Meena stood up from her seat with her gaze lowered, two guards moved the curtains for her to come from the area the female royals seat in the courtroom.

She walked till she reached middle of the courtroom, she dropped to the floor with her palms together in a guesture of apology.

She was too ashamed to look everybody in the eye,hence she kept her gaze down.

"I....i.....i'm sorry" she started, a pool of tears formed in her already puffy eyes and made it's way to her cheek and down to her neck and then disappeared in her dress.

"What i'hv done is unforgivable,please punish me....punish me in such a way that....No royalty or anyone could dare think of betraying his own people" she sniffed and continued. "I have tarnished the royal family's reputation, i have been a blemish and damaged the pretige of this city....history will never forgive me...."

The courtroom was so quite such that only her cries could be heard, eveyr word that came out of her mouth only sent chills to everyone, everyone was so engaged in their own thoughts but of the same subject matter, her cries drove many to tears though they all knew what she has done is unforgivable and they hated her for it .....but she's still there beloved princess that they cherished so much, they couldn't help but sympathize with her....how could they not?, they all looked up to her and they still do even after what she's done.

"Please punish me....punish me severely.....so severly that.....death punishment won't be enough punishment....." Someone covered her mouth from behind to before she could finish but she felt a very fat lump in her throat for not being able to finish and she cried in her uncle's arms as she continued to cry ' i'm sorry'.

The court was unusually too quiet as all took time to calm themselves and waited for her to calm down too.

A little while after, Everyone calmed and so was Meena and then there was discussions among the courtiers, it was evident they were talking about the possible punishment for the princess and they won't be lenient even for the fact that she was a royal, they wanted to set an example which will serve as a lesson to anyone for them never to think of betraying their own people.

Deep down she knew no possible punishment suits the crime she's commited, this whole thing still feels like a nightmare which she wanted to wake up from as soon as possible, it was so unacceptable to her, the only thing she found acceptable in this whole case was her crime and her coming punishment.

Not only the subjects, even she would never be able to forgive herself.

She could remember that all the people sitting here were the ones that put their trusts in her but unfortunately today, they are the ones deciding her punishment.

In two months...only in two, her perfect life turned into the worst nightmare, A nightmare that taught her the biggest lesson of her life, A nightmare she still found unbelievable and unacceptable, A nightmare which was too scary to be true.

She thought back to the perfect life she had then before all these...
