《The Crown's Right》Chapter 5- Queens of Artheiaya
Advertisement
While Third Knights Hawkin and Emil, we're busy roaming in the town proper, back in the receiving hall. In contrast, the four commanders busy themselves helping the King as everyone panic around; Lieutenant Commanders Mainfroe and Gilbert immediately commanded the knights on guard to find any available royal physicians that could help.
"You and your group," Gilbert pointed to the left side corner where there are knights near them, "go and immediately find the royal physicians and bring them in here. The King is in danger!" He turns towards Mainfroe, "we needed someone to calm the nobles; you can do it."
"Understood, I'll keep an eye on here. You do find whatever that is a while ago," he pats his shoulder and left.
Gilbert looks around and saw the Lieutenant Commanders under the other commanders. He runs towards them, "we needed to look for whoever did that to the king."
However, Lieutenant Commanders looked at him and ignored him. One of the five Lieutenant Commanders of the first Commander Cheistian, notably Valoir Augustine, eyed him and commanded the others instead of listening to his words. The others then follow Valoir's lead and go to his side.
" Have someone look for Royal Physician Benedict. Lieutenant Commander Stephen, go ahead and control the nobles. No casualty must be included. It would be best if you protected this hall. Every noble are in here, and someone finds whatever happened a while ago!" He commanded everyone.
Hence, the knights go to their mission while Lieutenant Commander Gilbert stands alone. His lips quiver as he closes his eyes and sigh. He must contain himself. He turns around to see the lower nobles not being tended to, so he went to their way.
"Viscount Boutemaize, let me help you." The old Viscount then looks to him before letting out a relieved groan.
"Thank you, Lieutenant Commander Gilbert," he turns around and points to the other nobles with him, "they are also in need. We need to go out now. I don't think_."

But they were interrupted as the giant door of the receiving hall in the castle opens. Here comes in Royal Physician Baltiven, the oldest royal physician yet has the lower rank amongst them all.
He walks towards the King and others, "what happened" he asks them.
Commander Cheistian was about to answer when the Mother Queen retaliates, " why are you here? Where is Royal Physician Benedict?"
Royal Physician Baltiven slowly glances at the Mother Queen, "Queen Victoria," he greets her, but this made the Mother Queen curl her eyebrows together.
"Insolence! I am the Mother Queen of Artheiaya; what right do you possess to call my name?" Her eyes squinted as she glares at the Royal Physician Baltiven, but the latter smirks and hide his thoughts, though it is quite visible to the naked eye as he let out a sarcastic smile.
You could see how heavy the breathing of the Mother Queen Victoria as she glares and heaves while her eyes blacks out from the rage she's feeling.
"You insolent dupe! You dare look at me like that? I will dig your eyes out_".
" Mother Queen!" Commander Cheistian cut her off, "the King still needed to be healed," he reminds her.
Queen Victoria seems to be calmed by this and let Baltiven work. He got the left hand of King Rutherglen and felt his heartbeat on his wrist.
"What happened to him?" He asks Commander Cheistian.
"We don't know, but his head got squeezed by the crown. Looking from it, the crown seemed to have been penetrated his head." He continues.
Royal Physician Baltiven looks confused. "How can a crown suddenly do that? It doesn't have any mind on them, and how can it happen in front of everyone?"
"We don't know; he suddenly got flew away." Commander Justine responds.
"Flew away? By what?" Baltiven continues asking as he surveys the wound. He picks his medicinal sack. This is hard for him. The scars are around Rutherglen's head, a very delicate part of the body. If it was a normal wound, he could remove the shards of whatever pierced their skin, apply some honey to disinfect, and sew their skin, but this? And on the head, he could not just do the usual procedure. He looked at the pool of blood underneath them and thought that with all this blood loss in his body, it'd be a miracle for him to survive. But he cannot allow doing that; this is the King. The most important person in the Kingdom.

"Are we going to do this in here? We should go and_" Queen Victoria suggested, but Baltiven quickly refuted her.
"There is so much blood loss to the King. There will be no enough time to move him; besides, it'll be bad to move him as his head is be also moved." He explains as he brought out a bottle of honey, and with his trembling hands, he pours everything on the head of the King. Honey has some anti-bacterial substance into it; then he carefully removes the little shards of the pieces of crushed crown gems with tiny tweezers that they call as friangias, made up of wood that has a long duration and not easily entered by bacteria called Crytolydersia wood.
On the other hand, Fourth Commander Alexander tiringly walks backward. He just accomplished probably one of the worst swings of the sword he has done. He looks around to see the priest still standing in his original position. He walks towards him. Alexander knows that the priest must have known something, and if he discovers if the priest has something to do with this accident, he will not hesitate to kill him. He continues going to the priest's position when he saw in his peripheral vision the first Queen Adelina also staring with her eyes wide open into an open space. If he is correct, that was where the priest stared at before everything happened. He looks at where they are both looking and stares at it. What is in there? He walks towards it, postponing his way to the priest, and as he comes close, he felt a chilling aura. What is this?
Baltiven, on the other hand, brought out a thin and sharp needle, a beast animal called Gyanmer. It is known for having sharp and strong bones that everyone uses to carve into weapons, needles, or other tools to hold some pieces together. He also brought out a string usually used by physicians for medicine and sew the King's head precisely. He made sure to sew only a thin part of the skin. After an hour, he started bandaging his head. He continually checks Rutherglen's pulse on his wrist and sighs when he finishes with the King alive and no complications at all.
His legs gave up, and he just sat down, and now, he had a tone to look around. He saw the commanders and the royal family gathering around the King, but something caught his eyes. Queen Adelina, Priest Overmiere, and Commander Alexander all looking and just starting at an open space.
"What's happening to them?" He unconsciously asks himself but was heard by everyone.
They all turn around to see the three people.
"What is happening?" Commander Cheistian asks them, but they didn't answer. Only Commander Alexander turns to him and responds, "something is in there, but I can not see it," making the latter also look towards the corner he pointed.
Suddenly, a familiar image crossed his mind: a statue, a sergeant, a God. The familiar frightening presence, then it quickly disappeared. His eyebrows knotted as his heart beats faster than ever when he heard the priest said out loud, "Glyvecarius God?"

At his side: a wandering barbarian who teeters on the edge of savagery, a girl who would have a heart of gold if she didn’t pawn it off to the nearest fence, a wannabe knight who is absolutely overcompensating for something, and the last person in the universe who should be anywhere close to magic.
