The exact opposite happens.

 He was scolding me, saying that they were the masters of the country. That is why he has to improve the relationship with them to support him in matters of governance, when he becomes king.

I didn't understand any of this, and I thought he liked messing with them. And when I'm about to cry at his scolding, he stops it, and tells me beautiful words with that smile that makes me forget everything, and throw myself into his arms. And don't ask me what he was telling me. I will never tell you."

The prince laughed and said:

"Looks like you've fallen into his net."

'Uh, you may not believe it... but... your father was terribly good at dealing with women, he was in a few words. He would make them, do to him, anything, and don't get me wrong. I'm talking about the country. He was your father' An honest and respectful man."

"I know that, Your Majesty." The queen frowned at those words, but the prince corrected his words and said:

"I know that, mom."

The Queen slapped her hands together. sourced so. Her voice sounded like a light slap and she said happily and with a mischievous smile:

“Do you know what I was calling him?”

"Women's Hunter". Thus said the prince, laughing and continuing to say:

 "You've told me about it so many times."

The queen licked her lips.

"Really, I don't remember."

"That's why you have to get married, even if you don't like it. You shouldn't be alone."

He turned his eyes away from his mother and continued saying:

"At least, for the sake of the kingdom of irem . There must be a crown prince."

The queen's face was torn with grief and her eyes brimming with tears, and she said in a voice wracked with pain:

"You are the crown prince. Soon you will be king and you will restore the kingdom to its former glory. I will watch your children play everywhere."

In a trembling voice, the prince said:

"This is impossible. I will die soon." those words. It shattered its foundations, its castles, its fortresses, shattered what was left of the queen's soul, and plunged her into the depths of despair.

The queen burst into tears and started crying and wailing:

- " No! You will live. You will live a very long time!!".

And she embraced her son and murmured his chest with her tears. Then the prince cried out with a very frightened face: 

- "Don't touch me!! It might be contagious!!"

 

-"I don't care!!!. If you die, I will die with you. I don't want this life anymore!!!. Yes, we will meet your father.. and live in peace and happiness. In that beautiful eternal life!!!".   

"Get away from me, Mama!"

The prince cried, trying to move, but in vain. His arms and legs were as dry as stone.

Then the people from the past entered, and grabbed the queen to snatch her from the prince. Tears were falling from their eyes as they heard everything. However, the Queen floundered and writhed in their hands.

-"No!!!..leave me!!!.I want to die with my son!!!.let me!!..will you leave me too!..your father and then your sister.and now you!!!.you will leave me in this savage world alone.No. I want to go with you!!!".

The old man cast a spell on her, and the queen fell asleep in his arms.

" We'll take her to her room, my prince."

said the old man. 

The prince said without emotion:

"Please do your best to take care of her, she is our queen, and the last of the royal line of irem . If she falls, the kingdom is finished forever." 

 "This is certainly what I will do. Do not worry, my dear prince." And they came out carrying the queen, tears falling from their eyes.

And when they came out of the room. The prince burst into tears. He will die soon, leaving his beloved mother to suffer for everything, and at that moment he remembers his father's will.

 His father was on his deathbed, and stared at him with sharp, soul-piercing looks and said to him his last words : 

-" I leave your mother and the kingdom in your hands, take care of them. Be a great king like irem!"

His crying rose. His body started to shiver. He will die without fulfilling his promise to his father. The prince's face was filled with copious tears, and he bit his lips to rip them, and threads of blood flowed down his chin to his chest, and passed his black neck.

 The shadow stared at him with his red eyes, and it quickly faded across the wall.

 

- 3 - :Twenty-five days later

 

 

Queen Dunya succumbed to her death on her own chair.

In front of her was a large rectangular table, surrounded by many followers. Ministers. Elders. the remaining leaders of its armies. Palace witches. Knights. Soldiers. Servants. They all looked at her in pain.

The queen became completely different from her usual form, as her eyes became protruding, and they were surrounded by intense blackness. Her cheekbones protruding like daggers, her silver hair turned white with white streaks, and her skin as dry as tree bark.

 

The Queen was on the verge of death from horrors and news, but the palace healer made her regain some of her strength.

And their queen stared at them with empty eyes. 

She blamed herself for what they had become, and they blamed themselves for what she had become. And they remained silent.

The Queen moved her eyes to the large map above the table. It was seen above the map. Small black stones, and those stones were placed on every city in the kingdom.

Those stones meant that the city had fallen into the hands of the enemies.

Queen Dunya did not care about that, and looked at their tails, thinking whether to cut their tails or not. That didn't make any sense, however. She couldn't help but think of this thing Without reason.

At that moment, Mikur thrust his sword into the table and shouted:

"The blame is on me. If I were good, we wouldn't be where we are now."

 She raised her eyes to him and said in a voice lacking energy: 

-"We all know who Commander Mikur is . You are our most powerful commander, and you have never lost a battle, even that Russo could not defeat you. So don't make yourself a scapegoat."

Mikur replied :

-"I've never lost a battle, but war is different. It needs deception and planning... and I'm not good at that."

"You seem to have said the answer yourself . When my husband was alive, you didn't lose. Now we're losing because of me."

Mikur hit his hand on the table so hard that it cracked. He said angrily:

"I never meant that! The blame is on me for everything, Your Majesty!"

'Do you want to hit me , Mikur? '

-" Majesty?!". Mikur shouted , staring at his queen with wide eyes. As if he couldn't believe what he heard.

'Don't you all look at me like that, isn't that the natural thing to do?' Indeed, Mikur . You must break my neck to bring disgrace to the kingdom of irem , for I have been a miserable queen who has cast her people into the abyss, and I desire you to do so, dear friend of my husband and my loyal knight. ." The Queen smiled and accepted her fate.

But this request was nothing to be proud of. Mikur's face distorted with anger, his veins bulging out as he said:

-"Are you asking the person, who swore to change his life for the king, to kill his queen with his own hands?!"

The Queen gave him affection. She knew he loved her, not for his queen but for a man's love for a woman, but he never told her that, and she hated it. She could not say or do like other women. She was a queen and she should act like one.

But. As a woman she wanted to feel wanted. She wanted him to tell her that he loved her. She wanted to pull her from her arms and sweep her into his arms.

Perhaps he would whisper obscene words in her ear, which was unforgivable, and would make her angry. You will slap him several times until you bleed him. However, you will be happy. in its depths. who did it.

It will make her angry like a woman angered by a man. He treated her like a woman A man deals with a woman of flesh and blood, not a venerable queen...a queen of stone. She wanted a man to lean on. A man shedding tears in his warm embrace, and complaining to him of burdens and worries, which crush her soul. 

The sad thing for her is that no one treated her like a woman. No one even flirted with her beauty.

 She loved her husband. But. Her husband died long ago. Doesn't she deserve to have some happiness in her miserable, damned life, before she disappears from this world?

She wanted to tell all this to her little prince, but the prince asked her to marry for the sake of the country.

The Queen has felt, in that Prince. He knows exactly what's burning in her chest, that's why. Perhaps he asked her to marry for the sake of the country. As long as her young son could read some of her thoughts. The Queen sighed, feeling overwhelmed by these thoughts, which didn't matter anymore.

She said:

"Then. Do you want your dear queen to be a slave to be tampered with by her masters? You know what happens to slaves."

Mikur closed his eyes, imagining his queen being dragged by chains, lashed undressed. He could not stand those thoughts. The queen shivered when she saw tears welling up in Mikur 's eyes as he said:

"It won't happen while I'm alive!" He grabbed his sword from the table and continued:

"This is too late, but there is a traitor among us!!"

The swords clinked as everyone rose with their swords raised.

Mikur looked like a man of thirty years old, with black hair reaching just below his shoulders, dark brown eyes, tall, muscular and wheatish-skinned, with a yellow tiger's tail, and clad in rusty iron armour. He wasn't quite as pretty as the Queen, but he was generally handsome. 

Everyone adores him for his strength, his humility, and his honour, like a sword. No one dared to mock his iron armor.

 He was a seasoned fighter. If he spoke, everyone was silent.

His famous word was

] Armors are made for fighting, not for a dance party [

The queen said , placing her hands on the table.

"It doesn't matter anymore..."

The counselor who was sitting next to her said:

"How do you say that, Your Majesty. It's not..." The Queen County said:

" I'm fed up with everything. I don't care about anything anymore." 

 

 The old palace healer said:

-"I know him..he's standing with us now!". Silence prevailed in the place. The old palace healer continued:

"Either he is clever, or he is just an idiot...but I see something familiar with my old eyes."

 

The eyes of the old palace wizard, glowing with rainbow colors, was due to his use of a high-powered magic spell, allowing him to see illusions, reveal invisibility magic, and many more. That spell was...

-]"Magic eye..[ what a cunning old man!" The owner of those words got up, smiled a foul smile, and raised his sword. And in a fleeting moment, he jumped over the table, targeting the Queen. 

 The man disappeared in the blink of an eye, and one of the walls exploded. Chandeliers shook from the explosion. They all stared and found the man glued to the wall. Nobody understood anything, but the old wizard's words answered everything

.

" Helmy. What a senile old man.. Did you think that I would make you hurt the queen?
