Chereads / THE KING AND ME / Chapter 21 - Khal Sanah

Chapter 21 - Khal Sanah

It has been raining all day and the weather indicates that the rain isn't going to stop anytime soon.

Malla walked to a servant and began asking

"Is the king up yet"

"No sir, the king is still asleep. He hasn't come out of his room since and I dare not disturb him" the servant responded

"What of the girl, is she up, has she been taken to the maidens yard" Malla continue with his questions

"No sir, she's still asleep in the king's chamber"

"Ok then go back to work" he said and then walk to the king's door.

He seemed worried and could not understand why his Majesty would take a maiden he brought for his selection into his personal chamber. He kept wondering to himself and tried to muster courage to knock on the king's door. It already late in the afternoon and the King is still in his chamber when he has matters to attend to.

He finally muster to courage and knocked at the King door. For a while there was no response but soon he hard footsteps coming to the door.

Soon the door opened and the King came out with sleepy eyes

"Malla what is it, why are you disturbing my peace and quiet. Your reason better be good or you know the consequence"

"My king the outlanders have invaded Zueli Kingdom and are turning the people against you. Their chief is seeking for your assistance and hoped that you will come personally so you can put an end to the outlanders invasion once and for all" Malla explain to the king.

He saw how the mood of the King changed

"My king I made arrangements already for your journey to Zueli Kingdom".

The king stood speechless for a while before saying

"Prepare the fastest horses for the journey" he became quiet for a while before saying "Send a message to the chief to inform them that 'I, Khal Sanah, king of the five lands is giving the the last warning to leave Zueli or they should prepare for hell" he said and went back into hi chamber.

I went back and prepared the horses for the journey and I sent the message to the chief of Zueli.

It is surprising that the king is actually going a battle with just few men and horses that actually fly with speed, it seems like his in a hast to go and come back. But why, could it be the girl.

Normal she's to be in the maidens yard not the king's chamber.
