The Lost Heir: Battle Of Royalties - Chapter 162

It was the last word of her grandmother before she woke up in the middle of the night.

Sarah was perspiring a lot when she rose up. Her dreams were seemingly real that she thought her grandmother came back to life.

‘You can run away but not for long. Remember your calling… You are what you are for a reason. Only when you accept your identity and your calling will you be able to maximize the power sleeping within you.’ Milcah voiced with a smile before she turned her heels and walked towards the bright light.

SARAH STOOD up and walked towards the small balcony in her room. Yes, she has her own room now which Lady Shammah provided for her. She should be sleeping along with the other maidservants but since Lady Shammah discovered her true identity, she made sure that the young lady would feel comfortable inside the palace.

She heaved a sigh before looking up.

“Grandma, why do I have to become like you? I don’t want to become a seer. It’s too burdensome.” She teared up. However, while letting her thoughts rumble on a lot of things, an eerie breeze suddenly penetrated her spine. Her body went numb and her eyeballs turned white due to the vision being unfolded before her eyes.

Bloods…. Deaths… brothers against brothers… Father against the son… Son against the father…. Kingdom against kingdom… And what is this? A certain woman will become the root of all chaos but it will eventually become a pillar of peace, a source of strength and hope to others.

“What are all these things?” Sarah muttered in dread. What a devastating sight to behold. The future looks dark for the kingdom of Allen as well as for the royals.

She lost her balance after a few minutes of watching the vision.

Fudge! That was a terrible event to happen in the near future. And moreover, why is she feeling restless all of a sudden? It’s as if the events will unfold right in front of her… one by one.

“Why? why am I seeing these things? I don’t even want to become a herald!” She looked up in contempt. “I never asked for this special ability so why don’t you take it away and give it to others who will do a good job instead? Why? Why me?!” She’s quite annoyed but her tears where like a river! Her heart, it was as if her very own words pierced through her.

It pained her? But why? She’s in a muddled due to her unexplainable emotion at the moment.

‘The inner room… You’ll find all the answers there.’

She froze. That thought came to her mind all of a sudden. The inner room? But she’s been there before.

‘You’ll find the answers there…’ Again, the thought crossed her mind.

“Fudge! I think I’m imagining things now.” She muttered while picking herself back up and went back inside her room. Looked like she was totally stressed out the past few days and all she need was a peaceful rest.

MEANWHILE, Shadrach called prince Veziron in the secret meeting area of the officials which are not in favor of the current king. There are at least twelve government officials who want to dethrone the king and pledge to support prince Veziron.

“Are you saying we should execute our plans during the king’s birthday party?” One of the royal officials uttered in surprise.

“Yes.” Shadrach replied. “The king is about to turn 57 so we will use his old age to kick him out from the throne. Prince Veziron had reached his maturity to usurp the throne a long time ago so the king doesn’t have any other reason to stay in his power now.”

“Are we ready for it?” Another official asked.

“Of course, we are more than ready.” One of the officials replied. “We’ve been planning our moves for years now so there is no reason why we can’t do it.”

“He’s right.” Shadrach smirked confidently. “We’ve been preparing for this for a long time now so there is no way we will fail. Besides, we have the support of the Shadow knights in case we’ll have to engage in an all-out war.”

“The Shadow Knights?” Prince Veziron and all the other officials present at that room glanced at the old man full of question. “Does that mean you met and had an agreement with the head of the shadow army?” The prince couldn’t believe his ears.

He held his breath waiting for the old man’s response. He doesn’t know how he would react if he will hear that Cole, the commander in chief of the Shadow Knights met with the old man and agreed to support his agendas. The fact that the young man rejected him was still fresh in his mind and he must admit that it deeply hurt his ego and made a promise to himself to make them slaves as soon as he takes the throne.

“How I was able to convinced them is not important for now. What we need to know is that we have them on our side.” Shadrach smirked evilly. “We now have the confidence to stand against the king and his royal army.”

“Then why else will we wait for another year to dethrone him. Let’s just do it during his birthday.” One of the officials bantered proudly.

“Yes, that’s why we have to prepare very well.” Shadrach looked at the seemingly restless prince beside him. “You need to be ready every time too because your destiny is about to change.”

“What do you want me to do, grandfather?” He asked since he doesn’t know about their plans yet.

“Nothing. You only have to do your usual thing. You don’t have to do anything special. Leave it to me. All we want is your focus on this matter so don’t go around causing any trouble until the king’s birthday.” The old muttered meaningfully and a message behind his words along with his piercing gaze sent a clear message to him.

Shadrach was obviously telling him not to do anything that could mess up their plans. Did he possibly found out that he is keeping an eye on the princess of Armany through his personal bodyguard?

“Y-yeah, grandfather.” He nodded in agreement.

The secret meeting ended after a few more discussion but Shadrach didn’t include the prince during the last minutes and that puzzled him greatly. Doesn’t he trust him with their secrets? Prince Veziron was in deep thought while going back to his chambers.

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

“Are you sure no one saw you eavesdropping?” Prince Zyrie asked his younger brother.

“I’m sure there’s no one around.” Prince Rohann was confident.

“Don’t you try to do such a thing again in the future. We are still earning their trust just as how prince Leo did. We need to get them on our side.”

“But aren’t you curious? The fact that Liam sent Cole and the others in secret…” Prince Rohann ċȧrėssed his jaw. “They seemed to be in a mission of who knows what it is. It stirred up my curiosity so I was thinking of following them tomorrow.”

“Don’t you ever do that.” Prince Zyrie immediately interjected. “If they are keeping it from us then they must have their own reason and if we want to know what it is, we must earn their trust.” He looked at the young prince earnestly. “Let’s earn their trust. Remember, the princess of Armany is on their side so shooting two birds at the same time is the best plan for now, you understand?”

“Ehm.” The young prince nodded in agreement but unknown to prince Zyrie, Rohann set in his mind to find out what the shadow knights had been working on lately. He believed that the group was hiding something from them—- something that may harm the royals!
