Forsaken King

The queen awakens

"Your majesty the queen is awake!"

The servant announced in a rush making the King jolt out from his throne, and towards the hidden chamber.

"Misha."

His voice filled with hope, meeting the queen's gaze. She greeted him with a calming smile.

"Your safe.." the king breathed under his breath while hugging her tightly.

"You are?.." the queen whispered, her body stiffen from anxiousness. "Where am I?" -the queen continued in an almost panicked voice.

"Misha it's me Arthur your husband.."He felt a heavy lump in his voice it felt as if the guilt piled up on his throat wanting to come out. "don't you remember me?.."

As he said those words he couldn't look her in the eye, he musters his courage to look her in the eyes only to see an unfamiliar look.

"That's impossible I am the goddess embodiment I cannot get married.." Misha reasoned.

"You don't remember me?" The king uttered reaching out to Misha.

"I'm sorry I think there must have been a mistake." She replied jolting her hands away.

"It's okay Misha you'll remember me your hurt right now we've been married for a decade we even have a son-"Arthur pleaded stopping halfway.

"We have a son..?" Misha uttered under her breath, curious as to what the unfamiliar man said.

"he's.." he stops, too pained to continue. What would Misha say if she finds out the truth, will she hate me?

Just as the king was about to continue the door opened violently revealing Hyekel.

"Your majesty.." he stops greeting the King and queen.

"Yes this is our son Hyekel.." he continued hiding the truth. Hyekel looks at him knowingly nodding at him in agreement.

Slowly Hyekel moves toward the queen bending his knees to kiss her hand... "I have a son.." tears slowly drip on her face tracing Hyekels face. "I'm sorry...I don't remember you or your father." She cried.

Hyekel smiled placidly continuing the act "It's okay mother I understand I'm here to take care of you."

She smiled as a reply holding his forehead against his as she holds onto his face.

"Take a rest mother you're not well yet." Hyekel continued uncomfortably removing her hands.

"You want me to act as Raphael?" Hyekel hissed in annoyance?

"It's for the queen's well being she cannot handle the loss right now.." the king replied obscured to Hyekels anger.

"You want me to live as another person.." he mumbled bitterly under his breath.

"Just for now, when the time comes and she's finally well I'll tell her the truth.." he continued trying to convince him.

"I understand I'll follow your orders.." he sighed in defeat.

The King smiled pleased at his answer patting his back.

-Well, won't you look at that Rafael I get to live as you now? Hyekel snickered.
