You, the apocalypse and me! [YiZhan FF] Fantasy

Chapter 39 - The Queen

Immediately I remembered the many dreams in which I reached this way from one point to the next and loved to fly. But I could not land. Whenever I tried, I got faster, flying uncontrollably higher and higher with each attempt. Then I would plummet towards the ground, only to fly up again at the last second, until at some point I fell, woke up, and found myself out of my bed.

And just like in those dreams, that's how I felt at that moment. I flew higher and higher and the fear of falling was huge. But I did not fall, but had the feeling of being grabbed by an invisible force and pulled somewhere. Something grabbed me and pulled me further and further and then everything was dark around me.

Suddenly I found myself in a kind of castle. The walls looked like rock walls of a cave. I heard footsteps and voices and out of reflex I wanted to hide. But then I remembered that I was invisible and went to see who was talking.

I saw King Raha talking to a woman. He called her queen. His wife? No, as I realized when he got down on one knee in front of her and kissed her hand. "My queen, I promise you." He said and she gently stroked his head.

"You must not forget." She said with a smile and sat down on her throne. A few Demoids joined her, guards as I suspected and a Demoid in a noble robe. He sat down on the throne next to the queen. He looked sick and weak, coughing and sweating profusely.

"My beloved, why did you get up? You are supposed to stay in bed and rest." Scolded the queen visibly worried.

"I just wanted to check on you for a moment my dear. I've seen you so seldom in the last few days." Replied the king.

"I had to govern my people. Go back and I promise I will sleep with you tonight." She said and the king nodded. His guards helped him up and carefully took him back out of the throne room.

Raha watched them until they were out of the door and had closed it. Then he walked up to the queen, pulled her up from her throne, wrapped his arms around her and kissed her. "Do you really have to stay with him tonight?" He asked.

"Yes. He'll get suspicious if I don't. Tomorrow night you can come back to my room." Said the queen and kissed Raha. When they released the kiss, the queen went to the door, told the guards to take a break and that she had something personal to discuss with Raha and did not want to be disturbed, closed the door again and locked it.

When she returned to Raha, she stripped off her dress and stood naked in front of him. He wrapped his arms around her, kissed her passionately and they ultimately made love. For some reason I couldn't get away from there, as if someone wanted me to see this. And it wasn't until they were done that I felt that pull on me again and I flew away.

The next moment I saw the queen standing by a grave. She was sniffling into a cloth but had no tears in her eyes. Again and again, she and Raha looked treacherously at each other while everyone around them mourned the deceased young king. The mourners offered their condolences to the young queen and left the scene one by one until only the queen and Raha remained.

"We did it. No one noticed that we poisoned the king. After the Official Mourning Period, I will announce that I want to remarry and look for a new king. As the closest confidant of the late king, I can make you my husband. Then you will finally be king by my side." Said the queen and kissed Raha.

Raha nodded and smiled. He wrapped her in his arms and his smile disappeared. Instead, he showed a treacherous grin that revealed that his plan seemed to be a little different from the queen's. But the latter did not notice the look and clung to him happily. Together they had been putting poison in the king's wine for weeks and he was getting sicker and sicker. The healers and doctors could not explain why the king did not get well and no one knew what was wrong with him. Then he died and the plan of the two secret lovers worked.
