Chapter 40 ( I am unconscious)

my body was in pain like I have not moved for a while and it was dark, very dark but I could hear people talking in the background which made me wonder why they won't tune on the light

" Can someone please turn on the light" I requested but I was ignored, this made me upset " can't anyone hear me " I had an angry tone but still no reply " I will do it by myself" I tried getting up but my body didn't move all " what the fuck is happening to me why can't I move. At this point, I realize that I also could not talk, and my eyes were close which explains the darkness. " wait " I was unconscious, half-unconscious " shit " why was I unconscious, I wondered struggling to move even if it was my finders but nothing, nothing at all " was I dead. If I was dead then I won't be hearing anyone " I was in deep thought, very deep thought " Wait " it then hit me " am I in heaven hearing the angel's conversation" but that can't be it.

listening carefully hoping to get a hit of who it was " I don't agree with this, "

" it doesn't matter if you agree or not, it is something I have decided " my heart skipped a beat the moment I heard that voice. it was Rowan, and he didn't sound happy. but why? why was he sounding so down

" Rowan, it is one against an entire Bengland's army and you know that they are not in their right mind he is using magic to control them. you will get killed" it was Eric and he also didn't sound okay. what is going on?. what am I missing

" I rather die fighting than stay hiding while they slave, my people, " his tone was serious " it is something Natalia would say " his words shocked me. is he mad? yeah I would say so but I don't want him to die. " the people need me, Eric. what kind of King would I be If I'm not there for them "

" well if you won't be a king at all if you die " Eric sounded like he was going to cry " What about Natalia. if something happens to you she will not take it " Eric was right. if something happens to him, I won't be okay. where is he going, why does he sounds so desperate to die?. what is happening in Bengland? How long have I been unconscious? I felt so frustrated

" Natalia?" I felt his warm hands against mine " she will be okay, I know she will "

" Rowan. how do you plan to face Jordan " Eric asked? taking me by surprise by the mention of that name. Jordan? wait Jordan is already here, then the king? is he dead? " I will think of something " Rowan replied

" ok. but you know Natalia may come to find if she wakes "

" Yeah, I know. I just hope she doesn't. I want her to be safe"

Rowan is going through a hard time and was still thinking about my safety. he cares so much about me. I have never imagined that someone this amazing would love me and here I am, sleeping when he needs me. I hate myself so much. why is it that whenever someone I love needs me I am not able to do anything? first my mom now Rowan. fuck it.

ROWAN'S POV

walking out of the small building I spot Eric preparing the horses for our travel. I told him not to come with me but he refused, I didn't want to lose another person that I love.

it has been a month since the explosion. I woke up two weeks ago but Natalia has shown no sign of waking up. I was assured that she will be alright

we were saved by the head of this small village far from Bengland and I was in shock to find out that they were Natalia's family. I was confused and still am. I thought she was the princess of Aldovia.

they wanted to explain it to me but I refused. I wanted Natalia to do so. I wanted her to know that she could trust me as much as I trust her and open up to me.

during the period I was here, Bengland was attacked by a man named Jordan. he had no army but he has great power. Magic. My father was killed and my sister is been held captive. he made himself king and it turns out he was the one my Uncle was helping and I still do not know why. my people are been slaved and I have to help them. I don't know how, I don't know what step to take, I only have Eric with me and I have to protect Natalia. My father was right, I am still weak

" Your friend is right " I was suddenly interrupted by that familiar female voice.

I turn around and before me stood that beautiful woman, with red hair like Natalia but darker brown eyes. the woman who claims to be Natalia's aunt

" Pardon?"

" your friend was right. you shouldn't go. you will end up killing yourself" she said

" you should understand why I am doing this. you would do the same for your people" I explained hoping she would understand

" I know. but sometimes it's best to wait, stay hidden and observe. know your enemy's weaknesses and strengths that way you will know how to strike "

" but there is no time to wait "

" There is always time to wait. while you wait you use the time wisely " she had a serious tone " I know that you want to save your people but this is not just about your people, it's about the world " her words got me confused

" I don't understand" I had confusion written all

" Now that Jordan is collecting all the stones, he is after the word not just Bengland. " I was in shock. " Bengland was his first target because he needs a strong army and Bengland has the strongest soldiers " she Explained " so going there to kill him is not a wise decision"

" But I have to do something"

" and you will. to defeat someone stronger than you, you have to hit it slowly till it gets weak." I stared at the woman for so long. she was indeed Natalia's aunt

" I see where Natalia got her intelligence from " I complimented and she smiled brightly. this reminded me of Natalia
