King ► N.RK

11

"Greetings Your Majesty." I said before I put the tea on the his table.

"How was the palace today?" He ask before he took a sip of the tea that I make.

"It's still the same since you collapsed your majesty."

He just took a deep breath, his face and reaction are showing a sign of not feeling well. Based from his look he was feeling some pain from his body.

"Should I call a doctor? A mage? I know you are feeling some pain ypur majesty." I said while panic was visible on my voice.

"We shouldn't let anyone knows my condition only you can enter my room." He said before he cough.

"But how can I cure you? I don't know if what is your sickness?" I said in a low voice since I'm really clueless on what should I do.

"I can still get well, I just need a proper rest.Don't panic , I will get better." I know he was just trying to lighten up my mood. I felt something that somehow warm my heart.

Hours had passed and the King was already asleep that's why I decided to go out of his room , maybe I should just walk toward the palace garden , It's been long since I tried relaxing just a little bit.

A smile authomatically came out of my lips when I saw all the beautiful flower that can only be seen in this place.

"Some of you are dry because of the heat of the sun, I should water you a little." I said while looking at the flowers.

As I delicately watered the wilting flowers, a soft breeze whispered through the garden, carrying the scent of blossoms. The tranquility of the moment allowed my thoughts to wander back to the King's condition. I couldn't shake off the worry gnawing at me.

Suddenly, footsteps interrupted my reverie. It was Lusi with Ni-ki .

"Greetings Your Highness, and Lady Lusi" they just both nod at me, lusi then gave me a meaningful smirk before she speak "I heard about the King's illness. How is he ?" I don't know how I can andwer them I made sure they can't know the Kings condition.

"Your majesty is now doing fine and feeling alright thank you for your concern my lady." I said before I bow.

I look at them both puzzled , Why do they look so close right now? It somehow makes me feel weird.....it angers me a little.

Lusi's smirk and Ni-ki's presence together stirred up a storm of suspicion and concern in my mind. Could she and jake be plotting something behind closed doors? And why was Ni-ki, who knew Lusi's true nature, seemingly aligned with her?

The uneasy feeling in my gut only intensified as I watched Lusi and Ni-ki exchange glances, their camaraderie raising more questions than answers. Despite my best efforts to maintain composure, the anger simmered beneath the surface, fueled by the realization that something was amiss in the palace.

"I'll get going now, I forgot I needed to do something." I said coldly before I left them both on the garden.

While walking away I felt some dark shadow that was lingering around the palace, is it a black magic? Does someone used a dark magic? I know I'm not from this place but I can say someone use some black magic because suddenly everything feels so off and heavy on this palace .

With a heavy heart, I returned to the King's chambers, everything makes no sense. Even the way that Ni-ki was with that girl.

I didn't realized I fell asleep while thinking about what can happen.

"Oh,You are already awake." I heard the King's voice that's why I fix myself immediately.

"Sorry, I fell asleep your majesty." I said before i look at him. He looks a little better now unlike before he fell asleep.
