The Devil In Guise - Chapter 106

Chapter 105 : Behind the Closed doors

***

The Author’s POV.

I have you love and you pay back with pains.

I supported you and you left me when I needed you.

You promised me to be with forever but you left before it’s started.

Our love story ended when it’s just began.

He wanted to stop them but it was too late. They came rolling down his cheeks. Stefan used the back of his palm to wiped them off.

“My prince let’s go” Sigurd said, aiding him to walk.

Only then did he remembered that he was standing there , ever since Angelina broke up with him. This was the most painful thing that have ever happened to him.

Stefan did not utter a word to his friend. He went in to the carriage and sat down.

None of them spoke on their way home. Only the wheels of the carriage was heard.

When they reached the village, Sigurd and Mustapha came down even though they didn’t want to. Stefan told them he will be fine by morning and they believed him.

At the palace. He went to his room immediately to cry out his pains. He felt like someone had pierced his heart with a spear. Its was bleeding and instead of helping, they were only laughing.

He took one of the jugs in his room and threw it at the mirror. The broken pieces came down making those who were outside scared.

They tried to enter the room to see if the prince was fine but they found it locked. They knocked but,

“I am fine. Don’t worry about me” Stefan shouted. People spoke about heartbreak, but little did he know that it was going to be this painful.

He remembered when his friend queen Annabelle left the love of her life to marry his brother. She cried for days and said that her heart was broken. Only now did he understand what she meant.

He laid on his bed and waited for death to claim him.

At the dinning room. Lincoln and his wives were having breakfast. He didn’t bother to check or ask why Stefan was absent.

“Your highness” Queen Annabelle drew his attention. He looked at her. “It’s been two days now, prince has not come out of his room. ”

“What do you want me to do ?” he asked. She was surprised by his question. A brother was told that his younger brother was in doors for two days and yet, he didn’t care nor make any effort to find out what was wrong.

“You should try finding out why? I am scared already” Queen Annabelle told him. The king stop eating. He stood up from his seat and said “Don’t bother me with such matters next time.”

Just when he was about to leave the dinning room, a guard came in with the message.

“Speak” the king commanded.

“Queen mother Daria had arrived. She is waiting for your audience, my Lord” the guard said.

The rest of the family members stood up from their seats and they followed the king, who was leading the way. When they got to the entrance of the palace. A carriage was parked. In deed the queen mother was back.

The carriage opened and she came down. Lincoln went to his mother and gave her a kiss on the cheeks.

“You came back sooner than I expect mother” he told her.

“It seemed you didn’t missed me Lincoln” she narrowed her eyes. Of course he did not, Queen mother Daria was certain about one person, her son Stefan. Her eyes darted from one person to another but he couldn’t find him among the people who came to welcome her.

“Where is Stefan ?” she asked, looking around once again. Maybe, he eyes were playing tricks with her.

“He is in his room mother” Lincoln answered, holding his mother’s hand while she climbed the steps.

“Why didn’t he come to see me ?” Her brow narrowed in confusion. No matter how Stefan was angry he never missed to welcome her when ever she came back from a journey.

“It’s been two days mother, since he came out of his room. I tried talking to him but he never responded” Queen Annabelle spoke. No one knew the condition Stefan was behind that closed doors. Lincoln didn’t care at all, she wondered if these two truly brothers!

“What ? My Stefan ?” Queen mother Daria asked. “Go and tell him that I am here.”

“His door is locked queen mother. We all hope he is fine in there” Queen Annabelle said with a bow.

Queen mother gave Lincoln a hot look. Ignoring all of them, went to the palace in search of Youngest son.

When she got to Stefan room , its was locked. She kept on knocking but he didn’t open nor utter a word.

“Break down the door” queen mother Daria ordered the guards.

“Mother. Stefan is just making things complicated” his brother said, with his hands across in front. “Don’t bother your self with this things.”

“You are a foolish man Lincoln” she finally told him that truth. “I left you in charge of the palace and you couldn’t take care of your own brother. How Earth can you take care of the whole Akkad?”

He didn’t like the way his mother was sounding. She spoke like their grandmother , who never said any thing nice about him.

The fault was from Stefan but he got the scolding Instead.

Three huge muscular guards were called. They started hitting the door with their legs and body.

Queen mother Daria was scared. What will she do if anything happens to Stefan? Right from birth , he was her lucky charm. she knew he would bring honor to her name .

Now, the creator left her with no option than to pray for the safety of her son. “Nothing will happen Daria” she said inside her head.

When the door finally opened, Queen mother Daria rushed in to the room while Queen Annabelle, Natasha and Lincoln followed behind.

Stefan was lying on the bed. His temperature was high and his body was hot.

When she drew closer, Queen mother Daria found out his body was shivering. His eyes were shut. She almost screamed. What had happened to her son,?

“Stefan” she tapped him but no response. Queen Annabelle checked his pulse, she found out that he was still breathing.

“Call a physician immediately” Queen mother Daria ordered. She placed her hand on his forehead. He have a fever.

Quickly, Queen Annabelle went to get the physician.

“I can’t trust you with anything Lincoln” his mother said bitterly. He was tired of hearing those words from her. Stefan was happy two days ago so why the sudden change? Or was he pretending? Many thoughts ran inside his head.

“Mother , forgive me for my carelessness but Stefan is not a child” Lincoln said.

Ignoring him, Queen mother Daria turned to Queen Natasha who stood beside the bed “has Stefan eaten?”

“No mother. For days now, no need brought food to him. Not even water” she replied. “I think something happened to him. Something bad.”

Stefan had never behaved like this before. May be someone tried to hurt or he had a fight with Lincoln while she was away.

The door opened and the physician walked in to the room. Quickly, queen mother Daria urged her to start his treatment. After few minutes of check up, she turned to the queen and said “the prince condition is critical queen mother. I will need some privacy to treat him. Right now, He is unconscious.”

Her jaw dropped when she heard that. She gave Lincoln the *You have a lot of explanations to do* looks.

Together, the began to leave the room one by one.

“Mother I am sure his friends will know what happened to him. I think we should call them instead” queen Annabelle suggested

“Yes Annabelle. You are right. I was told that he left with them before the illness started.”

A guard was sent to go and bring the boys to the palace.

An hour later, the guard returned with Sigurd and Mustapha who were confused as to why they were been summoned by the queen mother. She never liked them so they didn’t need any one to tell them that it was trouble knocking.

“Greetings your highness” they bowed when they saw Queen mother Daria. No response.

She was silent for about three minutes. All these while she stared at them making them more scared.

“What happened to Stefan the day you went out with him?” She finally spoke.

The boys looked at each other and then queen Annabelle, who was sitting closed to Queen mother Daria. They knew what she meant by that but Stefan never permitted them to reveal his secret to her.
