As Ivan headed for the Queen\'s chamber, the two guards he had sent to find the royal physician came to inform him that the royal physician was headed for Williams\' chamber.

Ivan turned crazy when he heard that and he changed his direction to his Uncle\'s chamber with the guards following closely behind him, while Luciana\'s father continued to go find the Queen. Ivan could handle the physician while he gives the Queen a piece of his mind.

Ivan had not gone too far when he sighted the royal physician who was surrounded by three guards who were guarding him to William\'s family chamber.

The queen had indeed meant it.

Wielding his sword, Ivan stopped them, threatening to kill anyone who dared to disobey him, "Come with me," he ordered the physician.

The physician was torn. Since he started working in the palace, this was the umpteenth time he regretted choosing a career as a physician. He had not seen Lady Luciana, but judging by what the first maid had said and the look on Lady Luciana\'s handmaiden\'s face, he could tell it was a serious issue. And as a physician, he wanted to take a look.

Unfortunately, he couldn\'t do so.

William\'s father who had been looking for Ivan all over the palace also wielded his sword at Ivan when he saw him, "HOW DARE YOU DO THAT TO MY SON?" Williams\'s father roared angrily at Ivan as he tried to strike but Ivan caught his sword with his midair.

Merely seeing the expression on William\'s father\'s face, anyone could tell that he was using his last self-control to keep himself from killing Ivan.

"You should have taught your son to never get in my way. I warned him," Ivan said before turning to the physician but before he could say anything, Susan ran to the physician.

"Come with me, you must save my brother, please," She cried as she grabbed the physician\'s hand, but before she could pull him with her Ivan stepped forward, and so did her father when he saw the menacing look in Ivan\'s eyes.

Ivan turned to his uncle, "Get another physician for your son. He has to attend to my wife!" Ivan said as he looked at the physician pointedly.

"The same wife you almost killed?" William\'s father asked, and Ivan ground his teeth. He hated his uncle\'s guts.

"You might be my uncle, but I advise you to watch the way you address me," Ivan warned.

"He will attend to my son first. You can get someone else for your wife. And pray nothing happens to Williams." he said, and Ivan\'s guards drew their swords, while the three guards escorting the physician also drew theirs.

"Father we don\'t have time for this. Williams is dying. We need to know what poison he used so that we can get the antidote," Susan cried impatiently, not interested in the back-and-forth banter.

"Name it!" The man growled at Ivan who laughed humorlessly when he heard that.

"If my wife dies, your son dies too. If you want him to live, then the physician must come with me," Ivan said as he glared at Susan with hatred gleaming in his eyes.

He wished she was the one dying and not Williams. She was the cause of everything that had happened. If she had not stood in his path, Luciana would have followed him quietly and he wouldn\'t have had to fight Harold in the first place.

In anger, the older man attacked Ivan with his sword and they both began to fight as Ivan tried to keep up with him even though he was yet to recover from his fight with Harold.

"WILL YOU LET WILLIAMS DIE AFTER ALL HE DID TO KEEP LADY LUCIANA ALIVE?" Susan yelled in anger but quickly placed a hand on her throat and coughed when it began to hurt from Ivan\'s strangulation earlier.

Susan watched in worry as her father fought with Ivan. She tried to use the distraction to run away with the physician, but Ivan\'s guards did not let that happen. And that just started another round of group sword fights that almost made Susan have a panic attack as she remembered the last fight and all the casualties which includes her brother. She wasn\'t sure how Alvin was faring yet and Luciana was also hurt. She didn\'t want anyone else, especially her father to get hurt.

With every step she took with the scared physician, there was a guard trying to stop them and another guard attacking the one trying to stop them. Susan knew the only reason she was still alive was because of who she was. Otherwise, Ivan\'s vicious guards would have struck her down.

As soon as her father knocked Ivan\'s sword out of his hand, the sword fell to the ground and slid to where Susan was.

Susan looked down at the sword and then she looked at Ivan who was still persistent in the fight even if he had no weapon now.

With hatred filling her eyes, she picked it up with her two hands with only one goal in mind.

Seeing how Ivan was distracted in trying to dodge the man\'s attacks so he wouldn\'t get slashed with the sword, Susan raised the sword with all her might and slashed at Ivan\'s back, just like he had done to Alvin.

Every fight stopped immediately and even her father looked at her in horror but Susan kept her angry eyes on Ivan, who turned around to look at her in disbelief.

As soon as he did, she growled and with every strength she could summon, she slashed at his right leg before he could dodge it or before anyone could stop her.

Ivan wailed and fell to the ground and blood poured out from both his hand and leg.

"It\'s fine if you do not want to tell us the poison you used. But if Williams is going to die, then you should as well die with him." She said darkly.
