Only ten minutes had passed when suddenly the old King on the sickbed began to convulse, his teeth grating loudly and his bones seeming to creak, making onlookers' scalps tingle with numbness.

The old King, in front of his son and daughter, still resembled a loving father, "You two are good children, daddy knows. But, how did I suddenly get better?"
