3 I Think I Am Going to Die

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

Am I finally awake?! Who are these people, and why are they holding me? Okay, okay, calm down. Wait, am I crying? Everything looks so blurry.

"It's a princess, Your Majesty! May the sun, moon, and stars shine upon the Giodivonia empire! Let his majesty know that the child is born! Quickly!"

"Please...Please tell me... the baby is healthy... I need the baby to be healthy..."

"Yes, Your Majesty. The baby is beautiful and healthy as ever. The palace doctor will need to check your vitals since you lost a lot of blood."

"Wait, If for some reason... I do not make it alive, please... tell his majesty to choose Amara as the baby's name. If I do not see him before my passing... Tell him he must keep her alive and well. This is my only wish..."

This lady on the bed sounds like she's in a lot of pain. Though I cannot see her well, she seems to be sad as well. Hold on... what language is this? Perhaps Latin? I took Latin many years ago, but I'm quite rusty. She said, baby. Is she referring to me? Am I a baby?!

BOOM

"Your Majesty!"

"What is the meaning of this? What is the rumor that she lost too much blood? Why was I not informed about this at an earlier time! Do you all wish to die before me?!"

Who's deep voice is this, and why is he yelling?

"Your Majesty, it was ordered from her majesty not to tell you. It was a conflicted decision. Please forgive us."

'Your...Majesty... May I speak... to you in... private? I have... something I want to discuss with you.'

"LEAVE AT ONCE!" -Screamed the tall, blurry silhouette.

I can hear many footsteps running in all sorts of directions. Suddenly the room went silent.

"Why do you look like you're in so much pain? I read from the medical article that once a woman gives birth, there should only be discomfort. Still, she will no longer experience much pain once the child is delivered. Do not worry; this empire has the best doctors in the world; I will make sure that nothing..."

"Your Majesty, please... I do not think any doctor or even the imperial mage can save me in this state. I can feel the energy... leave my body as we speak. I need to use my wish... this empire's custom is to follow one's last wish, yes?"

"..... You are talking nonsense. You will not die. I will not allow it. EZRA!"

"Yes, Your Majesty?"

"Get the royal mage at once! Also, fetch the medical mage at once! Have a few of your men go with you to expedite the process at once!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

I heard quick footsteps, and a few seconds later, loud footsteps followed. What is going on? This whole situation is 10x worse since I cannot see out of my crib. However, it seems like the bed lady is perhaps ill? If my assumptions are correct, If I am a baby and she has just given birth, there's a high chance that this bed lady is my mother. She has been called 'her majesty' a few times, and this angry man is 'his majesty.' Meaning this man is my father. That makes me...a princess. WHAT IN THE FUCKERY IS GOING ON!?

"Wait... do not leave my side, Your Majesty... I do not know how much I will last on this earth, but I fear I do not have much time left. Grant me my wish... I... I beg of you... please."

The silence grew in the room. Though I cannot see, I can feel the tension grow by the second.

"..... And what is your wish?"

His tone changed drastically. It was no longer angry but filled with sorrow.

"This child is a princess. I know you need an heir to... continues your legacy... but please... care for Amara... She... is part of both...of us... My only wish is... for you to raise her well... and love her... unconditionally... please... That is my only wish..."

A long pause went on for what it felt like a lifetime. This is not going to go well. I feel it. Well, at least I was royalty for an hour.

"...Amara... is this the name you want to use for the...thing? What you are asking of me is impossible. Do you not realize that if you die, that thing will be the cause of it? Do you possibly think I will let that...that parasite live for another second? Have you gone mad woman?!"

Whoa, whoa... a thing? PARASITE?! Listen, guy, I just came into this body. It's not like I asked for it. In fact, I'm the victim here. This is a crime!

"This is my final wish... be it as you want... If you go against my wish... you are breaking the moral Giodivonia code... and my trust..."

"Your Majesty! The royal doctor and imperial mage are now entering!' screamed a man across the room.

I heard footsteps coming my way. It appeared to be a man with long blonde hair with a black robe. He looked quite young and handsome.

The handsome man flicked as he looked at me.

"Your Majesty, upon observation, I noticed that the princess seems to carry a special bond. Much stronger than I have seen in all my years of sorcery. It is best to take care of her well as she may be an important asset in the near future."

Special? Bond? What is this cute guy talking about? Is he on drugs?

A tall man with strikingly handsome features came behind the cute blonde guy. He had black hair and piercing green eyes. In all of my 17 years of living, I have never seen an eye color as beautiful and bright as his. Is this man a model? He has perfect skin. What skincare line does he use?

"Your Majesty, may I suggest bringing more mages to observe the princess a bit more..."

"You spew nonsense before your emperor? Do you wish to hang by your neck in front of my chamber window like a decoration ornament?"

YIKES! Is...this good looking mad man really my father?!

I can feel his eyes pierce through my soul like arrows as he looked at me with such hatred in his eyes.

"Your Majesty...her Majesty... has taken her last breath. Please forgive me for my impudence!"

His angry eyes fixated on me. His eye color quickly turned crimson red. He grabbed me out of my crib.

My surroundings became blurry. However, I can feel that we are moving swiftly.

"Your Majesty! Where are you going?! Please! You mustn't do this"' screamed a man.

"I will chase after his majesty! Keep a close watch on who enters her majestys's chamber."

All of this is happening way too fast. This crazy man is carrying me like a football, and he has an army chasing after him. We finally stopped by what it seems like a lake.

Shit. I think I am going to die.
