บท 97: The moment of truth

"Are you alright?" king Zachary who looked at him shaking and coughing so hard asked worriedly.

Suddenly the man fell on his knees as the blood started to flow out of his mouth.

"Maids…." Everything happened so suddenly that even Zachary was shocked.

He called the maids and asked one of them to call the healer. But little did he know that all his efforts were just futile.

Maids tried to attend him but everything was futile.

In just a matter of minutes, the man coughed out lots of blood that pooled around him.

His body was shivering nonstop and soon the man died in front of the king's eyes.

In his last minutes, he didn't even get to drink two sips of water.

"He is dead…" one of the maids checked him and announced.

King Zachary looked at the man with his eyes wide open.

He was alright just a few minutes ago and just died like that?

He couldn't believe what he saw.
