Antara scoffed in shock and she stared at Anika in bewilderment.
The King is dead?!
No, He can never be dead!!
Never!
“What are you talking about?, See Anika, if this is a joke, please stop it, The King can never be dead, Never, I thought…”
“How did you expect me to joke with such an expensive issue?, The Kin is dead, Believe it or not, He’s Dead and he’s never waking up again, Alan just went to confirm it in the hospital, He arrived few minutes ago”
“Are you sure of what you’re saying?” She asked trembling and Anika nodded consecutively.
” Then, I’m dead, If Alan became the King and Lana as the Queen, Then this palace will become unbearable for me” She muttered dejectedly and Anika sighed.
“Stop saying that, You can never be dead, Sh*t happens but you have to be the one to know how you will handle it, If Alan became the King today, Then your own child will become the heir or heiress, Try to think in the positive way”
” A commoner child with become the King Heiress?, Are you for real?, Have you gone nuts or what?, I have no life, I have no hope, I am a slave forever”
” Stop talking like this, Shit happens but I’m assuring you that things will become better soon okay” She assured and Antara smiled sadly and touch her tummy.
” I ate little from my food this morning, Will you like to eat the remaining or you will eat it later?”
“I will eat it now, Thanks a lot Anika, I really appreciate” She mumbled and wipe her tears with the back of her hand and Anika pull her into a hug.
“You’re welcome, Now let’s go to the room so you can ea and take a short nap” She said and drag her hand and they both walk to the room.
Later at Night…
Lana paced to and fro in the room as he expects his dad to pick the call, This is the fourth dial and he hasn’t pick it since.
“Pick the call Dad, just pick it ” She mumbled under her breath and after a while, He picked it’s ns Lana seethed in anger.
“Why can’t you….”
“I’m sorry, I slept off hours ago so I just woke up to see missed calls”
“Whatever, I want to break a sad good news to you ”
“What’s that? ”
“The King is dead, He coughed out blood this afternoon and gave up which is quite strange ”
“That shouldn’t be strange because I killed him ”
“What?!, You did what? ” He asked in shock and he chuckled.
“Dad, is that how desperate you are?, You killed a the King because of am ordinary Diamond? ” She asked almost moved to tears and He yelled at her.
“Have you gone nuts or what Lana?, I was trying to help here but you are proving it to me that I passed my boundaries because I want to help you, You will become the Queen and become powerful, You will be able to steal the Diamond without anyone suspecting you, I was trying to help you here but you turned it to something else, As if I’m the one forcing you to do all this”
“Dad” She mumbled with tears and he sighed.
“I’m sorry for yelling at you but you should understand me that I was only trying to help you because you’re my joy, I will do all things to make you happy Lana”
“It’s fine, Thanks , I’ll call you later” She mumbled and cut the call immediately.
She fell on the bed and thought about everything, If she’s able to become the Queen, she will command everyone in the palace, All the maids will be washing her feet and pay homage to her.
She will command them here and then which has been her only wish ever since she was born.
“Gosh” She mumbled under her breath and the door suddenly got opened.
She sprang up to her feet and faked her tears, She got furious when she realized it’s a maid.
“Have you got nuts or what?, How dare you barge into my room like that? ”
“I’m so sorry my Princess” She fell on her feet and bow her head.
“Why are you here?””
“The Prince sent for you, he told you to come over to it room now”
“Alright, tell him I’ll be there soon” She mumbled and the maid stood up to her feet and walk out of the room .
She prepped her face up and walk out of the room trying as much as possible to maintain a sad face even though it’s very hard for her to do but she have to comply since everyone is mourning.
She got into the room and met Alan sitting on the bed with his face down his legs looking so dejected.
He’s still much affected by his father’s death , He wish he can do anything to raise him up again but he’s dead already.
“My Prince” Lana called lowly and Alan clean his face before looking up at her.
“What are you doing here Lana?, What did you want?” He rasped angrily and Lana scoffed
“You sent for me” She said quickly and Alan sighed before touching his forehead.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, My mind went far away ”
“I’m sorry, About the death of the king, I’m sorry” She whimpered and Alan sighed .Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
“It’s fine, I will be fine, thanks for the care Lana”
“You’re welcome, Is there anything I can do for you ?”
“Not really but I called you here to inform you about the burial and coronation, You should start preparing for the appointment because it will be done very fast”
“Alright my Prince” She nodded happily.
