"Why am I here?"
King Artair uttered in a weak voice as he woke up. His eyes darted around the room as he realized that he was back in His chamber.
At the flash of lightning, Zoe stood up and bowed down to the King. She has been waiting for him to regain his consciousness as the time lapse from the normal could mean that there is a complication from her treatment.
"I apologized for not informing you sooner, your Majesty. But you got a heart attack during your meeting, which could lead to a heart failure if left untreated. So together with the Queen and the Crowned Prince, we decided to do what's best and operated on you."
King Artair's face grimaced, which he didn't know if it was because of what she had just said or the pain in his body as he tried to stand up.
Zoe's hands flew to help him, not to sit but to get back to his supine position.
