"Arthur" the king calls.
"Yes, your majesty" Arthur answers.
"Get my queen" the King orders in a weak voice.
"Right away, your majesty" Arthur says as he retires.
"Your majesty" Arthur calls as he bows.
The queen looks at Arthur "Is my king alright, Arthur?" her majesty asks as she places the book on the table.
"With a sad heart, I must say that the king's condition has gotten worst" Arthur answers, the queen sighs .
"What brings you here, Arthur?" her majesty asks, fearing the time has come, it is time for her beloved to departure.
"My king desires to talk to you, your majesty" Arthur answers.
"Do you think he might say his last words?" her majesty asks.
"Perhaps, I am not sure, your majesty" Arthur answers.
"Then let us be gone, I don't want to waist another minute of the king's life" her majesty says as she stands.
Arthur, the queen, and her company ladies head towards the king's chambers.
"My love, you required my presence" her majesty says as she bows.
"My queen, please get closer, everyone else leave us" the king orders.
"Yes, your majesty" every single servant chants, bows, and exits the room.
"Arthur" the king answers.
"My king" Arthur answers.
"Make sure nobody disturbs us" the king orders, his voice getting weaker by the minute.
"Yes, your majesty" Arthur says as he retires.
"What is it that disturbs your sleep, my king?" the queen asks.
"Have you reached princess Sarah?" the king asks.
The queen sighs "Princess Sarah doesn't desire to talk to me or anyone else" her majesty answers, the king sighs.
"I am afraid she has left me no other choice" the king says.
"Choice? My love, please, you cannot be implying..." "God only is eternal, my queen, I am afraid my time is near, so please do find it in your heart to listen to me, I will give you my last word" the king says, the queen bows her head, looking at her hands, she promised him to not cry, not in his presence, that was a promise she was going to keep.
"Arthur" the king calls.
"Your majesty" Arthur answers as he bows.
"Be the witness, my loyal servant" the king orders.
Arthur bows "Whenever you are ready your majesty" Arthur says.
The queen nods "I, Queen Denise Renaldo, under the power invested in me by the God in heavens and you, my beloved husband, King Charles Renaldo, here by declare that everything said by his majesty in this room it is to be done word by word, as for it is King Charles last word, I name you, Arthur, the witness of his majesty's words" her majesty says as her heart clenches with every single word.
"I will begin to dictate my last word by stating, who will rule Elareudland as soon as I move on to the presence of the Lord, I have sent my most loyal guards to retrieve Crown Princess Sarah and Prince Nicolai from the country they have selected as their refuge, after the death of my son, Crown Prince Philip Renaldo, but their mission has been unsuccessful, for so, I have decided to lift the burden of ruling Elareudland by herself off of Crown Princess Sarah's shoulders by naming my second son, Prince Caleb Renaldo as Crown Prince and his wife, Princess Jasmin as Crown Princess, effective immediately" the king says.
