In Hills.
The shock of the sudden death of the king. Her darling husband. She of course know that this day will come but she did not expect it to come soon.
There was so much she wanted to do with him.
All their youthful adventure dreams crushed because of his status. He never wanted all this,the crown,the palace and the kingdom. He never cherished material things and high positions.
He had only wanted to spend his entire life with her,by her side,exploring the world, relocating to new cities and new places, meeting new people and tasting new food. All his dreams was taken away by the crown. The moment the crown was placed on his head, he was a different person entirely. Although she does not regret her decision to marry him but she missed their youthful days of merriment and no responsibilities.
"I guess destiny gives you what you don't want". She thought.
All his sacrifice. All her sacrifice to be with him. Her sacrifice to prove her love to him. The love of her life.
"Now I'm all alone in this awful world". She thought.
But there is still hope, there is still someone to live for, someone to fight for and that someone is her son.
Jahzerah.
She does not want the same future for her son.
The future of short peace and restrained love. No. She wanted him to have peace, love and happiness. He is the future king after all.
"I will have to prepare the way for my son,so that he may have peace of mind and not live in fear. She thought.
She gazed at the beautiful night sky,and wondering how amazing it is,she missed him so much but could not tell it to anyone.
The golden arrow sign was in the sky, Nikola...why is he here?...she thought.
Genevieve wore a long black coat and a cloak to cover her identity. She walked fast to meet him.
"What brings you here...she asked.
He walked to where she stood with his hands folded at the back.
"War draws nigh, they're after the treasures...said nikola.
"Who are they?...
"You very well know who they are,so why ask what is germane.
"I am the queen...she said firmly.
"Should I take my leave, genevieve... He stroked his white hair.
"Oh father...All this pressure, I have to be strong for my people. she said in a distressed tone.
"I know how much you're enduring. Endure more,for Segund will attack soon.She sighed and walked to a rock and sit.
"Nikola, what would you suppose that I do now?...give me your advice.
"What if I give the wrong advice.
"If you would,I would not have asked for it. You're full of wisdom and knowledge so I ask for what to do.
"I advice that you find the protector of the treasures and prepare for the worst to come. he said.
"Nakir disappeared and I have not the slightest idea where he would be.she said.
"Well judging from the situation on ground,nakir is not safe. His in grave danger. Sirocco the powerful sorcerer of segund detected nakir's poison in the waters in recompense of the murder of the king and his desperately after his life.
"I'm afraid nakir may not show up during this times. Nikola said.
"Let's assume nakir doesn't show up....He won't show up. he interrupted her.
"And how sure are you, nikola.she said.
"There's no harm in preparing, for the tables turn and you never know.
"Fine then. Preparations will be made.she said.
"I will leave now."Is there any other way you can help me?. she asked.
"If there's any other way I can help,I won't hesitate to. I leave. He announced.Farewell.
He vanished in the dark night.She pondered on nikola's words and everything they discussed as she walked back to the palace.
She felt lonely all of a sudden.
The world is cruel and boring. She sighed.
"A lot can happen and will happen, I have to be strong for my son and the kingdom.
She fought back the tears in her eyes,no one must see her like this.
This is my cross and I shall carry it. She muttered.
"What if nakir doesn't show up?"
"What then shall I do?
"God forbid!"
"I pray he honor his pledge and protect the treasures at all cost. I wonder if he would extend good love he had for the late king to his son. To protect him and to see to his safety".
She knows he is tough and quite stone hearted. How come the king manage to have a place in his heart. She thought.
Even though to protect the king was one of his duties, nakir does his duties with love. He protects the king with love.
Honestly,she is not scared of war or fighting. All she wants is for her son to be safe.
Even though segund have been trying to take hills treasure for centuries now,there was not a time they triumphed over Hills. But those times were different, king's led the army to war.
"No.
I must not belittle myself. I'm a woman of strength,beauty and power and i shall be an inspiration to young women in the kingdom. I shall triumph. I pray".
