The Commander's Power

Chapter 11

In the Kingdom

"My King I brought you your medications please take them this time." The King's right-hand man the Earl Marshal said as he carried a silver tray into the throne.

King Markus huffed and rolled his eyes at the same time.

"You treat me like a little child if I don't want to take those pills (he points at the tray with his finger) I don't have to."

"My King please you need to take them. I don't want anything to happen to you."
The Earl Marshal cried out pleading with his King Marus.

"Fine, fine I'll take them, bring the medication over here."

The Earl Marshal brought the silver tray over to him.

The King picked up the Pills with his right hand and placed them into his mouth.

The Earl Marshal then passed a cup of water over towards the King to drink to help swallow the pills down.

King Markus's sickness has been a secret, only the medicine man and the Earl Marshal had none about it as do King orders.

Not even Elijah knew that the King was sick.

To keep the King safe this was the only way to do so because if anyone got word that the King was sick his life and the thrown would be in danger.

King Markus had a lot of enemies who would love to Dethrone him and rule in his place.

A gloomy look was on King Markus's face after he had drunk his water.

The Earl Marshal noticed the King's face and asked "Are you alright my King?"

The King looked at the Earl Marshal and then looked around the throne room.

"Was it really worth it?" The King asked.

"Was it really worth what my King? I don't understand what your trying to say to me."

King Markus shook his head. "It's nothing, you wouldn't understand."

Deep down the King was feeling lonely.

He missed his first wife very much.

She was his first and only love in his life but she had passed away many years ago due to childbirth.

FlashBack

Young Markus at the age of 18 years old.

He was having a heated conversation with his father King Patrick in the thrown room.

"Father, why do you disagree so much with my marriage?"

King Patrick smacked his son in the face hard leaving a red handprint onto his face.

"You fool you married and even got that not Worthy woman pregnant. Are you stuiped? How did I even have a son like you? Look at your younger brother he is only 16 years old and has done more for this Kingdom than you ever have. If you were not my firstborn I would have passed my Kingdom down to him."

Markus did not shed a tear, he was used to his father's verbal and physical abuse.

"You talk about me getting a not so worthy woman pregnant but what about you? Isn't my brother a bastard child? You slept with his mother on multiple occasions. That's how he came into this world. You cheated on my mother and had her beheaded for false accusations saying she is the one who had the affair. You needed to get rid of her so that you can bring that woman in and your bastard child." Markus was Furious as he spoke to his father.
