"Mother it's all your choice to make, either you let him get treated now or I will kill myself right in your presence" Princess Mera threatened!
While Queen Merl was looking at her as she was seriously trying to force the sword into her throat and that's already irritating Queen Merl which she could no longer watch her do that.
"Alright! Alright! just stop that okay!" Queen Merl said but Mera was still not ready to stop.
"Guards!" Queen Merl called out and the door opened as some guards ran in and bows for her as usual. "My Queen" They said while bowing for her.
"Take the boy out of the prison and get him to Zeb for immediate treatment" She ordered as they bows again and walked out of the hall.
And then Princess Mera threw away the sword in her hand as she steps closer to her mother's face.
"Mother... if anything happens to that boy, I will never forgive you!" She threatened as she angrily storms out of the Queen's presence.
She ran to meet up with the guards who are already taking Mezie to the clinic where Zeb takes care of all the patients.
"Wait! take him straight to my room and go and call Zeb for me, tell him to come and treat him in my room" Princes Mera ordered as one of the guards bows for her and did as she said while the others took Mezie into her bed and left.
"Mezie! can you hear me! Mezie!" Mera began to call on him but Mezie could no longer answer, he is at the point between life and death.
Mezie was even struggling to keep his eyes open as he was dying slowly "Come on! Come on, stay with me" Mera said and then her door opened.
"Oh Zeb you are here! please check if there is anything you can do for him!" Mera said as Zeb steps forward.
Though Zeb is an old man but no one can challenge him in the kingdom of KingsHeaven or even from another Kingdom when it comes to taking care of patients, he treats any kind of patient.
He is a very good therapist and he is the best at what he does, so he examines Mezie within a few seconds.
"He will die within any moment from now" Zeb said as Mera interrupted. "then do something quick please!" She begged and Zeb looks at one of the guards.
"Please go get me my equipments" He ordered as Mera felt so weakened hearing that statement from Zeb. 
"Come on, why the hell did you come to this place at first without your equipment! someone is dying here" She said as she placed her hand on her head looking so devastated.
"Calm down my princess I will take care of him" Zeb replied to Mera who is already sweating.
Within a few moments the guard ran in with his equipment and then Zeb began to prepare some medicine for Mezie.
While Mera stepped close to Mezie and touches his heart and discovered that his heart is beating down slowly so she looks up to Zeb.
"Come on! he is dying! he is finding it hard to breathe!" Mera said with tears in her eyes as she is already trembling in fear.
While Zeb was quietly and hurriedly preparing the medicine for Mezie.
Within a few minutes he is done, he applied the first one on Mezie's injured ribs and on his wounded leg.
And finally put some into his mouth while princess Mera places her hand on his chest again and discovered that his heart is no longer beating.
"No! No! Mezie wake up! wake up please" she cried as she shakes and slaps Mezie on his face and he still didn't move.
She fell on top his body and began to weep "Gush! am sorry Mezie! I'm sorry that I couldn't save you! I did my best!" She started saying and she began to weep.
Zeb tried to touch her but she pushed his hand away as she turns her back on Zeb looking outside the window as more tears were dropping down from her eyes.
"Am sorry my princess, you did all you can to save him" Zeb said to her as she looks at him with a deep sad face that Zeb have never seen her into before.
She is ready to sacrifice her life for this boy, Zeb was so amazed because he has never see her cared for someone the way she is caring for Mezie.
"Yes I did my best but my best wasn't enough! he died! that innocent kid died just because of my greedy mother" She said as she puts her head on top of Zeb's shoulder crying bitterly and Zeb began to Patt her on her back gently as she continues weeping.
And Just in they heard a noise making on top of the table which they turned and saw Mezie eating the food on top of the nearest table to him and the food was ment for princess Mera.
And he was drinking water that moment they set their eyes on him.
They were shocked as he is sitting on top of the bed.
"Am sorry but I was hungry" He said as he thought that they we are staring at him in that manner because of the food he was eating.
Immediately Mezie made that statement Mera smiled happily as she rushed him and hugs him.
"Mezie, thanks to the gods that you are alive because I couldn't have forgiven myself if anything happened to you" Princess Meta said as she kisses his forehead while Mezie struggled to take another piece of food from the plate.
"Don't worry about that, I will feed you" Mera said with smiles and Mezie relaxed as she brings the plate closer to herself and began to cut the meats little by little and she began to feed him.
While doing that she looks at Zeb who was already smiling at her. "All thanks to you Zeb, if it wasn't for you I don't know what I could have done" Mera said as Zeb nods.
"It's fine My princess, there's no need of appreciating me because that's the reason why I'm here and nothing more"
"And am doing this for Queens Town" Zeb replied as Mera shrugged her shoulder.
"But while is he being so hungry" Mera asked as Zeb smiles and steps closer to Mezie.
"That's caused by the medicine but he will be fine very soon, just feed him to the fullest" Zeb said as he bends down and checks more on Mezie's wounded leg and ribs.
"He still need a proper remedy so you should bring him to my chamber after he is done eating" Zeb said as princess Mera still insisted.
"Get all the things you need and come here to treat him now" Mera said as Zeb bows for her. "Okay my princess" he said before leaving her present.
"If you need help, you are free to call on any of the guards to assist you" Mera said as Zeb turns and looks at her and still continues walking away.
And that is just to let her know that he has heard what she said.
"Mera" Mezie called on her immediately Zeb left the room.
"Yes my king, is there anything you would like to let me know?" Mera asked as Mezie nods.
"What's it? you are free to talk to me about it" She requested to know as Mezie takes a deep breath.
"You promised that after the fight am leaving to Seldom" Mezie said as Mera looks down in frustration as she knew that Mezie's request is almost in possible right now, looking at the situation.
"Mmm?" Mezie said as Mera smiled at him. "Yeah I did promise you that, but that is not now"
"You have been wounded all over your body, what you should be concentrated now is how to recover from your injuries, right?" Mera said as Mezie nods to her words.
And then she touched his cheeks softly as she kept being happy, she doesn't know why but she always feels so deferent sitting beside this little man.
He always puts smile on her face "And after recovery?" Mezie asked and that made Mera to almost stammered.
"Don't worry, you should recover from your injury first and then we will see through that" She said and Mezie nods as he finally puts his head down to the bed and sleeps back.
"Come on are you no longer eating?" Mera asked as he waves his head. "No, am full" He said as Mera keeps down the food at the side and began to pet him to sleep.
She knows that she can't let Mezie leave, personally on her own but if he insists she will let him go but the big threat now is her mum.

KNIGHTS OF KINGSHEAVEN.
Tennyson and his team are already close to Seldom as they can sight the city.
"My prince we are already seeing the city of Seldom so we should keep our Dragon here and reach out with our leg" Athena said to prince Tennyson as they are already approaching.
"We are not stopping! we will fly into the city, no one dares to question the prince of KingsHeaven" Prince Tennyson said as Athena tried to interrupt.
"But my prince..." she was still trying to say and Tennyson interrupted her.
"Just shut the fuck up and stick to my words!" Tennyson said as Athena shuts her up and they all heads to Seldom with their dragon.
Just arriving at the palace, there are already troops of armies that is waiting for them with their daggers and swords pointed at Tennyson and his troops.
They flew down gently as their dragon lands on the ground they were all surrounded by knights.
"Hey..." Tennyson was still trying to make a statement when the commander of the armies shut him up.
"You make any statement I blow your head off!" He said as Tennyson smiled.
"Athena can you imagine, this guy has no..." He was saying but suddenly stopped as he looks at his side and there was no sign of Athena.
He looks closer among them and there was no sign of Athena in their midst.
"Where is Athena?" He asked but the knights are just recognizing that Athena is not with them too.
No one has the idea of where she is and she is actually their back bone without her they can't do a shit.
