One day, in the country Neuschwanston all the citizens here are all very excited about the labor of their Queen and their future leader. Meanwhile in palace, all the people here are panicked but excited at once. And one of the room of the palace - unlike the other room in the palace, it's a normal one - were located the King whom keep pacing around. The King is a middle age man, very handsome and tall, has a blonde hair whose stuck improperly at the back and has a pair of blue orb eyes. He is too much anxious of his children and wife's faith.
Just a months ago, the Queen feel ill while having a pregnancy. No one can tell what kind of illness is this so naturally no one also know how to cure it since they even don't the details about this illness let alone to counter it. The doctor whom checked the Queen condition said that when the Queen labor come there are only slim chances that both the children and the mother to survive in the process. The Queen might die in the process or worst the children and the Queen might both die. The doctor already advised the king to be ready for whatever might come.
After a minute or so, the midwife came. This make the King come to his senses.
"Your highness the Queen is already give birth the children! It's twin! One girl, one boy! But the Queen....." The midwife said. She stopped abruptly.
"What happened?! SAY IT!!!" King said frustrated at how she act. The midwife can't get herself say it because she's afraid of what the King might do to her if she say a bad news. The door suddenly open again and this catch everyone's attention. At the open door, there standing butler Ian. Butler Ian is the Queen most trusted person. He is tall and has dark skin. He is mid bald and has gray hairs and always holding an hour glass and no one knows why. He also have a magnifying glass in his right eye but none on the left. Butler Ian bow.
"My King, her majesty wish to see you." Butler Ian said.
He immediately run toward the room where his wife is. The two also follow him. As he get nearer and nearer to the room he heard a baby's cry louder and louder. He entered the room and he see his fragile wife at the bed smiling sweetly while watching her children. The two also come but the King dismissed them and he wish a privacy with the Queen. The Queen are petite women and very beautiful, her hair is wavy and blonde and has a pale skin with a pair of beautiful green eyes. The King go to his wife side and gently sat at her side.
" What is it, Elizabeth?" The King said with teary eyes.
"Oh! My dear Arthur! Your still as handsome as I remember you!" The Queen said gently.
"Oh! My dear Elizabeth! Your still the most beautiful woman in my life! Just straight to the point. What is it?? " The King said, trying to fight back his tears.
"Arthur, this necklace of mine give this one to our daughter. This necklace will protect her from the danger of the future." Placing the hearth pendant necklace at her husband hands. "And this one is for our son, when the right time comes he will know it where to use it." Placing the another necklace with key pendant at her husband hands. "From now on our children is on your care." The Queen said and smiled weakly.
"Oh! Elizabeth! Your saying that as if your going to leave me. You know that I can't take care a two children on my own without your help. Don't leave me, please."
"Arthur, Arthur I know you can and it's already my time! I need to go. I don't want to fight my fate, if my fate said I'm going to die then I will let it happen" The Queen said. "Now, now I'm so happy to see you in my last breath. Give those necklace to them when they already gain a knowledge. I will always love you."
And on that cue she died. The King sat there quietly crying holding his wife hands for a minutes or so.
"Your highness what are you going to name the children?" Said by the familiar voice.
The King startled by butler Ian's approach. The King didn't notice butler Ian already enter the room because he is so absurd by his grieve. The King hide his face and wipe away all his tears before answering.
"What do you think?" The King said wearing a sad smile.
"S-sir?!" Shocked by what the King's said.
The King chuckled. "Just kidding." The King said. "The boy I will name him as Zeus cause I wanted him to became a great leader as Zeus and Hero cause I wanted him to be the Hero of our country. For the girl one I'll name her as Athena because I wanted her to as wise as Athena so that she can assist her brother to his throne and Hope 'cause I wanted her to became the string of hope for everyone that will never been break."
The King watch his children closely for a couple of minutes. There he notice that Zeus look like him. Has blue orb eyes but Zeus is crying, the maid explain that they tried to make him stop but he never stop. The real one who really caught his attention is Athena because she has a black hair. As far as the King know, none of his or his wife ancestors possess a black hair and the rest she look like her mother. Unlike his brother, Athena is the most cherished one and she laugh and delighted at the sight of her father. After that, the King entrusted the children to butler Ian and bid a farewell cause he's already tired and need to rest.
The news about the Queen's death spread immediately throughout the country. The King destructing himself about at the garden because he can't sleep. It's already late at night and there are only few who is awake and it is just a few guards on night shift. He's looking at the stars remembering all the happy memories he has with his wife and suddenly remember something, it is before the illness strike at the Queen.
~🌸👑👺👑🌸~
They are at the top of an hill overlooking at the whole city of daledalion sitting under the tree and enjoying the wind and the surrounding. The guards are not with them because the Queen sent them away to secure the surrounding area in case some assassin come. Suddenly there's a person appear not to far from there location. It is hooded with a black cloak and it is looking at them as if waiting for them to come. The first one who notice this person is the Queen. The Queen gasped and said.
"Arthur look!" pointing at the hooded one. "She's looking at us as if it wanted for one of us to come. Wait me there, ok? I'm just going to check it out." The Queen added. The King immediately felt suspicious about this person.
"Elizabeth, are you serious? We didn't know who is that person and your going talk to that? How about let me talk to it?" The King said. The Queen know that her husband is very cautious and there's sometimes a chance that the King got in trouble only because he is too cautious that's why she refuse.
"No Arthur, I know you. So PLEASE stay here and wait for me. Ok?" The Queen said gently. The King still didn't agree to her and going to speak but the Queen look at him pleadingly. The Queen know that he can't refuse her.
"O-ok. But Elizabeth be careful ok?" The King said.
"Don't worry hun. I'll be careful." The Queen said and smile at him triumphantly. The King watch his wife as she go. While the Queen talking at the hooded person, the King just watch them intently from afar. The top of hill is clear and only grass is here and two big tree parallel to each other the other is where the King and Queen sat lately and the other one is where the hooded person suddenly appear so the King can see every move they're doing. While they are talking the King see that almost all the blood on the Queen face gone. The King's look at them fiercely, in his mind he really really wanted to know what they are talking. After a minutes or so, the Queen go back to there old place.
"What did it say?" The King said.
"Ah.... Eh... I-its nothing." The Queen lied and laugh fakely. The King look at her as if scanning her.
"Hey, hey, what's with that expression?" The Quen said. "Let's go back! The babies are already kicking I think I already need rest."
~🌸👑👺👑🌸~
Unknowingly to King he is being watch. At far corner of the garden, there standing a person that is wearing a black hooded cloak. It is standing at the dark, you can't see it's body because it's too dark at that side but still can it's eyes because it's glowing in red light. It is the same person who visit the Queen before she got an strange illness. It peacefully watching the King will he's daydreaming later on it smile.
"Don't worry my King for the heir of demon God is already born in complete." It said and laugh cruelly in low voice, just enough for only itself to hear and then it just gone as if there's no one standing there all the time.
The King come back to reality because he felt that someone watching him so he around him but he didn't see anyone. He just let it pass and decided that it's his imagination. He look at his watch and see that it's already 5:00 am.
"How fast time flies." The King said to himself and sighed. He feel the tiredness and decided to take a rest already. On the following day come he focus himself on the burial of the Queen and work, until it come to the funeral of the Queen. After that no one see the King smile again.
