Chapter 32: Day of disasters

Third person POV:

It was around eight in the morning when a servant knocked on the door to bring the king his breakfast. But there was no reply.

He knocked again and waited but then again no response.

He slowly opened the door to find the curtains were closed and the room was dark. He respectfully called for the king but didn't receive any answer. Placing the tray down on the table he slowly walked to the bed to wake the king.

It was strange since Nick would always wake up early in the morning.

The servant was now scared. Why isn't his majesty waking up? He walked up to push the curtains behind and tried to wake the young king again. He seems pale. What if he's sick?!

The servant hurried to tell the guards to get a doctor.

**********

The doctors were checking his majesty and had prohibited everyone from entering till they were done. Till now, the entire palace was well aware that the king is sick. But no one knew what illness had he fallen victim to.

Minerva rushed to the room but was stopped by the guards. She turned to see the queen and the princess were outside waiting for the doctors to report to the them.

"Let me see him!" She yelled at the guards who refused to let her pass. "Let me go." She struggle.

"Minerva. Stop." The queen ordered her and she immediately obeyed, bowing her head. Oh god what happened to him? I have to see him.

"What happened your highness?" The blonde asked the king's mother who was anxiously roaming back and forth in the hall while rubbing her palms together to wipe the sweat.

"I do not know. The doctors are attending him. It's been fifteen minutes still they didn't report anything." Gloria groaned in frustration.

"Relax Mother. He'll be fine." Dahlia comforted her mother.

Minerva looked at the young princess with awe. She's indeed beautiful. Minerva has never seen Dahlia before, because she never got out of room let alone palace. Even though she did see her at the ball in Roxanville , she couldn't get to talk to her.

"Minerva can you please get Paula? Tell her to come here this instant." The queen demanded.

Minerva bowed obediently and walked away in search of the supervisor.

*********

Minerva found Paula in the huge kitchen where all the chefs and servants were busily working.

"There you are Paula. I've been searching for you for so long and here you are munching cupcakes?!" Minerva angrily growled trying to catch her breath.

"What's the matter silly girl?" Paula rolled her eyes as she stuffed her mouth with another bite of the cake.

"His majesty is very sick and the queen is asking for you!" The girl yelled. "She's outside his majesty's room."

Paula paled and ran as fast as she could like her life depended on it. It actually did.

Minerva got herself a cup of water and gulped it in thirstily. Oh dear lord! Please make sure that Nick is alright.

"Minerva!" The blonde turned to find her best friend rushing towards her with a rolled up paper in her hand.

"Why are you running? Calm down." She said with a grin, seeing her crazy friend in a state of haste and restlessness.
