The Lost Heir: Battle Of Royalties - Chapter 150

That day, Prince Veziron joined her mother as they visit the shrine located at the west mountain of Colah, the royal city.

Her mother had been asking for his presence since he’s been away for too long.

“I want to pray at the shrine right now. I keep on having a bad feeling for the past few days since the day the great herald died and I never had a peaceful night.” She looked at the handsome young man in front of her.

“My son, you’re all I’ve got and I don’t know what to do if something bad happens to you. So I am going to pray for you and for your future wife as well.” She added.

Prince Veziron heaved a sigh of defeat but he finally agreed to go with her mother to the west mountain.

“Mother, do you really want me to get married so soon?” He wanted to hear his mother’s opinion as soon as they reached the entrance to the shrine.

“I do, for such a long time now.” She looked intently into his eyes. She’s totally serious. “Son, I am old now and I want to see my beautiful grandchildren before I die. That’s why I will earnestly pray to the heavens for a wife worthy of you.” She smiled.

“I hope that the princess of Armany is not just beautiful but more off a kind and gentle woman who will not just be your wife but most importantly, someone who will take good care of you. A wife who will support and will stand beside you hand in hand in every highs and lows of life. Oh, how sweet.” She added dreamily.

“She’s indeed beautiful and she seemed kind too.” Prince Veziron smiled in accordance.

Lady Amaya furrowed before glancing at him. To her surprise, she saw an unusual glow on his face.

“Have you already met the princess?” She was curious since Prince Veziron was glowing.

He only smiled but didn’t say anything. “She’s a princess so it would be natural for her to be— breathtaking.” He grinned sweetly when the image of Diana popped into his mind.

“You should go now and pray for my future wife mom, I’ll wait until you finish.” He chuckled as if teasing his mother.

“Ehm.” The woman was quite surprised to witness a little bit of transformation in his son’s personality. Seeing him smile from time to time was a great change!

As for Prince Veziron, he saw the winged messenger flying near the area, so he went a little far from the shrine mountain and called on the bird. Truth is, he’s been dying to hear from Xu! He’s been wanting to return to Patar to search for the princess too but he’s afraid his grandfather might discover his plans.

Who knows what he would do next once he heard about it.

The winged messenger landed on his arm when it heard the code. Then Prince Veziron took the letter attached to it and read the content.

“What?! No! It can’t be happening!” In his anger, he crumpled then threw the piece of paper on the ground.

The letter states that the princess was found but was gravely hurt. Though he learnt about the princess’ condition, informing him that she’s alive is already a relief to him. However, as soon as he read the last paragraph, he got upset all of a sudden.

Xu informed him that Prince Zyrie and Prince Rohann found the princess and they’re currently watching her right now.

How did they found the princess?! Now he’s in deep thought. Did the king possibly sent them to search for her? But even so, they haven’t seen princess Laura, so it would be impossible for them to find her easily.

However, Xu wouldn’t send him an inaccurate information. He is the kind of man who ensure facts first before reporting it all to him, therefore, it would be unlikely of him to commit a mistake.

‘Prince Zyrie!’ He howled. ‘How did you find my princess?!’ Now his mind was in a muddle thinking what to do next.

Can he just go back to Patar right now? He was pacing back and forth. No, not a good idea. Shadrach will definitely punish him and most likely, the king might even doubt him.

After a few minutes of considering a lot of things, Prince Veziron took a piece of paper and wrote a few instructions for his bodyguard. Then, he attached it to the winged messenger and whispered a code before sending the bird away.

MEANWHILE….

Lady Amaya was busy laying her petitions at the shrine’s altar when the priest came to her aid.

“I am happy to see you again, lady Amaya.” He greeted the woman before sitting on the floor opposite her. “Praying for your son’s future wife?”

“Yes. I wish the heavens would give him a woman worthy of his love.” She smiled, her eyes were glued at the altar.

The priest didn’t respond but his eyes were shut. He was obviously meditating. Seeing his concentration, Lady Amaya didn’t bother him and continued praying with all her heart as well.

“The first prince is currently in love with the wrong person.”

Lady Amaya must have heard the priest but not clear enough, so she just ignored his words.

“If you can stop him desiring for that woman, then that would be great. That will save you from losing your beloved son. I have to tell you this, he will be in great trouble if he keeps that woman by his side.”

“W-what do you mean? Are you saying he should not marry the princess?” Lady Amaya got confused however, the priest stood up without answering her question.

“That woman might even cause his untimely death.” He uttered before leaving the altar.

Lady Amaya was left dumbfounded and trembling in fear. Does that mean Prince Veziron and Princess Laura are not destined to be together? Then her mind suddenly recalled how prince Veziron acted a while ago.

‘She’s a princess and it would be natural for her to be beautiful and kind.’ She recalled what her son said and the sparkle in her eyes… Oh no! She just realized the possibility that Prince Veziron must have fallen in love with the princess!

However, if the priest’s words were true then, she needs to intervene and stop the terrible omen that will strike his son’s future and will eventually cause his death. She needs to talk to prince Veziron right now!

***************************

“She’s awake!”

Liam and the prince were talking seriously when Shenna, the lady host of the guesthouse shouted from the second floor.

“Miss Diana… She’s awake!” She almost cried out of happiness.

As soon as Liam heard that she finally regains his consciousness, he immediately rushed upstairs.

Cole and the others stood surprised at his sudden action but they followed them as soon as they got back to their senses.

Prince Rohann and Prince Zyrie looked at each other. They were obviously communicating through their minds. Should they follow the boys?

“Please rest at your rooms for the meantime, my prince. That woman is a very important person for the whole team, and as you have heard the princess, she won’t leave unless that woman recovers first.”

“We understand. Thank you for taking us in.” Prince Zyrie bowed respectfully before following the staff that will show them to their respective rooms.

On the other hand, the team found Liam sitting at the edge of the bed while ċȧrėssing the woman’s hand. His face radiated with a secured glow and full of life. while the woman was looking around the room. And with creased brows, she glanced at the people around her.

“How are you feeling now? Are you hungry? Are you thirsty? Do you want any food to eat right now?” Liam didn’t notice he was asking too many questions. Seeing Diana woke up trilled him so much. He forgot how to act cool and behave like the usual. The gladness that he was feeling allows him to act like a child who just got his candy back from a stranger. With that sudden change in him, the people around them notice how cheerful he is in front of the woman and though he acts weird, they still felt tranquility and relief that Liam is back on track. Not just back on track but his face is full of delight.

“I…” The woman eyed him hesitantly as she slowly rose up and sat on the bed. Liam help her gently but the woman seems so distant. As soon as she fixed herself, she looked around and familiarize with the people inside including the place where she is right at that moment. But to no avail, she uttered something that left everyone flabbergasted.

“W-who are you? And where am I?”

Liam, as well as the others looked at her puzzled. What’s happening? They all have the same question painted all over their faces.

“And….” She stared at her wounded hands. “D-did you say my name is Diana?”
