Chapter 444 Cocooned Her Mate

When Eltanin walked out of the bedchamber, he made sure that over twenty Draka soldiers were guarding the corridor that led to her chamber. There was complete mayhem. He had to find Rigel and Lerna, Fafnir and Tabit who had insisted on coming with him. But first he had to find Biham and Kinshra. He wasn't even sure if Biham had survived.

Eltanin was hurrying down a corridor when he chanced upon General Balfour. "Where is the king?" he asked, halting the General. "How is he?"

Balfour looked panicky. "Come with me," he said in a shaky voice. "I will brief you on the way." He resumed his way to the bedchamber where Biham and Kinshra were.

When he didn't speak, Eltanin goaded him. "Tell me about him!" He was hoping against hope that Biham was alive.

"He is no more..." Balfour said as a shudder passed through his body. "Lady Kinshra has gone into deep depression. She isn't leaving his side. Flora is there looking after them, but she is saying that Lady Kinshra will probably not even be able to make a week. She has gotten into a trauma."

Eltanin paled. He stabbed his fingers in his hair as he hurried to their room. He now contemplated what effect it would have on Tania's health condition. And he wondered if he should tell her about Kinshra. "Where are King Rigel and Queen Lerna?"

"They are in the adjacent bedchamber. Queen Lerna is waiting for Queen Lusitania to tell the news about her brother!"

Eltanin's eyes filled with tears. It was hard to see her like this. She was so wise and poised that seeing her in a miserable condition like this wasn't a nice sight. "Can I go to her?" he asked.

Flora shook her head. "She has created a magic seal all around her and him. No one can break the seal except the king of Vilinski, King Ian. And that too will have consequences. But you can talk to her." Flora wiped a tear with her finger. "But she is not responsive."

Eltanin took a deep breath in. Seeing her condition, he was sure that she wouldn't be able to take over the reins of the kingdom. Now he was doubly worried. He wished his parents were there with him to take care of Tania's parents while he was able to look after Pegasii. Nonetheless, he opened his mind link and sent a message to Fafnir. "Contact my mother and father and call them to Pegasii from Stourin."

"Yes, Your Highness," Fafnir replied back immediately. "Tabit is right here with me. Should I send her to the queen?"

Eltanin was aware that Tania was a good friend of Tabit and Lerna. Perhaps the three are going to be a better company together. "Yes, that would be wonderful. Also ask Queen Lerna if she would like to be with Tania. And see if King Rigel can join me."

"I will!"

Eltanin's mind was running wildly as to what he should do with a kingdom like Pegasii. Just like what Balfour said, the kingdom needed a ruler. Lusitania?

Lord Krail entered the room. "Eltanin!"

Eltanin turned around to face him. "Lord Krail."

"There is something very urgent I wanted to discuss with you," he said, glancing at his daughter.
