A novel of An Encounter chapter 26
The words penetrated into rheagars ears hard, be turned to his grandfather then make to the lady.
"You...you can't be serious, nothing can happen to her!" He raised his voice.
"I also wish the same your majesty, we have to get the poison out of her before she spreads any further" she said bringing a little Ray of hope to them.
"You, rheagar your blood!" King balem stated immediately.
"Yes your majesty your blood can help her!" Nana said the same thing, he nodded immediately picking another cup from the table he bite his hand hard letting his blood pour into the glass, he rushed back to kaira raising her head up.
"Come on kaira, drink!" he forced it down her throat ,he felt her hold his hand willingly drinking it up.
she felt it come back to her throat making her jolt from the bed as she threw up more blood.
she coughed hard as her eyes finally opened to reality, it felt like she was trapped in a dark place .
"Kaira, are you alright?!" he tapped her cheek she was still delusional by the effects but she could see him, her eyes became heavy again and she passed out once again.
"what happened to her again?" he asked, fear tipped in his voice.
"I'll check your majesty please leave for now" Nana sighed.
"Let's leave rheagar, she will be fine,she's strong" King balem said ,he sighed starring at her face before pulling rheagar out of the room.
"why is this happening grandfather, its one problem to another" Rheagar roughed in hair in frustration.
"Everything is going to be fine rheagar, nothing is going to happen to them alright?" King balem tried giving him hope to stay positive.
He nodded trying to hold on to the hope he had also, he suddenly remembered something.
"why would the elfs do this to her and how?" he asked the right question .
"I'm also confused, but I know it's them, that kind of poison is only found in their land,the juice who made it?" king balem asked.
"The maid, where is she?!" Rheagar frowned.
"She's here your majesty!" the guards came in, innocent vera bowed her heads shaking in fear.
"Who sent you here?" rheagar sneered at her.
"I promise you your majesty, I didn't put anything in the juice, I would never harm the queen!" she pleaded in tears.
"Then someone will explain how an enemy came into this Palace and poisoned my queen!!!" He growled at them.
"No one came into the Palace your majesty, and we've been guarding the queen as you instructed there was no one!" the guards said.
"it's obvious they used black magic to come into the Palace that's why no one could sniff them off, and who so ever did this used the juice as a means" King balem laid everything out.
"You stop crying child, I know you're innocent" he faced Vera.
"I'm sorry" Rhegar apologised to her.
"Thank you for believing me your majesty" she wiped the tears.
"Your majesty" Nana came out,she closed the door behind her facing them.
"Who's she Nana, please tell me nothing happened to her or our child" Rheagar rushed to her.
"Kaira is fine your majesty your blood was able to get the poison out of her system but...." she paused in hesitation.
"But what Nana?!" the tension was killing him.
"It had already spread to her womb and...she lost one of the twins" She said it out.
"Twins?" King balem asked in shock.
"Yes your grace, the queen was pregnant with twins,I'm so sorry" She sighed sadly.
Rheagar soul crushed in pieces hearing her words,he didn't know weather to be happy or sad on the news.
"Is she..kaira does she know?" he asked her first.
"She's conscious now your majesty, we should be happy at least she will still bear one, I know it's hard but you have to be with the queen at this time your majesty" she told him.
"Go to her rheagar, she needs to hear it from you" King balem held his shoulder, he was equally broken down by the news.
Rheagar sighed, he walked into the room shutting the door, he faced her and his heart squeezed, in just a blink of his eyes,his once happy queen wore the saddest mask.
"rheagar..." she stretched her hands to him, he walked to her seating beside her.
"She's not telling me anything...did anything happen to our ba..." he covered her mouth before she could complete it, tears escaped his eyes as the weight of the pain increased.
"Why are you crying please!" She felt sacred already.
"You were poisoned kaira ...and Nana she said you were pregnant with twins but..due to the poison we..lost one of them kaira!" he broke down holding her hands tight.
Everything around her stopped in an instance, she closed her eyes as hot tears poured out,she shook her head profusely not able to believe the sad truth.
she didn't know they were two now she knew and she lost one..it destroyed her, she kept weeping bitterly in pain,rheagar did the best he could think than to console her,he hugged her tight as she cried,he knew she would hurt more than any of them.
"I'm so sorry" She sobbed.
"Its not your fault love, its going to be alright, at least we have one" he tried showing her the light at the end of the tunnel.
"my baby rheagar,I lost her" she broke down drastically, it had left a big hole in her heart, twin or no twin she had bounded with them like nothing else and now one was gone.
"You didn't lose her kaira, you'll give the same love and care to our baby like you used to, this is just a bad phase , we still have her with us right, and you will bring her into this world no matter what, well give her all the love in the world all the care won't you love her when she comes?" he cupped her cheeks making her face him.
"And I'm here for you, we might have one now but after we'll have as many as you want twins triplets we will but for now don't cry anymore, the goddess blessed us by keeping one of them ,so let's see the light in that our baby is still with us" his voice held so much emotion ,she cleaned the tears off embracing him again.
"I love you so much rheagar" she mumbled ,his words sank into her head managing to calm her down.
He smiled shortly hugging her back, they stayed at that for a long time in each others embrace ,he was what she needed at that moment of mourning ,to remind her of his love and care weather she had the twins or not he stilled loved her either way.
~ KING BALEM CHAMBERS ~
Rheagar opened the doors slowly stepping into the room, King balem walker close to him and the first thing he did was to pull him into a tight hug.
"Today has been the worst day of my ife grandfather " he mumbled, his expression couldn't even be read because of mixed emotions.
"I know my boy I know" he parted his back.
"it's like everything around me just dies ,first father died when I needed him the most in my life then mother also left me and the only person I can lean on is broken also,kaira isn't fine grandfather" everything all made his head spin, he broke the hug heaving out a deep sigh.
"She might try to hide it but I saw the agony in her eyes, she doesn't deserve this suffering " his eyes swelled in tears.
"I see it in your eyes too rheagar, it's okay to cry you've also lost a child today" King balem held his hand.
"For you too be strong for kaira you have to be strong for yourself so let the burden go, let it all out!" he uttered.
"Your mother betrayed you, your brother betrayed you, your first love betrayed you, your enemies went for your wife, she's in pain, she lost a child today!!" King balem shouted everything right In his face.
Rheagar eyes darkened in anger, he turned away storming out of the room, he went straight out of the Palace.
the moment he stepped on the sand he let the wolf out running in insane speed into the woods.
Everything that was happening from day one to now kept coming to him, from when kaira was announced pregnant, to her kidnap to when he raised his hands to her ,to Chief hale words and to now ,the picture of her tears filled his mind ,he couldn't think straight anymore.
He stopped in his tracks and growled loudly,letting everything out the pain, the hurt,everything, so loud the creatures of the forest all fled.
He shifted back starring at the sun,he watched it fall to the west till it finally went out of sight.
"Feel better?" blade spoke.
"I've only brought pain to kaira blade" now guilt was pricking him.
"You've never brought pain to kaira rheagar instead you've always been there for her, you saved her from sansa, you went against your own mother for her and even killed for her sake, I know we've had a lose today, but it's nobody's fault expect the real evil ones" Blade stated remembering him of the real evil.
"They did this to her!" the anger came in now.
"yes, we were supposed to have a double blessing but they cut it short and we'll reap them apart now!" The wolf ignited the anger the more.
If he could catch fire in anger by now he would "They invited war blade, we had our feud with quen elowen but after this ,I'm going to destroy that kingdom!" he meant every word ,he shifted into the wolf running back to the Palace.
He was on a blood lust now!
~ MIDNIGHT: THRONE ROOM~
king balem stood beside rheagar,he called for the important meeting and everyone answered immediately, commander lanister and the other advisers all surrounded the table ready to hear of rheagars plan.
"From the information we gathered your majesty, they've been in the outcasts for a long time due to lack of resources,but their forces are still strong" Commander lanister spoke first.
"They have an upper hand with the use of dark magic rheagar" King balem said.
"But that can be solved, a letter will be written to Alura tonight Southern pack will surely support us" he added.
"how long will it take for us to reach there land commander?" rheagar asked .
"2 days your majesty" he answered.
"How it be shortened to 1 one day?" they turned hearing her voice, she stood by the door her face pale and dry with so much crying.
"Kaira?" rheagar rushed to her.
"You're not fine, why did you leave the room?" he muttered.
"I couldn't sleep and I want to be here" she stated.
"alright come" he sighed leading her to them
"Greetings my queen" They bowed immediately.
"how are you feeling kaira?" King balem smiled at her.
she nodded managing to bring the smile "I'm not fine ,I'm still sad but when I have rheagar and you all with me I'm going to be fine,but..the one who has caused me this pain will have to pay for it" she said though gritted teeth.
"if we take the short route that is if we are in wolf form we'll reach in a day ,with the horses it will take two days" Commander lanister said.
~EFREDOM KINGDOM~
"Thalion!!!" Lirael yelled badging into the room .
"Why are you shouting my name lirael!" he stood up.
"I warned you not to do anything why did you have to go now?!" she snapped at him.
"what's the shouting about lirael?!" Queen elowen stepped in.
"Thalion poisoned kaira to kill her child queen!" she answered the woman.
"I ordered him to" Queen elowen stated.
"But now it has back fired because King rheagar will come for us,he knows we did it!" lirael fired at the both of them.
"And I should also shock you to know that your plan didn't work ,she didn't lose the child so we've lost either way" she dropped the other one.
"That's not possible, I made sure she consumed it there's no way she could survive that" He rushed to her.
"I warned you but you didnt listen now you'll face the wrath of two angry wolves, wait for her delivery then she would help us but no ! you never listen I'm done helping this kingdom!" she shouted at his face.
"They can't do anything lirael keep quite!" Queen elowen snapped at her.
lirael chuckled in a scoff "Save elfredom yourself!" she walked out on the both of them.
"You forget that I own you lirael, you're paying your father's debts my helping me, and if you step out of that door I will kill your entire generation" Queen elowen words made her stop.
"Good girl, thalion prepare the knights and army let rheagar come, I'm prepared for him, it's been a while I killed an alpha wolf!" Queen elowen smiled devilishly.
"And lirael you're just my perfect weapon" she walked to her parting her hair.
"This is what you've been training for, be prepared to bring hell fire my dearest,for elfredom" she whispered into her ear, lireal shivered in fear, apart from the nice face people saw that lady was a demon in disguise.
