Chapter 14 Be Ready To Die

QUEENS-TOWN.
•NEW DAY• 
Queen Merl was on top of her bed while Mera was sitting besides her.
It seems that she is no longer herself, the more it takes more day for the war to come the more she gets weaker.
She has become so sick been just too afraid and she is already down because she can no longer stand on her own.
"Mera, you was right after all, it was all my fault, if I had listened to you then all these things wouldn't have been happening"
"Now what's my gain? do we use the princess dragon? no of course, that is of no use to us" Queen Merl said as tears flows down from her eyes.
While Mera grabbed her hand "Mother whatever happens you don't have to be the only one to be blamed for it"
"It was all of us who has to take the blame, but at least for now we have realised the right thing to do, to stop having claims on what doesn't belong to us and don't fight for what we have no right on"
"If the gods will have mercy on us and grant us victory then that will be the first lesson we should put in practice" Mera said as she keeps rubbing her mother's hand.
"But mum... this is not time for this, this is not time to blame yourself and this is not to fall into sickness"
"Mother you are supposed to be strong because we have so many people out there looking up to you, our people's hope are on you, how are you going to protect them on top of the the bed?"
"You should be strong for me, for the people, I need you, we need you mother to overcome this war" Mera was still saying and she was interrupted by Merl.
"Stop it Mera! there's nothing I can do and the both of us knows that, don't try to make fire on top of freeze because it can never light on" Merl said with a weakened voice while Mera stares at her in tears.
"Don't worry then, you are not strong now I can see that, you should be more careful with your health on top of this bed and don't think too much about our condition" 
"I will lead the war and make sure that victory is ours" Mera said and suddenly the warning bell began to sound.
Which made Mera reacted out of fright while Queen Merl wanted to get up as she knew that the expected people has come for her.
But immediately she was trying to stand up Mera pushed her down.
"Mother, you are not strong to come out there, please promise me that you will stay here whatever happens?" Mera requested as Merl continues breathing heavily.
"Mera this is my kingdom you should understand that it is time I have to stand for it just like you said" Queen Merl insisted.
"But you said you are too weak and I can see that already, your seriously sick and it's not because of war, I can see it now that it's your health issues, please promise me to stay here" Mera said and then they began to hear the voice of the guards.
And the loud voice is obviously coming from the chief guard leading others to set themselves ready, though that got Mera's attention as she quickly get to her feet looking so hurried to join that war.
But before leaving she looks up to her mum once again "Mother, I understand that this is your kingdom but once they kill you then it's no longer your Kingdom!"
"Because once you are dead the war is obviously over and maybe they would probably kill me too and rule over your kingdom, stay here at all cost please" Mera concluded as Merl's eyes was already filled with tears but Mera never minded that but ran out of the room.
Getting our of the room she sighted far from the fourth floor and saw the female warriors of Queens-Pack matching forward to their castle.
She watched till one of her guards reached her at the forth floor and she looks up to him waiting to hear what she has to say.
"My princess, they are here" The guard said and Mera nods as he looks forward with her and saw what she is seeing.
"Yeah, I can see that they are coming, I have my own eyes" Mera responded with a rude voice as the guard bowed for her with his right hand crossed on his chest.
"Sorry my princess" He said as he tried to run down from fourth floor but Mera stopped him.
"Wait!" Mera said as he turns and looks at her.
"I am sure that you guys have get the witches ready" Mera said as the guard waves his head.
"No my princess they are not yet ready" the guard replied as Mera yells at him with a louder voice.
"And you came here first to tell me about the people I can see! what are you guys waiting for!!! get them ready! get out of my sight! and go and get those witches ready we have dreadful condition we need to stop now or never" Mera yelled at him as she continues looking at the maiden warriors arriving with their chariots and horses.
She looked at her side and discovered that the guards was still standing there looking at her.
"Are you deaf! I said go and get the witches ready!" Mera yelled at him as he waves his head and bows for her once again.
"Am sorry to announce this to you my princess but all the witches are down" the guard said as Mera stares at him and began to breathe heavily and was already shaking in fear and with her eyes filled with tears.
"What...? what-what do you mean by all the witches are down?" Mera asked looking so confused and surprised because this is the first time she's hearing such statement in this Kingdom ever since she's born.
"We actually went to call them so that we can get them ready and we discovered that they were all dead with a kind of white face... and irritating things... I don't really know what to call it but it's strange and I know it must be something that has to do with chaos" The guard said as Mera grabbed him breathing heavily.
"You are joking! tell me that you are joking or else I'm going to cut your throat!!" Mera yelled at him as he raises his two hands up and waves his head.
"No my princess, I am not joking, you can follow me to go and find out if you think am joking" the guard replied as Merl's voice interrupted.
"Mera what's wrong..." Queen Merl's voice interrupted as Mera turns to look at her just to discover that she saw those warriors coming at them as she fell at the wall looking so weakened and Mera angrily pushed the guard aside.
"Mother, I told you not to come outside, didn't I!?" Mera said as she helped her mother get back to her feet and took her back to her bed.
"No-no-no My Kingdom" Queen Merl muttered with tears but Mera kept silent at her, instead she looks at the guard.
"Be with her here, protect her and on no account should you allow her step out from this room! as you can see she is not strong! do not allow her out or else I will have you killed! do you understand that!?" Mera yelled at the guard and he nodded.
"I have heard what you said my princess" the guard said as he tilted his head a little and then princess Mera ran down from the steps and straight to the chief guard.
"My princess..." the chief guard was still saying and Mera interrupted him.
"Take me to where you kept them, let me see those witches! take me to where you kept them right now!!" Mera scream at him with a mad and hurried voice and the chief guard bowed for her immediately.
"As you wish my princess" the guard said and took her along.

KINGS-HEAVEN.
Almighty King Jerome Akuza was still sitting on his throne like an eagle, an icon which he will always be in between the four kingdoms of the east.
Just in Tennyson walked in with some guards around him.
"Dad we have a message from the Queen of the Queens-Pack" Tennyson said as he approached his father who thought that it was just a normal message.
"Yes? what message is that and how may we help them?" King Jerome said as he balances well on his throne.
"I don't know what is written inside the paper yet but I am very sure that it's a serious one with the message written on the shit of the letter" Tennyson said as he spreads the envelop shit wide for his father.
And statement written very thick there was 'BE READY TO DIE'
Which made Jerome to step down from. his throne and approached.
He collected the letter and opened it and gazed at the write up and then stares at Tennyson.
"Queen Minerva dare write this bullshit to me!?" King Jerome said as he folds the paper and threw it away.
"For writing this alone makes me believe that every single person in Queens-Pack doesn't deserve to live!"
"Tennyson get the knights ready and give every one of them dragon till there are no more left, we are burning down Queens-Pack!" Jerome spoke in anger and Tennyson bowed before him.
"As you wish father" Tennyson said and left the throne room with the guards.
