Chapter 4 I need my Dad

The King and The Queen were giving instructions to the guard on how to get the Prince and Princess back, when Kiara walked in with Josh.

Kiara, what happened? Oh my Lord.

Guards take him to his room and call the doctor. The king said(two guards helped Josh to his room).

Guard, get the cloth and steam water.

Dad, mom please leave the room. I don't want you to feel unhappy on seeing the injuries.

(Kiara started treating his wounds.)

Long live the King, the doctor is here.

Bring her in, King Ramon said.

(The guard took the doctor to Josh's room)

My princess can you please step outside.

OK, Kiara said leaving the room.

An hour had passed but the Doctor hasn't left the room.

Mom, what is....

Shut up!! Queen Alice said.

You started this and your brother is paying for it, Kiara why?

We told you to do nothing just wait until I tell you the problem, but you were in a hurry to kill the enemy and see what you have done to your brother.

Mom, please I did not .....

(The doctor comes out of the room)

My King, the Prince is fine.

OK, Doctor

May I take my leave, the doctor said.

I will escort you to the door, Kiara said

(Kiara escorts the Doctor while the others goes in to see Josh )

Josh,Kiara ran and hugged him.

Ah, Josh shouted.

I'm sorry, Kiara said wiping her tears.

Don't worry I'm too brave for a few arrows to kill me and even if I were to die I will keep coming back for sword practice even after death

(Kiara smiles)

Have you forgotten about your mom, the Queen said.

Never. Josh said and hugged her.

Mom, I am fine so please stop crying.

OK.

Where is the King? Josh asked looking around.

He will soon be here. Queen Alice said.

Long live the Queen, the King has requested you all to join him in the discussion room.

(A guard said from the door)

OK we will be there.

Kiara you are in a lot of trouble, Josh said walking towards the door.

Kiara let's go.

***In the discussion room **

Dad you called me.... Kiara said walking into the room with Josh and the Queen.

I called you.... but not now.... he slowly turns looking at Kiara right in the eyes.

D.... Do.. my.. king, Kiara stammers, I'm.. sorry.

Sorry!! King Ramon yelled.

You broke my number one rule by leaving the palace and without my permission especially when we were been attacked and you endangered your....

(Kiara cuts in)

Dad, I'm...

I was not done talking ,King Ramon yelled at her. Since you were born I raised three of you with love but your twin sister fell in love with a fool and ran off with him and.... still I kept no restrictions on you, I still love and gave you whatever you wanted.

Dad, I am sorry I just wanted to know...

(Kiara said with tears rolling down her cheeks).

Know what? Kiara

You are so stubborn just like your sister, Claire.

Dad, please forgive her, Josh said.

Shut up, I wasn't talking to you, King Ramon said to Josh.

Dad, it's not my fault.

What do you mean? King Ramon said looking into her eyes with angry.

Dad, days were passing by and our people were been attacked and killed, I couldn't have sat back and watched how they were been killed.

I'm dissapointed in you. King Ramon said.

Dad if you had told us what was happening in our kingdom, then...

Then what? ( Queen Alice said walking towards Kiara)

Kiara, he is not only your Dad but the King and you can't talk to him with such disrespect.

No, mom I am not the princess of Serail. I am just a caring daughter who wants to help her dad to discover a solution to this dreadful killing.( Tears rolling down her cheeks)

Kiara, I am dissapointed in you, I am disappointed in my upbringing. I... I always praised your skill, your beauty and your brave nature but your brave nature has brought a huge reminder on how your sister ran away with a demon and your brave nature has crushed my trust in you.

King Ramon walks out.

You didn't answer my question, Kiara said in a loud voice.

I am the King and I am not obligated to answer your questions.

Then I am not a princess talking to the King but I'm a daughter talking to her father and when a daughter is having a conversation with her dad no one not even a King can interrupt them.

Kiara is this how you talk to the King, the Queen angrily said.

I am not talking to the King, I just need my father's attention, the same father who cherished me, the father who loves me and praised my skills, who always taunt my cooking skills but always asked for more of my food. Dad I don't want the King just my dad.

(Kiara falls to her kneels)

Kiara!! Josh runs towards her and helps her up.

Dad, please our kingdom is turning into a graveyard, everyday not less than four hundred people die both young and old. Dad this will continue if you don't tell us. We are your family, a family means group of people who you trust, talk to and share your thoughts, feeling both good and bad. please I need you back, Kiara said walking towards the King. Dad I... I. need.. (Kiara fell to the ground)

Kiara!!! Someone call the doctor, King Ramon said.

Dad, looks like she has fainted.

Carry her to her room.(Josh picks up Kiara not minding his pains from the arrows).

Guards call the doctor, King Ramon said.

Kiara!! Josh laid her down on the bed.

Kiara, please open your eyes. Queen Alice said shaking her.

(Josh runs out of the room)

Guards summon any doctor available now.

Yes your Highness, the guards said leaving the palace.

It has been thirty minutes since we had called the doctor but none had arrived. Kiara hasn't opened her eyes or made a movement. the whole palace were in complete silence, the maids were praying and the guards were moving to find a Doctor.
