Vincy batted his eyes at where the Crown Prince had sat before vanishing into thin air, "He is becoming faster everyday, wow!" he was awed, he seems to know about Levy's identity, he wasn't shocked to see him gone but how faster he becomes with his abilities every single day, he refreshed himself and got down .
The coachman creased confused to see him getting down alone when he was surely aware that the Prince was in the carriage too. "Aaaarm.... young man ....I'm getting old lately but I'm pretty sure the Crown Prince was in there too" he said scratching the back of his head after taking a second look at inside the carriage.
Vincy rubbed his chin ..... "You must be hallucinating, the Crown Prince got down before me and rushed inside " he said in serious tone leaving no room for further discussion , the coachman looked the stairs and then back at him "Really! my eyesight must be the problem then don't mind me young man" , he rode away with the best .
"People are so easy to manipulate these days " murmured Vincy smiling, he was able to convince the coachman and the poor old man believed him so easily.
"Mother!!!" he shouted, shocked looking at his mother, she was laying weakly on the bed, with shaking legs he walked closer, with every single step he took his heart broke , she was too pale and very older than usual. She was the only beauty in his eyes bit now that glow on her face was gone, she looked deadly.Her thin lips became so dry and it felt like someone ripped them, her cute green eyes had dark circles around them, tears fell profusely now that he was standing before her.
He rubbed her cheek, he was shocked to feel that she was boiling "Mother ..... I am here, your son is here" he murmured between his sobs.
Queen Jene slowly opened her eyes, he could see how much hard it was for her to even do so cause her eyelids seemed to be too heavy, she blinked hardly trying to compose herself to see her son standing beside her. A faint smile crept on her face, she was glad that she won't die before seeing him again, "S..so..son , my .. son" she could hardly talk, by the look of it she had was drained with no energy left on her body. Levyndrion kept on sobbing very hard and painfully, she was fine when he left her so how could this happen all of a sudden? he wondered how long his mother was sick for him to find out about it only now, its only now that she was on her deathbed, and who dared to separate them by poisoning her?. He was boiling with anger, he wanted to kill everyone right this instant since the only person, the only family and happiness that was kept is also going to leave him too. Now he would be all alone within this huge castle.
"Mother how did this happened? how and why?" he clenched his fists, his eyes changed to gold before going back to normal, "I'm just unlucky my so ... I... don't have much ... time left, there is something you need to know " she tried her best to talk and she would talk even if it was her last breath, dhe suddenly coughed spitting blood, Levy gasped covering his mouth with his palm, she was even spitting blood? Just how much pain she must be in? , he took out his handkerchief and wiped her patched lips gently.
"Come closer son, I..... want to tell ...you something " she was panting, Levy didn't waste a second and learned closer to have his ear near his mother's mouth, just how did everything turn out to be this bad?. Queen Jene took a deep breath and whispered something to him, his eyes widened and his face was running with different emotions, tears continuously dropping down, he couldn't believe what his mother was telling him, he pulled away shooking his head in denial "NO! no don't leave mama! I can't handle everything on my own! please..... please " he leaned and and hugged his mother tightly he cried out loud now with no care of the world.
With so much attempt she finally lifted her hand and patted her son's back even for the last time, she was crying silently, and his painful sobs made her feel even more pain, "I just ..... wish I had even a short time to spend with ... you before dying son" he stopped crying and gasped to feel his mother's hand falling back to her side , he pulled away to see her staring at the ceiling without blinking or batting her eyes, "NOOO! mother no! you can't leave me too! you can't -.." he pulled her lifeless body into his arms and cried painfully, his world stopped and everything turned dark before his eyes, he felt dizzy and extreme pain in his heart , he fell down to the ground unconscious as the lifeless body fell back on the bed, the maids that positioned outside the Queen's room rushed inside, they were shocked to find Crown Prince laying on the floor unconscious "My Prince!" yelled one of them and ran to hin, she shook him with no response, she felt her heart racing as swear beads were forming on jer forehead.
"Go and call sir Hillary right this instant!!" she yelled to her fellows.
A minute later General Hillary came in with a perplexed look "What is going on here!? " his voice thundered in the whole room, the maids stood up and lowered their heads low due to being scared of the frightening scene they've just witnessed, "Sir ! .... the ... Crown Prince isn't responding " stuttered the maid who was holding onto Levy trying to wake him up, they all feared that if anything were to happened to him then they are to interrogated. Hillary examined Levy's pulse rate and he sighed thankfully he was still alive, he just fainted, he got up and cleared his throat as he glanced at the Queen "Tell the guards to take the Crown Prince to his quarters and ..." he paused giving them a smirk before he continued "No word of what happened here unless you are tired of living ! Understand!" his voice alone was enough to threaten them let alone his warnings. "Understood sir!" they all bolted from the room not wanting to end up being a sacrificial lamb .
Hillary looked at the lifeless body of the late Queen, clenching his fists.... he slowly made his way to her, she was a good woman to be killed so brutally, her body withered like a dead flower , he was there and witnessed the pain she was going through until today ..... she finally get to rest in peace.He would always blame himself for her death since he was responsible for her safety, had he suspected any of this before it came to this, once he let down his guard and this came like a storm. He closed his eyes tears falling down , his thoughts at the moment brought him back to the last time he got a chance to talk to the late Queen, he called for him
....
He was standing before her, while she was laying on the bed,she suddenly started to cough .... spitting blood, he was shocked, he picked up a handkerchief on the side of the bed which was possibly dropped by a mistake, he was going to wipe her lips when she held his wrist surprising him, she took a deep breath before opening her mouth "I don't have much tune Hillary, my son ..... please guide him, hebwoukd be hurt and broken once he finds out about this..... so please don't tell him until I die. I'm ordering you! he should be the King Hillary, the most powerful! only then Ximpton would very at peace, those people .....they will come for him but then he should be prepared beforehand, the time has come for him to know everything " she paused catching her breath "Your highness " he said with a sad tone , so she would really die ? "I.... I want you to tell him everything about the past, his origin, everything Hillary I entrust my son to you! you must be strong too for that to happen, much stronger!" she gripped onto his hand , Hillary was speechless, so this day finally came? he could only node to her ...
....
He shook his head to get rid of the memories, he closed her eyes then pulled a the bedsheet up to cover her until to her head. "I shall turn him into a better King and together we would bring them down! this is an oath my Queen!!" he gritted his teeth and exited the room, he strictly ordered for nobody to be allowed to enter the room without his consent.
His head was in a utter chaos but this shouldn't go out yet, even though the Palace has many ears, given the rightful heir is still unstable, he has to make sure he back o shape only then the processions of the funeral would continue, he walked passed the corridors with long strides heading the Crown Prince's quarters.
The heir of Ximpton, Levyndrion was now the only hope of this nation, if something ever happened to him too then .... he shook his head getting rid of his negative thinking.He couldn't even imagine Levy dying, just not yet, he has so much to do important responsibilities to carry out, so death is never an option for him. He was greeted by the guards that were at the main entrance, he gave them a nod and entered the room, the two female servants bowed at him they were positioned outside the room. He got inside and his eyes widened to see an empty room, the Prince! he was not on his bed and absolutely nowhere inside the room. "Guards!!!" he shouted and soon after the guards rushed inside, "Where the hell is the Crown Prince you useless beings!?" he was boiling with anger , how could he trust these people to guard him, he should've used his special force instead. "He never ... came out sir!" stuttered on the four guards out of worry, "Send out people to find him now! damn It!" he ordered and strode out of the room, he was even more confused now, where would the Crown Prince be at right now? He gritted his teeth with anger.
