His Witch Queen-Chapter 165: Death

Both Alice and Cyrus shouted at the same time. They observed how Dominic’s head shifted to the other side, and it laid all lifeless. It was evident that the soul had been detached from his body now.

However, at the same time, King Vilas appar along with the priest and keeper at the back. They all heard the loud shriek of the Princess as well as her husband. Observing and surveying inside, the priest instantly ran to make his way towards the bed.

He managed to sit there and trie to feel the nerves in the Dominic’s body. The hands were colder and the neck was all loose till now. Their eyes were making them even more scared to death about the news. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

And as King Vilas was getting restless, he saw the horrific look plastered on Alice’s face. It grew his anxiety and made him face the priest.

"Tell me,what has happened?Why is Alice...so quiet? Tell me, please.’ In response to King’s urgency to know, the priest didn’t respond with words.

His actions were all enough to hold right now. The priest did what was needed when he took the white sheet and pulled the blanket over the face of the Young Prince.

"No..No...what is done with this!?" King Vilas asked, where his body went numb. His eyes bulged all together and there was an escape of breath in between. "Do anything to wake him up! I’m Sure..he.."

"I’m sorry, King VILAS but Prince Dominic..." Priest had no need to complete the words. The family already knew the outcomes which were in front of their eyes like sharp reality that had slapped them across their faces right now.

Their hearts jolted and King Vilas took the support of the nearby wall to not let his knees feel weak right now. ’No..No..he can’t leave me like this..he can’t do this to me..Dominic..no.." He was ghosted all night.

Similarly, Alice’s hand was still tugging hard on Dominic. Even Dominic hadn’t left her hand till his last breaths after death. The night in the sky was getting deeper the end hadstrted to bustle out more vigorously outside.

The curtains flying with the sobs of King Vilas can’t be controlled.

But at the same point, Cyrus’s eye shifted to gaze back at his wife, who sat there emotionless. She wasn’t moving and it ruptured Cyrus’s heart, "A-Alice..."

No response.

It gave him another shot to learn. Slowly, Cyrus walked beside Alice, when he held both the shoulders from behind to make her get up, "Alice...are you listening to me?"

"Alice?" Cyrus’s repetitive voice didn’t pull her out from the daze into which she underwent.

Her shock was higher than any possible gains. Numb And sitting like a statue and having no idea about the whereabouts of her own current world.

As her hand integrated with Dominic, the tears didn’t even reach upto in the eyes.

But the most unexpected thing was to find that Alice had suddenly fainted in Cyrus’ arms, which caused everyone’s heart to feel turmoil once again, "ALICE!"

....

The next morning.

Alice was wearing her black cloth and held the shawls around her body. The clouds in the sky were all high. ’Looks like the entire sky has known that the Young Prince has died..’ shouldn’t help but feel the change in the atmosphere

Since the morning, the preparations for the rituals have been going on. So has she been standing and walking here without talking with anyone. There was deep silence in the entire palace, despite the work and the preparation.

No one had the heart to say right now, so was the case with her. At the same moment, a general came to stand beside her. "I know that you aren’t ready to face this, but Princess..this is urgent."

"Speak." Alice told him with her coldest voice. Even he felt goosebumps on his skin. it was due to the first time seeing Princess Alice being so distant to him ever. It is never that she was so weak to them.

General Shane cleared his throat, "King Vilas isn’t in any condition to actually pass an order. So..it’s you. Do we have to travel the news that Prince.is.. no more?" General Shane himself felt the soreness while speaking the reality.

In response to the same, Alice’s brown lifted. She moved her head to her left, "The news hasn’t been made public till yet?"

"Not yet, princess."

"Just do it. The general Public should also know that their prince has died due to some illness.. It is a day..it will be..they will also moun for him then." Alice passed the order on behalf of her father and general Shane appreciated it because except her, right now, there was none able to give them the direction

General Shane was ready to step ahead and go away, but before that, he stopped in his tracks, "Alice..." he called her name to give her attention.

A complicated lock had plastered on his face, with the furrowed brows, "Keep yourself strong for the sake of all of us. It is a big loss."

Alice’s serious turned look came across to see the sentiments fluttering in General Shane’s eyes. But, she didn’t comment. All she has to do is to pass him a slight nod and then hit her head straight.

However, things didn’t end here. Alice was walking in the castle. She was roaming like a free spirit, in the hope to forget about last night’s event.

However when she was passing through the other side of the castle, her eyes fell on the periodic lady who’s stopped by the soldiers. "But let me go!!"

"Who is she?" Alice’s voice pulled the attention of the soldiers to look in her direction, to which they bowed before answering, "She is someone local. She is insisting on meeting Prince Dominic..."

Alice’s eyes traced to look at the girl. She was beautiful. Innocence was slashing through her face and the sapphire eyes were all round. "Sapphire eyes?" Alice mumbled under her breath.

Her lips parted where her frown relaxed a bit on her forehead. She walked in their direction, without tearing her gaze from the lady, "Who do you want to meet with?"

The young lady was brokered, but she maintained a soft smile before giving her answer with the same level of respect, "Princess..I am here to meet Dominic..is he available? You can call him! I just need to have a few talks with him. It is is ugent!"

"Are you Lucy?"
