His Queen

Chapter twenty seven

Amal's POV.

"Amo" My uncle finally said once he turned around and looked at me, his mouth flew open as if he just couldn't believe his eyes. Looking at him I saw that he had light brown eyes and black hair, which was completely different then mine, me and him looked nothing alike however the blood that was running through our vein was the same.

"Uncle?" It came out more of a question, the more our eyes stared at one another the more memories flooded into my mind.

"You know that I'm no longer a child you don't have to call me Amo because it's emberassing" although I was the princess and no one dared to laugh at my face the way my uncle called me Amo just made it sound like he was talking to a small baby who was just born.

"I know you are no longer a baby but you will always be a baby in my eyes" coming close to me my uncle brought his hand up to my head and started to mess my blonde hair.

Not wanting him to carry on with that, I gave him a tight hug as I covered my face with his chest, he would always mess my hair then my mother will come and force me to brush it, which I hated.

"I love you my sweet Little Amo" even though I repeatedly tell him not to call me that he still does, however knowing how much he loves me always brought a smile to my face.

"I love you too Uncle"

Not thinking to much about it I lifted my dress up a bit and started to run to my uncle, when he saw me running he stood in his spot but he opened his arms so that I collided with his chest.

The moment my face met his chest I started to cry, I cried for all the many years I was away from him, I cried for my parents death, I cried for the situation that I was currently in. I no longer had the strength to hold my tears in. All my uncle did as I cried was slowly stroke my scarf, as he held me tightly towards his body.

"Can you give us some alone time please" not bothering to look up to see what the others will say I just carried on crying, however I could hear footsteps making their way past me, which indicates that they were leaving.

Once I heard the door shut behind me, my uncle brings his hand and puts it on my shoulder as he pushes me slightly away from him.

"A Queen should never show her weakness to the world" was the first thing he said, however I knew he wasn't mad because their was a smile on his face.

"But I'm not a queen" was all I could say as I started to wipe the tears of my face, although I was meant to be the next heir my uncle took the throne so until I get it back I am not a queen.

"You were born to be a queen and you will be a queen, I was only the king because I thought you were all killed but now that you are alive...." but before he could say anymore I cut him of.

"I don't want to be a queen just yet, I want to get my memory back first...I missed you so much" I once again go in for a hug and he does what he always does when I hug him, he tightly wraps his hands around me.

"You don't know how much I missed you, the day you went missing I was looking for you and your parents like a mad man" he stopped talking and once I looked up at him I see him staring at the distance as if he was remembering that day.

"I was so angry so sad when I saw your parents dead body, I don't know who killed them since your father had a handful of enemies for being the king" shaking his head slightly he starts to speak as he looks down at me.

"But once I couldn't find you I knew you might still be alive so I did everything in my hand to look for you but it was as if the earth grew a mouth and just swallowed you because you were no where in sight" he slowly starts to cherish my cheeks, I unintentionally bringing my face closer to his hand, just being around my uncle I felt so much safer.

"How did you end up in the woods, Masin told me that you were found in the forest?" Bringing my hand up I took his which were holding my cheeks as I brought it down to my side. Looking around the room I was looking for somewhere comfortable were me and my uncle could sit down and talk.

"Let's have a seat first" finally I see at the corner of the room a black leather couch right beside a window.

"We were driving to meet dads friend as you would have already knew" he nods his head as an indication for me to carry on. " when we were on our way there, my father got stung on his neck causing him to fall asleep as he was driving" I carried on telling my uncle everything that I remembered until the day that I was found in the woods.

"Do you know the full name of the man who kidnaped you?" Was the first thing that my uncle asked after I finished telling the story,  slowly nodding my head I answered his question

"Did you just say Suliman Hussein?" I quickly nod my head, by the look on his face my parents weren't the only ones who knew him. Not wasting anymore time I quickly asked my uncle how he knew him, but all my uncle did was shake his head as he stared deeply into the distance.

"That is a story for another day, let's go back to the other main reason why I am here" upon hearing him say that my heart instantly dropped to my stomach because I knew that no matter how long I delay this the outcome will still be the same.

"I know that I shouldn't be asking you this straight away but for the last couple of days in the kingdom we gave been at war with our neighbour and to leave the kingdom for so long it'll only benefit my enemies" nodding my head I understood that my uncle wasn't going to be here for long, but how long is for long.

" I will have to leave after tomorrow, I know it is so soon as I would love to spend so much time with you like all times but it is just not possible right now" my mouth dropped open the moment I realised how long my uncle will be staying with me.

"So that means my nikkah will be..." But before I could finish of my sentence my uncle nods his head and we both say tomorrow in unison.

"But why don't you look happy? I thought that upon hearing this you would be jumping up and down" putting on a fake smile I look down at my hands. How can I be happy when I'm being forced to do something I don't want?

"Do you not want this?" Bringing his hand up to my chin I felt him lift my face up so that I was facing him " if you don't want to marry him or need more time just tell me, I will always be beside you Amo" hearing him say that I shook my head as tears fought their way down my cheeks.

As much as I wanted to tell him the truth I couldn't, because it'll only mean one thing; his death.

"Amo why are you crying?" I could hear concern in his voice as he tries to wipe my tears "tell me what is wrong and I will make it right, there is nothing more important to me then you my precious little Amo" the more he spoke the more the tears just flooded out my eyes. I couldn't bear to see his death, I already have my parents death in my hand I don't want my uncles one now.

Shaking my head I try to reassure him that I was fine, as the conversation that I had with Salma slowly started to make its way into my mind. Slowly wiping my cheeks from the tears I tried to stop crying so that I could give my uncle my final answer, it finally took all my strength to muster up courage to say the complete opposite of what I was currently feeling.

"I do want to marry Masin"
