Chapter 11: A kingdom without a queen

Scar was having doubts about his choice of staying and sending Harry

instead. But he had to be strong and have faith in his friends and in the choice he had made. He was hoping he wouldn’t live to regret it. People

started to ask questions, wondering why the queen hadn’t returned

yet. He told them that she was still with her parents who needed her but he wasn’t sure if they still believed him. What was he supposed to tell them? That he had no idea where she was or who took her? That would show weakness and he couldn’t afford to be weak. If the other kingdoms perceived him as being weak, they might attack. He didn’t want that. So he had to be strong and focused. For the good of the kingdom, for the safety of his people.

-Hey, Olekson, any news from your scouts? Is everything quiet at our borders or are there any threats I should know about? Asked Scar thinking elsewhere.

- Everything is quiet from the Southern border. Nothing wrong at the West borders either. I haven’t received the report from the Northern border and as for the East, I don’t think anyone is going to attack us from the sea. All seems to be quiet for the time being.

-Ok, thank you Olek. You are excused. And then Scar went back to the loneliness of his room thinking how different things could have been if only Miiah was there with him. He missed her so much and he couldn’t do anything else but wait for the news of their return. He just hoped it wouldn’t be much longer and he hoped she was unharmed. If anything happened to her he wouldn’t be able to live anymore either. Not now after he had met his true love. He would pray for her every night before going to sleep, God will surely hear his prayers and keep her safe even in her captivity.
