pressing him ack down onto his knees to sit.
"All of you are jealous, angry creatures..isn't it enough that I let you stay? That I will call upon you to grace my bed, and bear my heirs? I could turn all of you out..if that's what you wish. Is it, Upton? Do you wish to be on the streets. Givers would not hesitate to chain you up as their toy." He growled.
"Understand this...there will be no more fighting in here. You will all respect eachother, or I will see to it that you are all punished. Cadfiel, have them taken to have their hair cut and put into the servants quarters. I will personally speak to the head servant so there's no need." He jerked his head up.
"Go, and be greatful I don't give you what you've given Khalil."

Cadfiel did as told, the three bearers trembling in their revealing clothes as they were lead out.

Zadkael looked across the rest of them, before moving silently to Raimi. "Stand, and come with me, Raimi. The rest of you, don't dare budge until Cadfiel returns." He glared at them, before turning, moving towards the curtain, holding it open for the boy.

He swallowed, looking confused but did as told.

He was quiet the whole way to the infirmary. Zad stopped outside the doors, turning to Raimi. "Khalil is your friend, he told me what happened. I feel it's best if you stay and watch over him until I see that no one else will attack you." He murmured, anger finally starting to get under control.

His brow furrowed slightly in even more confusion, "Majesty...I...don't understand...." he murmured.
