👑MARRIED TO THE PRINCE👑👻
Episode 29
Written Adelaide Clara Asamoah.
The news came crushing on them like a bomb. Prince Majid was speechless and turns his face to look at Rishi. His deep brown eyes pierced into hers and she had tears falling from them. She was most astonished than any of the people in the room but she remembered some weeks ago,when she unfortunately wished for this. Her mother was surprised that she was quiet. Majid kept starring at Rishi.
Cindy was frowning terribly and shaking her head. Majid looked at her,standing besides him and looked back at Rishi. He was damn angry. He hated her so much. So she used her saving skills to save him,just so she could cunningly deceive his family to make them get married to him. But he as going to end this nonsense at that moment.
'' This is enough! ''. Majid yelled. '' I have had enough of all this,I haven't been saying anything but this has gone to the limit ''.
'' What are you talking about Majid...this is tradition ''.
'' What sick tradition is this? I can't take this shit anymore. My friends and I ate leaving this kingdom. We are going back to London, right now! ''.
(Majid and his people were about walking out and the Queen mother frowned. People were now about to see her hidden behavior. And she needed to do this to her beloved grandson on order to save the whole of Ujani. Her eyes were red with fury by Majid's reaction and just as Majid was about walking out the door,Queen mother took a step).
'' Guards!!! ''. Queen mother shouted.
(The guards quickly rushed in front of Majid and his friends at the door. Majid frowned, he turned his back and looked at his family with an angry look. The door was wide opened. Queen mother walked slowly closer ti him with a threatening look).
'' Where do you think you ate going? ''.
'' Away from all of you. Now,ask your guards to get out of my way grandmother ''. Majid said,pointing at the door.
'' How dare you disobey your grandmother Majid?! ''. Queen mother asked angrily.
'' Mother please ''. Queen Sheena tried to sooth things down but Queen mother raised her hand angrily and stopped her.
'' Majid...you are not going anywhere! ''.
'' What the fuck....
'' Shut up you foreigner! ''. Queen mother shut Cindy up and she panicked. Queen Dorah and Prince Faruk were not able to hide their devilish smile.
'' Don't talk to her that way grandmother! ''.
(Queen mother loosed her temper and raised her hand to the air,landing it on Majid's left cheek. The king was with his eyes,widely opened, apart from that,everyone else covered their mouths with their hands in total shock. Majid's face had fallen,he wasn't expecting that slap).
'' You are going to marry Rishi...whether you like it or not Majid,I swear to you! I am tired of staying calm with you...I said you will marry her! ''.
'' And who will make me?! ''. Majid shouted back.
'' I will! Guards,hold them! ''.
(Queen mother ordered and seven guards caught hold of Cindy,Natalya, Maxwell and Jimmy. Majid was thrown into confusion as he had no idea what was going on. Cindy and Natalya tried resisting in anger).
'' Majid..do something, let this smelly goons,get their claws off me! ''. Cindy uttered.
'' Majid,it is tour choice now. I know you brought your friends here to see where you came from and take them on a tour on your culture. But things had changed now. It is up to you...either get married to Rishi,or see your foreign friends thrown into the dungeon for life ''.
'' What?! Father,say something! ''.
'' I am his mother and he has nothing to say about this! ''.
'' This is against the fucking law Majid,what bullshit is this? ''. Maxwell snorted angrily.
'' Oh well foreigner... this is my kingdom and I do what I want! I am the law here and I give the order..do you get that?! ''.
'' I am going to call my father...and all of you will regret this! ''. Cindy threatened.
'' Oh look over here...the little butterfly is showing her true colours... Is this the woman wanted to marry Majid? ''.
'' She is this way because of you. You don't have any rights to control me this way! I will forever regret for coming here...I regret it! ''. Majid said and angrily stormed off towards his chamber without looking back.
Even though he heard the cried of his friends,he didn't look back at all. The king was surprised at his mother's behavior and was angry that she didn't mind to involve him in all that. Queen Dorah remembered she had not put the pot in Queen Meerah's chamber and quickly stormed off followed by Prince Faruk. The king was surprised and he turned to look at all the women, especially his mother. He shook his head and walked away as well.
Queen Sheena calmed herself down with her hand touching her chest. She turned to Rishi and Bhavna then smiled, Rishi was shaking.
She didn't bargain for this,she was scared out of her body. She looked down and tears fell out her eyes. She guessed she was not about to go out of the palace any time soon. Her mother had held her tightly and praying silently. A guard arrived at the scene with seven self phones in his hands and bowed to the Queen.
'' Your highness, I got what you asked for ''.
(Cindy and the others couldn't believe their eyes).
'' What the fuck is this? ''. Natalya asked rudely.
'' What on earth are you doing with our phones? ''. Cindy also yelled.
'' Well foreigner.. you threatened by saying that,you were going to call your father and we were going to regret this...so then I imagined that...you were going to get in touch with your father through this things. Your phones are going to be in my chamber while you spend some great vacation in the dungeon. Until Majid agrees to marry Rishi, then it will be given back to you ''.
'' Have you all gone crazy or what? What if Majid takes years before agreeing to this absurd pressure you have put on him? ''.
'' If he takes years, then you will also spend years in the lion's den ''. The Queen mother said,straight forward. '' Take them away!!! ''.
'' You won't get away with this you crazy girl! You even have the audacity to wear the sweatshirt I gave to Majid on his birthday... You are nothing to him and you will never be!!! I will never share my man with any woman...got that,bitch? Majid will never accept to marry you,he doesn't even know you exist and you are not our class you poor loser! ''. Cindy kept on shouting insults while seven strong guard pulled her and the others away like dogs....
.....
'' Take those phones to my chamber ''.
(The guard bowed down and took the phones away towards Queen mother's chamber. She and Queen Sheena turned to Bhavna and Rishi).
'' This is not the life I want for my daughter Queens. Please,let us leave. We are poor,but we are living in peace... That is the most priceless gift in the world ''.
'' Bhavna... how can you be so blind? ''. Queen Sheena asked.
'' Me,blind? ''.
'' Yes. You are being blind. Because you refuse to see destiny working. Have you studied your poor daughter? Look Rishi ''. Queen mother said and got closer to Rishi who was shaking like a Christmas chicken and Queen mother gently made her sit on one of the beds then sat besides her. Queen mother caressed her hair and Rishi couldn't look at her face. '' No one has to tell you that,she is a Queen. She was born a Queen. Have you even realised the clothes she's wearing right now? ''....
.....
(They all turned to look at the sweatshirt she was wearing, and she herself looked down on her and saw the cloth).
'' Do you know whose clothe is that? I don't know how Rishi got to wear that shirt,but it belongs to Prince Majid ''.
'' Oh my goodness, oh my goodness... Am so sorry. I'm so stupid! ''. Rishi said,trying to remove the shirt in anguish.
'' Hahaha... don't do that Rishi. You don't want to get naked in front of the Queens do you? ''. Queen mother laughed. '' We will dress you up. And then you can remove the shirt...maids! ''.
'' I can't do this your highness... Please let me go ''....
.....
'' Yes you can Rishi. You can do this..it is your destiny. You don't know the truth yet but....
'' What truth? ''. She asked,confused.
'' I shall talk to you later. Okay? Maids...call some maids Sheena ''.
(Four maids immediately entered the checkup room and bowed to the Queens).
'' All you four should make the necessary arrangements to usher Rishi here,into new royal clothes. She is the soon to be first wife of the crowned Prince of Ujani. She is now part of the royal family, even though she is not officially welcomed, treat her with respect and make sure that,she gets all she wants...is that clear? ''.
'' Yes your highness ''. They all responded.
'' Now,just like you were all taught at the royal school of maidens... go and transform her completely... make me surprise when I see her again..make her up in the readiness if a Queen, feed her...then bring her back to me. Is that clear? ''.
'' Yes tour highness ''.
(Rishi looked at her mother for the last time in a grumpy look and the maidens took her away)....
.....
'' Don't worry Bhavna... Leave Rishi in our care. She is safe here we swear.. Because we are going to protect her with our lives. We promise you that ''.
'' She is my only child ''. Bhavna sobbed.
'' We know. But you can also stay here with her if you want Bhavna ''.
'' No. I am a married woman. Besides, deep in my heart...I knew a day like this would come. But I didn't expect it to be this soon. She is just 20. But anyway... I guess I can go now ''.
'' You are free now Bhavna. Tomorrow is an introduction day. I mean,I hope you already know our tradition... once we find the first wife to be for the crowned Prince. We announce it for the whole kingdom to see her. So there will be a festival here tomorrow morning. Everyone is invited, especially you and tour husband. I will send the announcer to give the news to everyone in the kingdom as soon as possible ''.
'' Okay ''. Bhavna said silently.
'' But Bhavna... Wouldn't you like yo stay? At least,until your daughter is transformed? ''. Queen Sheena asked.
'' Of course I will stay your highness. I will never leave my baby ''.
'' Okay then,shall we leave? ''.
'' We shall mother ''.
(The three of them left the room,without Bhavna drinking the garlic juice. They all forgot it).
...
.....
(Prince Majid's chamber).
He stood in the middle of his room. He turned to a huge drawer close to his bed with arranged golden statues on it but he scattered them all around his room. His wavy hair fell on his beautiful spotless face and he breath heavily through his hair. He pulled the bedsheets on his bed and threw them out of his sight and he finally gave out a loud angry scream.
He needed to take all his ahnger on all the beautiful decorations in his chamber. He started remembering all the promises he made to Cindy of never leaving her when they were in London. His personal guard quickly entered when he heard the scream and he bowed down.
'' My Prince, please is there anything you may need? ''.
(Majid started looking around his room for his phone and he dropped all the droppable things and raised and shifted all the things in his chamber but couldn't find his phone).
'' Cindy was right! You gyards are all useless! Who the hell took my phones from here? ''.
'' The Queen mother, my Prince ''.
'' What the....
'' She sent a guard to come and take your phone from here ''.
'' For what? ''.
'' I don't know your highness ''.
'' Hmmm. (Majid sat slowly on his bed. His heavy chest,moving up and down in anger).
...
.....
(Queen Dorah's Chamber).
She entered her chamber with a wide smile. Her mission was accomplished. Now,no one was ever going to see that pot again since it was now in Queen Meerah's chamber. She was now relaxed more than ever. Now she needed a way to take the key back before any suspicions were raised.
She went slowly to where the curtains his the secret door, she raised the curtains and to her astonishment, the door was there. She laughed out loud and went back to her bed. She started thinking of how to use the current situation to her and Faruk's advantage. A guard entered and bowed down.
...
'' Your highness. Savitri asked herself in your presence ''.
'' Sa..Savitri? Let her in ''.
(The guard left and Savitri quickly entered. She didn't bow down to her. Her wings was higher than ever).
'' What do you want? ''.
'' You know what I want Queen Dorah ''.
'' Watch you mouth! ''.
'' No,you watch your back! I can't wait any longer. Give me your answer now. Because I didn't like the news of Prince Faruk and the princess of Jhansi's marriage at all. Have you already forgotten our deal? ''....
.....
'' We had no deal you fool. I told you that your daughter and my son,can never be! ''.
'' Then you seriously leave me with no other choice Queen Dorah. I will expose you...right here,right now ''. She said and turned to leave.
'' No wait! Don't di this Savitri. I have done a lot for you,you can't betray me like this ''.
'' Oh really now. So,is that a yes or a no? ''.
(Queen Dorah entered into a deep thought for a while).
'' Okay fine! Fine,I accept the deal. Get out of here,I will call you tomorrow so we can further discuss ''...
.....
'' Good girl Queen Dorah. Good girl. Enjoy the rest of your day. And I know you very well...don't try anything fishy with me,don't even dare try anything against me...else,you wouldn't like the results at all ''. Savitri said and walked to the chamber door. She opened the door,Queen Dorah and Savitri are shocked to see who is standing at the door,frowning...
