Chapter 5 - CHAPTER 05: A Nightmare Come True

It was seven in the morning. Queen Savannah came running to Prince Xavier's room. She was screaming and crying. Her heartbeat was fast and loud. Giant fox was howling from outside. Xavier, Serafina and Lois surrounded him. Queen Savannah started to talk.

'You dad! It's your dad!' murmured Queen Serafina.

'Yeah, what mom?' asked Xavier.

'Your dad has passed away!' replied Queen Savannah with tears falling on the ground. Prince Xavier and Prince Lois ran to the King's room while Princess Serafina cooling Queen Savannah down. By the time Xavier and Lois reached the room, King Azazel and Queen Bessie had come there.

In a few minutes, everyone came to King Baxtor's room. Everyone was crying and moaning. The flag of the kingdom was lowered, and a black flag was raised. The Royal Doctor came running to the Palace.

'This is what I said you yesterday.' Said, King Azazel.

'Yeah, I see,' replied Queen Bessie, and asked, 'What poison was that?'

'It's "Thanotirio".' Replied King Azazel.

'Hmm,' reacted Queen Bessie, and added, 'that's why some ancient proverbs of our kingdom tell us to have poisons every time and learn sorcery.'

'And, don't tell about this poison to my husband.' Warned Queen Bessie.

Inside King Baxtor's room, the doctor checked for the cause of King Baxtor's death.

'Can everyone go out please?' the doctor requested, and added, 'Except Prince Xavier.'

'Yes doctor, what caused this?' asked Xavier while wiping the tears from his face.

'Stay strong Prince, Listen to me carefully and don't take immediate actions, okay?' the doctor warned.

'Yes,' replied Xavier.

'King Baxtor has been poisoned. And I know that this is from the Kingdom Arylon.' The doctor explained very calmly.

'How do you know? Are you sure?' asked Xavier.

'You know my father was killed by poisoning, when he was in the Kingdom Arylon with King Baxtor. After his death, I studied about that poison.' The doctor replied.

'Then what about the poison by which I was affected? Is it also from Kingdom Arylon?' asked Xavier.

'I'm not sure. But there is a high probability that it could have been from the Kingdom Arylon.'

'Hmm,' sighed Xavier.

'I'll talk to my brother.' said Xavier and left the room.

On the other hand, Queen Bessie and King Azazel continued to be talking.

'What a stupid people are there in this Kingdom. The doctor's aren't even proper doctors. They can't even identify a poison.' Joked Queen Bessie, and continued, 'Our next target is Prince Xavier and his family. Let's kill them very badly, in a very painful manner.'

'Yeah,' replied King Azazel, and added, 'you better talk with your husband as soon as possible. The execution of our next plan depends on it.'

'Yeah,' replied Queen Bessie and went to have her chat with her husband, King Lucas.

Prince Xavier who left the sickroom, went to her wife before going to the King directly. Princess Serafina was telling the history of King Baxtor.

'Darling!' Xavier exclaimed in sorrow.

'Why? Is something wrong?' asked Serafina.

'Lois, go out and play with Albert.' Xavier ordered his son, and continued, 'Yes, yes, there is a problem. The Doctor told that the cause of my father's death is a poison from Kingdom Arylon.'

'Then you are telling that the person behind is the King Lucas, Queen Bessie and King Azazel?' asked Serafina.

'I'm afraid, yes,' replied Xavier. Their faces turned reddish.

Queen Bessie reached the place where the King was relaxing and having massage.

'Ladies, get out right now!' Queen Serafina ordered. The massaging ladies went out murmuring "jeez".

'What do you want now? Can't you see I'm trying to relax?' asked King Lucas.

'Of course I could see what you were doing.' Told Queen Bessie sarcastically, and continued, 'we have to talk right now.'

'What? Whatever, make it quick,' asked King Lucas.

'This is going to be a long discussion.' Replied Queen Bessie, and continued, 'it's time we have to talk about you and your father-in-law relationship, Avelon-Arylon relationship.'

'What are you telling?' King Lucas asked with confusion.

'How about you rule Kingdom Avelon and Arylon? You'll be the King of two kingdoms. You always wanted to be a great king. But your family did not believe in you. They think that you are a threat.' Replied Queen Bessie, and continued, 'it's time for change!'

'Yeah, you're right, but I have no intention to cause disasters to my kingdom by joining with Kingdom Arylon. I'm not telling you are bad. It's just some of your people in your kingdom. They use black magic, worse than poisons…' expressed King Lucas, and continued, 'but I'll think about it.'

'Okay, think wise, make it quick,' replied Queen Bessie and went back to give the message to her father.

After a few minutes passed since Queen Bessie, Prince Xavier met King Lucas in the same room.

'Why would you do this?' asked Prince Xavier in disappointment.

'What did I do?' asked King Lucas.

'You killed father! You poisoned him!' shouted Prince Xavier.

'What? I did nothing. And I'm a King. You have no rights to talk like that.' King Lucas shouted back. Everyone in that place, including the royal family, governors and outsiders surrounded.

'Everyone listen! The reason for the death of King Baxtor is him, his wife and his father-in-law. The doctor told me about the poison by which the King was killed.' Explained Prince Xavier.

'I said I did not do that!' shouted King Lucas. No one did believe in King Lucas. They fought against him, even the governors and guards.

'Hmm, I see, you'll are going to blame my family for his tragic death!' cried King Lucas.

It was this time that he thought of joining his father-in-law, King Azazel was a good idea.

'You aren't believing in me huh? So I can't be living with unworthy people like you. I have a different plan.' Said King Lucas, and turned his face towards Queen Bessie and said, 'I'm in.'

Soon after the reply from King Lucas, Queen Bessie turned her face towards her father and nodded her head as a sign. King Azazel took his conch and blew it. All the guards who were outside and who were in undercover pointed their weapons at the governors and the royal family. The Kingdom of Avelon was brought under the control of Kingdom Arylon.

'Our Kingdom is corrupted. It needs to be changed. It needs development.' Said King Lucas.
