The blue eyes

CHAPTER 15

     Two months later.....

The famine in Agnam was becoming too much, people die everyday because of hungerer. Only those who were rich and those who were at the palace were still able to survive. The queen became worried because each day, things get worse. She was scared that all the people in the Kingdom might die.
  
   Each day, she summoned the priest if he has gotten the solution but everyday  his answer was always negative.

  "Mother, what are we going to do" Said Felicia one evening,when she was with her mum.

  " I don't know my dear"

  "If things go like this I can't wait to get married to my fiance and leave this kingdom" she said, her voice shaking in fear.

"Felicia, you know I can't stop you but I want you to wait for sometime"

  "We are still alive only because we have the money to import in food but what if the money finishes, mother?"

  "I trust the deities, they will tell us the solution"

  "Okay mother, I will head back to my chamber now" she said and left the room leaving her mother to thinking.

  *******
   
   "When are you going to stop going there,brother"

  "Going where? He asked pretending not to know what his sister was talking about.

  "Going to that place, you know they won't bring down the gate no matter what,just relax and calm down" she said and clung to his left hand " She will be fine and I know one day she would get out of there"

  "I know but I can't wait, it's been two months now,Tasha. I miss her" he said with teary eyes.

  "I miss her too brother just wait and stop going there it may be dangerous for you" She said worriedly.

     He didn't response.

  "Let's just pray for her safety" she said and he nodded.

   "I'll be going back to my chamber, he said and left the field.

*******
  
  Isabel touched her belly as she walked amidst the flowers. She caressed the flowers with her other soft hand with affection. Although, she doesn't like the child she was carrying but she can't possibly hurt the innocent baby.
 
  She cared for herself sometimes and sometimes she does otherwise. Her affection towards the baby was not stable.

  " I hope you love those flowers,my love" said a familiar voice from behind.

   She didn't bother to look back to know who it was because she already know.

  She ignored and continued. Just then a soft hands was wrapped around her waist. She frowned and took back the hands.

  "Until when will you show me love?" the voice asked in a pleading tone.

  "Until the day you get me out of here" she replied harshly.

  "You know I can't"

  "Then I shall hate you forever" she said and continued caressing the flowers.

   He grabbed her hands and pushed her towards him. Their body were so close that they could feel each other's breath. He was about to press his lips unto hers when she spat on his face and left angrily.

    "My queen, the deities has shown me the way out. The solution has been revealed to me" the priest said happily

  "Really? What is it? What's the solution" the queen asked happily and anxiously but the priest face went down immediately.

  "We need to sacrifice someone with blue eyes"
