The Lost Dynasty

Chapter 25

Kyda sat outside the Kings Chambers with her back leaning against the door, staring into space.

The numbness began to take effect all over her body and emotion.

"Yeh meri ghalti hai" she whispered to herself.

(Translation: it's my fault)

Dr Adil looked at her "What did you say? I didn't hear" believing she was speaking to him.

Kyda quickly recuperated herself and sat up with less than a half an effort of a smile "Nothing".

The Empress wailing soon dialled down. Amita stood still with heartbreak in her eyes as she stared at the door.

How her, now husband, must be feeling.

How he had now gained a wife but lost a father.

Is that the price he had to pay for Amita?

Is that what triggered him to be such a heartless ruler?

The old man noticed Amita in a dazed state "Amita, what's the matter?".

Kyda looked up to see if Amita would need to be consoled. If so, Kyda would then have to mask her emotions, not like it's the first time for her and after all her grandad did pass away. "I just feel helpless... I'm his wife now and I can't do anything to comfort him" Amita continued to stare at the close doors. The old man glanced at Kyda and Kyda glanced back. Before their eyes returned to Amita "You know you're the future Queen, right? ... doesn't that mean you can do what you want?" Kyda commented. Amita eyes widen by the realisation. "Well, you can't do anything you want, but Kyda is mostly right" the wise old man added "You will be the future Queen".

"But only family members can enter into the late Emperor chambers" Amita sighed but Dr Adil and Kyda stared at her in disbelief.

Does she not follow?

"Amita.... You are a royal family member, you married into it, like 2 hours ago" Kyda stood up and open the door.

"B but the Empress?"

Amita cannot be blamed for fearing the Queen, she still had no clue. "I guess it's not a great time for her to know I guess" Kyda spoke as she rubbed the back of the neck. Dr Adil stepped forward "You have just as much right to be in that room, like the Empress" Amita eyes increased in pure shock.

Was he really taking her side over the royal family... the one who served for many decades?

"You are the wife of the future Emperor, the bearer of the future heir and the future Empress of this Empire" the old man continued "You have every right... Begum (Princess)". Kyda was amazed by his words "Woa are you really gonna support Amita over the royal family? ... that's amazing" he sighed and faced Amita "Technically I'm not since Amita is part of the royal family so it's not treason" he justified himself. Kyda nodded with a low attempt to hide her smile "Oh yea... it's not because you care about Amita more than the royals". "Don't you have a Princess to take care of" the old man rolled his eyes. "Princess?" Kyda stared at him in pure confusion till her eyes widen "RAYHA!" she panicked as she ran down the hallway completely forgetting about her. Dr Adil and Amita watched her unfold in pure stress as she turned around the corner and vanished.

The old man wasn't surprised, it was Kyda.

Brilliant yet naive.

He turned his attention back to Amita "Begum" Amita nodded no "Its Amita" he places his hand on top of hers for comfort "It's now Begum and your life will change dramatically... you can't hide from this; you now have the power to change the future that Kyda had predicted to something more positive. You will be the first female/Empress to be a doctor and will be a role model for all women, whatever their status might be... now make history and make it better then what Kyda has told us, Beti (darling)" he spoke confidently, giving Amita reassurance "Can you still call me, Amita?". Dr Adil lips curved up and nodded "Of course, if the Begum wants me to" he teased, of course making her laugh.

He watched Amita grew up in the palace.

Her coming here as a child, working hard to provide her family back at the village and now she was a walking proof of a fairytale come true.

━━━━━━༻✧༺━━━━━━

Kyda burst through the office door of Dr Adil, exposing herself to the screeching sounds of Princess Rayha "GET ME OUT OF HEREEEEEEE!".

Kyda started at the shaking closet that was containing the Princess. Kyda trail of thoughts came to play "Maybe if I keep her in there longer, she may calm do- "

"GET ME OUTTTTTTT!" She screamed like a wild animal.

"...I should get her out" Kyda told herself and with much care and distances. Kyda leans forward in attempt to distance herself from the Princess and herself and unlocked the chest.

Princess Rayha fell flat on her face causing Kyda to lunge back for dear life.

Rayha looked up at Kyda with sinister eyes "You" she spoke in a demonic tone "M me?" Kyda points at herself.

"YOUUUUU!" She screeched out like she was some monster.

And Kyda did something that anyone else would have done.

Ran for her life.

Kyda ran straight into the hallways and went straight ahead with no sense of directional of where she was going.

However, Rayha ran after her as the same rate as a cheetah.

How can someone, who never did any work of labour be so active and fast?

"I'M GONNA HAVE YOUR HEADDDD!"
