Stranger To King: Eternal War 13
~ Mia ~ I felt a cold breeze throughout my body as my body shivered. My eyes opened as my vision became blurry. The nurse noticed my movements and helped me sit up. "What's going on?? What happened?? Why does it feel like I got hit by a horse??" I said. “My lady, your body went into stress, taking a health risk. You have been out for two days, and Princess Lily is doing what she can to protect the kingdom. We gave you time to recover.” “Thank you. What about my husband and brother?? How are they doing??” I asked while trying to collect myself. What I have gathered was that they are still in critical condition. As for my kingdom condition, I need to talk to Lily. I slowly got up from the bed and headed out. The nurse informed me about my parent’s involvement in the process– I must get there fast. I was escorted to the office, and we passed some windows; you could see the destruction in the distance. The gunfire rang through my ears, and the bodies of my citizens covered the groun

"Are you sure you are okay, Mia?? You haven't come out of the stock state yet?? I'm worried.” Lily said as she sat down on the couch. “I just wish I knew what was going on in the battles. This is too much for me to handle right now.” “You have to calm your mind, my lady. You know, causing more stress will and can harm. Plus, you are not the only one stressing.” Lily explained as she slid her hand through her hair. I was going to ask about her breaking point, but I remember what she is going through. Having your fiance on his deathbed is the worst thing possible. I know the feeling. A slight pressure went through my stomach. Lily knew something was wrong. "You need to eat," she said. I was okay for now, and the baby kicked. Her eyes shined bright when I said that, and she placed her hand on my belly. At first, Lily didn't feel anything, but her hand bounced. To handle life inside someone made her want to cry. She called the guards to grab me something to eat. We waited for the sun

Having nobody near me was heartbreaking– I usually have Anisel’s arm around my waist, but he is injured. Tears rolled down my eyes as I looked at the window seeing black smoke fill the air. I thought it was a dream at first. Out of nowhere, the guards came bursting through the door. "MY LADY!! MY LADY!!! BAD NEWS!! WE NEED YOU IN THE THRONE ROOM!!!" he shouted. Without hesitation, I got up and changed into some clothes. I got escorted to the throne room where Lily and my parents stood. I thanked the guard as I rushed in. "What is going on??" I curiously asked. Lily gestured to my throne. Should I be sitting down for this? The room came uneasy and full of curiosity. I wondered what the problem was. The west and south outer walls have been breached. Sera’s troops are headed to the middle level of the kingdom. The middle wall is where the crops are, our food supplies. “We have been informed that Hamon, Mihkal, Matthew, and Hazel are protecting those areas. We are unsure about their cu

~ Mia ~ “ANISEL!! You are supposed to be in bed, resting.” I said as I relaxed. “You are supposed to be resting as well, my love. So, why are you two even here?? You should be getting ready to leave this place.” How did he know that?? He was in a coma for days. He explained how a nurse briefed him about the plans for the royal family when he woke up. He came here to search for files that Hazel hid for him in case he recovered. To me, he still sounds sick and broken. I had to ask if he was hundred percent sure about his condition. If he weren’t, then he would not be here. This wasn’t about him or us– it was about Satia. We need help, and since he is up and running, he can fix it. As king, he has to protect. His words moved Lily. With all this talk, he still needed to rest and let us deal with it. Anisel can not be the only one. My husband ignored my words and went back to searching. Excuse me?? I went up to him and slammed my hand on the desk. I guess I wasn’t loud enough for him

We all were silent; we weren't sure how to comprehend the situation. I took Mia by the hand and told her to trust me. I know that she is scared, shit— I am too. But we have no other choice. “I do trust you— what if this goes wrong?? What if all the possibilities and paths are cut? I can't risk that chance.” Mia said. “Mia, I do not want you to think I am overpowering you. I didn't want you to think that I mistreated your authority. I'm doing what is best for Satia. Our people can not die over this.” I explained as I hugged her. Tears hit my shirt as she returned the favor. Before we left, she stopped me to ask something, but words couldn't come out. We are wasting too much time talking. We have to get back to the main office. When we arrived, the guards had everything ready for us—the maps and where everyone was located. Sera’s troops are almost to the towns. How are we going to warn them?? So let's recap: this girl, Sera, came to the kingdom looking for Joshua and me. Apparentl

~ Mia ~ I tried to get rest, but my body wouldn't let me. All I did was lie on my back. The baby began to kick like crazy— I know, baby boy, you must be in pain right now. I am sorry for putting you under all this stress. Without proper treatment, I don't think my son would last. I haven't gotten any prenatal or something. I am afraid of what may happen soon. I shut my eyes as I hum a song to get him to calm down. Usually, Anisel does it because he loves the sound of his dad’s voice. As I continued, my eyes got heavier to the point where I drifted to sleep. When I woke up, the sun was shining, and Anisel was right next to me. I thought I was napping— I didn't know I was that tired. Slowly getting up, I felt a rush of weirdness in my stomach—morning sickness. I cleaned up what I did until I got interrupted by a maid. "My lady, a doctor, is here to see you," she said. "I thought the citizens from the main town had been evacuated?? Why is a doctor here??" "Your parents request a

"YOU MURDERS!! ” I yelled. “Technically, someone else tried to assassinate you under our orders.” My mother said as she fixed herself in the chair. Lily, Anisel, and I stood there like statues, wondering what the hell she just said. “HOW COULD YOU!!” Lily leaped over the table until Anisel snatched her in midair. They were lucky it was not me because I would have tossed a knife at them. I thought we were past this. That is why they are here– to help. Anisel placed Lily down and began to pace. She explained since Satia was falling, why not walk in and take it back?? When they heard about the war, they agreed to help and took advantage. They knew I could not handle it, but surprise, it was still in one piece. They were going to do something earlier but waited until it was the right time. They were removing my protection behind my back– first, my servants. “Did you really think servants would actually fight in the frontlines??” my mother stated. I looked at Lily, who didn’t know; all

~ Decades ago ~ ~ Khali ~ “You want me to do what now??” Charity said as she cleaned the dishes. “Steal the diamond. Nobody would have expected you. It's going to be stolen anyway, so why not??” “Cause that would be stupid. Anisel and Joshua are already getting a reputation for following Sera. So, why would we do such an idiotic thing, Khali??” she said. I sat up and told her about the money. We could leave Satia and never come back. The boys need a better life, and we can give them that. She began to give me that look. We could finally get married as well if we do this. A wedding she always wanted. Charity’s eyes grew big as she almost dropped the dish. We can't be doing that because we are down to four plates. I went up and wrapped my arms around her. I placed my head on her shoulders. “Just imagine walking down the aisle with the most beautiful dress on. Having the boys dress like gentlemen and me as a king. We can go anywhere in the world. Just think about it, my love.”
