"Dad, I have come to ask for a favor," Lily said.
"Speak, my daughter, what is it all about? Your father is willing to listen to your petition," says the king, Lily's father.
Lily: "I cherish Adrian, that mortal man from the earth, so much. I need you to accept him and allow him to come over for his fortification. My heart beats for him. Please, Dad."
"Darling daughter, I'm your father, the king of this great land, Lutua. I know better than you do, that dude can't be with you for the following reasons: he's not a prince, just a mere mortal man from the earth."
Lily: "Must I be in love with a prince?"
"Dear Lily, the rule of the game is that you, being a princess of Lutua, must be with a man from this land or a man that's of royal blood from another realm. Such a man must possess some supernatural power higher than yours to protect and defend you."
But, Father, I'm cool with Adrian. Men made the laws and can alter them. Do something, father.
"You can't be with him, dear daughter. If he's a prince, we wouldn't be discussing this. I decide what you do, who you be with, and not the other way around."
"Father, allow me to be with him. Adrian has some powers to protect and defend me. He will even be stronger if he gets fortified. He's my man, him or no one.
"Never. I said never, daughter," screamed the king.
In the other world, Adrain was so lonely and was taking a stroll along the street. A car cruised past him and stopped. No one came out, but as Adrain reached where it was parked, someone wind down the right rare glass.
"Hello, Mr. Adrian he said.
Adrian turned to see who greeted him, lol, and behold, it was the prince in the car. "Yeah, this guy has come for the trouble. No need to be afraid; I got some fortification. The stage is set, and whatever way we shall give it to each other. As he had this thought, he still managed to reciprocate the greeting, saying "hi."
"I want to come over to your house tomorrow; let's have a discussion," says the prince.
Adrain: "I won't be home. Why don't we do it here?
The prince: "perfect." He opened his mouth and began to reveal to Adrian the purpose of his planned visitation as Adrain stood by the car.
"Mr. Adrian, it's about Lily."
Adrain: "What's about Lily?" Adrain's countenance changed immediately as soon as the prince mentioned the name Lily.
The prince: "Please, can we have a treaty?"
Adrain: "What treaty, if I may ask?"
The prince: "I know you are into her, Lily, but I want her desperately. Have my beautiful younger sister for yourself plus this car, and let Lily be for me."
Adrain: "Over my dead body. If you are still crushing on her, you are just dreaming—a dream that will never come true.
"Do you realize the benefit you will have if you agree and we have this treaty? You will automatically become a member of the royal family, Mr. Adrain." The prince said this as he tried to persuade him.
Adrian paused for a moment, pondering the enticing offer. "It's a great privilege to become part of the royal family; I can go to any realm and get beautiful damsels, but one thing is for sure: true love I have for Lily." This was the discussion going on within himself.
"My prince, I won't trade her for anything."
The prince: "Do you realize that I am the overall boss of this town? I can do and undo. Allow me to have her, or you lose your life," he said as he became very furious.
As Adrain knew he's no longer an ordinary man and he can match and neutralize the prince's demonic power, he said, "A barking dog is not often a biting dog, and a bitting dog is not often a barking dog; bring it on."
The two men lock horns with their eyes, but the perfect day and location for the fight have not come. "We shall see who emerges victorious," said the prince as he zoomed off.
Adrain responded with a smile as he continued his stroll.
At the other end of Jupiter, Lily was in an unhappy state as her father didn't approve of her relationship with Adrian. "If I don't have Adrian, I will torture this man (the king"), she soloquizes. And rhetorically, she asked herself, "Why will this man be fighting genuine love?" He has got the mind to fight this relationship, and I will fight his peace of mind till he surrenders.
Now, how can these two young lovers fight this war? It's still a mystery.
