The kingdom of Zorah was in celebration because of the birth of the king's son. Infact there was so much to eat and drink during the celebration. The people were so happy that finally there would be an heir to the king's throne when he is gone even though he had adopted a male child.
The king was so overjoyed that he decreed the celebration of his heir would last for seven days. The king also sent invitations to the other six kingdoms to join him celebrate the birth of his son.
Different kinds of gifts were sent to the palace to welcome the the king's son. Infact, royalties from distant lands also came to honour the new born. Everyone seemed to like the king's son.
The new born looked like his grandfather king Zor. The fluttery eyelashes he possessed, the jaw line, the facial expression and even the handsomeness of his grandfather, he possessed all. Some even said he is the reincarnation of the late king Zor. Truth be told, the resemblance was so much that it was hard not to admit that the late king reincarnated.
some would say "I'm very sure our late king reincarnated".
Others would say "no it's not reincarnation but it's the genes of the royal blood. Don't you know that blood is thicker than water.
The naming ceremony of the new born was held after seven days of his birth. A lot of dignitaries and personalities including royalties were invited to the naming ceremony of the new born. The king was so pleased to see that many people came to honour the arrival of his son.
The ceremony began with an opening speech of the king welcoming everyone present.
The began "hello everyone, I'm so happy to have each and everyone of you here to celebrate and welcome my son into this world. My joy knows no bound and i am so glad that I'm sharing it with you all."
"As you all know my history and how the queen and have been battling to have a child for over ten years now and then we finally gave up the thought of having children and decided to adopt. Upon adopting our son Zack, my wife became pregnant and now we have our child with us. I'm so over joyed and over whelmed" sobbing he continued "i can't thank you the people enough for your support to the queen and i emotionally and we glad to have our son with us".
Carrying from the queen, the king then said "the queen and i have decided to name the baby Zor." There was gasps and shock from the king as to why he named his son after his father.
Realising the shock from the people, the king then said "i know you are all surprised as to why i named my sin after my Kate father. Well due to the resemblance of my late father and my son that's why i decided to name him that.
Everyone then began applauding on hearing the king reasons and also agreed to the name.
Meanwhile someone in the crowd wearing cloak with a good covering her face was not happy at all and began shooting daggers at the queen. If looks could kill, the queen would have been dead.
Baby Zor began crying and on the king hearing his cries gave him to the queen to feed him. The queen then left to a private booth in order to feed her baby.
Someone then walked in and told the queen that the king would like to see her privately and the queen was shocked because she expected the king to be at the ceremony. Thinking the king wanted to give her a gift as he earlier promised, she saw no harm in it and handed her baby over to the nanny and left with the person.
After walking for about fifteen minutes, the queen then began questioning if it was the king who really sent for her as things looked strange.
Someone from behind then covered the queens nose with a cloth until she passed out.
Meanwhile at the palace, the king after greeting those he invited decided to go to the private booth to checkup on his wife and son. On getting there he only saw the nanny with his son and asked "where is the queen" commanded the king.
the nanny shaking at the king's outburst replied saying "my king she left in order to meet with you. why ask my king?"
"I never requested to see her" said the king trying to figure out what was amiss.
"b...but my king" stuttered the nanny.
Getting furious, "will you keep shut and answer my question. Where is my wife?".
Sweating profusely, the nanny answered "my king, someone came and requested that the queen meet with you saying that you sent the message".
Burning in anger, the king replied "i never did".
Rushing out of the booth, the king informed the head guard to shut the gates if the palace and also to search for the queen as the queen had been kidnapped.
The king then told the nanny to get inside the palace with his son and stay till the queen was found.
After about two hours of searching for the queen, a haggard figure began walking toward the castle gates and the guards asked the woman to halt and on noticing that it was the queen, the immediately took her to the castle as she had fainted.
The king on seeing his wife carried her and immediately sent for the royal doctor to attend to her.
After reviving the queen the king asked "my queen you got me scared, what happened to you?"
The queen still feeling drowsy replied "the only thing i remember was that i was coming to meet you and the i found myself in the outskirts of the kingdom and began walking home".
Feeling pity for his wife, the king said "it's alright my queen i am here now".
The king began feeling strange as the woman with him seemed not to be his wife but he shook the idea of telling himself that she seems different because if what happened and it caused her trauma.
