Chereads / The Princess Of The Heroes / Chapter 16 - Part 16

Chapter 16 - Part 16

The Queen's soldiers are standing in a horizontal row in the yard of the castle. Masha is walking in front of them, screaming while Ralph and Frank are following her, trying to change her mind:

The Queen: Soldiers! Listen to me! The princess is in danger! And we must rescue her!

Frank: Please! Your majesty! We have a plan and we'll rescue Mina I mean her highness once she orders us!

Ralph: We promise you that we'll rescue her and actually we're working on that!

The Queen: I'm sure it's both of you who suggested avenging to Cyrone!

Frank: Quoi?! Mais ça va pas la tête! Moi! Frank Dubois! Je propose à la princesse d'aller à l'espace?! Mais ça va pas la tête! Pas du tout!

Ralph: Calm down and don't speak French because you know I don't speak it and I hate it!

The Queen: What are you saying, French guy?

Dubois is close to curse the Queen and swear at her the most horrible bad words you can imagine because he believes that his "ego" doesn't allow anybody to insult him or to accuse him something he didn't do. But Hamilton catches him and stops him and this means saving his life from execution. Then the latter says:

Ralph: All what Frank said is that you're wrong, your majesty, we didn't suggest avenging to Cyrone; she wanted and decided that. Even without any permission from us. And in fact, we tried to stop her!

The Queen: That's true... Mina dreamed all her life to know the murderer of her father, Jack and William and to kill him... But I don't trust you!

Again, the French guy almost curses her and this time beats her if Ralph didn't stop him, and he asks:

Ralph: Why don't you trust us, your majesty? Didn't we kill the head of the revolution gang who always runs away and we brought his dead body to the throne room? Why don't you trust us?

The Queen: Mina was all the time with you. Now, she's not here, cause of you!

Frank: Tell me for the Goodness what's the wrong with us?! Without us, Mina won't be now in...

The Queen: The space!

Ralph: Your majesty, you must know that if you send your soldiers out of the Earth, they'll die! And it makes our figure worse than now in aliens' minds and eyes!

Frank: Ralph is right. Also, the plan that Mina I mean her highness drew is perfect!

The Queen: Why do all my soldiers die while you don't? Why is my daughter's plan good while mine is bad? Why when your travel outside the planet won't make our figure worse than now while if we travel now, it does?

Ralph: I don't mean it but...

The Queen: If you trust my daughter's plan, show it to me!

Frank: What?!

Ralph: Wha...? What...? O...? What's the wrong...? O...? I can't show you the plan!

The Queen: Why?

Ralph: Simply I can't!

The Queen: And why simply you can't?

Frank: The princess won't allow this.

The Queen: Who said that she'll know that I knew her plan? Except if you'll tell her. Then, that means you disobeyed me and my orders and so you'll go to jail!

Frank: (turning around, raising his arms and screaming) Mais c'est quoi ça?! Vous avez sûrement perdu votre cœur et votre cerveau! Vous dites de n'importe quoi! Vous êtes sûrement cruelle et idiote ! C'est ça la stupidité ! Vous êtes tous la stupidité et la cruauté ! Qu'est ce que c'est ça ?!

Ralph: Please don't take his reactions into consideration; he's sick in the head, your majesty...

The Queen: It's ok, just because I don't understand what he's saying, let him say whatever he wants. Now, we have to take care of our business. And I'll send the soldiers!

Frank: Please your majesty, if the soldiers pass the atmosphere and get in the space, we'll be endangered! Like the rhinoceros! Cyrone can notice every little move in the space, and if he knew that's us, we'll die!

The Queen: Doesn't Cyrone know that Mina's in the space?

Ralph: No; she's now one of prisoners of the Universal Jail.

The Queen: Didn't you say that she's in Cyrone's spaceship?

Frank: That was true few hours ago. Now, she's in the Universal Jail.

The Queen: All of us know that Cyrone and his guards are millions of miles far away from our planet and though that they turn around us 24 hours a day! So, did you forget that he'll track you since you get out of the planet too?

Ralph: Don't worry; the garrulous genius black old man Philip Aquana and his men will find a solution for that. In fact they did it in one of missions and it succeeded.

The Queen: So, I'll send both of you.

Ralph: What?!

The Queen: Didn't you say that you performed a mission like this one? So go both of you and the team! If you're really afraid for the soldiers!

Frank: I'll die before I become famous!

Ralph: Not cause of that, pompous! For the God what's the wrong with you? You're afraid for your daughter as this much?! We're not ready now in this moment to travel and even than Mina!

The Queen: She's my daughter and surely I'm afraid for her. And rescuing her of course is a national and universal duty!

Suddenly, Hamilton explodes angrily and screams while he's turning around like Frank did:

Ralph: You have to know that I'm her alterative father, ok? And I have the same feelings you have toward her and more! The same love, the same fear, the same hatred sometimes! I'm afraid also for her but not as you! Because she decided that! And I don't blame her because it's a personal and private decision! And we do not have the right to interfere in people's private decisions! Except if they asked our help! She's happy with her decision and she knows its dangers so let her face all these dangers alone! Avenging to someone hurt us before is not a mistake! Even if it's so dangerous to avenge to! Damn! The manliness of the person matters the ability and the boldness to avenge! And Mina herself is a brave and wise woman! Because she'll avenge after she crafted a perfect plan and because she decided to avenge! And I'm very proud of her! Even she died there, I'll be proud of her in the rest of my life! Before she left the Earth, I thought her crazy and sick in the head like you think now, but then I realized that she's right and I'll do the same if I was in her place! Aren't you proud of her?! Even though all the sacrifices she did for you! Don't you know that she's the only princess in the planet and even in the universe who fights and works as a leader of a team of mercenaries?! She's even manlier than many princes! Don't you see that for God?! She's always telling me that she tries all the time to make you proud of her but you don't care! Do you know how the hell you want to see your daughter?! You want to see her wearing dresses, drinking a cup of tea elegantly and speaking with others fluently and wisely! You also want to keep her safe! But Mina wasn't born to be a princess; she was born to be a fighter! That's why our team's name is the Fighters! Because we fight! In clean missions! To get money, to save people and to enjoy our time! Even than Mina was born in a world full of dresses and cups of tea and manners of tables, she refused all of that, to fight! Because she loves fighting, because she loves killing bad crazy rich people who damage the world, and saving the planet and one day the whole galaxy! Now, she's in the Universal Jail, disguised as a Nitanian! So, she's safe!! Damn it! Why don't you make things easy?! Your daughter is not young anymore! And she has to be responsible for her acts! Like all the adults!!

The queen keps silent and quiet like a statue, shocked by Hamilton's reaction, while the French Dubois screams happily:

Frank: This is my old man friend! Ha ha! Cool! Don't dare one day to get my friend Ralph on nerves, never! Ha ha! High five man!

Ralph gets his high five from Frank though he's still angry. Then, he finishes his speech before he leaves the courtyard:

Ralph: I was serious, your majesty. And I hope you think well about what I said, and to not hang me as I didn't respect you. Because all what I was saying is right. I experienced a lot of things with my son when he was alive, so I know more than you about kids. You have to know that the lives of soldiers are in danger if you send them, and also the future of Earth...
