"My queen are you sure about this you know you aren't well". Lily said as she brushed my hair.
"Lily I am fine, I just need to rest but that will be after the king's killer is found,make me look pretty".I said as I wore my earrings.
"My queen, are you sure you are going to be alright".She said as she tied my hair in a bun.
"Lily this is my fight,I am unhappy with this but what can I do, it's been seven days I still his killer hasn't been found, the pressure from the people,the court and the family was too much so I had to agree with the burial".I said.
"My queen but you shouldn't be wearing this". lily said worriedly.
"I am not mourning him until I find his killer, I look very pretty today, don't I".I said as I stood up admiring myself.
"My queen you look very beautiful but it's not suitable for....."
"I am so excited today".I said smiling deep down,I was shattered,I couldn't bear to attend his burial.
"My queen you will be fine,I know you are strong woman don't break down in front of them".Lily said reassuringly.
"You are becoming smarter by the day but thank you".I said faking a smile. We heard a knock and lily opened it.
"Greetings my queen". Stephan said.he looked really shocked.
"Greetings Stephan,Is there something on my face".I said.
"My queen my apologies but you look too beautiful to be mourning".he said.
"I am not mourning him,we need to find his killer and I will not rest until I find the killer". I said calmly.
"My queen let's go". Stephan said calmly and we left.
"Mother your daughter in-law has an habit of keeping everyone waiting"prince clayford said as they waited at the royal grave site.at the back of the mansion. everyone gathered there, it was jam-packed with people.
"She is really troublesome, after the burial we will send her back home before she causes more problems for us". prince Martin said angrily.
"She isn't my daughter in-law, she is just bad luck her presence here has brought troubles and has led to the death of my son". Lady Isabelle cried as knelt down.
"Mother stop being dramatic". Prince clayford said as he glared at her.
"I want to die, why did my poor son die, I should have died in his place"lady Isabelle cried loudly.
"I want to die with him,I cannot live without him".Milan cried.as the guards brought in the coffin and they laid it on the stand.
" priest please start the procedure". lady Isabelle cried.
"We need to wait for the queen".the priest said.
"The queen has been wasting too much time, we cannot delay this any further". Prince clayford said.
"Let's wait for the queen,the king would have wanted the queen to be present for his burial". lord simon said irritatedly.
"She resented the king,and he wouldn't want her here".prince Martins shot back.
"Here comes the queen".the spokesman said as I walked in with guards to ensure that they don't play dirty tricks.everyone was shocked.
"Greetings everyone my apologies for keeping you all waiting I had important things to attend thank you all for coming let's all note that anyone who tries to create a scene here will be heavily punished".I said smiling.
"How could you do this, this isn't a fashion show but our husband's burial, you should have at least be decent and show respect for the dead".milan cried.she wanted to touch me but the guards blocked her.
"I am not mourning him and let's get this burial done with".I said.
"What the heck is wrong with you".prince clayford said in disbelief.
"Let's just do as she says everyone is watching".lord Simon said.
"How dare you interrupt the prince you low life".prince Martins said angrily.
"Seize them".I said and the guards held prince Martins and prince clayford.
"How dare you disgrace the royal family". Lady Isabelle screamed.
"Bring your voice down or I will have the guards seize you as well".l said as I glared at them.I was expecting them to respect themselves today.
"Ariadne you cannot order us all like we are your puppets, you are a murderer and you are not fit to be queen".Lady Isabelle screamed as they seized her.
"Are you all mad, what's the meaning of this, you all ought to respect yourselves today but since you all are disrespectful I will teach you all how to behave".I said.
"Ariadne,I will make you pay for this, how dare you disrespect me like this, guards let go of me".she said while struggling to get away from their grip.
"You hypocrite, you look dressed for a party than a burial".prince Martins said.
"Not another word,the burial is about to commence,If you continue to speak nonsense I will throw you out in the dungeon".I warned and they kept quiet.
"Now we all are gathered here to witness the passing ceremony of our king, he was truly a great king but it's unfortunate that he couldn't lead us for a long time, before the ceremony begins let the queen come forward".the priest said calmly and I came forward.
I was really nervous, my hands were shaking and sweaty.I summoned courage and opened the coffin. My heart felt a sharp pain, Nathan looked so pale and weak.It was so hard to hide my tears.
"It's the king".I managed to say and Nathan eyes opened.I fell down in shock.
"Gosh this is so uncomfortable". Nathan said as he sat up. Everyone ran out except for the family members.
"What's going on here".Nathan said as he came out of the coffin.
"Nathan". Milan said as she hugged him.
"How dare you touch me". Nathan said as he pushed milan away.
"How is this possible,I must be dreaming". Lady Isabelle said in shock.
"Nathan, my boy".lord Simon cried.
"I am not nathan, my name is Jonathan, I need to rest, I am really tired".Nathan said as he yawned.
"This cannot be happening, how can this happen".prince martins yelled in shock.
"This is so uncomfortable".nathan said as he removed his coat.
"Escort the king to his room Stephan".I said drlyly as I stood up.I was trying so hard to maintain my balance.
"My king, let's go to your room". Stephan said.
"Let's go".Nathan said and they left.
Now we all sat at the main hall,I couldn't still couldn't process what just happened. I could tell they were all afraid and shocked, I was too but I needed to stay calm.
"How can a man that has been dead for days, come back to life". prince clayford said in confusion.
"I find it very shocking,my heart fell from my chest when I saw him come out of the coffin". Lydia said.
"Nathan is supposed to be dead,how come is alive, this must be a dream". lady Isabelle said.
"Let's be happy that he is alive and well". lord simon said calmly.
"Oldman you weren't asked to speak okay, keep your nonsense to yourself we don't want to hear it".prince martins said dismissively.
"What's wrong with all of you, the king is alive let's just move on, we all are supposed to celebrating right now, the king is alive or maybe some of us here wanted him dead".I said calmly.
"What do you mean by that we are just shocked,the king's death was a pain for all of us".prince martins said.
"Really then him being alive shouldn't be a bother then, What's all this bickering about". I said while staring at them.
"I am really happy that my husband is alive but am confused as well".milan said smiling.
"Anyone that is unhappy about the king's awakening will be branded as a criminal".I said and then my head began to spin.
"How dare you".prince Martins said as he threw a flower vase at me but Nathan caught it right on time.
"You don't treat my wife like that". Nathan said as threw the vase back at him. Luckily Martins dodged it.I couldn't see properly, I wanted to fall but nathan held me.
"I...." and I fainted.
"get the doctor now".nathan yelled as he carried me in his arms.
