The Unexpected Death

The king of Eastender felt so paralyzed when he heard the severe condition that the soldier was battling with at his youth age.

Imagine someone without a tongue to speak to his or her colleges,that will be a life of silence for such person.

The king then brought out a piece of book and pen for him to write out all what happened and all what he could remember about that night. But unfortunately,all he could remember was only when he woke up from coma . The king then said

 "Do you mean he can't remember anything that happened that night?, why did you bring him here? , but no one could answer. A deep voice produced by the king's brother then said ..

 "I will keep him with me until he regains his memory ". We must know who the devil is". Everyone agreed with his opinion not knowing that that was the last day they will see the soldier alive.

As the king's maid walked down to the injured soldier's room with some set of drinks and oats, she saw the soldier's corpse lying on the ground in cold blood.

 She screamed down to the king, crying and speaking with broken tone " My Lord... My Lord..".

 What's the problem? The king asked.

"The soldier is dead !" She replied, rubbing her self on the ground.

 What!, A dead body in my palace?, no..no..no, this can't be ".

As the king wanted to take a step to go see the corpse, the queen dragged him back and said. Have you forgotten that the king of Eastender must not see a dead body". A king looking at a dead body in Eastender is forbidden. It's an abomination to the gods of Eastender.

 He couldn't go close to the dead body more or less of sighting it. Then the king told his brother to go and look at what's going on. When he got there, he saw him completely dead on the ground with a pen on his right hand. Blood was all over his body. The position he saw the soldier shows that he stabbed himself with a pen on his chest to death.On the other hand of his corpse he found a book on the table,filled with some written word.He then picked it up and gave it to the King.The king collected it and read

"Long live the King,I wish I could live longer than this but I have no other choice but to free myself from this pains I'm passing through.The devil might might break into the palace all because of me and that would put you all in a serious danger.All I could remember from that night was when the devil slashed all the soldiers and sons of the chief with sword and hook,I was unable to see what he looks like because of the darkness,I was not even able to shoot an arrow because of the fear in my soul. Long Live the King"

"What sort of a living creature will kill himself as a sacrifice for a flesh like him not to get killed"the king said.He then left their presence with anger and sat on his throne, thinking about the crisis and calamity going on in his forefathers city.Almost all the families in the Eastender city has relocated and found their way out of the city saying "What if the devil gets tired of killing in the night and switch his evil works to the daytime when people are supposed to buy and sell to survive"

The king was so preoccupied at that moment. His son walked up to him and said"Dad,My Lord let's stop finding solutions and let's leave this city before we die young in this palace"

The king was so sad and shattered when he heard that word from the prince. His one and only son who's supposed to take over the throne in peace and harmony is wishing to be absent in the kingdom.

The king then said to him " my prince, don't be afraid, you will surely sit on this throne and rule the people of Eastender just as our ancient prince did. There's nothing that goes up and never comes down, why?, because, it's all made from the ground itself. They all belongs to the ground not the sky. I will bring down the devil with all my strength,breaths, sweat and the power of our most high God who rules this town with our ancestors, go to bed,you don't need to run nor tarry" okay?.

The prince then walked back to his room with a little piece of mind and assurance that all what his father said will surely come to pass. The princess was also mute and bothered after seeing her father's condition.

The king had a son and a daughter , the prince was named prince Bryan while the princess name was princess Victoria. The prince was about 15 years old when this critical crisis was going on while the princess was 18 years old. She was a young beautiful girl filled with wisdom and endowed with beauty of a goddess. She then went straight to her father to console him with the high level of her kindness by holding on to his left hand and placing the other on top of his right hand like a brave boy covering a fly with his bare hands. She looked at him and said "Dad, everything will be alright".

This word from the princess made the king to burst out in tears like a baby. As the queen saw him shedding tears, she shaked her head and said " Shameless king".
