King Ambrose had no time to feel anything after he pulled out the sword and Méah fell on the marble floor bathed with her own blood. Instead he faced Doctor Bai with full determination. "I won the challenge. Now you can give me my daughter as what you said. The deal is done," King Ambrose said, suddenly feeling the effects of his injuries. He has been losing too much blood that he could now hardly stand steadily without depending on his sword. He had used it as a walking stick while dragging the wounded leg of him. But Doctor Bai didn't seem to listen. He was just stuck staring at Méah's body in a pool of blood. It was like he was observing it carefully, waiting for something to happen. King Ambrose noticed this. And said, "I have struck her deep by the heart. You're now looking at a cold corpse." He then glanced at the princess's situation. Now the purple wrap of glowing ropes was only half an inch after it would finally cover the princess's nose. "You have to give me back my daug

"Méah?" Princess Jiyanah said in weak, husky voice. Méah just smiled a little at the princess as she don't have any idea what she should say. A part of her was scared and worried if the princess would find out that she had hurt the king, her father. After a long time of restraining herself, Queen Jainah lose thoughts of everything and rushed to approach the king's unconscious body with Chah following from behind her. She has been aching to check him for eternity and now, she was unstoppable. Although Queen Jainah still find Méah dangerous despite after killing Doctor Bai, she saw the soldiers' arrival as a huge help. With them she hoped Méah would not dare to harm her. "Your majesty..." she whispered, not intending to let her sobs out. She sat down with her knees and took the king on her lap. Warm tears were falling from her eyes unto the king's face. "Somebody bring the king to his chamber!" Five soldiers obediently cam

Princess Jiyanah could only grit her teeth in silence. She was holding herself back to avoid making the queen even more furious at her. Besides, she was already relieved that the queen did not make such any big deal of her going out of the mansion while being grounded. However, she did not feel like apologizing at all. The whole place plunged into silence for a moment until they heard the door opened and footsteps came following in. Before they could turn to look who was it, the person was already behind them. "Your majesty," the person said and bowed at their presence. Both of them looked at the person and saw that it was Roy, the general's right hand man. "Have you done it?" Queen Jainah asked as she stood up to face Roy formally. "Yes, your majesty. And you're right." "Very well then, proceed to the next step." "Right away, your majesty. I am taking my leave for n

King Ambrose was enjoying the the mesmerising morning view out the window where his bed lies next to. While being flooded with random thoughts, he came to a realization that he had two near death experience in just one month. He still couldn't fathom the fact that the feared history is really going to happen. The ancient history that turned into a legend and then to myth until only a few remained to believe its existence. And now those who do not believe will have to ponder hard on their thoughts. But whether they believe it or not, nothing escapes from what was written on the ancient prophecy. "Here it is. The book that I am telling you about. I found this before the royal library was renovated. It was supposed to be burnt along with the trash since it looks so old and torn. I guess my love for books saved it." Queen Jiyanah's voice captured King Ambrose's attention. When he turned around, her saw her with a book covered in thick, brown paper. She then sat on the edge of the bed.

"Are you sure you're going to be fine?" Princess Jiyanah asked Méah with worried eyes. "I don't know. But I will try to be," Méah replied honestly. "I don't know why mother have to do this to you." Princess Jiyanah sighed at Méah's answer. Of course she couldn't help not to worry about her. "Don't worry too much. I will make sure to carry out this task successfully," Méah assured the princess because from the looks of her, she's stressfully worried. "Alright." The princess nodded lightly at her. She then turned to the group of a hundred soldiers behind her. "Listen everyone. Whatever happens, you are not to leave your brothers. You have to stick with each other. Together you will stand strong. The fight of one is the fight of all," she told them to remind them and of course to make sure they won't abandon Méah if something happens on their way knowing that some of them might still have the influence of the queen's past plan which was to lea
