Charlotte's POV: I slowly walk down the hall to the King and Queen's room. For the past two weeks Lucas has been spending every free minute there with his dad. The King's condition has been declining slowly, but significantly. The news of his illness has been made public and there is a crowd of people outside the palace gates waiting for any kind of news. I get to the large doors and the maid looks up at me as I approach. "He's been in there all day," She says. "I know," I say. "Can I go in?" The maid nods and opens the door and I hear her announce me. I walk in and Lucas looks away from his father's sunken face to glance up at me. "Hello Charlotte," King Marcus says. "Hello sir. How are you feeling today?" I ask.
