Finally, the day they've been all waiting for. The day of hope, peace and the day of dethronement.
The whole entrance of the palace was filled with crowds the next morning. Their noises continued to echo to the extent that the palace kept on vibrating repeatedly. They were all screaming and shouting.
"Let Philip rule, let Philip rule, let Philip rule". This words kept on echoing into the atmosphere. The king looked down to the people and told them that he had heard agree to their suggestion.
My beloved citizens, I'm so overwhelmed by your patience, thanks for not leaving my father's land,for standing firm with me when others were leaving, for every sacrifices you've made just for me. Who am I to rule over when you guys are absent?.
"As a good leader, I'm ready to follow the will of the people and hand over the throne to my big brother but before I do that,I want you all to give me two more days on the throne".
This last word made everyone to murmur and grumble. One of the citizens asked. "why?"
"I heard the voice of my father saying to me that the devil will be caught within two days".
As his brother (Philip) heard this, he pushed his chest "What sort of nonsense are saying?".
The people got so confused, intensified because of the king brother's reaction. Even if they are brothers, he has no right to do such to him in front of others ,at least , he should respect his post as the king.
"The king had not been dethroned yet,so why would he disrespect the king in front of everyone"
The people of Eastender got so angry again and agreed to the king's decision. Philip never knew what made him act like a beast at that moment. His action just made his dream to be postponed for two good days. As the crowd turned their backs finding their way back home, Philip tried to call them back but he failed and they didn't listen. He looked at the king with an angry look and walked to his room.
"What's wrong with Philip, why is he behaving so gawky?" The king asked.
The princess then grabbed the king's garment and whispered to his ear saying
"Dad,I know why he's angry"
What do you mean?
"I saw him laughing at you yesterday, when you were crying on the throne. His heart was filled with joy when he heard that he will be the next king today. He never knew that his dream would be postponed."
"Ohhhhh !, but it's had not gotten to that, it's just two days," the king said.
"Dad be careful, not everyone in this palace wants you to remain as the king nor human."the princess warned him.
The king then walked out of the princess and ignored her speech. She really regretted what she said too her father concerning her uncle (Philip), cause she s sounded as if the chaos is his hand work. After all , she was telling the truth but we all know that "The Truth Is Bitter".
She then realized that her father dislikes bitterness even if honey was added. Her dad walking away from her made her angry to the extent that she stayed indoor for one good day without greeting her father.
