The king's Death
Too excited, overwhelmed by the beauty of the day and how happy his Guests are, the king took the wine from Dracos...
After hesitating for a while, he exclaimed while standing up...
"See how loyal your future lord is, for without delay, he served his Father and as a master chef, his service came with a unique ardor and humility."
Dracos' heart almost leaped out of his chest the moment he saw the hesitation from the king and his prompt standing up, immediately he took the wine off his hand, however, he kept his calm, arousing no suspicion whatsoever...
Raising the wine cup, the king placed it on his lips...
***Gulp! gulp!! gulp!!!***
Within a blink of seconds, the whole wine was out and an empty cup was raised again...
***Aaaaaaah***
"Your Prince truly knows how to serve, I trust from his service to me, he'll not fail you as well."
Returning the wine cup to Dracos, the king sat once again on his throne...
*Sigh*
It was as if a heavy burden had just been off-loaded...
All he could feel at the moment was a relief...
Dracos was extremely excited at the turn of the event, he had planned well.
You know as the popular saying goes 'planning is the first step toward success'.
On his throne, close to the king, he sat smiling, waiting patiently for the slightest opportunity to strike...
Often will he grab the 'dagger of immortality hidden under his royal attire.
He was restless but patient, knowing fully well that his time will come...
Several hours went by and the excited king had taken too much of the immortal wine served on this special occasion that he felt dizzy...
***Ssswuup***
"That's strange, I have never felt like this before," the king said under his breathe.
Dracos, being close to him discerned the change in the king but kept his cool.
Feigning ignorance, he asked...
"My lord, the king, you're acting strange, hope all is well?"
"Yes son, just a little something kind of but I will shake it off," the king's reply came with a false smile, deep within, he knew something was off...
Being ignorant, the king thought he might have had too much wine, and taking hold of his wife, he said to her...
"Xenia, take me to my room, I need to rest."
"Huh!!!"
Shocked at the request of the king(for he's too supreme a Gods to be drunk, she could only stare at him with words too difficult to find), she quietly asked for Dracos to aid her...
.....
At the king's chamber, Xenia told Dracos to lay him on his bed which he did before both parties left the room to attend to the Guest but something was off...
After both parties left for the celebration, Dracos quickly recalled something as they were still in the corridor, going to the party...
"Mother, please you and Oasis can attend to the guest, I need to get a wine from my room."
His mother quickly asked as she wondered why must it be now, "Can't it wait?"
"No mother, it's a special wine for special occasions like this," looking at her and wondering why she has to ask in the first place...
It was all his plan to kill the king when no one was watching and also to avoid suspicion after the king's death...
Luckily, the perfect weapon to execute his plan was stuck with him(hidden in his attire)for the 'dagger of immortality' leaves no trace behind.
***Hummm***
"Okay, you may go get it, after all, you own the day and you alone can choose to celebrate it the way you want Son."
***Bowing his Head***
"Thanks, mum."
With his request granted, Dracos hurried to the king's chamber and beholding the supreme king resting...
He quietly brought out the 'immortal dagger', went close to the king who is now like any other gods; for the king experienced a transition due to the unique crystals from Guile.
Dracos looked at the king with obsession and hate(as if dealing with an enemy) and raising his hands...
He struck the 'immortal dagger' into his Chest...
***********
***Exclamation***
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"
With eyes shining so wide, the screams from the supreme king vibrated the castle...
Shocked at the turnout of the event, Dracos quickly rushed out of the king's chamber after striking him thrice...
*Puff*
*Sigh*
"O! how lucky I was not to be caught, finally, a new king is born today."
********
The scream of terror gave everyone the shock of their life and on seeing the shock wave that vibrated the castle Oasis exclaimed...
"Mother, what was that?!"
Shocked and looking confused, Xenia turned to her son and trying to make meaning off the situation ...
"I think that scream came from the.....Ooooooo!" with mouth wide open and recalling the awful state her Husband the king was in earlier on, she exclaimed...
" Oasis!!!!"
"The King!!!!"
By this declaration from Xenia, Oasis, with the fastest speed within his reach dash off to the king's chamber
Xenia quickly followed behind her son.
......
**In the king's chamber**
"Father!Father!!Father!!!"
Oasis on entering the chamber called out loud but to his dismay, no reply was given to his call...
O! Oasis was too dismayed, for he beholds how troubled the king look in his rest and his heart was shattered that he fell on his knees and screamed...
"Father!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Coming into the chamber and seeing her son lamenting heavily and down in tears, Xenia quickly rushed to the side of her husband and called out to him...
"My lord, the king!!!!"
Seeing there wasn't any reply and after calling out thrice and raising him, the Queen lost her sanity...
************
In the palace court, everyone looked troubled at the sudden turn of event
Seeing how the queen and Oasis rushed off to the king's chamber, a great fear gripped them all and one could only wish for the well-being of the king because it has never been heard nor seen that a supreme king died before attaining the required 'twelve million years..'
Hearing the scream and cries coming from the king's castle, the troubled elders without delay rushed down to the chamber to verify the situation of things and the purpose of such great wailings but the drama they met there almost struck them to Death.....
