Chapter 78: Live, Darius
Vishiea’s POV
“Lady Anastasia, you came,” Cassie welcomed me in her house. Liliane is also here. She smiled when she saw me.
“Finally. We prepared food for you” Lialine called the maid and they started serving the food on the table.
I entered inside and sat on the chair.
“You guys don't have to do this” I told them but they just chuckled. They warmly accepted me and I am happy because after what happened nothing changed they still treated me the same way just like before.
“Anastasia, have you already met the king?” Liliane asked me. I look at them, undecided whether to tell them the truth or not.
I can't tell them right now. It's better that they don't know that I am here to help the king. I told Adam that this is only between me and him with the king. He agreed.
“The king already has his own life now. Besides everything is in the past now.” I smiled at them. They both look at me.
“You didn't know? The king is dying. The rumours were saying that he was sick and dying but the council was telling the people that it was fake. Maybe because they didn't want the others to worry about the King's condition.” Cassie said. That's what the council did to cover the king's sickness.
“It's been almost four months since we haven't seen him. We think the rumour is right” Liliane said. Even they were not sure whether the news was right or not.
“Everyone was even prohibited to see him.” She told me. If they find out that the King’s condition has worsened then it would cause chaos.
“We also heard that after you left, The king followed you” Liliane uttered. She’s hesitant to say it. I nodded my head at her.
“Youre right. He went there, asking for forgiveness. We talk and we decided to part ways” I told them. I remember that day when he was soaked with rain. He stayed there even it's cold.
“Since he went there, Rachelle started to lost her mind. She couldn't accept that The king still loves you after how many years had past. She's so jealous that she caused mess in the palace.” Cassie said while she's eating. She got worst.
“Everyone was scared of her. She even hurt the guards when they were throwing her out of the palace.” She added. Rachelle would really do anything just to stay in the palace. She's even so proud and confident that he's the king's fiancée but she ended up with nothing.
“She's evil. She's freaking too stupid to use Dark magic on the king because of her hatred. She didn't even think that she's fighting with the king and that she's not yet a queen” Liliane said. She despises the king for coming with me? She knew to herself even in the first place she was only arranged to Darius not as a lover but a substitute. It was the king's choice not Darius.
She should be ashamed of herself. She took her position for granted and even disobeyed and hurt Darius.
“You’ve been away for how many months and we just wanted to update you on what happened in the palace.” Cassie smiled at me. I nod my head and I understand them. I should be thankful that they are updating me.
“I know and Thank you. Sorry for causing trouble here in the palace” I told them. That ball was supposed to be the best part of the palace event but it was ruined because of me.
“No, you don't have to apologize. Besides we dont care of your Vishiea or Anastasia you're still our friend” Liliane smiled widely. I am touched because of how kind and pure their intention on me.
“I apologize for hiding the Truth. That's the only thing I could do to protect myself.” I explained to them. They nodded their heads and smiled, showing that they understood me.
If I didn't hide my identity that day, maybe I would have been banned from the palace. And if Rachelle finds out sooner she'll make sure that she will make me suffer.
Darius would literally won't stop pestering me.
“That's fine. It's your decision and we're not in the position to question you. We understand whatever your reason was” Liliane said.
“Thank you but I haven't seen Nathan, is he not here?” I asked them. Cassie looks at Liliane. They both grin when I ask Nathan's whereabouts. Here they are again. I am only curious because I haven't seen him since I came here.
“Do you miss him? The king sent him to Quadran. He's staying there now for almost two months. We are not yet informed when he will be coming back, " Liliane told me. Quadran? A place where wars occur?
But why would he send him there?
“One month after you left, the enemies were trying to claim the Quadran. That's why the king had no choice but to send his best men there.” Cassie said. But how's Nathan now?
“Have you heard the news about him?” I asked if they smiled.
“Yes, he's fine. Don't worry when he comes back will tell him about you” she even said teasingly.
We just talked for an hour after that. I left because I know Adam is now looking for me.
When I arrive at the palace Darius is refusing to take his medicine.
When will he keep on refusing to treat himself?
“You can go, I’ll handle this” I told the doctors. They nod their hed. Since I arrive here I am the one forcing Darius to take his medicine. feeding him. He he eats but not enough to gain his strength..
“Are you really going to give all of them who are willing to help you a hard time?” I asked him. He didn't say a word.
“Take this” I told him and fed him the herbal soup. He refused but I insisted. She ended up drinking it.
“Dont spit it. If you want to recover then you should dl whatever your doctors want you to do. Stop.being stubborn and cooperate” I told him. I am really loosing my temper.
She should be thankful that they are worried about his health.
“You're mad at me.” He said, I was silent. I just told myself to control my emotions but here I am. I even almost shout at him.
“I am not. You're being hardheaded Darius “ I said while fixing the plate on the table.
“I like it when you're calling me by my name,” he said while staring at me.
“I’m done here. You can rest now” I told him and helped him lay down on the bed. He just kept on staring at me.
“Will you be happy if I die?” He suddenly asked. I stopped what I was doing and looked at him. A silence echoed in his room.
That's what I am saying after you betrayed me but after I learn the truth I know there's still a part of me that it's not your fault or you're not one to blame..
“Maybe. But live,” I told him. He looked at me and smiled.
If this is the only way that you’ll agree for the treatment then fine.
