<p>Zeidan lay still on his bed. Ever since Lyne left, he had been miserable and fallen ill and his health was not showing any sign of improvement. He reflected on how it all started a week and some days after Lyne left him and was said to be dead. He collapsed after dinner one fateful night and the people around had rushed to call Stevenson, his royal doctor. He had such blackouts again weeks later. Stevenson advised him to stop brooding and said he needed to take a lot of things off his mind. He had adhered to this and had stopped every thought that bothered him. Still, he was not improving.</p>
<p>Lyne couldn’t have survived this long, even if he was to believe she was alive. It saddened him greatly and his doctor has been giving him syrup to help him get better. Sometimes, he feels better, some other times, he feels worse.</p>
<p> He was sure he was losing the war with Shelbrooke now as his army was without their commander. Luana had stood in the gap most times and this had helped him to change his motif towards her. Before he fell sick, he was going to press a lot of charges against her for all the things she had done especially her conspiracy against Wikh. He had heard the noise outside and had inquired about it from Luana before she left him but he got no response from her. He managed to sit up in bed and made up his mind to go and check what was going on.</p>
<p> Suddenly, the noise stopped and he began to wonder what it was all about. Luana was surely talking to them by now, perhaps they had somehow managed to win against Shelbrooke, or maybe it was Shelbrooke that was knocking on his door. Perhaps his army has invaded his city and is already forcing everyone to surrender. He felt so bad because there was nothing he could do about anything now due to his health. He was too weak and vulnerable. If it was the latter, then he has failed his people greatly. </p>
<p> He grabbed the bedside table and used it as a support to stand up from where he was. Slowly he walked towards the door in pain. He had not been outside the palace for months now. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>He got to the entrance to his room and stepped into the corridor that leads to the hallway. He grabbed the wall for support and walked into the palace hall. The noise outside now was louder than the first and it resembled a cry of agony. He walked towards his throne and then, Luana walked into the hall. </p>
