Queen of the Sod (Throne Series #3) [COMPLETED]

Chapter 23

My hands are getting wet, my feet are cold, and my lips are getting dry. Kinakabahan ako ngayon dahil makikita ko na naman ang mga government official.

Queen held my hand as we walked down the corridor, and I stared at her because I felt his cold hand. Kahit siya kinakabahan din sa mga oras na 'to. Hindi naging biro ang naranasan n'ya sa mga kamay ng mga government official na 'to at hanggang ngayon galit si King Lance sa kanila.

"Basa ang kamay mo," saad niya at napangiti na lamanh ako sa sinabi niya. Shit. Nakakahiya dapat nagdala man lang ako ng panyo pamunas sa basa kong kamay.

"I know you're aflutter, even me, but we need to face them. Don't show them that you are tense. Ipakita mo sa kanila ang tapang mo. Harapin mo sila na puno ng tapang," saad niya at pagkatapos nang mga katagang 'yon ay nakarating na kami sa harapan ng pintuan na mabilis na binuksan ng mga gwardiya.

As we entered the room, all the people rose from their seats and bowed their heads to us in a sign of respect.

Naupo kami sa taas kung saan kita namin ang lahat ng tao na nasa loob nang quarter. Si Queen Ayisha at ako ay pina gigitnaan nila King Lance at Hades. Katahimikan ang bumalot sa buong quarter hanggang sa nagsimulang magsalita si King Lance.

"The unexpected lockdown in Scotland owing to a plague is the reason I've summoned you all here for this vital announcement."

"We are here to discuss and finalize the decision on this issue. The government officials want to keep Scotland in lockdown while me and the Queen want it to be open, but of course we will provide medical equipment for all people," saad ni Hades at marahan akong napatango.

"But if we keep Scotland open, the infected patient will surpass," saad ng isa sa mga government officials na naging sanhi ng bulungan.

"And if we keep Scotland locked down, the economy will decrease." Hades said.

"But King Hades, we need to make the people safe until our scientists and doctors find the cure for this disease." Saad nito at sumang-ayon naman ang halos kalahati ng government officials sa sinabi niya.
