Chapter 16 - Chapter 16: Condition

She impassively said, "Yes."

She doesn't know what this is, but She was told, when she will grow up, She has to marry someone.

The servants of the queen took her. After, what happened the atmosphere of the party changed. The party was in the last part, so Seiko decides to stay away. He was wandering near the exit. Rachid came to take Seiko home. He learned from Ali, Ali made Seiko a fool. Rachid thought Seiko would be broken after the shock, so to support him mentally, he went to the mansion.

Rachid sees, Seiko is wandering near the exit, He looks worried. "Hey, Seiko let's go home."

Seiko looked super frightened, he says, "I have messed up. Bring Mr.Farhart here otherwise, I will get executed."

Abdullah ibn Jabir is the current King of Mizan. He only has 3 daughters, Mariam, Latifa, Alia. Seiko proposed Mariam. She is 16. When she was 2, she got isolated from the outside world, that's why She never had a connection with the world. She knows nothing about the world.

After the party ended. In the king's room, Jabir, the king, is sitting and Seiko is standing. They are waiting for Farhat. After a few moments, Farhat and Rachid came to the room where Seiko and King were. Farhat said, "Rachid, please go out."

Jabir, "It's been long, Farhat."

"Yes. So, what did my employee do?"

"Ask him."

Farhat looks at Seiko. Seiko looks very confident. Farhat asked, "What did you do, Seiko?"

Seiko replied, "Will you be my guardian?"

Farhat being confused said, "Yes"

Seiko looks at The king and says, "Your majesty, I want to marry her."

Farhat is astonished. He asks Seiko, "Who do you want to marry?"

"King's elder daughter."

Jabir says to Seiko"Ok, I will give her to you, but what do you have?"

"Nothing."

"Then? How come I, the king of Mizan, will give my daughter to you?"

"Then, Who do you think will marry her and keep her happy? I'm sure, you know that the rest of the world sees her as a curse."

Seiko's confidence and his words put The king in thought. After thinking for a while, he says, "Ok, then I will give you conditions, If you can complete them, I will give my daughter. First, you have to have your own house. Second, You must have money, as much as a Noble has. Last, for mahr, you have to give her lots of gold jewelry. All of these conditions must be completed in 3 years. If you can't complete in the given time, then forget about her."

In a Muslim marriage, the groom has to give a certain amount of wealth to the bride. It can be money, jewelry, home goods, or anything. The amount of wealth is decided by the bride's consent. The groom cannot use that wealth, that wealth is the bride's, She can use it as she wants for that matter, she doesn't need to answer her husband.

"Thank you, your majesty. I have one condition, after marriage, All of her ties with the royal family should be cut off."

Jabir is astonished. He thought, because of power and wealth, Seiko proposed his daughter. But after hearing this, he started to see Seiko, differently.

"Ok."

"See you at court, tomorrow."

"For what?"

"Agreement."

"Don't you believe in my words?"

"Yes, I do but I think you know, I have 1 month left. If you tell the jury about the agreement, he will increase my time."

"Ohh, that. I can't help you with that, that's your problem."

Farhat says "My Majesty, please understand. It will be impossible without your consent. At least, do it in the name of our friendship."

"Just because you are saying, I will do it."

Farhat says "Thank you, we will be grateful."

Seiko says "Before we go, I want to tell you something as a citizen of Mizan. Your subordinates are taking the money of the poor. I suggest from now on you should give the money yourself."

Let's go back in time, Rachid gets out of the room.

"Rachid?"

He looks at the person who called him. It is Fatima. She was an orphan like them. She used to be with them but when she was 7, she was taken to the mansion. In reality, she was the one who asked to make her servant of the mansion.

Rachid says "Sis! How are you?" After seeing her for a long period he almost cried.

"I'm fine. Stop crying, you are making me sad."

They talked for a while. He told everything that happened in the last few months. She asks "What about Faris, how is he?"

"Oh, I forgot to mention he is in the magical academy."

"Wow! When he comes back, tell him to meet me."

Seiko and Farhat got out of the room. "Ok, bye sis."

At Farhat's house, he told everything that happened in that room.

Angrily Ali says "What have you done? How will you do all of that? I should have never told you about the birthday party."

Farhat says, "Ali, getting angry won't work."

Seiko cries and says "I am moved, I never knew you cared about me, Ali, you tsundere."

"What made you think that I care about you and What does 'tsundere' mean?"

Farhat says "Stop it you two. Think about a plan."

"I have 3years. So let's go and sleep. By the way, it is my problem, so you don't need to worry."

Omar comes to their room and says "I want to pee."

Afrin takes him.

Seiko asks, "What is he doing here?"

Farhat says, "When you delivered food to the King. I invited Rachid to stay with us with children because it was very late at night."

"Whatever, I'm going to sleep."

"Seiko, I'm sorry for Jabir, he doesn't talk like this."

"I understand that. No one wants to give their daughter to a rapist."

At the end of the night, Rachid wakes up, He wakes Ali up and says "Do you hear screaming?"

"Ya, it comes from the forest every day."

"Have you tried to check?"

"Man, It's too scary to check."

"I'm going."

"Please don't go, what if that ghost takes you away and kills you."

"Ok, I won't go."

He pretends to be asleep. When he confirmed Ali was sleeping, he went to the forest.
