The Lost Dynasty

Chapter 23

"May I speak with Amita?" Owais eyes skimmed past the side of Saif ear to see Amita in her bridal wear, in attempt to cover her face with her dupatta (scarf).

"Oh she busy- "

"Let me in, Saif"

"Ok"

Saif was easily defeated as he stood to the side without putting up a fight, granting him passage. Owais glanced at her extravagant attire from top to bottom and his eyes never left her "I would like to speak to her alone". The Dr wavered and checked at Amita wondering if she was going to be in trouble, but she gave him a reassuring nod. "That's fine I have to look for someone anyway" Saif said in a fast pace before running out to find Kyda. The Dr faced his mentee one last time before exiting his own office slowly and closing the door, hoping she will not gain a painful ending, whether it is physical or mental. Owais made sure the door was closed before he glanced at the bride confirming that she was the one at the altar are not the assigned female (Rayha).

"So... we are married"

He spoke in a blunt tone.

Amita tears up and fell onto her knees as she trembled for forgiveness "FORGIVE ME!" She wailed. She didn't know how the fate will end for her.

Would she be tortured to death as a punishment?

Would she have to leave the palace and go back to a family who are struggling to make a living income?

What if she never become the doctor like her great mentor?

So many possible outcomes and non in her favour. Still, Owais stared at her with no emotion and his face.

Pretty normal for him, it was always hard to read him. This portrayed him to be mysterious and intriguing to Amita, another reason to way she was so intrigued by the royal Prince.

"Amita please stand"

He said in a monochromatic tone. Amita was still shaking like a leaf, however, she slowly looked up to face him with her swollen yet innocent doll like eyes, the same eyes Kyda was memorised by.

"I can't have my wife and future Empress on her knees like that" he coughed lightly as he slightly looked away, attempting to hide his tinted cheeks. Amita eyes almost popped out due to the great shock produced by his words "E Empress?".

━━━━━━༻✧༺━━━━━━

Kyda stormed down the hallway. She had no clue where she was going and how she was going to get ... anywhere.

Maybe to the courtyard?

Nah, the wedding was held there.

How about the Bazaar?

Nope, almost lost a limp.

She continued to walk down the hallway as she glanced over the balcony to see the wedding celebrations, witnessing the Empress on the stage, being the only royal family there. She had a stone-cold face on, not pleased by the turn of events. Kyda gulped to herself realising what she had done could be either for the best or for the worst. At the worst possible time, she was in her own state of mind. Her wrist was caged in someone grip and twirled her, as if it was a dance of tango, just to face the culprit.

"What, Saif?"

Saif was catching his breath "Kyda... please don't be like this" but Kyda eyes scanned him as her ears processed his words.

He was right.

Why is she like this?

She was the one he ruined his brother wedding and possible the history Empire.

Was her pride so heavy that it was crushing her soul?

Her train of thoughts were interrupted by a sudden loud bang of a gong, echoing from the rooftop. Kyda looked around all confused and noticed when she looked over the balcony to see the wedding celebration, the attendees were talking to each other with great concern.

The Empress became stiff.

Kyda then felt Saif grip loosened till he was no longer holding her "What is that? Wedding bells?" Kyda asked. Saif lips began to slightly quivered, his eyes became slightly glossy, and his complexion clearly exhibited his heart sinking. "Saif?" Kyda took a step forward and took his hand into her and brushed it with her thumb like he did to hers. Saif took a deep breath "I need to check on someone" he spoke before running down the hallway.

"Saif?... WAIT, WHATS HAPPENING!"

━━━━━━༻✧༺━━━━━━

Kyda and Saif witnessed a huge crowd pushing and shoving each other and yelling, attempting to get inside the Emperor's chamber. "What's going on?" Kyda freaked out as she looked up at Saif as he stood there in pure shock, his posture was stiff. The Empress ran towards Saif "BETA! (son)" this did not seem to be one of her tricks up her sleeves. Saif ran up to her and gave her a hug as she weeps, she was truly distraught. Kyda could tell, Saif wanted to release his tears, but he couldn't, he cant display any weakness now that his mother needs him, his kingdom needs him.

"MOVE!... I SAID MOVE!" a voice bellowed from behide Kyda.

Kyda faced to find a furious Owais marching his way towards the crowd "HAVE YOU NO RESPECT!" Amita followed her husband closely behide. Kyda eyes were glued to Amita and Owais but Amita gave Kyda a weak reassuring smile and they hurriedly ran into each other embrace, not releasing each other as they watched Owais take control of the chaotic crowd. Kyda face Amita "What's happening? Is it because of what we did?" fear was present in her tone. Dr Adil came forward to the girls and placed a hand on Amita shoulder.

"May the Emperor be granted the highest rank in Paradise"
