TAKE A BREATH
Adiscordant chord rang out into the king’s forest outside the city of
Austice in the kingdom of Daxaria, followed by the dulcet tones of a
young woman.
“There once was a cook in our castle,
My father said he was quite a . . . Hassle.
He saved my mother and I,
Then fought a dragon and . . .
Bloody hell, I should juust die.”
Letting out a long breath, the young woman dropped her pale forehead
to her hand and let her other hand fall away from the lute in her lap.
“Gods, why in the world my father thought singing in the woods would
help, I’ll never know. Bunch of moss and ferns aren’t going to make me a
better singer or fix my ruddy lungs,” she muttered while slowly standing.
A loud fly whirred by her ear, making her slap its dark body against her
neck and dirty blond hair.
“Muggy . . . Buggy forest . . . who in the world would—”
A rustle in the trees off in the distance startled her from her mumblings,
making her go still. A surge of fear sent her heart racing.
“I . . . better . . . go . . . back . . . to the castle . . . as quickly . . . as . . . I
can . . .” The young woman felt sweat prickle the back of her neck as she
began walking. Another small rustle sounded behind her, making her
jump.
“WHATTHEHELLARETHEREBEARSINHERE?!” Breaking into a
sprint the young woman barreled through the final line of trees, and
immediately clutched her chest as her gasps rattled her lungs.
“Oh Gods . . . not now.” Sinking to her knees, Alina tried over and over
again to take in a full breath that refused to come. To make matters worse,
the sound of footfalls neared her, making her stress triple. Luckily, despite
her struggles, she managed to rest her lute gently in the grass at her side.
“—Ina! Princess Alina! Are you having one of your attacks?! I’ll send for
the physician! Peter, stay with Her Highness!”
The young royal of Daxaria looked up, with tears streaming from her
eyes as a result of her efforts to draw in any of the heavy air, and found
herself staring up at a servant she hadn’t seen since she was very young . . .
Hannah, was it?
The elder aide by her side was a tall, lean fellow, with a kind, caring
expression, his cheeks dashed with scars that were clearly from having pox
in his youth. His hair was gray, but there were touches of brown in places
that showed his original hair color.
“Princess! Hannah has gone for help; shall I carry you to the kitchen for
a drink of water?”
Alina was unable to communicate past nodding her head as the ache in
her chest grew worse, and she struggled once more to regain her breath.
Though was it perhaps now starting to come back just a little?
It felt like an hour, but perhaps was less than one before the new Royal
Court Physician, Harold Mudge, arrived in the kitchen.
