Queen Latifa tears shook the whole of Jalin, they need not be told of the disaster as many of them were grieving their King's death. Except for Crown Prince Fedina whom has become a heart beast, and was scheming on how he will wage war against Kande Kingdom, even though he had just lost his own father too, it wouldn't stop him from dealing with his enemies. He wasn't as softhearted as his father, he was a full time ruthless wizard and wouldn't spare his enemy not when the love of his life was involved.
Most of Jalin Kingdom citizen were not injured as some of them.had magical abilities too, some had the power to control rock and water, so they helped one another prevent the debris and falling building, While they all gather outside in front of the Royal palace to mourn their king sudden dismiss.
Queen Tata from inside the dungeon where she had been locked up in, heard her sister cry, it broke her heart to pieces as reality dawned on her the reason behind her sister's outburst. She felt the wrath of the tears knowing it must had been her older brother whom had passed on, but what could have killed him, she thought. A lot is ongoing in Jalin and majority of it citizen ain't save even the Western and eastern kingdom surrounding Jalin are at the verge of being destroy if the catastrophe continued.
Queen Tata tried to control her tears too, she couldn't belief that her elder brother was gone, he was very nice and calm, unlike her elder sister whom was jealous and always scheming on how to hurt her. "What could have killed him?" . Ex Queen Tata cried out and couldn't fight back her own tears that she had fought so hard to prevent. but the tears falling made it way out and poured out like a river. Rivers that had dried up , came up back out from the earth surface and flood started flooding, the whole areas outside of the Royal Castle, heavy rain fall and thunder strike. It was so unusual as the virgin witch curse catastrophe hasn't ended. The tears and pain from the king death changed the weather and revived the lands back to it originally state, as the rain fell for seven days and seven night throughout all the whole lands and kingdom surrounding it, both the Acan kingdom, Jalin kingdom and Kande kingdom with all other neighboring small Kingdoms, experienced the same weather, till the seven days rain ended and the sun finally came out again and showing it bright colors as day, ending the uneven event.
After the rain ended, the Jalin kingdom, did the final burial of their former King as they usually bury any member of the Royal family whom had died in the secret cave, They buried the King and had to go on a week remembrance and mourning for one week putting on white satin garnet, both the Royal family and all Jalin citizen had to honor their late king dismissal by wearing a clean white garnet throughout the following new week.
Ex Queen Tata was also brought out from the dungeon as she was also a member of the Royal family. The whole Royal family both extended had a meeting after the king death and realized all the prisoner as they want to cleans their land and appease their Ancestral gods. Queen Latifa didn't talk to Tata either as she sat still on her Queen's throne seat, while she watch the Royal priest perform the final rituals for the dismiss of their former late king.
Tata walk to the meeting room, she was also putting on her a clean white satin garnet, but she still looked pale as she had not received sunlight for a decade. She still had her old maids whom used to work for her before when she was still a princess as the maids where not easily allowed to leave the Palace.
Ex Queen of Acan Tata, walk into the meeting hall and stood, most of the elders and extended Royal families still loathed her as the cause of the dismissal of their former King. They all stood in silent staring at one another and some also watching the Royal priest as he perform the final rituals and cleansing...
Crown Prince Fedina also stood by his usual seat, the priest didn't say anything but just kept his focus on doing his incantations. Crown Prince Fedina was given the former Crown of the King of Jalin to hold, and the priest did some incantation on it before asking Prince Fedina to place it on the King seat
"Next week end, we shall all gather here to crown our new king," The Royal Priest of Jalin spoked as he bowed his head, indicating he was thru with his work in the palace, he was the first to step out of the meeting room and tge rest of the Royal families and elders in council whom had attended the meeting, turned and left after the priest left, they started leaving one by one, roll by roll till it was remaining only the Royal blooded family.

Back in Acan Kingdom, King Matthew had been worried and has asked his guards and soldiers to search the whole of Acan for Princess Alesa whereabout. He hadn't seen his daughter since the last day she had told him, she wanted to go outside of the palace to visit the river and have a final walk about, since she will be leaving Acan and going with her husband to his own kingdom.
King Matthew had agreed to his daughter request and she had not returned ever since then, he wondered, "Did Alesa actually use that opportunity to run way from this palace, no that can not be true." King Matthew shaked his head to wave off the thought. The worst was that the Witches curse were already out the same night his daughter didn't return, a lot had happened with the short period of time and he became more worried how he would face Crown Prince Fedina of Jalin kingdom when he finally come to him to take his wife and finds out she's missing from the palace.
Worried King Matthew went to his second wife chambers to threaten her again, He knew Queen Becky never liked Alesa since the day he had agreed and married her and brought her to the palace, The woman hated Alesa and always maltreated her since Alesa mother left the Palace.
"Where's my daughter?" King Matthew demanded as soon as he entered Queen Becky's chambers.
"How can you ask me of her your majesty, I haven't seen her too," Queen Becky replied.
"Don't let me slap you or ask the guards to throw you out of these palace, you know how much Alesa mean to mean and yet you choose to harm her or kidnap her, provide her or else you will see the negative side of me!" King Matthew threatened.
"How can you ask me of a full grown up girl your highness, I do not know of her whereabouts, I an not asking of you to believe me but..."
"Shut up woman, if you like and value your life you go out and search for my daughter, if I get to see or find out you have a hand in her disappearance, I wouldn't hesitate to deal with you" King Matthew warned as he stepped out of Queen Becky chamber.
"What is it mother? Why's father shouting at you?" Prince Charles asked as he walked in seeing his father yelling at his mother.
"Is okay son, his just been concerned about his precious daughter" Queen Becky said as she finally took a seat.
"I heard she's missing from the palace mom,cdo you know if anything that could have happened to her?" Young Prince Charles asked as he was 15years old.
"How can I know what as happened to Alesa, did I go out with her, can you listen to yourself Charles, I didn't see her too on that said day she got missing, I think she might have ran away as she might not want to marry the Prince from Jalin" Queen Becky said.
"You think so mom, then why didn't you tell father instead of allowing him shout at you like that?" Prince Charles asked seating beside his mother.
"You know your father, he will never listen to me, he doesn't seem to care about my opinion, all he cares about is Alesa and her mother, and now that Alesa as left him too, I hope he doesn't go mad," Queen Becky said as she hugged her son by his shoulder.
"No mother father will never go mad, am sure Princess Alesa is fine wherever she might have gone too, I will go see father." Prince Charles stood up and his mother held him by his hand. "Don't tell him I said anything" She told her son.
"I know mother, I wouldn't tell him you told me anything, I will go and see him." Prince Charles let his mother side as he walked out of her Chambers heading to his father's chamber. He took the stairs going up the stairs and heard his father yelling and commanding the guards to go back and search the whole kingdom for Alesa including searching of people's houses and not just by asking them alone.
