Yasmyn's POV
"Mom it's me," I whispered but her hand still has the dagger. And the dagger is still pointed at me.
"I know who you are and I want you to get out before I kill you," she said with her eyes turning red slowly.
Her hands were trembling more with each passing second. My father was sleeping peacefully by her side. Still the least bit of idea on what is actually happening here in the room.
It's been a long time since I spoke to him. My heart is yearning for him but the situations are different here. I don't know what to do.
I wish Brendan was here.
The door behind me was opened and it was Selena who walked in.
My mother visibly relaxed when she saw Selena and dropped the dagger. Selena grabbed the dagger and put it over the night stand before hugging our mom and staring at me in confusion.
"What has happened?" She asked me in a whisper.
I would tell her if I knew something!!
"It's okay. No one is here. You just have to rest, mumma" Selena said as if she was talking to a baby.
Our mom nodded at Selena before she laid on the bed again and closed her eyes. I watched as Selena sang a song in my mom's ears and she slept in a few minutes.
Once Selena was sure that both my parents were asleep, she grabbed my hand and pulled me out of the room.
"What the heck were you thinking?" She asked me but I am still stuck at the moment my own mother thought I was here to kill her.
I am her daughter! And I wasn't away for a really long time either. What on earth did happen here while I was away? It all seems like I stepped into a different world where I know nothing and there is power play in all corners.
I hope Brendan finds Silas for me. I realised that he is the only one I will have to trust from now on. Not even Adi, considering how bad he is with his health at the moment.
"What the heck is happening here, Selena?" I asked her and she groaned, leaning her back against the railing at the corridor.
"I don't know. I have no idea. Things were great one day. And within a span of two weeks everything changed. Our parents fell ill. Adi started losing his abilities. And many more. It was as if someone put a curse on the Royal Family," Selena whispered with a frown on her face.
It does look like someone placed a curse on us. Because what the honest f**k is this?!
"Why did mom think I was a killer?" I asked my sister as she walked towards her room.
"Because she doesn't remember anyone anymore. Sometimes she does. Sometimes she doesn't. The last time she saw Vernon she thought he was there to help her get dressed for the day," She said again.
But something said it was different for me. The anger I saw in her eyes was diff from what I have experienced. She didn't mistake me for anyone. She knows who I was. And yet, she said what she said.
Why?
"Don't think too much. Get some rest. You have a long day ahead if you plan on revealing to everyone that the coronation is postponed," Selena said and I nodded.
I don't have the habit of resting for a while after breakfast like the rest of the Royals have. So maybe I am going to use this time to do something productive.
Like going through all the records while I was away to see if something happened in a strange manner.
And maybe, ask Brendan for more help.
I don't like doing this but at the moment, I don't have anyone else other than him.
