The Eternal Kingdom ✔️

Episode 28

Erica's POV.

The girls and I were in the garden having fun.

Sonia was done preparing a harvest which I've forgotten the reason for such. She was in the garden picking tiger lily for ma'am Lucy.

Lisa and Rosa were playing chase. Linda, Sia and some other maidens were clearing the garden. While I sat on the garden bench watching them all.

"You know, I don't understand all this preparation." I spoke up in true confusion.

"You don't know?" Linda queried in askance while packing up dead leafs.

"Obviously yes."

"The king and his armies went to battle with another kingdom." Sonia replied smelling the flowers and placing them in the basket.

"I never noticed," I honestly said.

"Yep. That's why we are preparing everything in order because Sire always, I meant always comes back victorious." Sia bragged.

That's good to know.

Rosa ran towards me and sat at the left side of the bench, panting.

"I'm exhausted from all the running Lisa. I wanna take a break," she said still panting heavily.

"I'm also tired too," Lisa also said, ran and sat down by my right while panting.

"You two are behaving like kids." Linda told them now heading out of the garden to throw away the dead leafs.

Suddenly, I could see maidens running out of the castle heading towards the main gate with a worried expression.

The last time I saw this sense, it was my mother aid maiden were all running to. So now who is in danger.

Linda also ran to us with worried expression.

"Girls, girls. The King is in severe pain. Lets go help." Linda told us all in a worried tone as they all ran towards the main gate.

At that moment a smile crawled up to my face. Finally, their so called king was beaten hands down. I appreciate that kingdom who did this.

But deep down I wanted it to be me not them.

I gradually worked up the gate to see Christian and Greg placing Steven on the wheel bed. What I saw made the smile on my face drop. Instead I was scared. I was scared of how Steven will loose his life in some minutes.

I don't exactly know why?

Steven was covered with his own blood. His right hand was missing so as his left leg. There was a wide hole on his stomach region. All his missing part were laying on the bed he was also lying on.

He was in so much pain, he was wailing in so much pain. Every maidens were crying, guards were gloomy with worry. Suddenly Steven sighted me as I could see pain and agony in his eyes.

He was definitely destroyed physically. He stared at me for help.

And then I felt his pain. I could feel how he was in pain.
Why do I feel such way?
This was the man I wanted to hurt so bad.
So why do I feel pity and rumors for him.

Immediately Emma started crying, ma'am Lucy started weeping. Inside of me grew a fear I didn't understand why?

He was rushed inside for personal healing and cure.

"Call the doctors, also call the herbalist. I most not loose my grandson." Ma'am Lucy yelled at us tears streaming down from her eyes.

Everyone became scared and confused.
I was also scared and confused for no reason. More like I was horrified to see Steven die.
