The royal celesta was rung uncountable times due to the enormous setback the kingdom was facing.
Princess Orphelia Gemini(heiress of the throne of gemini )was missing!
Apparently,her sister had gone to check up on her but couldn't find her everywhere .
Geminine sought her at the palace garden for she liked the scents of roses in the morning,the patio for she was a lover of the red sun of dawn.
She'd gone as far as the palace gates where the gallant man she rejected was statued to no Vail.
Terrified, she first alarmed the Calvary men before going to inform her parents.
After, close inspection,the princess wasn't found ,it looked like the kidnappers were long gone!
The Kingdom's flag was hung low, soldiers matched thrice-representing the kingdoms gloom.
The king ,who is the commander in Chief of the armed forces was with them.
As a great strategist he always was, he talked to them and positioned them for departure.
They rushed to different directions, the king not left out.
The military commander had seen the determination on the King's opalescent eyes and decided not to Interfere.
What hurt the soldiers most was the gloom ,pain and some hidden emotion that was gathered on the face of the King.
It was all their fault that the King appeared haggard and defeated!
They sought her everywhere from Umber, Rhino Rocky,Mercy,Esbol ,Rani ,Zeus and many more principalities under the enormous kingdom of Gemini.
The entire Kingdom was in Chaos!
Azzel Kingdom,Gentle Kingdom, Agness Kingdom ,Oliver Kingdom and Agility were sent to the terrifying news.
Billboards were erected in every principalities,massenger pigeons and parrots were removed from their cages to pass the information about the lost Princess.
A means the king liked during wars.
To save many people from being killed.
All measures and counter -measures were perfectly put in place but still nothing came forth.
The King sat on the grass drinking water;The after marth of his loss was so evident on his face,he almost grew old with grief .
His hair was unkempt,his clothes dirty and sweaty,so much unkingly.
Of what use was the throne? Could it buy life? Could it purchase happiness?
Suddenly,it occurred to him!
Their must be a traitor for all those to happen!
Of what use were palace guards if they could do nothing!He would do undercover research on it.
A week a go, the now rogue prince had entered the palace as though there was only one man.
Suddenly he sensed a sword blade on his neck!
He dared not turn as the person's motive was to kill as he had cut his neck and blood upsurged.
Before he could act,the neck of the unknown man fell near his feet! Someone had saved his life!
Taking off all his precious jewels,the bangles,the necklaces,.He turned, It was Eddipode!
"Take them ....take them I need them not you, have saved my Life and you art a honourable man.Y ou shall sell them!"
Eddipode only stared at him with unreadable emotions on his handsome face.
The tired soldiers having returned hungry and uneventful,they drank water and some loaves of bread.
They attended the King's wound before going back home.
Their heads hinging law with shame and defeat.

Geminine had been walking passing up and down waiting for anything about her sister to no avail.
When the troops came back,she almost flew to them,
"Foundest thou my dearest sister?"asked she concernedly.
Queen Grizeel Charles who bethought her daughter could go nowhere now became serious and asked,"Where is my daughter?Where art her?!"
"Your Highnesses I bid thee good afternoon everything would be alright."
With that answer, the Calvary men ran -Perhaps runing from the painful questions.
Turning to her mother, Geminine said,"Queen mother what causes thee alarm?Go and have rest for you look faint.I shall call thee at her arrival."
Hugging her lone daughter, she said ,
"I shall rest for I don't feel well. Take care of your self till then."
"I will...I will ." answered Amelia.
'My daughter is lost .' thought the queen.
Amelia sat waiting for her sister's come back but deep down, she new that her sister would not come back any sooner.
She was fated to be alone in her father's land her sister In some lands.
It was only half a day but the fondest memories they had together haunted her!
Human beings know not when they part ways, be it by death or urgent journey!
A person's presence in someone's life is like a will wind!
Her sister was overly happy and greeted everyone in
the palace.. Gifted everyone who greeted her first.
"Sister what will you do with Xperia?"Asked Amelia.
Laughing joyously, she said"Away with the clingy man.. Everything is usual.My answer is still No ." said Orphelia determinedly.
"You don't consent to defeat..Do you?"
"Nope....You know ,I can't be defeated,right?"Ophelia had said.
"The Queen requires your presence in the dining hall ."said Melissa her lady in waiting..
The twins playfully had run out of the boudoir leaving Melissa all smiles and happiness!
They had feasted, talked and laughed merrily.The Queen mother had talked to Orphelia about Xperia!
"Orphelia, from birth you didn't know what you wanted.I can't choose for you but you need to make the rightest possible decision." said the Queen mother.
"Mother the thought of selling our ancestors blood and sweat annoys me.I love my kingdom."
In the evening she was gloomy and said she needed her private time.Amelia had politely left.
And now she could not be found!!!
