Amelia's POV
My heart was beating rapidly while I walked through the gate with one of the palace guards who directed me to where the queen was sited.
"My queen, this is a healer...she said she is here to heal the king," the guard said and bowed.
she brought her head up immediately, and with the way she gazed at me, I felt so uncomfortable.
"Who are you??" She asked and I became frightened…
"Oh my God!! My mum didn't explain that this is the type of trouble that I will get myself into" I thought.
"Are you deaf??" I heard and drifted out of my thoughts immediately.
"I'm a healer, and am here to treat the king," I said and blinked my eyes rapidly.
"And why did you think I would believe that you are truly a healer," she said and laughed out loud.
"My queen, I'm a healer and have healed so many people," I said.
"Ok!! Follow me" she said and smiled then stood up while I trailed behind her.
We walked for a while and approached a particular room, Immediately I entered the room and I stared at the room...the room was so beautiful and there are many guards inside the room monitoring him, I met the king he was lying lifeless on the bed. His body looks so pale and I stared at his body but the only thing I noticed was that the queen was just staring at me and I feel so uncomfortable about it...I arched my brows and stared at him then quickly removed the leave from my bag and requested a cup, immediately I collected the cup squeezed the leave and the maids also help him up while I opened his mouth then poured it, as I was instructed then waited for the result.
Queen's Charlotte POV
I stared at the young girl as she squeezed the leave and I felt like smiling because I know she is just wasting her time...the king only has a few days left before he dies like I was told and I really can't wait for his death.
We all stared at the king after she had given him the leaves but there was no sign that he gave him anything.
"There is nothing in this whole wide world that can heal him, I trust that old man he can never give me a fake poison," I thought.
The funniest thing to me is the people that are wasting their time and energy if only they knew he is a dead man already they won't waste be wasting their precious time just to come and heal a dead man.
"No healer can ever heal him no matter how the healer is powerful," I thought and smirked.
Amelia's POV
"What is happening??" I thought.
"I have always seen Amelia heals numerous people and have also noticed that immediately she gives them. the leave they either cough out or sneeze immediately but I haven't seen such a sign yet...the king is still lying lifeless" I thought.
"Wtf!! When my mum knew that the leave won't work why did she send me to do this dangerous task for her?? Why?? Why??" I thought again.
I stared at the king's lifeless body and struggled not to cry.
All the guards and the people in the room were just staring at me so I could talk but I kept mute...the way the queen was staring at me alone was so bad that I felt like the ground should open and swallowed me.
I felt so ashamed of myself and I couldn't believe I came from a long way to here so I could be disgraced.
I was speechless and I couldn't say anything, I turned back and I saw the queen she was still gazing at me.
"So why is the king not awake yet, I had thought you called yourself a healer earlier," she said in a mocking tone.
"I'm so sorry my queen, but I don't think the…..king healing is in my hand" I stammered and said then bowed.
And she grinned immediately.
"Please my queen, I will take my leave now because I came from a very far distance," I said and bowed then ran out shamefully from the room.
On my way outside I was still finding my way outside when I met a young guy at my front and I flinched immediately...he was having guards behind me and I don't need a soothsayer to tell me that he is a prince.
The guy looks so wealthy and I shrugged the thought off and acted like I didn't see him then tried to run off when he grabbed my hand.
"Holly molly!! Why am I facing so much trouble already today, haven't my eyes seen enough" I thought.
And immediately he grabbed my hands he was just staring at me and most especially my ass.
"What is he trying to do?? Does he thinks that am a slot??" I thought.
"Please, What are you trying to do. leave me alone and let me go" I said and tried to remove my hand forcefully.
he walked and turned to check my body so well.
"You look so beautiful," he said.
"Please leave me and let me go this minute," I said angrily.
And before I knew it he placed his hand on my boob and tried pressing it, I didn't hesitate before I landed him a resounding slap.
"How dare you??" I yelled angrily.
"What??" He screamed.
"Guards!! Guards!!" He screamed again.
And before he called them they have surrounded me already.
"Take her to my room!!" He said and they grabbed me immediately.
"I'm doomed!" I thought.
