"I have no idea your highness. He has went with sir Lihan. I don't know where they had gone" answered Jes.
"It's okay, i remembered now. Lihan told me they're going for hunting trip today. I am only expecting the princess's arrival and that makes me delightful. You may go now Jes. And please send me some sweet nosh, l lost my appetite" said Queen Lisha again.
Jes bowed and answered, "right away your highness".
A whiny sound of a horses outside the gate called their attention. As Queen Lisha exclaimed, "Is like a sound of pial's horse I am hearing right. Has he return yet?"
By the time Jes ran and look out from the window. She awkward at seeing prince Pial and Lihan got down their horses. "You're right your highness, they're here already. Your highness, the ..." before she done speaking, queen lisha has already walked outside.
Prince Pial and Lihan were chatting when Prince Yoon arrived at the moment.
"Shubh dopahar bade bhaee (good afternoon big brother)" greeted Prince Pial.
As prince Yoon gave them warm welcome. "Achchha mere chhote bhaee, aur tumhaare lie bhee lihaan. Tum log tab se kahaan chale gae? (Good my little brother, and to you also Lihan. Where have you guys gone since?)" Asked prince Yoon, giving them a wry smile.
And Lihan looked at Prince Pial before he speaks, "ham ek lambee yaatra par gae hain (we have gone for a long trip)".
"Trip of life?" Asked prince Yoon again.
"Bilkul (exactly)! That's a brilliant idea. Trip of life".
Then prince Pial asked, "where's our sister-in-law?"
"Meree patnee (my wife)? She has travelled to Anesmic kingdom to see her parents. I thought I told you about this yesterday. What's wrong with your brain nowadays Pial? You easily forgotten things" said prince Yoon.
"You're right bro, there's something in my mind".
"Don't let it fluster your mind brother".
"Mujhe apanee taraph se sabase badhiya karana hai (i will do my best)" he answered. Then he saw the Queen coming towards them as he sounds, "he meree maan (Oh my mother)!". And he walked to her.
She also gave him a warm welcome and then she faced him, "tum mujhe chintit rakhate ho (you keep me worried). How long have you wasted for this hunt?"
Prince Yoon and prince Pial looked at each other before prince Yoon respond on his behalf "it's just for a matter of time mother. Aapako pareshaan karane ke lie hamen khed hai. Lekin ham vaada karate hain ki ham phir se koee galatee nahin karenge (we're sorry for keeping you worried. But we promise not to make another mistake again)".
And they both laughed including the Queen. Then they walked inside. While Prince Pial went with Lihan to his chambers and prince Yoon escorted the Queen to her palace. Throughout the evening, Lihan and Prince Pial continue to chat until dawn when Lihan moved to his home.
At night, Queen Lisha went to Prince Pial's chambers and she knocked on the door.
"Come in!" Said Prince Pial.
And Queen Lisha entered.
Prince Pial quickly stood from bed, said "Mother, you're here?".
"Koee baat nahin (it's okay). Go back to your bed. It's something I came just to tell you".
"Don't worry mother, l am not sleepy. Come inside and sit" and he raised up from bed, appreciating her concern.
Queen Lisha silently sat before she utter, "Pial, l came to tell you the good news".
"Vaah maan, batao to (wow mother, tell me)" exclaimed Prince Pial.
"Kya aap wyoming kee raajakumaaree nar ko jaanate hain (do you know princess Nar of Wyoming)?"
"Mainne usake baare mein keval suna hai (i only heard about her)".
"She's coming to Keswick next tomorrow".
"That's such a great news mother. Are we having a deal with her kingdom or anything else?"
"That's a surprise and I will not tell you".
"My dearest mother, we don't have secret in between families remember. But no worries, don't tell me. I will know the secret soon".
"And yes, tomorrow l am going for our traditional tour. Do you remember?"
"It's now l did mother. Oop! How terrible. Brother was right. I easily forget about important things nowadays. Would you like me to be with you there mother?"
"Not really child. As usual, l will go with the knights. We will be safe".
"Okay mother. But don't stop me. I am going to arrange your food and the securities. And I wish you a happy return mother. I know Yoon has known".
"He also said the same thing. God bless you. Hmm! That's it. Now you rest. Let me go back".
"Ruko maan, main tumhen le chalata hoon (wait mother, let me escort you)".
"Don't worry, l didn't came here alone. My maid is with me. Just have a nice dream. Shubh raatri (good night)".
"Maan aapako shubh raatri (good night to you mother)" said Prince Pial with smile on his face. And he went back to bed.
At early morning, the sun shines in the bright blue sky. Prince Pial, Lihan and prince Yoon were at the kitchen along with some servants. They were busy arranging different kinds of delicious foods for the tour. While the Queen was getting ready with the aid of her maids.
"Lucknow kebabs, kimchi, rice dishes, parathas, thali and Lassi yogurt, is that all. We have really tried guys but l don't think it's enough" sounded prince pial.
As Yoon responded, "I also thought the same thing bro. What do you think Lihan?"
"I thought we should add with an ostrich fry meat and more drinks" suggested Lihan.
"Yah shaanadaar vichaar hai (that's brilliant idea). Mother's not ready yet, so we should hurry. I am sure we'll not be late" said Yoon.
"Carry on. Pass me the pot" commanded prince pial pleasantly. And he received the pot from one of the servants. After he added all the ingredients into the pot, he heat them until they're softened.
Within a short minutes, the food is ready. They placed it in a food flasks and containers. By that time, Queen Lisha was ready. And they took their path.
"Your highness, this is the village of Heoro" said the commander of army, as they were passing-by.
"Commander Rose, you almost known everywhere around Keswick. By the time l am done here, l will hire you to show me around the places" uttered queen lisha delightfully.
And commander Rose smiled and responded, "aapakee ichchha mere lie hukm hai (your wish is my command)". And he beat his horse to speed up.
They were not far from Ixan's tent which is the place she usually does her trainings, they starts to hear a fremd sounds_ like coyote or leopard.
"Yah kya dhvani hai (what's this sounds)?" Asked Queen Lisha curiously.
They all kept quiet and desist in one place. As they were looking around, in an attempt to actively target the beast's spike. Out of turn, a sturdy and hairy gothic creature appeared before them. Tremendously they moved back for seeing it. They have never faced a creature like it before so they cannot estimate its power and its average height.
The soldiers swiftly got down their horses and removed their swords, waiting for its attack. While the animal was still pursuing them. Vividly, it track down to them in attack as the soldiers continue to fight back, trying to protect the queen. In one blow it threw down five soldiers and they felt down unconscious. And then the beast continue looking at Queen Lisha, targeting her. And in the other hand, Queen Lisha silently removed her dagger from her waist and waiting for it.
