Rumors

Greetings your Highness.

You may rise. A Good looking middle aged man with a golden crown on his head responded.

Yes, my king.

I called you all here to inform you about the Karan festival.

There should be no mistake.

This year, it is our kingdom's turn to hold the festival and different kingdom's are coming.

I repeat. Mistakes are not allowed.

I'm I understood. King James yelled in authority.

Yes.

...................

Her Highness.

Why do you think , the King gave all the ladies in the harem a duty to do in this occasion. A tan skin maid asked.

His majesty knows it all. Queen Elsa said with a slight smile.

............

Your Highness, your Highness, there is good news. A man rushed into the king's room shouting.

How dare you trespass the king's chamber. Guar.....

Don't worry Luis. King James interrupted his personal advisor and turned to look at the handsome man who barged in and asked

What is the good news Thomas.

Your Highness. Your illness can be cured. Thomas replied in excitement.

What!! The King stood up in surprise and asked for a repetition of that statement.

Your Highness. Your illness has hope. Thomas repeated in enthusiasm.

Hahahahahahaha. There is hope, hope, hope. Stand up and speak. King James said with a wave of his hand hinting at Thomas to stand.

Yes my Lord.

Sit and talk slowly. King James said calmly after the momentary loss of composure.

My Lord. Two months ago, I've been hearing rumors that a divine doctor was in town. It was said that he could cure all illness. At that time, I felt like it there were just rumors or maybe the people were overestimating this doctor.

Until I noticed little movements coming from General John' abode. Rumors spread again that it was this same doctor that cured General John' illness.

Your majesty, you know better than any one; what General John was suffering from.

Thomas explained.

Jim. King James whispered a name

My king.

Make arrangements. I want to meet this doctor.

Yes.
