Chapter 70 - Last Will

After going to his room, he went towards their wardrobe and opened a safe inside which there is another safe which is number locked. He opened the safe and there were only a few old documents which almost started to turn yellow in the safe and nothing as precious as some asset documents or jewelry in the safe.

"You might be thinking as to why these old documents are placed here with such a care but these few handwritten documents will change the fate of this country, fate of you in the future" Avinash told him as he took the document from the safe

"What do you mean? And what does that old document have to do with me?" Vihaan asked him really confused with his father speaking in riddles

"Have a look at them and you will understand for yourself what I am trying to say?" Avinash gave the papers to him as they both sat on the couch placed on the side

Vihaan looked curiously at the papers, they are really some old papers if not taken proper care, then they might have been damaged by now as they already started to turn yellow despite keeping them in such a secured file

After contemplating for a while, he decided to take a look at them and started to read the paper very carefully word by word again and again as he couldn't believe his eyes

"Now you understand what your mother meant when she told you that you had a huge burden which you need to carry on your shoulders"

"I am going to be the king of this country!" Vihaan exclaimed as he couldn't believe his eyes with the unknown information and around thousand scenarios started to appear in his mind just at the thought of him being the king

"Yes, do you remember Vihaan when you first went to school and everyone started to call you crown prince you came back home asking me why everyone was treating you with respect and calling you crown prince when it is not your name" Avinash reminded him of his first day encounter in his school when he was just a kid

"It is because of this very reason, all the older generation in the country know that you are going to be the future king of this country and it is the respect they want to show towards their king"

"Wait, wait father our country is a democratic country as far as I remember it is ruled by a government and we are not even belonging to the lineage for me to become a king as you and grandfather doesn't have anything to do with it" Vihaan asked him as he was really confused and started to think logically to explain himself

"The will in your hand is handwritten by the late king of this country, your great-grandfather, it is his death wish to make his great-grandson the future king not his son or his grandson and he also entrusted all the affairs regarding the development of the country in the hands of government while I will be the governing body who makes important decisions in your stead until you reach the age to take over the position"

"But why me father, I mean if it is from you or from grandfather, I can understand but why me and why did he want me to become king when he couldn't even know whether you will have a son or not as I was not even born when the will is written"

"Even I was not born at the time this will is written Vihaan much less you" Avinash told him with a smile on his face which is genuine as he knows the reason behind his grandfather's decision

"What?" Vihaan looked surprised at this new found information and felt astonished at to why his great-grandfather did such a thing

"Your grandfather did everything opposite to your great-grandfather's wishes when he was young, your great-grandfather wants your grandfather to take over the bubbling business which he just started and also wants to train him to be a better king in the future.

But your grandfather wants to study medicine he wants to save people's lives as he felt sympathized with them but this decision made your great-grandfather very angry and he told him that he will dethrone him from the position of crown prince if he was to not agree to his decision but your grandfather being the stubborn one agree to this went states to complete his studies

But as if it is not enough, he brought a woman along with him back from the states after completing his studies your grandmother is a very loving person and had very similarities with your grandfather but this made your great-grandfather very angry and he disowned him from his position in a fit of anger and spent his all time avoiding both of them like a plague

I don't know what happened afterwards but as far as I know when he fell sick and was about to die, he made a will stating that he wants his great-grandson born from his grandson to be the king and in case if I fail to have sons then my first daughter's son will carry the lineage of the crown and he told the whole nation that if they love their king and respects him, they need to follow his last wish

And during this period I will handle the Johal corps. by being the president to it when I become capable to handle the company on my own and whole nations decision will be taken by the government till the new king takes his position and I will represent the king in his stead till he reach the age to get coronated and he kept a condition that you must get engaged first to make the official announcement of his will and once you get married then you will get coronated as the new king of the nation and whole government will again follow the rules and decisions of the king from the very day he take charge of his position"
