The Last Confessor Episode 31

(She’s the last of her kind….)

By: Kebby NG

Isabelle woke up feeling better and energized. She yawned lightly and got up from her bed.

Her head was pounding and it ached because of how long she had cried. Her eyes felt heavy too and she knew it would be bulgy and puffy.

She stood on her feet and slipped her legs in her slippers. When she peeped through her window, she discovered that night has already come and it was dark outside.

She had slept for long and she wondered why nobody came to wake her up; even Mia but she was glad too that nobody had disrupted her sleep.
She needed the sleep a lot.

Isabelle suddenly thought of the king – is he awake? Did the herbs work on him?

She didn’t have anyone to answer her questions and she badly needed answers.

She sighed tiredly and walked out of her room quietly.

***************

The king’s eyes finally opened fully and he groaned because of the sharp pain he felt on his head.
“He is really awake! Oh my God!” Roseline gasped happily.

“Of my! The herbs worked!” Princess Rayna said happily and held the king’s hand in hers.

They were so happy.
“Wa…ter…” The king muttered lowly almost inaudible but Roseline and princess Rayna heard him clearly because they were close to him.

“Okay. I’ll go get it right away.” Roseline beamed and quickly ran out of the room.

“How are you feeling?” The queen asked with a smile and helped him seat on the bed.
“I’m fine mother.” He said calmly.

“I was so worried about you, I thought I’ve lost you.” The queen said with a sad sigh.

Roseline walked in with a cup of water in a small tray and moved closer to the king. She gave him the cup and he drank every single drop from the water.

He breathed out a sigh of relief and handed the cup back to Roseline who took it and dropped it back on the tray, with a smile on her face.

“How did I get healed?” The king asked, after a brief silence between them in the room.

The queen turned to look at princess Rayna; a questioning look.

“Well, erm…I made researches and I was able to get the herbs for it. I did it my king.” Princess Rayna smiled proudly.

The king patted her hair and smiled, a smile that disappeared just the way it came.
“Thank you Rayna.” The king said.

“Anything for you my king. I was so worried about you and I had to do everything within my power to make sure you’re fine and alive again.” Princess Rayna beamed happily.

“Thank you Rayna, I wouldn’t be able to thank you enough for saving my life.” The king said sincerely.
“You’re welcome, my king.” She smiled.

“I’m hungry. Tell the cook to prepare my favorite meal.” The king sighed tiredly and laid back on the bed.

“Okay my king.” Princess Rayna said and walked elegantly out of the room.
“I’ll just go and come back later when you’ve finally regained yourself fully.” The queen said and smiled at him.

“Okay mother.”
The queen walked out of the room, leaving the king and Roseline.

“My king, I was so worried about you.” Roseline said and sniffled her tears sadly.
“I’m fine now Roseline, you don’t have to worry again.” The king said perfunctorily.

Roseline was almost forced to roll her eyes but she didn’t – she wouldn’t dare roll her eyes at the king except she wants a death wish.

Minutes later, Naya and the princess walked in with Naya holding a tray of food.

“My king.” Naya bowed her head in obeisance and took slow strides towards the king’s bed.
She placed the tray gently on the table beside his bed.

“Can I leave now my king?” She asked with her head bowed.
“Yes.” He said simply while Naya nodded her head and walked out of the room.

Roseline helped the king seat up and brought the small table that the tray of food was closer to herself.

The king took a spoonful and he scrunched his face in disappointment.
He dropped the spoon and glared at the food.

“Call me the cook that served me this food.” He told Roseline sternly.
She nodded her head and quickly went out of the room.

Seconds later, Naya was standing in front of the king and looking frightened. She didn’t know why the king had sent for her but she knew it was not for something good.

What did she do?
She couldn’t help but wonder.

“Who cooked this food the last time I ate it? There’s a big difference between this meal and the other one you served me.” The king groaned, his eyes on the untouched meal.

Naya couldn’t find the appropriate words to use and she felt scared.

She actually didn’t know who made the meal as she had been absent from work the previous day.

“My king…it was one of the maids. I wasn’t able to prepare it the last time and a maid helped me.” She answered, her voice shaking in fright.

“What’s her name?” Caesar asked and Naya was taken by surprise.

“Um… I don’t know, My King. I wasn’t around”.

There was a brief silence.

“When you go back to the kitchen, ask for the maid and learn from her I love the way she made it and want it done the same way from now on. Do you understand?”

Naya’s feet wobbled.

“Y…Yes, My King” she stuttered, turned around and left, feeling so shocked.

Who was the maid?
