447 The Will

Eltanin broke the seal and opened the will. When he read the contents, his eyes became wide. "But this is—"

Kinshra placed her hand over his and said, "This is the wish of Biham. Please don't deny it to him. I know he wouldn't like it if you refuse it." 

Tania was looking at Eltanin with curiosity and agony mixed. "What is it, Elty?" she asked. 

Eltanin lowered his face to look at the scroll and then handed it to her. In a hoarse voice, he said, "Read it." 

Tania opened it and started to read and as she read it, her eyes became moist. With a soft smile that was laced with affection, she said, "Father trusted you a lot…" She placed the scroll beside her and hugged her mother. "It's a lot you want to give." 

Kinshra patted her back and then stroked it. "It's all we have and I know that it will be in the right hands."
