Princess Nar has taken some time thinking before she looked at queen lisha and utter, "I thought I should leave you in peace your highness. I should get back to my chambers, it's getting late".
"Good night!" Sounded queen lisha with smile.
And princess Nar left with her trusted servant, Samar. As they reached the chambers, Samar opened the door for princess Nar.
He looked back before he sounded, "meree hamadam (my lady)!".
And princess Nar walked in as he followed her.
"Dhanyavaad Samar (thank you Samar)" sounded princess Nar as she entered. She walked to the chair near the mirror and sit down, facing it. As she was looking at herself in the mirror, the mood of her face has purely revealed her worries. She kept silence for some time before she spoke, "I thought it's getting late Samar. Let's go".
"What happened my lady? I was outside and didn't know what you have discussed with the queen. Is everything ok?" Asked Samar in kindness.
Princess Nar bent down her head and utter, "I don't understand why some people are so selfish. They never cared for someone's feeling but only to progress in their zeal. What a strange life? Do you know, the queen is trying to do something wrong. For me, it's a blessing to have a good husband but I have grown up with prince pial and I understood him much like a brother".
"But ... Is it not the princes's choice?"
"Before I also thought it's his choice but no ... It's only the choice of the queen".
"Whatever it is, it's better you get to know about the princes's choice. If there's a problem then you quit from the Queen's defraud and if he's ready then you should calm yourself my lady".
"This is also an idea Samar. I will see the prince tomorrow and we shall discuss".
"That's fine my lady".
"It's getting so late. I should go to bed early. There are lots to do tomorrow i think".
"There's always lots to do everyday my lady. Since the time you became a princess, a week hasn't returned when you're free" said Samar as he was arranging the bedsheets.
Princess Nar smiled. "Long live your life uncle" she sounded excitedly as she walked to switch off the lamps.
"That's my dialogue princess" he sounded again. And by the time he finished clearing the bed, he uttered, "everything is clear now my lady. I should leave. Good night".
"Good night uncle" sounded princess Nar kindly.
And Samar walked out. While princess Nar laid in the bed and fall asleep.
While prince pial was standing upstairs. He was worriedly looking at the people moving around and performing their duties. Although it's night but the city is still crowded with many people performing their businesses. Shortly prince Yoon arrives and he silently placed his hand on prince pial's back.
Prince pial swiftly turned. "Oh brother! Hello" he sounded, faked a smile.
Prince Yoon smiled and moved close to him. "Hello pial. I hope you are fine?"
And prince pial nodded his head.
"I hope you're not worried pial. You should always be strong".
"I understand brother. But the problem is, I cannot live in peace without Ixan. This is not just my saying. You know I can sacrifice everything for the sake of mother's happiness and for the family. This is the hardest decision I will ever made in my life. Believe me, this is the most terrible condition of my life".
And prince Yoon smiled before he added, "God has given you every chance in life pial. I don't know what's the secret of mother's plan. If not, why would she force you? That has never happened before. And then what do you think about the princess?"
Prince pial released a hard breath before he replied, "I don't know either. But I know princess Nar will never betray me. There's something behind this brother. I know one day it will reveal itself".
"Calm yourself. Now you think of what to tell Ixan. I know that some days news will frisk her on this. If you don't tell her then she will feel bad. And refusing to tell her is a big mistake".
"How am I going to face her?" Said prince pial in deep thought.
And prince Yoon slightly beats his shoulder. "Of course you can. Just try your best and everything will move on successfully. Trust in yourself. It's getting late, I should get back to my chambers".
"Sure bro" answered prince pial with a cute smile. And he added, "good night".
"Good night" answered prince Yoon and he left.
While prince pial continue looking downstairs as the people were packing their goods back to their homes and closing their houses. Prince pial walked back to his chamber. He closed the door of his room and walked to the bed. As he silently lay down and couldn't felt to sleep.
People were still moving to their houses while some were closing their shops. It's an hour after prince pial went to his chambers. And that's when he felt asleep.
At early morning, princess Nar was adorning herself with the aids of her maids. She wore a long pink dress made with stones and a long blue-color veil round her collar and on her waist. With the beautiful diamond necklaces, golden bracelets and earrings. She wore a little make-up and her hair was rolled over her back with a flower ribbon on it. She looked so beautiful and adorable.
Soon after the make-up, princess Nar looked at herself in the mirror again and smiled. And she sounded, "it's perfect girls. You should get back to your work. And Rila!" She called.
"Yes ma'am" answered Rila respectively.
"Please tell uncle Samar to arrange for my horse riding competition. I wish prince pial will also participate in the seminar?" Asked princess Nar, thinking.
And Rila uttered, "hopefully my lady, he'll be there. If you need anything else, you can call me".
Princess Nar smiled and responded, "thanks Rila".
That's when the other maid, Drisat arrived. She was holding a small white paper in her hands. She bow to princess Nar and says, "my lady, prince pial has request to have a chat with you. And in the other hand, queen lisha has summoned you".
Princess Nar chuckled and utter, "unbelievable! How can I do it? Is it very urgent that they both need to see me at the same time or is there a problem?".
"My Lady, I have heard that prince pial want to see you for ..." Drisat tried to explain but she kept silence.
"What are you trying to say Drisat? Go on, tell me" asked princess Nar, trying to raise up from the chair.
And Drisat looked at her, trying to explain.
Prince pial was standing on the terrace. As usual, he was looking downstairs where people are performing their duties and children that are playing around. He was in that notion, he heard Lihan's voice and he turned.
"It's great to see you bro" he sounded as he walked to him gladly.
They embraced each other before Lihan sounds, "me too prince pial. How are you?"
"What will I say Lihan? Everything is ruined in my part" said prince pial.
As Lihan was walking to him. "God will guide us brother. Why are you standing there alone? You should be with me or prince Yoon. You're hurting yourself my brother. Please keep yourself at rest. Remember your Ixan's words, the world is not the enough to us. We have a long life ahead of us" he uttered.
Prince pial sounds, "come here". He walked and sat.
As Lihan went and sat with him.
"The queen has sent me and the princess for tea. I don't even have the strength to eat. You know what, I just thought of telling princess Nar about me and Ixan" said prince pial.
"And are you sure it's brilliant. She's also a woman".
"What will I do Lihan? Lay my life on lies. I cannot start a new life with the person I don't love. I know you can understand me since you know everything Lihan" prince pial was speaking in lack of acumen.
"I understand brother. I know it's time to break the stone. But don't you think at this time breaking the stone will make it blast a fire that will burnt us all" said Lihan while looking at prince pial surreptitiously.
