The dim light from the lanterns started flickering wildly as if they were also in agony upon witnessing the death of their King approaching nearer and nearer.
Dragomir could feel his body getting colder and weaker by the second as though his life force was slowly being sucked out of him. He began feeling lightheaded. And he could tell that he had at most five or six minutes left.
He pulled away from the hug with his daughter and said in a melancholic tone, "I think I should lie down."
Adeline's brows creased and she asked despondently, "Father, are you in pain somewhere? Should I get you something?"
Dragomir smiled and shook his head. "No. Just stay by my side and I will be fine."
When he was about to lie down, Theodore appeared back inside the room with Nigel and Queen Claricia.
And both Claricia and Nigel ran towards the King's side while Theodore disappeared again.
