After one week:
"My lord! What has happened to you?" The queen asked in worrisome to the king who was now laying in the bed coughing historically.
The king was unable to answer, he was constantly coughing. "Oh my...MAIDS!! " the queen shouted for her personal maids. They came running inside the enormous room.
"Yes, my lady." The maids bowed at the royal pair.
"Go quickly, and call our royal physician, and also call the prince. " she ordered, and the maids were immediate to follow them.
"My lord, my lord...drink the water. " she offered the king some water in a glass cup. The king was now breathing heavily.
This was happening from the five days. The physician was meeting the king regularly to keep in check his health, but nothing was working.
He might be stressed about the upcoming war, that's what all the people thought...but the real reason was something else.
"My lady, my lord." The physician came ,almost running, he bowed before his king and queen.
Without saying anything, he was on his work, he sat on the edge of the king's bed carefully and checked the pulse of the king, he checked his eyes and checked everywhere else, where it was required, and he seemed concerned.
"Is everything alright?" The queen asked the physician. He opened his mouth to something, but Blaze came before it.
"Mother! How's father?"He asked his mother, who was now getting emotional in front of him.
"Prince. " The physician bowed at him.
"How's my father, Mr James? " the prince asked, his voice laced with concern.
"I think..." he started but paused ,he looked at the king who was watching him with anticipation to listen his answer.
"I'm afraid we should talk in private, prince Blaze. " the physician said, now looking at Blaze.
"Why?" The king said, his voice was nothing but whisper.
"I'm afraid that-"
"Just say it in front of me, like a man. I'm your king I can take whatever it is." The king was now frustrated.
James stood up from the bed, he lowered his head, and clasped his hands together.
"My lord...it seems that...t-that you don't....you don't have much time -"
"MR JAMES!" He was cutted off by Blaze's sword pointing towards him, when James looked up, he gasped, because of the sword and also because Blaze was looking angry.
"I-i apologies, prince Blaze. "
"Get your sword off from him, Blaze. " the king interfered. "He's just doing his job." He said coughing. Then he moved his attention to the shivering physician. "You can go ,James." And James was gone in a second.
"Blaze..." the king murmured and signals to Blaze. He went to his father, sitting near him.
"Father..." Blaze said, his eyes teary. And the queen was already sobbing.
"Blaze...I don't have much time, I can feel it ,trust me . And I want you to sit on the throne, before I die. I want to see it with my eyes. I wanted to see you have a family, but I can't force you for that...so take the throne so atleast I would be in peace that my kingdom is in safe hands. " the king holds Blaze's hand.
"Can you do it? for me, at least son." The king pleaded to his only child. And Blaze being emotional that time, didn't knew what to answer, so he said yes.
The king was happy, but someone was happier.
